I had waaay too much to drink on Saturday night. And got into an argument with some drunk douche at the bar. He picked up my friend's purse off of our chair and threw it on the ground. I asked him what was wrong with him and told him to keep his hands off our things. He started spewing off random insults at me; apparently I'm unattractive, I look like the kind of girl who will have two kids by 45 (whut? NOT THAT!), and he hopes I die a lesbian. lol.
I went from only having to deal with a situation indirectly to being the point person because someone called in sick today.
I am still sleepy from the weekend.
I have a muffin staring at me from my desk, I am tyring to not eat it but I am certain I will fail.
DH was just a giant jerkface on the phone--we have food in the house but he's all pricklepants because it's not the food he was looking for. I am very glad to be at work right now.

My wedding is in five days, and the universe is bent on messing with me :-)
My best friend in the world now can't come because she had surgery and is just not healed enough to make the transatlantic flight.
My hairdresser is getting on my last nerve, and I really regret hiring her.
My catering manager can't seem to actually find my file until AFTER she calls or emails me and realizes she is saying the wrong stuff.
Instead of getting my best friend at my wedding, my other friend's husband will be home from his deployment in time to go, but I'm pissed at him for volunteering to go to an overseas deployment when he had a wife and a newborn at home in a city where they knew nobody, so I really don't want to see him.
And I have a giant contract I have to get prepared and out the door before I leave.
Addy has had an explosive poopsplosion every afternoon I have left the house. I am hoping she does it for DH today when he takes her for the afternoon while I get to go and coach my track team The baby is still sleeping and it's wonderful! Since we started supplementing, she sleeps for a bit longer during the day and almost 4 hour stretches at night. So fortunate that she is a good baby and am totally knocking on wood now.
I bought like 25 things at Carter's for ds's summer wardrobe and only spent $160.00. He's now all set for summer and I didn't have to pay a grip for it like I thought I was going to!
I cleaned my bathroom, organized the laundry room a bit, vacuumed, and did all the laundry yesterday.
Dd's party was a success even though there were only 3 other kids there. She had fun though and got some pretty cool stuff so that's all that matters! Maybe next year we can actually have the party at our own house instead of my mom's house!
Dd woke up with a fever over 101 this morning. I feel bad for her but I had so much to get done today. We have literally no food in the house and I'm trying to decide how crappy it would be of me to take her out to pick up a few things.
Dope her up and take her. I've done it and I'd definitely do it if we had no food. I'm sorry. I hope she feels better soon.
I have had a ridiculously rough start to my day. I came to work in my flip flops because I forgot to switch my shoes after I took the dog out. I got into a big fight with my dad on the phone over stuff that has been building up for years now. And I literally forgot how to log on to my system at work. Like sat here pushing the wrong key and could.not figure it out. I feel dumb today.
I'm already hungry for lunch but it's too early to eat it. So I'm drinking insane amounts of water to try to get rid of the hunger pains but I have to pee constantly.
I want a weekend do-over. My h was being a jerk, like everyone else's way. He spent the entire weekend out, while I was home with the kids sick. I still feel like crap today, but don't want to call in sick. It's my moms day with the kids, and I'll just be more pissed off if I spend the afternoon with her.

Serenity now! :-)
^o) How intimate are you with their financial situation? He is making a shit load more money. How about his career? It is the best way to get a promotion, which again...boost to their financial situation. Also, whether or not he volunteered for THIS deployment doesn't change the fact that he is going to be deployed regardless. He may have chosen a voluntary deployment to delay the next one.

That statement is annoying me.
Plus, it may have been that they decided it would have been easier on everyone if he left when the baby was too young to miss him.
I start meds for IVF 3 today and I'm super nervous, I obviously know it can work for us and I'm grateful for that and that we even have this opportunity, but I am anxious and so wanting this to be our last cycle.
I totally hope this is your last cycle. Sending positive thoughts and baby dust.
I am at work and it feels good. Although I'm obviously procrastinating working on the latest project.
My right eye hurts every time I look around. Which is just plain fucking weird.
I cannot remember the last time I was alone for more than 30 minutes. I am going to have to take off a day and hide out at a friend's house or something.
Sounds kinda like an ocular migraine. It wouldn't surprise me with all of the stress you've been under. So glad you've got a normal day.
I had a real crazy ass dream last night. It involved a bunch of people I hardly ever see anymore and we were all working at my old high school. It was random and really vivid and I woke up scratching my head thinking "WTF?"
DH and I will have our 4th wedding anniversary this Thursday. Dinner out and Iron Man 3.........are we totally lame? LOL

He straight up told everyone on facebook, "I'm bored, thinking of doing a voluntary deployment to Saudi for 15 months" All of FB, including his military brethren, said, "Don't." She was making great money at a position she enjoyed. Being in a city where she had no real support system besides him, she had to move back home to be by family. Hence, she now gave up her job. He has already done numerous deployments. This deployment will not get him promoted, and he knew that before he took it. His child was a few months old. You don't get a second chance to see those "firsts." He also did not discuss it with HER, until AFTER HE HAD ALREADY VOLUNTEERED BECAUSE, in his apparent wisdom, "He wasn't sure if he would be selected." He did it for him. Not for them.
I broke my glasses when we were out of town for the weekend. It was such a stupid accident I can't believe it happened. But talk about being stressed out! Thankfully DH fixed them with some tape. I am excited though to be picking out new frames! It's been more than 2 years so it's time.
So...speaking of periods after a D&C. Even after a dosage of progesterone, I still never bled, so I ended up getting another HSG last week. Turns out there was scarring on my cervix and my cervix was also tightly closed. So the dr thinks I have/had cervical stenosis. I also had a 2 cm blood clot in my uterus which ended up being a period. Sorry, gross. So basically, my cervix was so blocked that I never bled out. fun! I hope this is it and I can get back on track. I'm not getting any younger.
This isn't a random - this is more of a I'm freaking the fuck out sort of thing but I'm going to hide in here.
I'm pretty sure I Just bombed my neuro final - it's worth 40% of my final grade and I needed a B to keep my B in the class. If you make a C - you're out of the program.
I know nothing is solidified yet but I'm finding it very, very hard to hold it together right now.

Okay, but... she didn't have to move. Plenty of people live in cities without family or friends and manage to get by. And... presumably she still wants to be married to him, so whatever their dynamic is, it appears to be working for them. And lastly, a voluntary deployment may not directly get him promoted, but it will advance his career and look good on his record.
As far as whether or not he'll miss out on the child's life -- eh. If he's as big a dick as you claim he is, he'd have missed those firsts anyway. But clearly she gets off on it, so butt out.
Gracious, LHC, its not like I say this stuff to her. I vent on it here, so that when I see him at my rehearsal dinner I'm all, "Oh welcome home! Its so great to see you home and safe and sound and blah blah blah" I don't diss her husband to her face, I don't say anything about it to him, or to her, etc. So, I'm not even "IN" to a point that I have to butt "OUT." I'm pissed for my friend, but I know better to say anything about it to her. Sheesh.
For the past 3-4 days, I've woken up with my hands and feet feeling swollen and tight and stiff. I drink oceans of water; but could I still be dehydrated? or am I having a stroke? Give it to me straight.
Have you been in to a neurologist? With the dizzy and now the hands thing, I'm wondering if you have something cookin'
Okay, but... why are you pissed for your friend? She's putting up with it, so clearly she's okay with it. She's the one who voluntarily moved and gave up her job willingly.
You've never had a friend who was with someone you didn't like? Come on now.

You know what though? If I were still in the Army and a parent, I would totally take a volunteer deployment to Saudi Arabia. Safe, lots of internet access (skype, etc) and it delays another deployment that could be to ANYWHERE.
I'm going to stop with you, because I don't think you'll get it.

Of course, but I also recognize that it's ultimately my friend's dumb fault for staying with someone so clearly shitty and for consciously deciding to dismantle her life for him.

Look Margot, this isn't an "I hate the military thing." I have lots of military in my family. We have survived lots of deployments, times away from family, missed events, etc. I have a cousin who will be missing the wedding because his ship is currently deployed, and I'm not mad at him. There are other factors at play here that I'm not going to go chapter and verse on for you. He won't get out of this what he put in to it, he did it without consulting my friend, it won't necessarily delay another deployment (according to my friend, anyway) because apparently things are just different in the US Coast Guard? And in my irrational and super stressed out current state, I'm feeling the annoying slap of karma that instead of getting to have my oldest and dearest friend with me on my wedding day, I get this guy. Who acted first and thought second. I don't have a problem with deployments. I have a problem with THIS deployment and how he treated my friend with regards to it. I get that apparently this makes me wrong and irratinoal. But I promise, I will be nothing but thrilled he's home safe from serving his country and all that jazz when I see him.
