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.
What do you want to go back to school for? Sometimes you can take the same course via distance from a recognized university or college out west for a lot cheaper!
I have at least two canker sores and one fluid filled blister inside my mouth. It hurts so much and makes my ears and throat hurt too. It hurts to even swallow water and talk and I can't open my mouth very much. this sucks.
Ohhh man I hate when I get canker sores, but are you sure that is all that is going on? I have never had a fluid filled blister in my mouth before, have you seen a doctor? I hope it heals soon! ETA: There is also a product you can buy called Canker X which helps heal canker sores faster, and kinda numbs them in the process. It tastes like black licorice but it's not that bad and it works!
My sister told me yesterday that my douchebag bil yelled at my 8 year old CHILD for not watching HIS 15 month old child after his child fell down a couple of stairs because she was following my sister who was going to get my other neice that was crying because BIL said "Are you going to go get your daughter?" to her. Did you follow that? Apparently my sister told him not to yell at dd because it wasn't her fault and he acknowledged to my sister that he was wrong, but didn't apologize to my kid. I'm trying to decide if I should say something to him next time I see him or not....who knows when that will be. I hate my bil. He is an asshole to my sister and is a shitty dad. And it's getting harder and harder for me to hold my tongue around him, but I don't want to cause family drama.
That is truly shitty
If it were me, I'd tell my BIL directly that he needs to apologize. Rock the damn boat on this one, family drama be damned. If you're messing with my kid be prepared to meet my wrath
I was pretty pissed when my sister told me. And I told her she was lucky neither H or I were there to hear it or one of us probably would've punched bil in the face. I just don't see bil that often so I'm not sure how much time in between the incident and when I see him is kosher to bring it back up.
In three months I've lost 8 pounds. I haven't done anything major except I'm playing more soccer, going to hot yoga 1x week and stopped drinking alcohol every night.
If anyone remembers my post about me thinking it's a sign that I shouldn't have a 2nd kid, I present this. (Which, thanks to being on ADs I'm finding it humorous, ok.) We were going to do our first IUI this month, all I had to do is call the dr on the day I got my period. 5 days before that happened, our furnace broke down resulting in a $5k replacement (furnace and AC), there goes the money we were setting aside to do the IUI. tada! So instead we are trying harder this month on our own.
The income post actually made me feel better about my income. It's nice to know that there is a broad spectrum of raises given...it was a bit self-centered for me for a while to think I was the only one who was getting barely anything. 1.5% raise. So thank you. But I'm still going to try harder to find something better.
M has slept in these last few days and I figured out the magic trick, a fan. I think it drowns out the birds in the morning. So, one + for our furnace/ac being broken.

Moving sucks a big hairy fat one. My house is a mess. We have no internet. The bunnies are upset. One of them is thumping at nothing as I type. It'll get better as we get settled, but right now it's just stressing me out.
I have a final tomorrow and a presentation and a proctored practice NCLEX test thing. Too much in one day, but at least I will be done with the class part of Public Health. It was an awful class. The clinical has been going well though.
I'm really, really looking forward to the fish tacos I'm getting before work today. Like, planning extra time between busses just to be able to sit down and enjoy them.
I'm super tired even though I had a good nights sleep last night. Ugh.

I have a tendency to chew the insides of my mouth without realizing it, which is probably where the blister came from, although I've never had one before. Seriously, it's the size of a dime. The fluid is out now and hasn't returned so hopefully it's healing. I don't think there's anything else going on, the sores are just in places that make it hard to swallow. One is under my tongue and the other is back near my back teeth. It's bad back there so there might be more than one, I can't see it very well.
I have something I've been putting on to numb but I might try to find that stuff. I used to use something similar but don't have any on hand. Thanks!
Both of my boys names are near the top of buzzfeed's eccentric baby names list. I have mixed feelings about this.
I think I saw this list. In what world are Charlotte and James eccentric? I wouldn't put any stock in it at all.
Yeah it was bogus. I think they got the list from the most-searched names on a baby name website, then mislabeled them "eccentric." I'm just concerned when I see their names at the top of ANY list, even dumb ones.

((hugs)) squirrelly, I think we should nominate you for sainthood.
I have a random fwp. I wish we had never bought our house. we have put so much money into renovations and we are only 20 percent done. We haven't even done expensive things like kitchen or bathrooms yet. Also, I know our roof is coming up in a couple years and the neighborhood only allows tile or cedar shake shop that is going to hurt so bad. WTF were we thinking. I wish we would have bought a house half the size and downsized. Regretting the money pit situation we put ourselves in so so much.
I finally picked up the tile for my master bathroom! I can't wait!! This has been an ongoing project forever!! Too bad dh is super busy this week and I have to wait for him to finish the cement board. Bil is getting married next week and they are super pissed we aren't going. No one else in his family is going because of the cost, but they are only mad at me because we arent going gor the same reason. They changed it from their home state, many people already had travel arrangements and reservations made, to Vegas with like 6 weeks notice.
My weight was screwed for the official diet bet weigh in. I took my pictures, submitted them, ate breakfast, drank a ton of water and got notice that my first picture , mirror pic, was rejected ( I wasn't on the scale) I took another one, but my pic of my weight on the scale, the picture was gone so I had to re-weigh myself of course it was more than originally. Should I care? Lol!
Thank you, everyone. DH went down there yesterday because his mom was panicked. Things just seem to be getting worse. I'm trying to keep my mind off of it.

One of our cats, Madame Curie, had radioactive iodine therapy for her hypothyroidism last week. We are only allowed one hour of contact per day with her for the next week and a half since she is still emitting low levels of radioactivity. She is a huge cuddlebug and it is breaking my heart that I have to keep taking her off of my lap. How could you not want to cuddle with this face all day?!?!?

With a name like Madame Curie, what did you expect?!
No, but really, sad animals make me sad. I'm sorry for Mme. Curie

Right? All of our animals are named after scientists, so we gave her that name when we got her. I was very entertained when my primary vet suggested the iodine treatment. Why, yes, I would like my cat named Madame Curie to be radioactive. Who wouldn't? *insert nerdy giggle here* The vet and technicians at the specialty clinic got a kick out of it, too. The vet said he was surprised she hadn't done the treatment herself at home.
