I just "met" a cousin whom I didn't even know existed on Facebook and learned a few things about my family that I never knew before! I love this kind of stuff!

Yay for Friday!!
We both took the day off. L slept all night in her bed and just came over to snuggle after her light turned green.
She's going to kindergarten. H is going surfing. I'm packing for a weekend at Disneyland.
We are picking her up right after school, grabbing lunch and driving up. Tonight is Mickeys Halloween. Tomorrow we are having a lay around the hotel and pool day. Then back to Disney on Sunday for a bit. Then home to a clean house (she's coming today after we leave).
It's our last hurrah as a family of 3 and I'm so excited!!

My H's job is having a baby shower for us this afternoon. I never met any of them before, so this should be interesting. At least I get to take off early today!
I am having a girls night at my house with my SIL and cousins so that will be fun, although DH was supposed to play hockey tonight and won't be bc he has to wake up at 4am fit work tomorrow. Which means he will hang around and it will bug me.
Sunday I am having some of my new neighbors, who I really like, over to see the house (we all recently built in this development and are curious what the other houses look like).
DH found our scale in an unpacked box in the garage. I haven't weighed myself since April. I did not like the result.
DH is taking SDs on a camping/off road trip this weekend so it's just me and DS. I'm happy to have just the two of us and nothing to get done so we can just spend time. I think we'll go to the botanical gardens. He really likes flowers and bugs right now.
I went to the wake of my ex boyfriend that died in the fire. When I walked up to the funeral home his dad was outside. He looked at me and said "Oh my God SloanPeterson!" and gave me a huge hug and started to cry. He thanked me so much for coming. Inside I saw his mom and sisters who all gave me huge hugs and thanked me. when I asked his mom how she was holding up and did she need anything she said "All I can say is this just sucks. I want my boy back" there were pictures out from when he was little and the time we dated and I just felt so bad. I didn't see his ex wife she was in and out of the receiving line and I am glad as that may have been awkward. I could sense the tenseness btwn her and his family. (they were separated)
I did get to see some of our old friends and I am so glad that I did go.
I'm leaving at 1:00 today so I can go to the grocery store. Then we are off to the cabin once dd is home from school! Which reminds me, I need to text dd's soccer coach to let her know that dd won't be at the game tomorrow.

I'm blue. It sucks. I've asked my work BFF to go to lunch 4 times in the last 2 weeks and she keeps blowing me off. Too busy, have plans, etc. that's not like her.
I feel stuck in my job lately and I hate it. I used to love my job. Now, I sit her annoyed. I hear people talking about these big projects they are on and I don't have one right now. My department just isn't as "important" as others right now so we have no money for anything. A girl I used to be close with (think came to the hospital after my kids birth, threw me a baby shower etc) is now in BEC territory with me. And she got promoted recently and that pisses me off because she is a giant back stabber and acts better than everyone else.
I'm not happy with my body right now. At all. My kid is 2 1/2 and I still can't get back into my pre-pg clothes from him.
I really just need a break. I need time when no one needs anything from me. I tried to take last Friday off and take some me time. I took one kid to the ENT for his check up and took him to daycare. I was going to go shopping and get coffee and have some quiet time but nope, school called and my DD was sick. I'm tired. I'm overwhelmed. And I'm sad.
My birthday is coming up. DH wants us to take the day off together. And it will be fine. And we will have fun, or I will fake having fun. But that is the anniversary of my dad's passing away and I hate that day. I hate my birthday and I really, really miss my dad. And I hate that I have to fake happy on my birthday when I want to just get through the day.

I'm just done with this week. I went to a trade show down in Denver two days this week and it was really hectic, getting myself not just "ready" as in I can leave the house, but "ready" in the sense of business professional dress, hair, makeup, etc. along with getting my two kids ready and out the door and dropped off at school and then driving into the city.
I realize that most people do this every day, but I'm really glad to be back in my usual lounge pants working from home with no makeup and my hair still damp.
I just asked my friend who lives near Park Slope to go check it out and give me a full report My SIL is moving back to Brooklyn and LOVEs to bake (and went to culinary school) so I am going to pass this on to her too. Hopefully I will go visit her soon and check it out- it looks delicious!

I had to read my late husband's autopsy report yesterday because I'm in a life insurance dispute and had to make sure my claim is valid. That was a real mind fuck. So, I did the healthiest thing possible last night (after my kid was asleep)...invited a beneficial friend over (for some benefits) and drank a bottle of wine.

Oh honey that sucks so much. I'm glad you got the wine (and the benefits!).
Although I had success with ON and Carter's last year, I am reconsidering my clothing purchasing methods and I may veer back into more pricey children's clothing.
Today, I took one of the thin shirts and looked at the fabric weave of the thin shirt as compared to a thicker, desirable-quality shirt and the weave is very different which, I guess, allows for a thinner fabric that won't just immediately disintegrate.
