I live in a 3rd floor apartment and I'm tired of hauling grocery bags up the stairs. H and I have started pushing grocery shopping back to every 3 weeks, but that means we buy more food and there's more to haul up the stairs. I love the apartment and the management, but we need to buy a house. H has less than 2 years left of grad school, so hopefully we can start looking soon. We just need to get an idea of where in the U.S. he'll be relocated to for a job.
Jaylea, Good luck! I've been following your story& you deserve a better situation!
Textbook, I hope the a/c is fixed soon!
My random is that that my mom and I had huge fight the other day. I'm supposed to spend the weekend with her and now I don't want to because she is completely unhinged, but if I cancel, it will only exacerbate the crazy.
LHC, you'll lose that weight in no time at all. I'll bet it falls off as soon as you're back to your regular workout routine.
My random is I cried during a GMA segment about "real moms" and their bodies. I've never felt such self loathing as I do now, in terms of how I look, and it really just struck a nerve.
Then I laughed because right after saying we should ignore celebrities for their pp bodies, GMA did a segment on celebrity fashion. Awesome timing, guys!!
lots of people have lots of good things going on in here (and stellas, i'm very sorry about your mil. i hope your fil gets it right), but honestly i am the MOST excited for jaylea. kick ASS in your interview and get the hell out!
In the FFFC on my BMB today one woman said her baby was upset so she held her on the 10 minute drive home and another woman responded with "no flames here, I would have done the same!". Another woman posted that she thinks activism, especially protesting and strikes, are stupid, a waste of time, and for lazy people. I wonder how she thinks change comes about. I really need to stop going to that board.
I am having an awful week. I hit a pole with my 2 month old car two days ago and scratched the bumper. When I was outside scrubbing it after we got the girls down a car of 4 guys drove by, stuck their heads out the window, yelled "moo!!!" and were laughing hysterically. I was the only one out there, so yeah... That same day when I got to my mom's she told me that I had a huge tear in my pants where they must have snagged on something so who knows how long I was flashing coworkers for. Yesterday I was up until midnight doing work because my coworkers are lazy and I have to pick up the slack. Today one coworker was yelling at me as soon as I walked in (she and I have issues, she's cursed me out before) and I just got off the phone with a customer who was yelling at me when the reality is he's a moron and is the one who screwed up.
But I'm going to see Magic Mike tonight And then I'm having a beer. Or 5.
And ditto on the other good lucks/congrats/and sorry to hears. There were too many in this thread to list them all!
I have to kinda fire our babysitter we had lined up for the summer and I want to do it via text.
Kinda=she hasn't started yet, she was scheduled to start next week.
Why are you firing her? Please don't do it over text, at least call the girl/woman.
I know, I am not going to do it over text. But I want to, you know the easy way out and all...
One month ago, when I asked if she could babysit during the summer her answer was "yep, absolutely"! Then as the start day got closer, she would text me and say, "Sorry, I can't do this day, this day, this day, etc..."
No problem, I found another solution for those days.
When I asked her (through phone call and voicemail) 10 days ago if X date was a okay as her official start date, I never heard back from her... Part of the message had to do about her not having to start this past Tuesday. I know she got the message since she didn't show up Tuesday.
I don't feel like chasing her down to see if she wants a job.
And I found a permanent babysitter for the remainder of the summer who I like better.

Dh was nice enough to get a kiddie pool on Sunday. For the first time in forever he asked me if there was anything he could. Anyway, he didn't do anything with all week. Just blew that thing up myself. I don't need you H. Don't need you and when I figure out how to do everything myself...
I am so excited for my interview today. It's with two former coworkers and the recruiter who called me for the position... so I am feeling pretty good about it.
I will seriously have a shot of tequila in your honor if you get another job. Fo real.
I wish I overslept by an hour this morning. My kid hasn't slept in days. I've gotten a total of 8 hours' sleep since last Sunday night. I'm so drained I can hardly function.
I love, love, love my Keurig I got for my birthday.
I'm so sleep deprived I feel sick to my stomach, but I'm hungry at the same time.

I am really pissed off b.c. someone asked me to go to a conference with them (you need teams from different disciplines) a few months back. I have had it blocked on my calendar for months, it is highly competitive, we were just accepted, and she cancelled bc she wants to go on vacation instead. So I have been not signing up for the really good conferences I would rather go to because I had promised her and now she bails.
What the eff.
Instead I am going to a conference with a $$ registration fee and only staying half the time. I feel guilty not staying the whole time but our grant expires today and if we don't use the $ we lose it. And I don't want to stay that long. I'm trading off by sharing a hotel room with a friend which won't cost my work anything. So I'm rationalizing that I am saving them $.
Subtitled: why I will have nine bajillion CLEs this time next year and I still won't be able to roll them over. Awesome.
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.
so freaking glad it's Friday
DH was just diagnosed. Common adult symptoms are anxiety, procrastination, forgetfulness. He is so much happier since starting meds, he said it makes things so much easier.

I wish I could get H to admit that he should be medicated. That is 100% him.

This has been a long time coming, but DH had to do it in his own time. He is so much happier and I know now how hard it must have been for him to just get everything done every day which makes me sad. I told him to let me know if I could ever make him an appointment and he did. That's the other common symptom, procrastinating stuff like med appointments.

Oh, you mean like how H is supposed to go to the dentist every 4 months, but has only managed to go twice in the last 2 years??
Or like how he's supposed to submit a time card every month for a side job he does, but he just submitted the first one for this year last week and only did so after I told him he wasn't allowed to turn on the TV until it was sent? (He filled out the form and left it sitting on the desktop for WEEKS. All he had to do was send the email.)
Or how he can remember when every single Arsenal game is on TV, but can't seem to remember that we have dinner with my family scheduled, even when I remind him every day for a week?
UGH. I'm tired of having to remember everything for both of us. Can you tell?
