- I have a girl (not trainwreck girl) on my fb complaining about another fb friend who dared to make a status about her miscarriage. And the complaint is all "wtf?! Gross! Lol!"..... about someone's miscarriage. I'm trying not to bitch her out, but its getting harder the more I think about it. This woman has a child, FFS!
- I'm off Thursday and Friday, and I'm thinking about sending Ollie to daycare on Thursday to get some necessary shit done, but feeling guilty about it.
- I have a girl date with one of H's coworkers wives tomorrow night. They're new to the area and she asked me out! I'm excited for a new friend, but I haven't hung out with someone new one on one in a really long time. Do I come with topics for convo already in mind?

meganew, I'd just go with the flow, other than perhaps asking her about what she thinks about the area, where she's come from, what she's excited about...things will flow. And the first FB girl sounds awful. I hope she never has to experience a miscarriage because it's very sad and not 'eww' - she also may not know who else who sees her post has had a miscarriage and may get hurt by that (I'm the sort of person who would discreetly post that to her).
Call that FB girl out! I can't believe she would say that. Was it her own status or did she comment this?
It was her own status. Like, "I can't believe the shit some people talk about on Facebook! I don't wanna hear about your miscarriage or you whooping someone's ass! About the baby- who would make that shit public knowledge???"
Um. I'm assuming one of your fb friends would make it public knowledge, which means they could see this. How incredibly insensitive. And the Lols and ews came in the comments.
Did it. Called her out. Told her that judging someone for how they dealt with a loss is wrong (I was going to say douchey, but censored myself). I was going to roll my eyes and defriend until I remembered that one of our mutual friends lost a pregnancy in the spring and posted about it. She's lovely and I would hate for her to read this, think it's about her, and see that no one said anything.
I'm really sad this morning. I can't get the fact that X filed for divorce behind my back out of my head. There is this nagging suspicion that there is someone else bothering me.
Forrest should get out today. I thought the doctor was insane when he said Forrest could get out as soon as two weeks after such a major surgery, he was pretty damn close at 16 days. I also can't believe he's able to walk for 15 minutes straight already.

I'm up before the Golden Girls are on. Horseshit. Nancy Grace is on GMA and annoying me. I should get a shower now so I don't miss the GGs.
I'm so scared about Lucy waking up for school starting next week. My little sleepy bear.
I hate taking steroids for my stupid assma flare up but they do make me breathe better. Oh the constipation, dudes. Sorry. Tmi. But I've lost my censor bc I also wake up 1000 times a night.
My sister agreed to go to tap with me. Yessss. We are so Blanche and Dorothy. I just hope I don't need surgery. Which, y'all know me... Clomp, swish. Clomp, swish
I'm going to run for office. I would make school start at 9. Also all non-classified federal and state employees telecommute, incentives for private companies to implement flex schedules and telecommuting. Then maybe everyone can get to work instead of SITTING on the highway. I haaaaate DC area traffic. I took a back road through a neighborhood and THAT is backed up. Incentives for SAH parents too. I'm taking everyone off the roads!
I'm watching one of my boys on the monitor as he settles in for his nap and he is in the middle of his crib doing what looks like a downward dog pose. Weirdo.

I'm toying with the idea of offering credit in my classes for using like a professor P approved hash tag on fb, Instagram and the like. Especially my art appreciation class, because the whole point is that it's a class for non-art majors to be exposed and made aware of the visual studies.
But I'm afraid they'll think im lame. Trying too hard. You know.
Good for you for saying something, meganew. People are revolting sometimes.
I'm trying not to be annoyed with H, because I understand accidents happen, but we got to his work van this morning and it wouldn't start, so I had to wait while he tried to jump it, and then he locked his keys in the van. So I had to take him to his office to get the spare keys, take him back to the van, jump it AGAIN, and then sit in horrendous traffic for a half hour when my usual commute is only ten minutes. I stayed an extra half hour yesterday, so I can leave at 4 instead of 4:30 today, but I was really hoping to leave at 3:15 instead. Basically my entire morning got screwed up, and now I'm cranky.
My dad got in a "fight" on fb with my 16yr old pregnant niece's friend. It was... shameful. I understand that he's upset over the situation - we all are. But... other 16yr olds are going to tell her its ok and generally act like its not that big of a deal.
I should be in the running for best DIL ever. After work I helped out MIL at the store getting her books straight until 10pm. She thinks I'm doing it to be nice (I will get compensated in free jewelry!), but I'm doing it for experience consulting with a small business.
I'm sitting on the couch nursing and my sweet baby is falling asleep on me. My coffee cup is on the other side of the coffee table. I don't wanna move.
I went to Whole Foods yesterday and stocked up on healthy snacks and food and yet I ate tons of junk yesterday. I need to change my habits but a) I have no will power and b) crave sweets in the evenings. A whole day of good eating and then I have hundreds of extra calories in ice cream at 9:30pm.

Uhh
Noooo, that isn't lame at all! That would be a really cool way to get involved in a class. Is it for outside the classroom art appreciation? I would take a class like that, especially if that was a way to get credit or extra credit.
Jax's cast is off and the first thing I did last night was take him swimming. It's like he is a whole new kid, he had confidence in the water he has never had before. Swimming into the deep end by himself with the puddle jumper, jumping off, ect. It was strange but fun to watch.
My allergy coughing at night has started and it's such a pain in the ass. I closed all of our windows and got out our air purifiers and humidifier this morning and switched out all of the filters.
I had a dream last night that I gave birth to twins, while Alex was 6 months old. And I was freaking out. And they sent me home before the babies and I needed to breast feed and was so upset about it all. And then was concerned about getting all new baby gear for 3 babies.
And then when I went to see them they were kittens.
