I'm almost done the second book of Fifty Shades of Grey and while I get the mixed reviews and beyond the atrocious writing I don't think it is a bad story, but my brain can't handle anything beyond easy reading. I was never advanced in that department. I'm a numbers type of girl
I fear I may have some form of ADD. My attention span is short and I easily get distracted. I fear that I have no business being in the new position I applied for. It sucks, I need to see my doctor about it but can I even be diagnosed at this age?
We put 16 foot sliders on the back of our house and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the thunderstorm this morning.
Today is one of those days that I got to work and thought, "wow, I really work with a bunch of assholes." The incompetence is mind blowing and why my boss keeps coming up with theses new procedures that our front desk staff can't handle is above and beyond me. My boss is out and so is the front desk staff so I took it upon myself to do that job yesterday and you know what, it ran smoothly. The acting supervisor was pissed I sat there all day but she didn't come in on time so I could really care less that her toes feel stepped on because she was supposed to create a schedule. Get to work on time. My ideas work, I win.
I don't know if this is random or flameful or what, but my MIL just found out she has early stage breast cancer yesterday and will be having a double mastectomy and reconstruction soon. She seems optimistic, which is great. I'm obviously worried about her, and I'm really worried that my semi-abusive FIL is going to be a massive dick about all of this because she has always been the work horse of the family and the healthy one. He has diabetes and lots of residual issues from injuries during his service in Vietnam. He's never been able to hold a job, etc. His whole identity is as the sick one, and I don't think he's going to react well to taking on a caretaker role. Plus, physically, I don't think he can do a lot of it.
Thank God they moved near Dh and his sister a year ago. I think we're all going to be taking shifts with her during recovery. The doctors don't think she'll need chemo, but I'm still so scared for her.
There was a poll on SO and I've dated the second most guys in the past year out of everyone that answered. And I've only been dating for a few months. lol.
Work is stressful. I don't think my new boss likes me. I can't wait for vacation.
I burned my arm on the iron a couple of weeks ago. It's finally healing, but it's going to leave a scar and I'm sad about it. It also itches really bad.
It's supposed to be 106 degrees here today, then 105 tomorrow and 103 Sunday. I have a love/hate relationship with the South in the summer.
My H is driving me crazy right now and I don't really know why. He hasn't done anything wrong. But everything he does or says gets on my last nerve and whenever he speaks, in my head I'm going "omg, please shut up". I feel guilty but I can't help it.
I have been craving a cherry icee for a month now. I was in Target a couple of weeks ago and went to get one only to find out the machine was broken. We went to the movies this past weekend and their icee machine was broken. I am determined to find a working icee machine this weekend.
ETA: my random is that no one likes our girl name. It is a cute name, DH and I are in love with it and it is NORMAL. My mother keeps throwing out these weird names and I'm like, "seriously mom?".

I am the opposite since I am home with Leo and Jack is normally at daycare I have reverted back to having a potty mouth. I mean the baby can't understand me so why not go crazy lol.
I am extremely cranky and hungry today and I am assuming that it is PMS related - if it's not, then I am just a raging beeotch with an insatiable appetite.
My daughter got a credit card in the mail at my house from a jewelry store in Ohio, where she is working for the summer. I opened it because I always open her mail and sort what is junk/what I need to send to her at her summer job. This credit card pisses me off in so many ways because she: 1) is irresponsible w/her money, 2) is a seasonal worker/college student, 3) just agreed with me that adding more credit debt (especially w/no year round job) to her student loans was a horrible idea, and 4) a JEWELRY store? REALLY? What do you NEED at a jewelry store?
I am considering cutting up the credit card in tiny, tiny pieces before I mail it to her in Ohio.
This morning I NEEDED to listen to Snoop D-O-doubleG on the way to work. Gs up, hos down. But I waited until I dropped J off at my parents house, because I'm nutso and even though she can't understand it yet, I don't want her listening to that stuff. lol. Then I rolled down the street like Michael Bolton in Office Space.
You have been so funny lately. Every post you write has me cracking up!
I am trying so hard to be happy, optimistic and realistic.
My supervisor sent me an e-mail today that was all "thanks for doing me a favor. but you still did this wrong. and remember this is still your responsibility." Suck it.
I read the first page of 50 Shades. Uff-da. Not good.
This weekend is my bff's bachelorette party. I'm stoked.
I've been traveling all week for work and while I missed DH and LO it was soo nice to have some adult time. I was with co workers and we had a 3 hour dinner the other night with good food and lots of wine. It was perfect.
I'm taking a vacation day today and all I want to do is lie in bed all day but I seriously need to get up and run. I tried to watch what i ate on my trip but I'm worried I put some pounds back on that I lost. Ugh.
I am so sorry to hear about your MIL, Stellas. I will keep her in my prayers.
My random: I took the list of children's books you all recommended yesterday and went to the library. You guys, the librarian was SO IMPRESSED with how comprehensive the list was. All I could think was my internet friends ROCK.
Another random: Most of the men in my office are leaving early for a work golf tournament and I think I just might leave and go home when they do.

Its because you're adorable.
(gavel)
Wow, thanks!
I'm sorry about your MIL. My ex-ILs were not in good health and it was a little daunting to think about all the care they'd need in the future. You're a good DIL.
We're heading up north today! We'll be there til next Saturday, I'm pretty pumped. Now we just have to get through swimming, gym, get packed, eat lunch and we can head out. We're aiming to leave right after lunch. It should be an interesting morning.
I went out for HH with my girls last night and I just love them so much and feel so lucky that they're my friends. Two of them just ran a marathon, two just hiked an island in the middle of Lake Superior and two just went on fabulous trips to Europe and Peru. I'm so proud of them and I love hearing their stories.
My nook won't charge and it's making me very, very sad. BUT - I got a groupon goods notification for the nook tablet (16GB), refurbished for $169. Maybe the stars are just aligning?
DH and I are leaving the cabin next Saturday and the kids will stay up there with my parents until Monday. We're going to a concert and I get to see The Avett Brothers for the first time and I am SO EXCITED.
Today is one of those days that I got to work and thought, "wow, I really work with a bunch of assholes."
I was coming in here to write this exact phrase! Within 45 minutes of being here I really contemplated just going right back home. Instead I will sit here all day and just be raging mad at half of my department.
The fiance will pick the weirdest times to decide he is "in the mood if you will." 1am, we're both sick and its hot as fuck in our bedroom is apparently time not just for some quickie, but to show me ALLLL the moves. Its a good thing he's cute :-)
I got a coupon for a free drink at Starbucks and got my favorite this morning: extra hot soy latte.
My dad arrives tonight and is staying 'til Monday. I'm so excited. We haven't seen him in almost 9 months, and he's going to be floored at how much DD has changed. I love them together and can't wait for him to get here.
I lost 2 lbs last week, so I'm happy, but I've also gone to bed super hungry every night. I feel fine when I wake up, enough so that I've been running in the morning, so it's making me second guess my hunger cues.
