DH and I have been dog/house sitting since Saturday. Today is our last day and I'm cleaning the house and washing the linens and stuff. As I'm cleaning the room, I discover that one of the dogs chewed through the crotch of a pair of my undies.
I'm glad we got this week away from home. One more week until MIL goes home. I'm will not miss her dogs.
I took a PTO day from work today, and had planned on doing all these super things around the house, and now I have no motivation for any of it. I might bake something, but only for the sole purpose of eating it immediately after. And maybe I'll shower.

DD has had an epic meltdown already this morning. My brain is not equipped to deal with tantrums before 8am or caffeine.
I am half way done with the baby blanket I am knitting, and I am so happy with it.
My MIL flies in tomorrow for the weekend and I am really looking forward to her visit. And, we are having a little celebration with my closest friends at a local tea house to celebrate baby boy Sunday! Woohoo!
1. I did all my chores in the first hour I was awake. Now I have the rest of the day to lounge around and catch up on some TV shows I've missed during the past three weeks of non-stop working.
2. I am very tempted to get fast food for lunch.
3. H and I are in a rough patch and it makes me sad. And distant. And quiet.
4. I cleaned out my closet and I'm donating about thirty pounds of clothing.
5. H got a freelancing job and I'm very proud of him.

I thought it would be fun to buy DD some Dora pull-ups, even though she's nowhere near ready for potty training. But they are all I bought, because I figured, really what's the difference anyway? And she loves Dora. But now I'm worried about what's going to happen when she poops.
- Someone here (or maybe several someones) mentioned veggie straws the other day. I'd never had them and bought some this morning to try. After I had what I figured is about a serving of them I had to take them out to my car so I wouldn't continue to eat the whole bag.
- My boss isn't here today and I'm considering using the opportunity to leave work early since I was going to be cutting it really short to get to an anniversary party tonight.
- I had to wake DS up five minutes before we had to leave this morning. I felt so bad having to do it, but he woke up and smiled at me, so I guess he was okay with it.
I love my husband very much, and I know that he loves me. But I feel like his life would've been so much better if he would never have met me at all, and I feel guilty and selfish about it.
Also, I just found out that an elderly friend that I've known for a very long time is not well at all and hospice has been called in.
I am a serious Debbie Downer today.
This makes me feel sad. I don't think this is true and I doubt he thinks so.
this is fleeting and will be weird, so i'm going to shove it in here.
today i am doubting my no kid stance. i still do not like babies or kids. i know i would hate day-to-day parenting. caring for someone and being responsible for someone all. the. time has zero appeal. but fuck, EVERYONE is pregnant right now. i have one friend (out of 9 close friends) that is not pg. she is also the last single one. everyone is pg on h's side as well. only three out of about 15 wives are not pg and that's b/c two already gave birth this year. another wife is not pg yet, but it's b/c they just moved to new york for her career. they plan to start in the next 5 years.
i know i'm just feeling left out and dysfunctional (as in, i wonder why i have zero desire for this and why i really dislike babies & kids.) we have already taken permanent measures to prevent pregnancy so it's not like it's actually an issue. just a fleeting thought i have today that will be gone tomorrow.
i just feel really different and out of place and like i'm not normal. so i guess i'm not doubting my no kid stance, i'm just feeling down on myself.
I want a new diaper bag. I'm bitter that I bought a really plain black one because H said he wouldn't carry a girly one. He never carries it, so now I want a goddamn girly one. He owes me.
I had the WEIRDEST dream last night. There was a huge flood- I watched a dam break- it killed almost everyone in the world. There were only a few of us left, so we had to start changing everything. We turned some of our cash into plants and flowers at a bank and ate the rest. Someone told me they liked to snack on ones while watching TV.
Don't ask me how there was TV in this post-apocalyptic world of mine.
I was watching the Olympics the night before last and they were showing Michael Phelps' sister and all I could think about is how ridic her bubble necklace is and GBCN and I was laughing. I think my husband may have me committed because he now thinks I am crazy (well let's be honest crazier)!
I saw the doctor for my wonky eye issues, my fasting glucose level was 108. I had a urine and blood test sent to the lab, won't know the answers until Monday. Kind of nervous, diabetes is something that I am not well-versed in numbers-wise, and she made no comment re: my fasting glucose level.
Her nurse stated that it was a little high, could be pre-diabetic. I don't want to get out my jump to conclusions mat until the doctor gets back with me, but I'm a little nervous.

Are pullups not split on the side like they used to be? Are you worried she will blow out?

1. Today, I had to go out of town for one of our projects. The structure is really bad, so we are trying to figure out why. It's on a college campus that has wifi. So I can use my nintendo 3ds to talk with you all. Yay!
2. My godbrother should be in town in less than an hr.
3. The mosquitos are horrible out here. I have 5 bites on my arm and foot.

How long have you felt this way? Have you spoken to anyone about it?

Huggies (Pull-ups brand) are. Pampers' version, though, which have Dora, are a PITA and don't come apart as easily on the sides. I always ended up having to tear them, which can send turds rolling and in general seem to be messier for dealing with poops. Give me a plain ol' diaper any day.
I switched to the Huggies for pull-ups because the Pampers version sucks.

For fasting glucose, they want it to be under 120.
Whew. Can you be my nurse? Why would she say that to me and cause unnecessary worry. I AM worry. lol.

Did you end up getting $ to feed him?
They are trying to for his snacks. He eats a lot of junk food, so we stocked up on hot dogs and ramen noodles for his lunch.
I was going to complain about onion skins that my h left in the sink ovenight, and the neve ending cleaning that I have to do every day, and the fact that my ass is leaking...but then I remembered that it's a long weekend! My day just got 1,000,000x better!

108 isn't bad Scotty. For my GD, they want my fasting under 95 and that's for pregnancy. Per Mayo : The American Diabetes Association recommends a fasting plasma glucose level of 70�130. I'm sure you're just fine. ((HUGS))
I love you for this. I need a chill pill. Not the butt kind.

1. I submitted two applications through federal agencies and both have been forwarded to hiring managers. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I'm hopeful.
I feel like I'm barely treading water with this mom-gig. I mean, I know i'm doing it ok, but I am always feeling like they all need more attention than I've got in me. I feel so guilty b/c Ian has a severe speech delay and if I'm not on my A game with him, he goes off the wall around here. It's hard to always have a lot of patience with him and when I snap, i just feel sooo sooo terrible. He hits constantly b/c he can't talk and it's his way of communicating sometimes. He just hit Evelyn on top of the head and i screamed in his face! I never do that. Luckily, he barely batted an eye at me... but then also, WTF to THAT!?!??!!! ughhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! I'm frustrated!
Evelyn had her surgery on Monday is doing GREAT! I took the advice of many of you and told her well in advance and prepared her with lots of info. thanks!
I feel like I barely see Emelia. She is constantly placed from one thing to the other just to get by. She is growing so fast and is such a darling baby girl and sometimes I feel like she deserves more than me.
I wish for a few days alone in this house.
blahhhh blahhhh... if anyone read all of this, i owe you a million proboard dollars.

3. I saw this sign this morning on my way in and it made me laugh:
There was a poster in our stairwell (I work at an art college) that said "FREE STUFF!" and then had those little strips of paper and they were labeled stuff like, "bookmark" "spitball" and "tiny rolling paper".
DH and I went and saw "The Royal Family" at a local outdoor theater and i loved it. Every time I go to a play, I secretly wish I did the theater route in HS. The costumes were amazing. sigh
We are going to a 3 year old's bday party tomorrow and the invitation states...no gifts please. Talk about the other end of the spectrum....hey I'm ok with it. If anything, she said I could give her daughter one of M's old toys.
DH is being dumb. He invited BIL over at lunch time and didn't ask if they wanted to eat with us. Now DH is being all pissy & refusing to call BIL to ask. I'm being immature and told him if BIL is expecting to eatwith us DH has to be the one to explain why there isn't enough food. I know this is dumb and I could make something that would have leftovers but screw that I'm cranky
Ugh. My h does shit like this too, but it's more like he invites his family over for dinner, but never finds out what time they are going to come over. Last weekend for example, I asked him to please call his mom and figure out what time they are coming over, but no, he just kept saying " some time in the afternoon". Bitch, I don't know what the fuck that means. Are they showing up at noon? 2?3? I need to know these things! It's so annoying.

You could always adopt an older kid. One that can already wipe its own ass, maybe.
