Arrrggghhhh someone put the wrong phone number on her job applications and now I'm fielding calls for her.
She's also getting more calls than I am. (wilted)
This happened to me once with a real estate listing. Multiple calls asking when people could schedule an appointment to view our place, and even funnier- angry repeat messages when I didn't return their initial phone calls. Um, even if I was listing my apartment, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to rent to someone who left me angry messages about how valuable their time is!

How crazy am I? I have a paraguard IUD and noticed several pregnancy like symptoms this month - maybe in my head? Now my period is a day late and I am freaking out. Should I test tomorrow AM or give it another day or 2??
We had to order a new window. It was delivered today and the buyer REJECTED the delivery. Then realized what she had done and now gets to track down her new window.
We just got back from the pedi and S went from 6lbs 8oz up to 7lbs 7oz in 8 days! She's over birth weight so I don't have to wake her at night. And DH got me a necklace with Stella's name on it and he gave it to me today:) Love it!
I'm stressed about something that should be fun and exciting. My BFF is getting engaged in a couple of weeks (which IS fun and exciting! I love her boyfriend and he's perfect for her and they're so happy and I'm thrilled for them.)
The boyfriend is planning a surprise party for her the night after the proposal (which she knows is coming, but not when; this is not one of those things where she's going to say no and it will be awkward.) The issue is that it's about an hour and a half from my house, in a place where hotel rooms are a couple hundred a night, and I have an 8 month old baby who I'm still breastfeeding. H will stay with the baby and I'm not at all worried about him- it's more, do I take my pump along and then keep leaving to use it? Plus these people are much more into partying than I am, and quite frankly, I cannot hang. I just don't have the energy to go out until 3 am and will be miserable if I try, and then will have to get myself home at some point. (Staying over may be a distant possibility, but we're trying to save money and have some other expenses coming up, and I don't think a hotel is really in the budget at this point)
I'm pretty sure I'm the only parent in the group, and while I'm sure my friend will be understanding of whatever I need to do because she's awesome that way, I want to be more involved than I think I can be, if that makes sense. And I don't want to be that person who says, "Hey sorry I can't take 3 days to celebrate your super special event, I have a baaaaaaaby."
Wow that got long and I'm not sure it made any sense. Babies complicate things and I really don't want it to come between me and my friend, but it seems like that's kind of inevitable, and it's making me sad.
DD went to daycare today in just a diaper. I had her all dressed and ready to go when I left, and then she had a giant poop and required a full outfit change. She refused to let DH dress her - screaming, hid under the kitchen table, lost her mind.
So eventually he packed some clothes and shipped her off like this:

PDQ, I may delete.
I am seriously judging my MIL right now for how she's treating FIL after he had surgery. I am so completely disgusted with her. It's to the point where I don't know if I can ever look at her the same again.
A big part of me is worried that the reason she is acting the way she is is due to some form of dementia. FIL was diagnosed with early onset dementia a few years ago, but it took a couple years of prodding from me for H to see the issue, followed by several years of prodding by H for MIL to see the issue and for her to get FIL the help he needed. The denial over possible issues was strong. Now MIL is acting just like FIL was years ago.
But then again, there's a strong possibility this has nothing to do with dementia, and she's just being a hateful bitch for no reason.
I am so proud of myself for not obsessing over the newborn tracker app this time. I haven't used it at all!! Last time I tracked every diaper, feed and sleep for like 6 months
If it makes you feel better, I tracked when and how long DD nursed for... for an entire year. Plus how much I pumped each day. I was ridic.

After 6.5 months my unemployment case was finally approved. Thus ends the weekly phone calls to nudge them into doing something, and thus begins actually getting paid. This relieves some of my stress too.

I'm going to punch my husband in the face. He leaves shit out on the counter and then gets pissed when the dogs eat it. Tonight it was the BBQ chicken I just made. IT'S NOT THE FREAKING DOGS FAULT, OF COURSE THEY'RE GOING TO EAT THE DELICIOUS CHICKEN. STOP LEAVING STUFF OUT FFS.
At least Amelia had already eaten. I guess I'll be microwaving some pizza rolls later tonight.
REAL rain, like scattered little storms, not just some mist bullshit. The ground has been wet for 4 hours.
That is all that matters.
It monsooned the week we went to San Diego and was like upper 80s. SOOOO unfair!
You know, SoCal gets more rain then we ever do, I swear (Bay Area). I cannot even remember when it properly rained here last. I am so starved for it (along with the reservoirs and plants!)
But rain on your vacay plain sucks. Lame that it happened when it seriously hasn't rained in 5 years! wtf lol

Despite being in the middle of a major Ross and Rachel moment while watching Friends, I turned off the tv and took a nap since DD had just gone to sleep. I woke up 1.5 hours later and feel so much better. I'm very happy with my decision to nap, haha.
Now just waiting for DD to wake up so I can feed her and then pick up the boys from my mom's house.
