H didn't tell me until I went in to tell him goodbye that he wanted me to take ds to my mom's house. So I had to wake ds up, drag him out of bed, change his diaper and hightail it out the door. I left him in his jammies and didn't even give him a bottle. Sure would've been nice if H would've told me this BEFORE I was on my way out the door so I could've gotten up earlier and planned my morning a little better.
Then I got to the office and had to sell a permit right away and had no change. I've asked the girl that normally sells them a million times to make sure there is enough change when she knows she is going to be gone. So I had to wait for the bank to open so I could go get change.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to hate all the things today. But at least I remembered to take chicken out of the freezer for dinner tonight.

I have a 2013, too. I had a 2010 and the dealer approached us around Christmas to trade in our old one for a 2013 model because they have such a hard time getting their hands on used ones. Whether that was just a line or not, they gave us a great deal on the upgrade and I LOVE it so much.
JealousE
We will be trading in my 2005 civic and even though there are only 45000miles on it I'm not sure we will get much for it
you definitely should. I traded in a 12 year old Civic with 200k miles on it and got 2k.
I feel like an awkward jerk on here lately. I've been so...hit and miss the last few days. I'm normally not a mean person and I'm normally not a "must comment on everything" kind of person. I feel like my emotions are all over the place and I'm waiting for my stupid period because you know, that's always my luck. And this whole TTC/13 cycles and 2 years of nothing is just weighing on me. Most of the time it doesn't get me down, but now that my periods have evened out to around every 40-45 days, I get...hopeful...when nothing happens by the time CD 45 comes around. But like normal, I've hit CD 52 and had the tiniest amount of spotting yesterday. And now I get to gear up for another month of temping/OPKs and trying to determine if I'm ever freaking ovulating. And why can't this just be easy?
And I feel like I should apologize to everyone for being mean/annoying/socially awkward.
I am irrationally upset at how gimmicky price is right has become. Spring break, Halloween costumes, etc? This show used to be my guilty pleasure when home sick and now I pretty much hate it
I was just eating a peanut butter sandwich and heard a loud crunch, apparently the peanut butter people didn't realize that a peanut shell should not be in the jar. Yuck
I am going to try and do some menu planning and take a grocery list template today, lol. I have physio and the dentist today too, then we might go see Despicable Me tonight
I almost lost Bailey this morning b/c I am an idiot. After I dropped J off, I picked him up to take him to the vet. As I walked to the car, I thought I smelled poop. (As it turns out, I think I ran over some b/c I smelled it when I got out of the car at work too. So all this b/c some asshole didn't pick up his dog's shit out of the road. Anyway.) So I thought maybe B farted and had to poop. I was like "oh, I'll just put him down, front yard is small, I'm between him and the road, we did this all the time at the old house." Well, I didn't take into account the fact that a) he isn't used to the new yard; and b) duh, he can easily just run around the fence to the back, where there is a steep slope down to the neighborhood entrance and then a fairly well-traveled road.
Of course, he heads around back and is running along the top of the incline with me chasing him and calling him, trying to coax him back. But he keeps going. I can hear cars and, from further down the road, a freaking train. I kept calling, and he kept getting further and further away. I finally took off my shoes and was able to run up on him quietly while he was gazing off toward the road and grab him. Whew. Ugh, I could die. All I could think about was my little Bailey running away and me never finding him, or worse yet, him being hit by a car or train. I am still shaken up over it. Jesus, I am a dumbass.
I´m so sorry this happened...it´s terrifying.
Unsolicited advice: if this ever happens again (which I hope it doesn´t because I know how scared you must have been), try not to chase him. Go get food as quick as possible and scream DINNER (or whatever word you use for food), and he should come running back. Sometimes with rescue dogs the chase thing can be looked at as punishment or a game, and they don´t understand the fury.

Ugh, I know I shouldn't have been chasing him b/c that doesn't work even when he isn't scared (he thinks it's a game). I kept crouching down to see if he would come, but he wouldn't. There was no way I could have gone in and gotten food without him being out of my sight due to the fence, and with him being so small and the trees and the road, I didn't feel comfortable doing that. I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to spot him when I got back. I opened the back gate when we got to it to see if he would run into the back yard, but he just kept heading the other way. I was thinking about how just a couple of minutes before I'd been singing to him and kissing his ears and tapping his nose and then he could just be gone, like that.
Do you have a little storage area outside at all? Perhaps put some of his food in a plastic container and keep it out there; just in case. Provided it's dry food. If it's wet food, keep a can of it out there; unopened. And if he were to ever run off again, pop the tab and call him for dinner. That way it's right there, you don't have to go inside, and you can still keep an eye on him.
I do hope you never need it though. And I'm glad you got him back.
K was up early this morning and as a result she started to fall asleep at the table after lunch. She didn't even finish her apple slices which means she was pretty tired. She's so cute.

And really it is so easy to say when you aren´t in the situation, KWIM? My instinct is to go screaming after the dog, flailing my arms like a maniac to make sure no one hits her or she doesn´t get to far, which in turn, just makes her run faster and further away, because she´s terrified when I get her that I will beat her or starve her or whatever. I´ve chased Stray a couple of times, and it´s fucking terrifying, and I feel so bad for her, because she is certain that this is the time that I won´t let her come back home or whatever.
I deleated my H's stepsister from Facebook after she was rude and childish towards him. She sent me a message on Facebook this morning that just said "?". I'm trying to figure out how to reply without causing family drama.
I mowed the lawn this morning before going to work. H wants to pay the neighbor kids to mow, but they mow over my damn flowers! Get off my lawn, you whippersnappers!
I only got 3 hours sleep, and will likely want/need a nap before I get off work at midnight.
WWMLD? We have a wedding in CanCun next March. A will have just turned 1. Would you go and leave your kid for a weekend? I'm having a hard time deciding what to do bc right now I'm not ready to leave her...but will I feel fine with it then?? H is on the wedding. So he is going either way. Or, would you bring a baby?
I'd go without the baby. It's a short time, and the time away will be good for you and your H. I think you've got family watching her now, or is that someone else? As long as you've got someone she's familiar with to leave her with for the weekend, go for it.

There's no way to reply without causing drama. If you were looking to avoid drama, you should have just blocked her from viewing your stuff or whatever. Ignore the message.

Ds is 8 months and I'd go for a weekend. He'd stay with my parents (whom I trust completely) and I wouldn't regret it one bit.
