My DH and dogs are passed out on the couch right now all cuddled together. It's adorable and I sort of want to sneak into the bedroom and leave them out here so I can have the whole bed to myself tonight. Muahaha.
This is more of a vent than a random but I just need a break from life and to get this out. I have been traveling non stop for work. I found out yesterday that my mom may have had a stroke and is being tested for Alzheimer's. DH is still in mega pain after his spinal fusion and we have an MRI on his hip on Friday to see if there is something going on there. I had to have a mole removed on my back and now I have stitches in my back. Playing the damsel in distress while I'm traveling is a huge pain in the ass and I hate it but I don't want to pop a stitch lugging my suitcase around. I want to drink all of the wine because of all of the above.

Do you guys remember how I mentioned that a local radio station wanted me to come on on Tuesdays to discuss the bachelor? I've been doing that every week (minus two).
This week, the idea of bringing the twins into the studio was tossed around and they asked if I would come in if they were able to get the twins. I told them I wanted to but we'd have to discuss it since I work, but I hope it works out! It would be so fun.
Dry Erase markers should NEVER be given to 5 year olds. You cannot get that ink out of clothing . Of course it was DD1's 'good' dress from Easter last year (she really really really wanted to wear it and nothing that they've done at pre school up until now stained).
Denatured alcohol. You can get it at Home Depot/Lowes.
My mom found out about it when my brother (who was about 10) used permanent marker on the front hem of all of his clothes to designate which day of the week he would wear each outfit.

LOL awww, like he was preplanning? Is he still a big planner?
We watched Inside Out tonight and I cried for like 90% of it for two reasons: I'm emotionally stunted thanks to bootstraps parents so it made me feel all sorts of things, and I don't want L's islands to break apart and re-form! Lol. Ridiculous, but I'm so sad right now. Fucking Disney.

Yes, exactly. But not because he was a planner, but because he was a daudler in the mornings and would agonize over his clothes. So my mom started having him pick his clothes out the night before. His type-A brain took it another step further and figured it'd be easier to designate an outfit for each day. And his solution was to write M, W, T, etc right on the front of his shirts. All of them. My mom was FURIOUS, thinking she would have to replace his entire wardrobe.

Aww poor kid he was trying! I will need to watch for this because I make Morgan pick out clothes the night before because mornings are a shit storm for us! **Note to self** LOL
I mentioned in the earlier random thread that I needed to konmari the kids shit. I did the primary going through everything. I then separated everything into categories. Tomorrow I plan on having the kids go through and try to decide what to donate.
I want to try and keep most of it in easy to pack so when we list our house it will be easy to grab and toss into our car.
It went from this
To this after I threw a bunch of shit away/made a donation container
To this now. There are still stuffed animals upstairs, and some barbies, but I'm so glad it's at least manageable now.
My youngest kept freaking out thinking I'm throwing away all off it. (They don't know that I got rid of a bunch of things.)
I'm hoping they are willing to get rid of things tomorrow because this is still insane.

When she first told him to "lay out your outfit for tomorrow," he took one of his big stuffed animals and dressed it in his clothes for the next day, complete with socks and shoes. My mom took a pic, LOL.
Aw, thanks for asking! I'm feeling really great. I've been so lucky to have a very easy pregnancy. Due in 2 months. We still need to decide on a name!
We decided DS2's name in the car en route to the hospital. You have time
My youngest was baby girl last name for the first day and a half of her life, and the only reason she was named when she was is because they told us if we didn't pick a name to fill out the birth cert we would have to stay another day because the office was closing.
Today is the first anniversary of my dad's death. To recognize this, does my brother...send a card? A heartfelt text? Or a box of three dozen individually wrapped live butterflies that I have to keep cold until they can be "thawed" for an hour and then released during daylight hours when the temperature is over 70 degrees?
Best of all, he sent them to my girls. Because I would make a point to tell my five year olds that they should be extra sad today, on top of missing their Papa all the time, anyway.
My H is going to handle them tomorrow. And my girls will never know. Poor butterflies.

He tried?
Eh, we have no relationship. We never talk. Rarely text. But he likes to make random, grandiose gestures because he thinks it makes him look good. This time he outdid himself.
