We are having 1 houseguest this weekend. Or so I thought.
I was laying in bed watching Greys Anatomy on netflix when H calls at about 10:30pm. He says his friend that he lived with before we got married is in town also (same wedding as the other friend that is staying here). Needs a place to stay. With his 2 kids. And his neice. And his MIL.
So then I was awake and cleaning my house since they'll be here at 5 and I work today.
And then I was AWAKE and couldn't fall asleep until 1:30am.
Today is my last day at my current job! Freedommmmm! I plan to do whatever the fuck I want to do. Lol. Some coworkers are taking me out for a nice lunch later and I plan to get out of here by 4 and go shopping.
Also my dad asked me to help find my mom a piece of wedding jewelry as in "Spend 3K and get her something she would like."
Should i upgrade her stone? Get her an anniversary band? I don't know. Her stone is small and she did say she wanted to upgrade after she saw my sister's ring. This is all very stressful. I am the worst person to buy for so if someone was spending that money on me I would want to pick it out. I think my dad would like to give it to her on their anniversary though.
Plus I know close to nothing about diamonds. We were young and dumb when we bought my ring.
I am going to the talk to some people this morning.
Yesterday I went trail riding. I grew up riding in English saddles, so I'm still not quite accustomed to saddles with horns. As I was dismounting I got the bottom of my sports bra caught on the horn and before I knew it I was on the ground baring it all.
Woke up with my eyelids swollen almost shut. The eye itself is very irritated, and it feels like I have a boulder on my eyeball (but I can't see anything that might actually be causing the irritation). Waiting for the doctor to open at 10 to have it checked out.
We're supposed to go straight from work to meet up with friends for a picnic on the river. Saturday morning, I'm taking Hart to a storytelling show and then we're going to my mom's house to see my grandmother who's visiting from Florida.
Somewhere in there we have to pack for the beach, because we're leaving straight from my mom's to the ILs beach house for the week.
All fun stuff, but we haven't done any laundry, shopping or planning for the beach trip.

Storytime.
So my car got blocked in by a state trooper truck In the parking lot. No problem, I got the kids in the car, buckled up, and figured they'd be done soon. When one of the troopers saw me, he came up to my window, apologized and moved it a few minutes later. I roll up the window and said "my my he was very handsome". So DD1 asked me what handsome meant. I tell her, and she promptly comes back with "So do you think my daddy is handsome too mom? Hmm? Do you?"
Yeah, she totally informed H later that I thought he AND the trooper were both very handsome. H laughed. Le sigh, kid.
I think I've decided to look for a new job. The atmosphere here is consistantly stressful. Not the job itself but nobody here gets along. They all fight and bicker with each other passive agressively. Then they turn around and talk about each other and I am put in the middle. I feel like I'm in middle school.
We are having cooler mornings and this will be my first winter here. I am super anxious about dressing DS this winter. I've been scanning carters and osh kosh for clothes the last few nights worrying if jackets will be warm enough or whatever. I'm skeered but that's stupid. Its just coldness.
Our backyard is a mess. DH is adamant that I don't hire a lawn service. If he doesn't clean it up this weekend, I'm calling them on Monday. He says he will but he also has to do work on the jeep which takes priority over all other things. Its a freaking jungle out there but DH says "its not that bad".
I bought new pillows for our bed yesterday and hardly slept last night. Should have waited to switch them out this weekend. I hardly slept last night which sucks because DH gets his work's suite to himself tonight at the baseball game and I get to tag along to mingle with a few of his clients. I'm going to look haggard with these big bags under my eyes, and not to mention I hate being tired when I actually get to have a life without the kids.

Go for it. He may end up glad you did. I use to have this problem with DH and I'd have to be on him constantly. He finally realized he didn't have the time or the drive to deal with the lawn so we hired a lawn service. It's nice not having to worry about it anymore.
Our dryer caught on fire last night! Thank God H was right there and was able to put it out immediately with the fire extinguisher. He called the fire department to come and make sure all was good. Turns out one of M's dresses had somehow gotten caught, blocking the heat from coming through. We'll be buying a new dryer this weekend.
I placed two orders with Victoria's Secret for a couple schoolbags, leggings and sweatshirts for the girls. One order came no problem. The second order somehow got shipped to our old address and now I have to wait to have it replaced. I have no idea how I managed to mess up the shipping address on the second order but not the first.
I've got so many projects half started around the house. I'm hoping to finish most of them up this weekend since our next four weekends are booked.

I have no idea what I did to my back, but it hurts today.
I have to do laundry and clean up a bit and pack for our trip to NYC. I am so excited to go.
The wife of a co-worker of my H's will be coming to the house today to help out one of our housemates because he is having foot surgery. She is excited to meet me and DS. I am nervous, I hope we hit off and become friends.

I think he will now the lawn but it has to be mowed twice because its so long and we need to use a weed eater (haven't bought one yet). I think I'll end up calling but I'll give him a chance!

My parents will be here tonight!
I made a really good dinner last night.
What did you make?
I cooked a Boston butt all day and then made BBQ with it. I broiled it for about 7-8 minutes so it had a nice crust on too. I put it on onion rolls for sandwiches. And corn on the cob. Lol. Just comfort food but man it was good.

TGIF!!! Today we are celebrating my BFF's bday with a day at the horse races followed by a free concert the track puts on. It's a reagge band called Steal Pluse. We went years ago and the same band played and it was such a fun night!
Woke up with my eyelids swollen almost shut. The eye itself is very irritated, and it feels like I have a boulder on my eyeball (but I can't see anything that might actually be causing the irritation). Waiting for the doctor to open at 10 to have it checked out.
Stye?
My randoms:
My FWP of the day is that I have 3 library books at home and two waiting to be picked up. I need more time to read, yo!
I'm going to attempt to hanging a (somewhat large) mirror all by myself tonight. ::fingers crossed::

Yesterday, I only worked for two hours and it was glorious. I had a doctor's appointment in the morning till 1130 and I had a board meeting afterwards for my project that is on the same street as my house (seriously like 2 mins away). I called my boss to see what time they were headed down there and he told me to just meet him there since I had to eat lunch and then make an unnecessary drive back to the office. So I got to stay home for 1.5 hrs before the meeting.
The meeting ended at 330 and my bosses told me that I could take off for the rest of the day. I went to the mall and then headed home. It was a really awesome day especially since I was sick and felt like crap.
I started playing an old game I used to play, a dude I used to play with came up to me and was basically like "Hey baby lets cyber." When I shut him down he explained that he could do the cyber sex with me, but couldn't be seen out and about with me because his e-girlfriend would be jealous. Lol, bye Felicia. I laughed then went to bed.

Wait, is this 1998?
Fucking right?
I just wanted to kill some trolls and shit.
The whole situation was just weird and creepy as hell.
Nope, and not infected or scratched. Just super inflamed and irritated (probably had something in it at one point, but didn't by the time I saw the doctor). Steroid drops for the next 4 days and I should all better. Swelling has already gone down a bit so I'm headed to work . Although I was super tempted to stay home for the rest of the day.
I am pissed at my kid brother today. DD2 keeps asking to talk to him this week and is really missing him. He won't respond to my texts or emails and she keeps asking me why she can't talk to her uncle. He's only 22 so I know he is his own world but damn, they are your neices, are a million miles away from family and want to talk to you!!! Fuck.
I took today off for a little break. The kids are in school today and H is working. I've been waiting to do this since the end of the school year in May. Lol.
we have an appointment to adjust F's ADD meds. Fingers crossed, this helps with the school problems.
My blackberry wine looks like it's getting close to the point where I can actually drink it. 50/50 odds on it tasting like crap and/or purple moonshine.
If I were not pregnant I would not say no to purple moonshine, that's all I'm saying.

Kristen requested some zucchini bread for our beach trip (in EIGHT DAYS, OMGAH). I told her that sounded fantastic, and told BFF I would bake two or three loaves (6 adults, 4 kids are going) for breakfasts.
I accidentally made 4 loaves and 2 dozen zucchini-chocolate chip muffins.
