I think the baby will be ok if you treat yourself to a 2nd cup today. That's a horrible night, Cville. I'm sorry. At least treat yourself to some ice cream or something.
good idea. i know that getting up multiple times in the night is going to be my new normal come october, but damn it all if a baby is easier to handle than a roach.
and lilafowler, it was funny in retrospect. i BEAT that roach with a broom. it was rather barbaric.
I'm so excited!!!! lilafowler is staying with me all weekend (yeahhhhh!!!!) and we're kicking off the festivities with kessieblue and @missusbee tonight. Drinks and snacks at my place followed by dinner at a lovely little waterfront restaurant. Yay, Friday!
I'm sorry you're tired, cville, but on the plus side you just cracked my ass up. Soapy water, people. The eco-friendly cockroach killer!
I rejoined Weight Watchers yesterday after finally getting on the scale and realizing I still need help with this. Weight loss sucks, and I'm so over it, but being morbidly obese was harder, so I don't want to backslide after losing so much. My h gave me a good pep talk, though, and I am feeling a little revitalized and empowered that I can do this.

L did really well getting night trained a few weeks ago. But for the past 4-5 nights she's peed and not woken up. H told me that she's wet again this am, and again she didn't wake up. I'm thinking I should go back to a pull up, right?
H has this habit of sitting on the bed to put on his socks and shoes.Normally I'm out of bed so I don't care but today is my Furlough Friday so I could have slept in. It felt like a mini earthquake and woke me up and I'm so annoyed.
I should find out today if my request to work from home a few hours a week as needed was denied. I have this pit in my stomach that it is and I have no idea what I'm going to do if it is. They are fighting me tooth and nail about this and I just don't understand...I feel sad and a little betrayed.
I haven't worn pants other than leggings (I totally wear leggins as pants. ) in over a month. It's fantastic.

I once remarked to my H a long time ago that I thought buying flowers was stupid because they die so quickly. I told him he should buy me a cactus instead because even I probably couldn't kill that. We have been having a very rough time lately and yesterday when I went to work there was a penis shaped cactus waiting for me. He also sent regular flowers and a candy bouquet for the kids. His card said that he loved me and he was sorry for being an ass and that he remembered me saying cactus were forever. Plus when he saw the penis shaped cactus he immediately knew I would love it. lol I have missed the fun in our marriage.

You should have just smashed it with the top of the broom handle
I am so tired. I can't sleep with a crap in this bed and I may die from exhaustion before I'm out of this apartment. On the plus side, the inspection on our Chicago condo came back with 2 really minor cosmetic things and I am going to leaave shortly to go to the inspection for the house we are hoping to buy here. I am really hoping they don't find anything major, because I love this house.
I think it is going to be a LONG day in the jezebel household. L went to bed screaming and woke up cranky and whiny as shit. I think she's teething, but I wish I knew for sure so I could give her Tylenol if needed.
I'm going to try and take her to the playground or something so she will hopefully have less to whine about. lol. Maybe we'll even go out to lunch and have ice cream or something.
It's our annual camping weekend with H's college buddies. It's always fun, but it's not going to be the same without our friend
My dad made it home from the Philippines yesterday though! So all the worrying about childcare for nothing. I think my friend was kind of disappointed that we didn't need her tonight after all. The kids probably would have more fun with her than my parents!
Along the lines of the first two randoms, I am trying to make a better effort at having my friends get to know my kids. I value time with my girlfriends so much that I usually make adult-only plans with them. But after realizing that I have zero pictures of my friend with my kids, I know I need to do better with that. I'm not gonna like force the kids on them, but maybe just plan more family friendly things to do in addition to our girls' time. I want them to know each other and love each other.
I have my annual ob/gyn appt this morning, wheeeeeeeeeeee.
This is the one day this week that I'm taking off.
H leaves for India one week from today. I'm much more reasonable now that everything is planned. I have a million things planned while he's gone but this is the longest amount of time (13days) we've been apart in 14 years.
I am so over everything. I'm in a really bad mood and I just want to throw my hands in the air and say eff it. I swear, if one more thing goes wrong I'm going to quit trying to hard to be a productive member of society.
We're going to a Journey/Styx concert tonight and the IL's are watching ds. We'd asked that they come to the house to watch him so that we don't have to wake him up to bring him home and my plan was to go pick him up from them like I always do, take him home, feed him his dinner, give him his bath, and have him already in bed by the time we leave. MIL called H last night and asked if they could just bring him home between 8:30 and 9:00 to put him to bed. Um, no. He goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00, not 8:30 and 9:00. And if that happens, I won't see my baby at all today and the thought of not seeing him at all makes me so sad. But I know they are doing us a favor by watching him so I don't really feel like I can tell them no to bringing him home at 8:30 or 9:00. I'm going to stress out about this all day.
Dd woke me up at 4:00 to tell me she couldn't sleep. I got her back in bed, then it took me over an hour to go back to sleep. Then like 20 minutes later the damn dog decided she had to pee so she stood at the side of the bed and whined in my face until H made her get on the bed. I'm tired. There is not enough Mt. Dew in the world to get me through today.
I live in the town that hosts the largest outdoor rodeo. It starts today. I hate tourist. And I work downtown, which is where a lot of the events going on next week happen. It's going to be a mess down here next week. I really need to start going on vacation during this week so I can leave town. On the plus side, I can wear jeans and boots all week!
My favorite uncle that was like a father to me growing up was put on hospice care yesterday. Of course my psycho mom had to cause issues with his wife so now when I go to see him or go to the funeral it's just going to be weird and she will do nothing but complain about how yet "another" family member has wronged her. I swear I wish I had the balls to tell her to stfu so I can morn in piece without her bitching.
I am soo happy it's Friday. I have a wonderful weekend planned and get to go to Vegas next week and actually have some fun instead of spending all my time at the courthouse. I'm excited!!
I have zero motivation to do anything today. I need to find a swimsuit for our beach trip coming up, I need to find new sports bras for exercise, I have cleaning to do around the house, and I should go work out. But it is going to be 96 out today, y'all. With a heat index of possibly 105+ and I really just want to lay down in the A/C.
The in-laws are visiting on Sunday and meeting Roxie for the first time. She is super territorial about new people she hasn't met coming in the house and barks like a fiend, plus they are not dog people, so this should be fun.
I ran 3 days this week and did my No More Trouble Zones DVD 2 days and my knees don't feel great :/ I think I need something lower impact at least once a week. H and I are talking about getting a Treadclimber when we move.

DD embarrassed the shit out of me yesterday. We had to run an errand after I picked her up from camp. We got to the store and both needed to go to the bathroom, so off we went. Well I have the period from hell and have to wear a pad with my tampon b/c it's just that bad. Well the tampon leaked onto the pad. I thought that could be the case, and with her in the stall with me I tried to be very discrete and hide it. I thought she was turned around but she whipped around before I was able to completely hide it and she said, in a crowded bathroom "mommy, your underwear is dirty" I said nope, it's just the color they are and she said "no no mommy, they are brown" OMG I wanted to die. So now all these people think I shit myself.
Tomorrow is my 20th high school reunion. So, we are heading to my hometown and going. I'm bummed. Out of a class of 300+ only about 20 are attending. 20! boo. I'm only going because I'm curious.
Also - she was applying to other jobs from her work email. That was it for me, she had to go.
Do you know this because your company monitors all employee email, or just when you're fixin' to fire?
She sounds lovely, BTW.
I had to get into her email to correct one of the reports she sent. And when I opened it - there it was, a resume and cover letter to apply at our competitor. So. Yeah.
