Sunday afternoon random post

[315bride]

I am supposed to be working right now, grading papers. It's too nice out, though, to be concentrating on my students' work.

I also am stressing out over a fight I had with my sister in April. She and I haven't spoken in over a month. I am pretty stressed over it because she said some really hurtful things to me.

I think I'm going to go for a walk, maybe buy some herbs for my kitchen windowsill herb garden, and see if that helps.

My mom is racist. I don't know that calling her out on it will accomplish anything other than a strained relationship.

I deleted my facebook last night. I feel like the purpose of it is so everyone can prove to everyone else that their lives are awesome.

cuadrado, I agree. But haven't gone so far as to delete mine.

Please see my post regarding the sewing machine and knitting needles.

I am perplexed.

I read that! WTF? Do you think she meant it in a nice way or a malicious way?

I'm working on my take-home final, but really wish I could be outside because it is GORGEOUS today. I think I'll go for a run later to both enjoy the weather and clear my head.

And then I need to start studying for my other final, but I really really don't want to.

You never know with her. She has a history of getting me questionable gifts.

I am working at the office. Would much prefer to be outside, although it's amazing how much more I get done when it's quiet and interruption-free....

@-related: my due date from my first loss is next Sunday and I'm really having a tough time with Mother's Day today. I'm so thankful for this baby, but I still wonder what things would be like in an alternate universe, you know?

Hugs Brie. Everything happens for a reason and this baby will be lucky to have you.

I don't want to go to my parents toonight for mother's day. Last time I was over there my dad totally overracted to a spilled drink, made a scene hauling the shop vac up stairs, saying nasty things to my mom, etc. I spent the next week having flashbacks of my ex's abuse which started with that kind of stuff and lead to him trying to kill me.


I haven't said three words to my father since.

I also know he is having my mom cook and clean and host dinner so he can be a good son hosting my grandma (his mother) on mother's day. My mom will be exhausted and stressed. I'm not sure I can refuse to speak to him in his house. I know trying to talk to him will not yield a positive result.

Thanks, amoosed.

I feel like a rock star today, though. I've done five loads of laundry (and hung them up/folded them), made and refrigerated a giant baked ziti for dinner this week, cleaned the kitchen, and I'm currently making cake balls, mostly because I was craving yellow cake batter. And I'm about to go steam mop.

As my dad is getting older, he's becoming very odd. Some of the things he does make me His behavior has gotten plain awkward and he's very rude at times. He's been going downhill for some time now and it's pretty concerning.

I just wrapped up my semester and I'm completely off until fall. It's been a VERY long time since I was in undergrad and most of grad school I was actually working full time so it's a very weird feeling to have nothing to do for several months.

And I can't get a job because I'm home with DS right now and I wouldn't get paid enough doing anything part time to cover his sitter.

I should be super excited about this summer (and really I am), but I'm anxious too. What do people do when they actually have free time?!

I should be working but I'm not. I've been really depressed lately and this is the first weekend where I don't feel like crying all day long. It's weird.

I'm sorry you've been feeling depressed lately.

I downloaded my episode of SYTTD on Amazon Instant Video, and I can't quit watching it. LOL

@-MIL is driving me insane. I've had complete strangers ask me about what is going on in my uterus, (and personal medical issues-like the fact that my placenta is too close to my cervix) because apparently MIL is a bigger gossip than we realized. We're team green, but she has told people that we know what we're having and are keeping it a secret from her. I can't imagine what she'll be like when we actually have the baby.
