Monday randoms, chit chat

My dress was delivered early and is at the house right now. I am so excited.

Plus my flowers are coming in! Yay!

My kid is teething, I think. She is drooling gallons, and she is so fussy. She is generally a really happy baby, but the fussing is non-stop. and the drool...


We are going to the beach for 7 nights in august, YES! We are going with some friends who have a son a month older than Paisley. I'm super super excited.

Someone shit in the hallway where I work. Someone came over and said "did you see the shit outside of the bathroom?" So I called maintenance and of course had to go see for my own eyes and sure enough, there was a big ol' pile of shit on the carpet. WTF.

Kiddo is napping and I'm waiting for the neighborhood kid to come over and power wash around the pool. I decided to have ice cream with sprinkles for lunch. It was so peaceful. Just heaven.

I hate our fucking house. Hate it. We walked into this place with wide-eyed wonder of owning our first house and quickly found out that what we thought was a fixer-upper was really a "we should have torn this POS down and started over". Our kitchen, bathroom, and joke of a 2nd bathroom are all projects in process. The basement is in dire need of updating. A chunk of our fence in front fell down a few weeks ago, and now some of the boards on the back deck are rotting and collapsing after the heavy rains over the weekend.

I JUST WANT MY HOUSE TO STOP BEING A SHITHOLE that requires far more work, time, and money that we have right now. I can't even have company over because there are so many rooms that are works in progress that the state of the house is embarrassing. I'm having serious buyers' remorse right now, seven years later.

I'm dreaming of eating pizza when I'm home alone with the baby next week.

Also, there is a heat advisory, and the high in Tucson today is 109 (we are south if there, but it's still hot). I want to go swimming, damnit!

We go anyway....Just slather on sunscreen and drink a bottle of water every hour. It's so hot all I want to do is sleep.

Ugh, this is awful. I really feel for you. We are 5 years in to a house that we knew would be a fixer-upper, and it's still daunting. I think I watched FAR too much HGTV when I was house hunting-- I saw "potential" where I should have just seen "nope." 

I hope you finish up some projects soon-- it will look so good when they are done!

Took DS to the doctor this morning, he has HFM and they think that's why he woke up every 2 hours last night because his throat hurt. Pretty sure I have it too, throat hurts and body aches all over. Of course DS wants to be held and he weighs a ton which hurts. Lots of screaming in my ear. I have no clue when I'll work again, he can't go to his new daycare until his mouth sores have healed and I have no idea how long that takes. DH is in California. He was getting me a spa package for Saturday because I've had such a hard time this trip but I don't know if I'll still be contagious. I want to go

spellingbea, its not your fault after all! Lol

I'm worried about the baby in this heat though.  Maybe I'll put him in the PnP in the Arizona room...

I can not imagine shitting in a hallway, much less in a hallway of my work place.

Barf.

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!

Um, this is awesome! Great job and congratulations!

Thanks!!

I was renewing, but I failed the test twice the first time I tried.  That was the end of my attempt to do the online instruction.  Full day, in-person instruction from now on!

I know that feel, bro.

People who had never seen our house didn't understand why I wanted NOTHING to do with it in the divorce.  People who knew the house, well, they knew why I was all

I bought the proboards app last night. I hate it. Back to the mobile site I go. :/

On the upside, I've lost enough weight to wear pants and a shirt today that haven't seen sunlight in like 9 months, so yay!

I just turned down a job offer. I've been waiting for one for 2.5 years but I'm hoping to make a run at contracting and the job offer wasn't even in the ballpark salary-wise to give up on the flexibility of contracting. My new client better pony up. Fuck I hope I did the right thing.

Yesterday was so much fun at day camp. A bernese mountain dog decided to hang out with me and proceeded to give about 10% of his fur. It's so lovely that our uniform includes khaki pants. I love playing with dogs all day. (heart)
