I'm pretty sure I'm going to ask to leave early today. My whole body hurts from yard work yesterday. Our little yard is still ugly, but it's so much better!
I feel the same way. We took care of all of our landscaping on Saturday and my body hates me. It looks much better though. So does yours, nice work!
I also got sunburned yesterday. I'm such a dumbass for not putting sunscreen on my arms.
My baby is miserable and teething. I felt so bad leaving him at daycare today Also, my car is dead and I need a new one. Finally, to round out the complaining, my boss is quitting and I really like her. It can only get better from here, right?
Thank you! I'm sorry you and DS are having a hard time right now. I hope things start looking up soon!
Our weekend was SO NICE. We didn't have plans with anyone. Last week when H was out of town I went through my Bon Apetit magazines and marked some recipes I wanted to try. We had really fantastic dinners both nights, plus Sunday we went to Palm Springs for brunch. It was such a fun, relaxing weekend. Oh, and in Palm Springs we saw this out-of-business restaurant and had to stop and take a picture. LOL!
H and I had a weekend of overindulgence while we were kidless. Beer and pizza on Friday night. Haircut, then bloodies and wings with friends. Then a beer festival. And then I made him stop for dessert on our way back to the hotel. I ordered a peanut butter pie (all deconstructed and fancy like) and he ordered bruschetta, lol. Breakfast at OHP before the kids came back yesterday.
I'm chaperoning Max's field trip to the zoo tomorrow and I'm nervous.
My last barre class was last night and I'm sad. I hope they have another Sunday night class soon!

There is a barre studio opening up near me and I am so excited to try it.
He also thinks there is going to be a new baby waiting for him there, lol.
Time to start working on that??
This is my last week in my current job, I'm not sure how I feel about that. They're doing a "congrats on the new job" thing on Friday late afternoon, wtf. I wanted to leave early on my last day and I can't now. I also think they're having a baby shower for me, which is really really sweet, but I don't like attention and hopefully it's an easy going thing and not too stressful.
DD lost her first tooth on Friday, she looks so adorable now!
We went house shopping this weekend and I fell in love with a house! Like, I've already rearranged all our furniture and picked paint colors in my head. H apparently thinks he gets an opinion on which house we move to and doesn't like this one
Also this is Jack's last week of K. It is so funny because I am not sure there is much learning going on at this point. No more checking books out that the library, no more literacy books being sent home etc. He has parties scheduled everyday this week. I don't really care, but it is comical to see how everything just really goes to shit this week lol. He will have a ton of fun though.

We went to the open house for J's summer camp yesterday and he had so much fun. They love him at this camp and it's so nice to hear only good things about my child. It was jam packed full of kids and parents and all the Counselors/Life Guards from last year went out of their way to come and welcome him back. They were running up to him and yelling Jacob and giving him high 5's and hugs. It was my moment in the sun. He's also rocking at T-Ball. I'm feeling so hopeful that he will have a better school experience next year.
The building where my office is fired the custodian who I thought was going to chop me into bits and serve me for dinner. Other people had concerns about him too.
I'm reading Nick Flynn's Another Bullshit Night in Suck City.
I wanted to get a lot done this morning, but D is home sick. He threw up this morning which was so weird since he seemed all better the entire day yesterday.
My house is actually pretty clean, guest clean. I am going to work on laundry though. Laundry is never ending.
I am sorry for my outburst the other night. I was feeling really awful.
Saturday went better than I thought it would, I wouldn't have done it without ibuprofen and Vicodin.
Yesterday I was slightly bummed that I wasted my morning sleeping but it ended on a good note with a fantastic meal and laughter with my husband and daughter.
Good thing all I had planned for today was reading. Our other receptionist called in sick today so we are having to cover. I never get anything done on these days so reading is a good option.
The flooding at the cabin wasn't as bad as my sil made it sound when she was desperately trying to get in touch with h on Saturday. I'm sure we won't hear the end of it for not going up to help even though we both offered numerous times and were told they had it under control.
I have a tooth that's killing me, but it's already had a root canal. I'm sure this will be miserable and expensive.
F stops his steroids today. I'm terrified he'll start rejecting.
I had a re-treatment done on a root canal a couple years ago; something wasn't packed all the way to the end of the root and was getting a little infection. My dentist sent me to an endodontist, which sucked, but I've been much happier since it was done. ETA: I just wanted to add that the second root canal itself wasn't bad, just them having to yank my mouth open for so long. I had bruises.

I'm so mad. I can't find my engagement ring and my ex's platinum wedding band. I was ready to sell those things asap, but now I have no idea where they are
On the plus side, today is lawyer day, yay divorce!
I just joined today because I want to discuss life and politics with people who do not seem crazy. I don't think a big "HI!" standalone thread is warranted, so . . . "hi." :-)
I dug out my very old heart rate monitor yesterday and it still works! Today I discovered that it syncs with the treadmills at my gym. The default year when I was setting up the receiver watch was 2002, so I'm shocked on both fronts.
I'm getting my hair done tomorrow. It's the longest it's been in 10+ years right now and I can't wait to get it off my shoulders.
I just got notice that I passed my notary exam. With 100%. You have no idea how excited that makes me. The CA notary exam is the hardest in the country. There's only 30 questions, and you have to get 70%+ to pass. I can't believe I didn't miss anything!

You must have taken a wrong turn.
People who do not seem to be crazy in a way that is scarily different from my own brand of crazy. I've been lurking a while and I feel I've found my people. Well, some of you.
