I knew I shouldn't have read that Income post, but I did and now I feel like a loser. I'm going to have to sell a kidney to afford to go back to school.
I'm overwhelmed and exhausted with SDs here and momming for three kids. I made plans for dinner with my 2 besties on Saturday. One of them is driving so I can drink. I can't wait. But I think tonight I'll be lame and skip happy hour so I can go to bed at 8:00. I'm tired.
Also my laundry was on the couch when I cooked dinner last night so my clothes smell like food. I hate this and normally I am super insane about getting clothes upstairs so this doesn't happen but today I smell like crab cakes, roasted potatoes and squash.
My kids woke me up at 4:00 this morning. DD had a bad dream and was convinced she couldn't go back to sleep, DS wouldn't stop talking about robots. DH slept through it all. I couldn't fall back asleep so now I'm dead tired on top of my stupid head cold. I'm ready to jab a pen in my eye and call it a day.
Addy has 3 month pictures today and I am excited but apprehensive about what to put her in so I am bringing 5 different outfits and letting photographer pick.
We had an ac management box put on this year prompted by a letter from our power company. Since we really didn't follow up the letter by looking online at the FAQs, we didn't realize the whole point was they would control our ac on the 12 hottest days of the year during "peak" times of 4:30 to 7:30. We thought our AC had broke as it got up to 82 degrees in our house! So now we have to decide if we get it removed or wait until fall so we at least get our 50 dollar bill credit.
I listened to good music all the way to work and it put me in a great mood. Then I got here and someone finished my coffee creamer and I forgot I have a student observing me today, and the good mood is gone.
They are just bugs, but they have pincers and they can pinch you! I have never actually been pinched by one, but people say it hurts. They just look gross! Ick!
I posted yesterday that we found out my stepdad has skin cancer and I cannot stop freaking out. We will know a little more on Friday but it is not looking too good right now. I am really sad and worried about my mom and how she will handle everything.
I woke up with the worst cramps ever this morning. Okay, not the worst ever, but definitely the worst they've been in years.
I was really hoping to get one of the "invitations" to buy Mumford & Sons concert tickets. They started sending them out on Monday and no dice. Sad face.

I think I'm getting rid of my BMW. With my new job I barely drive and I really can't justify the amount of money in maintenance that thing costs. When I had my hour worth of commuting I didn't mind because I loved it. I'm looking at used accords & civics. I long for the days when you could just buy replacement ($15) wiper blades instead of ($80) wiper assemblies and new brakes also didn't mean new sensors + a trip to the dealership to have them clear the stupid indicator code. <3 honda <3. Lol.
I am so sick. I have a horrible cough, haven't gotten any sleep in days and have thrown up every single thing that I have eaten since Saturday. And if one person makes a joke about me being pregnant, I will kill.them.dead!
I'm so upset at my dd's behavior at my GMIL birthday dinner last night. She was so disrespectful to my BIL and MIL. She was fighting with my nephew and stomping around, pouting and just generally very unpleasant. I know part of it is that she hasn't been napping and she really still needs naps, but it's really unacceptable. Even my SIL said "Man, she's a sassypants". Ugh, how embarrassing.
Unrelated, but we are taking her to an allergist today to see if she's still allergic to peanuts. I'm so nervous but thankfully dh is coming with us.
After almost everything came out with DH on Monday I slept so well, the first time in a week. I can still cry at the drop of a hat but I think I am getting used to the idea of him not being around anymore. If he gets the new job he'll be around even less because he'll be working weirder hours so it will be good for all of us. Now I just have to start saving up $$$.
Hart had a rough night last night - it was just a comedy of errors, really. He's been sleeping in one of the tw twin beds in the guest room (he's sleeping there until we get a chance to rearrange his room with a big kid bed)
We've been putting him in an overnight pull-up as part of potty training. And last night he totally filled it up and started freaking out around 3:30. No leaks, but he was all upset about it and insisted that the sheets were dirty (they weren't), so I changed him, moved him to the other twin bed.
Well, moving beds threw him for a loop and around 4:30 he rolled out of the bed. Boo boo bags and juice were needed in addition to some snuggling. But he didn't fight going back to the original bed.
Thankfully, my stepmom picked him up this morning for a grandparents' day, so I was able to let him sleep in rather than forcing him out the door to get to daycare.
Both of us needed some coffee this morning.
And, where was H in all of this? Dead to the world, asleep on his good ear, so he never heard a thing. bastard
I watched some fried food show on the travel channel the other day and they were talking about some double bacon corn dog at the Iowa State Fair. I am now considering driving an hour and a half to the stupid fair so I can try that deliciousness.
I think we finally turned the corner with potty training. LO now prefers to wear her big girl underwear instead of pull ups.
I am not looking forward to August because it will be an expensive month between DD#1 taking a ballet intensive and DH and I going away for a weekend for a wedding. Plus, the back to school shopping. NOT looking forward to that.
