This morning H and I are heading to the bank to refinance my student loans. The deadline for it is next week. My mom has been on my back about this for weeks. The thing is, I always planned to get it done, but she seems to think I need *convincing*. So yesterday she called me twice and sent me 4 text messages about why I should refinance, how much money I'll save, etc. She does this with everything, and it really starts to get on my nerves . She calls me repeatedly, and if I don't answer right away she'll text "call me". I feel guilty because I'm grateful to have a mom who cares so much, but sometimes she is really up my butt about things.
Big snowstorm is supposed to hit starting this afternoon, so running some errands and going to lunch with my sis shortly, then staying in the rest of the day! Then again, with how the forecasts have been lately, it could be 60 and sunny later as well... ha!
Random: On the MMM board, there is a thread about what boards people frequent and impressions of them, and I posted that WC is the friendly board. Someone else responded that we are "too friendly." :\ Yet another reason why I don't comment much on other boards (except GP and occasionally MMM). I've gotten comments like that on other boards several times.
sarahsas I agree with you. The world has enough bad things in it; it would be better if more people were kind and friendly, in my opinion. I come to this board for support and camaraderie. It's supposed to be a place we feel comfortable, not threatened. No such thing as "too friendly" IMO.
jjwritergirl I hope you feel better soon! I'm sorry for the in-law drama - that sounds so unfair.

We're heading out to the suburbs to do some shopping and something fun like bowling to break up the chores. We'll probably grab something for dinner too while we're out. I find it funny how running errands can now be a half-day adventure.

Some people on MMM don't like the fact that we accept jjwritergirl on our board because, you know, she's a total asshole
My SIL had her baby this morning which is great, but of course she had a perfect 5 hour home birth. She got no stretch marks. All my SILs are insane and make me look so terrible and my MIL judges me for it. I wish I could just be happy for the new baby instead of the happiness being mixed with frustration at all the negative kick backs I now have to deal with.
Also I'm still freaking sick. I've never been this sick ever in my life. I'm ready to throw and break all the things.

I was going to say that this is what the comment was about I'm sure. Meh. If I shut people out for saying/doing something I don't agree with, I'd have no friends. I wasn't around when that whole thing happened so I don't know much about it anyways, but whatever! Personally I'd rather be too nice than have lots of drama around here.
H and I went out this morning and bought a freezer for the garage so I can cook homemade soups and purees ahead of time for easy meals during the weeks. We were then supposed to go to the store so I could start cooking, but I had a bathroom emergency and now I'm afraid to leave the house because my stomach still hurts. Boooo.

That thread is very entertaining to read. I enjoyed reading what people thought of other boards, but appears no one either knows about us or doesn't find us interesting enough haha. I'm okay with being too friendly, as well!
DH and I are determined to get our tax information together. We have been trying the past three weekends but always get distracted. Fun stuff... but oh well, it has to be done.

Nothing exciting here. Just working through sleep deprivation doing the best I can. It's better than last week, so there's that. We had a few visitors today and might have a few more tomorrow. We're supposed to get some snow tomorrow, so we just plan on staying in all day.
So exhausted! Woke up super early and inlaws showed up. FIL and H spent the day installing trim and doors and baseboards. I decluttered, organized and packed boxes and MIL deep cleaned the entire first floor. H and I finally went out to return some extra supplies and stopped for dinner and frozen custard. Now we're home yawning- just waiting for the sheets to finish drying so we can hit the sack somewhat early.
Working tonight. I'm going to have to figure something out for weekends because W was up all day and I didn't get much sleep. I may have to see if his nanny can watch him during the day or hire someone else. $$$ or sleep, that is the question.
I need to do our taxes. It doesn't take long with H&R block online but I just don't want to do it! [pouts]
sarahsas A few years ago JJ made some comments in a post on ML that some found offensive/hurtful/disgusting. Now some people think she is a horrible person and should be shunned from the boards so they don't like that WC welcomes her here. It's really stupid, IMO. I don't get why others who don't post here care who is on our board or what our dynamic is.
In case it's not clear I love jjwritergirl and I am glad she is a part of WC. If people don't want to like our board or like me because of that, well whatever, that's their opinion and their choice. I just don't understand why people harp on it.
