MONDAY RANDOMS/RANTS

[chedominique]

-Saw The Amazing Spider-man on Friday and looooved it! It's completely different from the other one but it was great.

-Did a DIY craft on Pinterest. It wasn't too bad but I will be sewing my next item.

-Someone almost hit my car on the way to work. Seriously, I'm tired of these sucky drivers here. Do people have a problem seeing white cars or they just don't care?!

[vicky]

1) I am debating straightening my hair today for a meeting at my job. The humidity is supposed to be low.
2) if is straighten my hair, I'm probably going to pay to have it done because I do not want to spend an hour and a half in the bathroom trying to wrangle my curls.
3) I don't know if my stomach is hurting me because I'm nervous about this meeting or because my grandfather passed.
4) I has several sads today.

I just woke up literally choking. We have all of our windows open and a skunk must have dusted something outside. My whole house reeks.

Also thanks to my neighbors for getting into a heated argument at 4:45 am about who was giving their crying baby a bottle. I swear I heard someone shout, "just give the damn baby the bottle".

This is the only part I hate about summer. We all live too close together and have our windows open all the time.

I'm really excited for the naming ceremony on Saturday!! But bummed no one from Jake's family is coming. It's just another example of them putting us at the very bottom of their list. If we were doing a Mormon blessing, I really think they'd all make the effort to be there. Whatevs. Just makes me sad the kids probably won't know them as well as they'll know my family.

[nahoku]

Oh, that's annoying, puddle (re your #2 rant).

- It was reaaaaally hard getting up for work this morning. But I had a lovely 10 days off and it is another short week this week (DH is getting his wisdom teeth out on Thurs and I'll have to take care of him. Fun.)

- I want to be at home watching DVR'd New Girl and Friends reruns and playing with my new nook tablet.

- I read Gone Girl over my vacation and it was really good. I think I finished it in two days, I thought DH might kill me. I borrowed Super Sad True Love Story from the library (ebook) yesterday and I like it so far - hopefully I am out of my reading rut!

- I gained 3.5 pounds over the last 10 days. I didn't track any calories at all, so I guess it could have been worse, but I've got some catching up to do.

[pinkplasticdoll]

-I am gassy and I have no idea what I have eaten to cause this gas, it just appears when I move.

-I start summer session 2 today and I am not looking forward to it. School is becoming a unwelcome chore.

- I am annoyed that my sister is a selfish hosebeast. No I won't come visit you so I can either pack up your house or move your shit that is what your H is for.

[poppyseed]

I woke up with a really sore throat and some congestion this morning and I'm not happy about it.

The ceiling in my office is leaking all over one of the chairs across from my desk and it's making this annoying "thunk" sound everytime water falls on the chair.

H and I went to visit my parents this weekend. They have an awesome garden right now and we came home with three bags full of squash, zuchinni, eggplant, corn, tomatoes, and cucumbers. And a fresh loaf of zuchinni bread. Score!

My shower is this weekend and I'm so excited about it!

[Deleted]

Vicky, I'm sorry for your loss!!!

Plastic -- I don't know how your sister is approaching it or what your relationship is, but I don't think it's a big deal to ask a sibling to help you move. Moving suuucks, anything that makes it easier is very welcome.

[Mrs.Beagle]

-H started a new job today. This means we'll now be getting ready at the same time. I do not like this (the hours, not the new job). I am not pleasant in the mornings.

-I bought a new computer yesterday

-My cats are obsessed with the lazer pointer, and I find it more entertaining than it probably is. They then zonk out in the middle of the floor because they are so tired.

[sneetch]

H worked from home last week, so it was a bummer when he had to get up for his 6 am flight today. Sometimes his traveling for work really sucks.

I skipped my "long" run yesterday (long is 4 miles) because it was so hot and humid, so I have to go after work.

[jaylea]

- I am starting to feel super guilty about possibly leaving this job. Things are going to be really busy, and the other Senior is about to have his 2nd child and thus take time off... it'll be really bad.

- I have been up since 2am. When DS started shrieking in his crib. I went to bed after 11. He then tossed and turned and tried to throw himself out of my bed all night. He went back into his bed at 5am, when I got out of bed. And he promptly went to sleep. As of leaving for work this morning (my mom is with him), he was still asleep. I bet he's tired, the little jerk!

My H clogged up his toilet, so now he's using my bathroom. It's making me irrationally angry.

The only reason I don't want to help is because I don't ever get to enjoy the time with my nieces,my sister or anyone when I visit her. There is always some sort of chore she needs "help" with, this translates to me doing it while she goes off and gets a manicure or swimming. she is 40. I know this kind of help wont be/isn't reciprocated to me so that is part of my problem.

[sneetch]

Jaylea - don't feel guilty! You have to do what's best for you and your family. I hope things work out and you are out of there soon.

[lightbulbsun]

- I did the color run yesterday and it was a blast, but I have a patch of blue under my arm that won't wash off. It kind of looks like a giant bruise.

- I fell asleep on the couch last night at 9:30, and then went to bed and slept until 7. I needed it so bad, and I feel awesome right now.

- I took off last thurs/fri and it's so hard being back at work this morning.

[RobotLegs]

And now H just let out a huge fart in the kitchen. That is a NO FART ZONE. I am so glad it's a work day, he needs to GTFO.

[poppyseed]

Jaylea, every time you feel guilty think about the times you work 12 hour days and then can't even leave to take your kid to the doctor (maybe I have that wrong, but didn't they do that to you?).

[Deleted]

Ah I see. That is annoying!!

[nahoku]

Toledo, if my kids had been in town, I would've brought them to see Laurie, too! It sounded like a fun event. Hope Molly feels better soon.

The "new" button is working again, yay!

[Deleted]

I still haven't gotten my period back. I don't really want it, but I'm afraid when it comes it will be super heavy for a week. Normally for me they are super light and only 2, maybe 3 days.

I had to pack a lunch today because I can't drive for awhile and there was no food in the house since we've been on vacation. I have a broken granola bar, crackers, and a peanut butter sandwich made with the end pieces of the loaf of bread. I'm not feeling it. I really want to order Jimmy John's later instead.

Everyone at work is in a bad mood today and it's a little irritating. However, it's helped me be more productive because I'm hiding in my office with the door closed so I don't have to hear it.

[styme46]

If I'm still pregnant at this time tomorrow, I will be pregnant longer than I ever have been. Here's hoping my water doesn't break at 2:30 in the morning!

Also, we aren't even close to having the room ready for the baby. I bought the bedding this weekend finally but we don't have any of the stuff out of that room and any of the baby stuff put up. We've got roughly 60 days to get it done. I'm stressing out.

[Cayl]

H and I went to a BBQ on Saturday with the girls that friends I haven't seen in a long time threw. It was a lot of fun, and then he went home with the girls and I stayed and played poker until midnight. It was awesome to have a night out like that. We saw Spiderman yesterday and it was really good.

My rant - my sister is a lunatic. She has some actual mental issues and is in the process of trying to find a psychiatrist (or is it psychologist? whoever can prescribe meds) that her insurance covers, and which meds she should be on. She gets angry about random things and it is impossible to have a civil conversation with her about anything even slightly negative. This is a huge problem for me since she and my mom have the girls all week. I wasn't happy about this setup to begin with, but we weren't expecting twins and day care around here is insane (~2300/month for the two of them). We had a huge blowup yesterday and she was screaming at me and said every awful thing she could think of while my parents just sat there and didn't say a word except to placate her when she threatened to take her son and move out (she, BIL, and my nephew live with my parents because they can't afford to have their own place or pay their own bills). My MIL wants to watch the girls but is in the middle of refinancing their house and she needs to show her income. Hopefully that will be finished in the next 2-3 months and we can send the girls to my MIL's. It will really hurt my mom, but I need to do what's best for the girls and I. I am so stressed and upset over this, and if it weren't for my nephew I would happily tell my sister where to stick it and never speak to her again.

they don't feel guilty that you work like a dog and get little to no flexibility.

I know. I just feel bad for my coworker - not the owner. He's the one who will get stuck with the slack when he should be focusing on his new baby... but also not my issue, right?

[janegold]

Rant: I've been up since 3am b/c the woman who lives in the basement locked herself out of her apartment. The guy she was with spent an hour trying to BREAK DOWN HER DOOR (which is right under our bedroom window) and finally smashed a window and crawled in. I'm guessing a locksmith would have been cheaper than replacing a broken window, and would have been more considerate to her neighbors. Also, I don't know why she didn't just go to the guy's place instead. I had to be up at 5 so I couldn't fall back asleep after that fiasco.

[iamali]

I'm just happy that I don't have school for six glorious weeks!

[silva]

-M was a stinker yesterday and it really scared me for things to come. She was all "I know EVERYTHING!" and was talking back, etc.

-Today is her first day of her dance class and so to make up the time of me leaving early to take her to class, I got into work an hour early and I'm cranky! I'm not a morning person.

-DH was asking me over and over if I knew where his work id was, he was convinced it was in my car because he swore he handed it to me over the weekend or whatever. He said he was going to check my car last night...didn't find it. I walk to my car this morning, dug my hand into a side storage compartment and there it was. So, I spent my early morning trying to contact DH over the phone to let him know I found it, but never got him to answer. I ended up meeting him at his work. #annoyed.

-DH got a new smartphone and I'm jealous. It's his first so he doesn't know how to use it at all, hence him not answering the phone this morning.

[jaylea]

Oh. I forgot my big rant.

I need new bras desperately. I have such a hard time finding them, though.

So I went and got measured. She measured me a 36D. The one I was wearing (which fits, but is old) was a 38D.

I tried on every.single.bra in the store in a 36D and 38D. None fit in the cups. They were all mashing my boobs, or it was popping up over the top. The only bra that remotely fit was a 38DD but it was so ugly I couldn't do it.

WTF? Why is this so hard?

[scotty]

This weekend went by SO fast, I am still in disbelief that it's Monday.

[eddy]

I am offended by the size of bra I had to buy this weekend and the size of pants I fit into. I fucking hate this stage of pp. i have this weird teeny front butt still around my incision since it is still swollen. I don't like huge boobs and I go ugh each time I see them. I am not sure why this depresses me. I know it is a slow process. I was eventually happy with my bod after Jack. There is no reason to think I can't be happy this time too. But I am still all waaah over it. I wish I wasn't so vain.

[julez]

- c/w has been making a ton of personal calls at work lately and it's super annoying.

- I took T & F off last week, and it's super hard to be back at work today, esp since DD has a cold and all she wanted to do is snuggle this morning.

- I forgot to defrost chicken for dinner tonight. And we need to buy groceries, so there's not a lot of room for improvisation without the chicken. Gah.

- It's supposed to be hot again this coming weekend, and it makes me want to stab someone. I love where we live, but these hot summers are not what I signed up for when I moved here. For the first time ever, I'm seriously considering moving. North. Like, way, way north. To Canada, near the arctic circle.
