Friday morning randoms, flamefuls, whathaveyous

The countdown is on: 5 more teaching days, and I'm on vacation!

[iamgrace]

Today is a daycare day! :::twirls:::

I was outside earlier and I think a bug bit my crotch. I experienced a sharp pinprick type pain and now have a little red itchy bump where my thigh merges with my....crotch.

next week, i'm driving for 3 days alone with a 6yo and a 3yo. TN to WV to PA to CT. please pray for me.

You're nuts. 

[wambam]

I am the worst partier ever. I was completely sober when I left the party last night, even drove myself home. And I still feel super shitty.

[jinkies]

We came home from our beach vacation two days early because the kids weren't sleeping (the 1 year old usually sleeps 12-13 hours and was only getting about 7 or 8 a night) and had turned into horrible, possessed creatures by last night. I was embarrassed to leave early (we were vacationing with friends) but it's 8:30 here and the kids are still sleeping, so I feel like we made a good decision.

In other random beach related news: In the past week, I have observed that bandeau tops are almost universally unflattering. Even if you have freakishly perky boobs, there is almost definitely a better choice out there.

[flamingeaux]

It's my day off and I've been up for 3 hours already. My cat is napping on my boobs. Apparently lefty makes a good pillow.

[psychmom]

I watched Katy Perrys movie last night and now Russell Brand is a giant assface to me.

H is really getting on my nerves.

[rex]

It's going to feel like 100+ today. I plan on parking my ass in the ac and not moving.

Why am I pregnant in the summer?

[Deleted]

I'm kind of hungover and I am supposed to out dancing tonight with my girlfriends. I have no idea how I am going to get thru this day and then rally tonight. I am such an old lady!

[blueballoon]

It has been crazy hot here lately, 33 celcius yesterday,today and the next week. So H and I walked 15 minutes in the heat to the lake. We get there and the lifeguards are advising people not to swim in any lakes in the city as recent heavy rains has cause the bacteria levels to go up past healthy levels and it will take a few days to down and be swimable again.I'm not going to lie, I cried. I was already so hot that the thought of walking back in the heat pushed me over the edge. I probably looked so stupid,a grown woman in a bathing suit walking down the road sobbing. I had a cold shower thinking that maybe it could substitute for swimming, but NOPE, not even fucking close. I hope the lakes will be swimable again by next week otherwise I'm going to go insane.

WHERE IN PA!??!?!?!?!??!

harrisburg. we're actually staying there a few days....in a hotel with a bar.  we're also meeting my parents in PA....so, you know.  childcare.  

It is quite the booming metropolis, so you will have a blast.

If you want any recommendations on places to eat, let me know!

I need more friends. The pool is small and it's hard to find people to do things with at the last minute. This is mostly a selfish whine on my part.

I'm sick, but here I am at work and it is freezing. Ah, another whine.

[snickers]

Today is my last day of vacay, and I have to go and see my OBGYN. I am nervous because I have had such bad back pain that I am hoping she will do something for me, but what me nervous is leaving there without any help at all. I have not slept for more than 2 hours a night in a few weeks, which cannot be good for me. I feels like bones are grinding in my back If she doesn't do anything today, then I am afraid for the next month I have to wait to see her, ugh.

[BieberMyBalls]

I'm in love with Phillip Phillips. He's adorable.

My Mom has one more day of chemo left after today, and 2-ish more weeks of radiation and then she gets to come home for good They ring a bell in the chemo suite, and celebrate on your last day, so my sister and I are going to surprise her and show up on Tuesday when she's done. I'm on my way to bring her home for the weekend, I'm really excited to see her.

I feel your pain, I got all ready to go yesterday and H was like "all of the lakes are closed" and I cried a little, then took a cold bath lol.

My office is going to be dead today. If my office manager isn't here, I'm going for lunch...and not coming back.

[meggers5]

I had to walk to work and it's so humid. I changed into my work clothes and between my underwear lines, tucked in shirt lines and cellulite, I look terrible.

I had a phone interview for a new job last night and did their skills tests last night. Fingers crossed. It would pay more, have benefits, a pension, and I wouldn't have to feel like an idiot when my boss spoke to me.

[Jalapeñomel]

I hate it when DH doesn't do things on my schedule. He needs to email a whole slew of people regarding the move, job, etc., and he hasn't done it yet. Why??

[juliagoulia]

I have worked from bed for the past hour but now I need my 2nd screen. I hope I don't wake the kid up

I am starving but am holding off on making breakfast for the same reason.

I want to go back to sleep.

I feel for you. 

I gave birth just in time to miss this crap!

My H never came to bed last night and he's not here this morning. Light is on in his office, car is gone, not responding to phone. :/

[cuddlyevil]

Oh no, Jezebel--is everything all right?

[Deleted]

I have an ultrasound this morning!

We're going to see Despicable Me 2 for work but since I'm missing the morning (literally an hour) when everyone else is in my boss is making me go back to the (empty) office for an hour after the movie since 'we are not to work from home'. womp womp. (wilted) 

[Deleted]

He just got home. He was fucking around with his photography all night. Grr.

[nsl]

I hope your H is all right, Jezebel!

My random is that having the 4th in the middle of the week has totally screwed up my sense of what day it is. Wednesday felt like Friday, yesterday was clearly Saturday, and today I almost started the laundry even though the hampers weren't at all full. It took me a full 5 minutes to remember that it's really not Sunday.

Oh, and H leaves for three weeks of OOT training tomorrow. The boys and I have lots of fun things planned, but part of me is still all NOOOOOO, DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!

[circa1978]

I'm going through some sort of phase where I want to bake weird things into sweets. I really didn't dig the avocado chocolate cake w/avocado icing I made a week or two ago, but I have high hopes for the white bean strawberry pound cake in the oven right now. I blame this on Alton Brown's insanely good tofu chocolate pie.

@jezebel I'm glad he's home so you didn't have to worry too much but I'm making this face on your behalf.

Pissed doesn't even come close to what I would feelin ths situation.

I tried to post this yesterday but it wouldn't go through. We've been on vacation visiting DHs family and there is a ton of drama surrounding DHs cousins nasty divorce. She has a shit stirrer mom (DHs aunt) so its gotten out of control. I've also received endless unsolicited parenting advice from ILs and SIL which is super fun considering ILs were horrible parents and SIL is nuts but she's a nanny so she knows more than I do apparently. Stop trying to feed my 7 mo old limes from your margaritas, stop smoking around him when I have to give him daily breathing treatments and stop telling me he will be fine. I don't care if they think I'm an uptight bitch, I've had enough. They are getting a pretty big shock from DH standing up for me and putting them in their place so at least that is enjoyable.

Leaving town tomorrow!

[cuddlyevil]

MIL made the "ergh" face when I mentioned I was going to suggest counseling for DH and I. But it's the only way I can see the changes I need him to make sticking for good, right now he's doing okay at being more present but I don't when he could slip back into laziness and his gaming again.

Plus: I've been tanning to get a base for our trip and my psoriasis has basically cleared itself.

Suck: It's the only thing I've found that clears it, but being so fair skinned, there's the higher skin cancer chances. I've had several spots removed in the past few years, so I'm very conscious of it.

You've had spots removed & are "very conscious" of the risks yet you've been laying in a tanning bed. Not the brightest bulb, eh?
