We watched that new show About A Boy last night and it was really dumb. Like a rom-com shoved into a 30 min show.
It is, About A Boy is a movie with Hugh Grant from 2002, no idea why someone thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a TV show more than ten years later.
H & I had a discussion over the weekend and decided that we're going to wait a few years before (if) we TTC #2. I'm over my baby fever I had a few months ago and really don't know how I would handle, let alone pay for, D plus a baby at this point.
This is exactly where we are, except I'm still in the throes of baby fever. I really need to get over it, because it's probably going to be another 2 years at this point (if ever). I need to get over it or I'm going to drive myself crazy.
Oh, and I signed up for Stitch Fix last night. God knows I don't need to spend any more money, but I'm feeling like I'm in a clothes rut and just want someone else to pick new stuff for me so I don't keep buying the same kind of stuff.
I just googled this. I think I need it. I wonder how expensive the clothes are.

It said the average is around $65, and you can select different budgets (cheap as possible, $50-100, $100-150, $150+) for different types of clothes (accessories, jewelry, tops, bottom, dresses). They style profile is pretty in depth too, so I'm optimistic that I'll get stuff that works. No available delivery dates until the end of March/early April right now though, so it's not instant gratification.
I was driving the kids to DS's baseball practice last night and his baseball field is in the best part of town. It used to be all orange groves, it's right off the river and it is filled with the most gorgeous plantation style homes...old trees... and the weather was amazing.
And we were watching little boys play baseball on the same field I played softball on as a kid. It was one of those moments I was happy I was raising my kids in the same place I grew up. I felt like I was in a country song. Loved it.
We only live about 5 minutes from this area but it is my absolute dream location. We just need about $200k more in our next house buying budget. Sigh. One day....

My DS woke up with diaper rash . I feel so bad for him. Changing his is horrible because he cries/screams. If anyone has any tips for diaper rash I will gladly take them.
I am glad I got all if our errands done early in the week so that we can have a lazy pj day.
I cried when I took my DS (Ham) for his hair cut yesterday. He looks like a little boy now.
My H (the idiot who ran the stop sign a couple of months ago), just called and they let him off with just paying court fees for running the stop sign. He had +5 points on his driving record and the police officer who ticketed him spoke in his defense. Part of me is relieved that it wasn't a huge fine and part of me wished he HAD been fined more. But I think he learned his lesson; he has been so worried over the last couple of days about what the outcome would be.
On a side note, I'm going to CT this weekend and I'm afraid of what I'm going to find at my parents' house after the fire. My sister said my parents are still quite a mess emotionally, so I'm hoping I can help provide a little stability and my DS can help with some comic relief. He's a little ham and knows how to play a crowd.
@trickybob - lol at your cat. Yes, they are assholes for sure. Mine always follows me up the stairs and swats at my feet.
I made juice with the NutriBullet I bought at Costco, and it was really easy and very good. Who knew that spinach, pear, banana and pineapple was so yummy?
We are listing our house for sale on Monday and I am freaking the fuck out. The kids are confused about moving and keep asking if we are taking their toys to the new house (which we haven't found yet). It is sad and funny at the same time.
M has entered the princess phase, which is weird because we don't have anything princessy in our house - she has requested Rapunzel, Princess Elsa, Sofia the First and Cinderella for her birthday...and a Cinderella dress. I'm fine with it, but it is so weird hearing her talk about them all of a sudden.

My DH was pulled over the other day for going 70 in a 40, and got off with a verbal warning. He was right near his office and was let go because of where he works. I was like WTF. I'm super happy we don't have the $480 ticket, but jesus he was going fast. Then there was me who a few months ago got a $150 ticket for going 10 over on the highway.
I was going to bed last night and saw a lizard on the floor of my living room. I thought it was one of the kids toys it moved and I jumped and screamed. Both boys ran out of their room to see what was wrong. DS2 was all "oh, I'll catch it for you mommy, just get me a bag". I gave him a brown paper lunch bag and he grabbed it by the tail, dropped it in the bag, and them released it outside. He is my hero right now. I think saving mommy made his night.
Every damn work day the dog thinks he is going on a walk. And then his entire world is crushed when he realizes he is actually going to work with me. The hysterics and crying in the car on the way there are so dramatic. And then I realize I feel the same way he does.

We're supposed to get some torrential downpour between tonight and saturday. I'm happy.
I'll probably DD this part in a while...
A very good friend of mine is getting married Friday night and I'm really emotional about it. This is her 2nd marriage because her 1st H was a massive douchebag and cheated on her. January of 2011 she left him and moved in with a lady from church who'd been recently widowed. July of the same year, I moved in with them because I'd broken up with my ex and things with my family were bad.
We all became such good friends and had great times together; we were a little family of misfits. Then in February of 2012 I up and left them with little warning to get back with my ex. They were heartbroken because they KNEW it was a bad decision but I thought I could finally be happy with him and I was lonely. I didn't speak to them hardly at all until October when I finally left J and moved back into the same town as them.
It hurts my heart so much to know that I was selfish and cruel in my actions and that they were hurt because of them. Yet they welcomed me back with nothing but love and happiness. I missed out on so much during those 2 years I was with my ex, and I was so miserable most of the time when I could have stayed there and been happy. I miss all the little things we shared when we lived together.
But I'm so very happy for her. She is such a good and kind person and she deserves this happiness.

I totally forgot I have my annual review today, which I am so not looking forward to. It's with a new boss who was only here for 3 months in 2013 and I don't believe will be able to give me a true review. With my old boss my reviews would be super quick, which is what I liked. I know this guy is going to want to talk about evvvverything.
@fucksticklegit, you are such a good person. I am sure that she values your friendship so much that the past doesn't matter. Have you apologized to her? Sometimes a heart felt letter or note stating how much you love her as a friend is enough.

Oh yes. I actually wrote her and the widow from church an email in October before I moved back into town apologizing to them, saying how deeply I regret the terms on which I left, and how sad I was that I'd missed out on so much. We've all talked several times since then, and like I said they've been nothing but kind and loving. I see them all the time and I'm going to the wedding.
There's just still so much regret and guilt I'm working through in my own heart.

I hear you. Fucking guilt is a killer man. Big hugs, keep working through it.
