April Fools Friday! vents/confessions/whatever you got!

[mommadukes]

My daughter lost her tooth yesterday, so the tooth fairy came last night, but this morning her coloring book was no where to be found!
I thought the toothfairy was playing a cruel April fools joke, but we finally found it.
then DD proceeds to cry and wants her dad to come on vacation with us.
hell no!

I'm sure I'll have something more interesting later.

I really hate Aprils fools day like a lot. I'm relieved I no longer have to go into an office on this day. It's embarrassing how much anxiety April fools day caused me.

Oh yes hahah. Already having an anxiety disorder makes it worse! I'm like I have enough things to stress out about let alone the fact that at any minute something embarrassing could happen to me.

I dislike pranks and don't care if that makes me a wet blanket.

Excited to see BF tonight and get to talk face-to-face about this Dallas job stuff.

[cuddlyevil]

DS1 didn't want to go to school today because he was worried about being pranked.

He wanted me to stay home today too.

Dealing with some feelings that came back up on me, I thought I had dealt with all of them but turns out I was wrong. It kind of sucks, but I feel like once I get through it I will be where I need to be.

[jigsy]

I also dislike April Fools. I hate the prank news stories. So far, Netflix is the only thing I've seen that makes me laugh because it isn't trying to be tricksy.

[Deleted]

jigsy, Netflix is cracking me up!

[mommadukes]

I just called Netflix because I thought I was getting a free month and they charged my credit card. The guy was super giddy to be talking to me.

[riverpestie]

We had an event today that we cancelled due to the rainy weather. It is such a pain to cancel events, there are so many different entities involved that I keep going through my head over and over if I notified everyone or not.

[glitzyglow]

I think I put on too much perfume, damn it. I can really smell it, but I don't know if it's just because I haven't wore it in a while and it's stronger than some of my others.

How is it April already? Where did March go? I am pumped about the nice weather. And I'm excited that my springtime actually has social events on it! I feel like my life is finally hitting a nice stride, which is scary yet comforting.

[Eureka1984]

I'm over April fools. Last night I went on a date. It was pretty cool.

[stephreloaded]

I am glad that it's April!!! We closed our financial year at work and I am just ready for my life to go back to normal.

No one has done any pranks at work yet. Some people have been circulating a message that it is obvious it's a joke but is so funny and clever.

Also, for DD's training, another mom and I had made a very friendly relationship with a guy but he pulled his DD out of the school. They came back last night after like 6 months and it sounds silly but I realised how much I had missed him. This guy makes me crack up all the time.

All the pictures in my office has been changed out to a picture of a coworker that I cannot stand.

The biggest prank today is the lack of refund I will be getting from the IRS...

My usual star.bucks was closed due to a power out. Not a joke. Just sad. I want to close my office door and nap on the floor.

[asoctoberfalls]

Pretty sure I figured out why H is so adamant in insisting that he's "just friends" with this girl at work when it's clear to me that he's not...it's because he's afraid of losing his job. She's technically his subordinate even though she doesn't report to him. They've definitely fired people for that type of behavior in the past. It explains some of the things he's said and done over the last month.

Sad part is, if he did lose his job over this, he would end up blaming me somehow because i have been digging into things and talking to people. I wouldn't have done that if he was honest with me - I felt the need to dig since I know he's lying.

He also blocked/restricted me and all my friends on Facebook. I know because he neglected to restrict one of my friends' husbands.

I just ordered more isagenix. I know it's a MLM scam but the stuff really works for me and works fast. My weight has gotten out of control and I need a quick fix to get me motivated again. I did the same thing last summer but had a really stressful fall/early winter so emotional eating got the best of me and everything I lost came back. Oh and my nightly drink or two might have had something to do with it as well. Either way I'm hoping this will give me the boost of confidence I need and then after I'm done I hope I will be motivated to make better choices with real food so I'm not stuck on protein shakes the rest of my life.

[jojoandleo]

My favorite intern passed the bar! He failed the July bar, so this was his second time, and he was NERVOUS! So we took him to lunch. And by lunch, I mean out for beers...

[Deleted]

kanga1 I have another friend who is doing that program and loves it! I'm seriously considering it myself. I'm usually not much for that stuff, but like you new I need a total reboot. I'm under no illusions I can just go back to eating as is again.

asoctoberfalls as awful as it is you need to stop digging around and asking people. You DO NOT want him to lose his job as he then won't be able to pay you any child support in the divorce. Also at this point as hard as it must be, it just doesn't matter if it's true or not. You two have split. Yes it's painful as fuck, but don't let him know that he's getting to you.

If you decide to go with it I would recommend not getting any of their fiber bars/whey thins/snack options to use as the snacks on your shake days. I've been eating hard boiled eggs, string cheese, cottage cheese or nuts as my snacks on the shake days and it saves a bunch of money instead of buying the extra stuff. I've even cheated a few times (not all out but still not according to the plan) and I am down 13 pounds in less than 3 weeks. I'm not busting out of my jeans anymore so it's definitely more than just water weight.

kanga that's amazing! What is a "shake day" I've tried googling a bit but I get confused haha.

[cuddlyevil]

asoctoberfalls,ITA with @pdx18. Stop digging around, all you're doing is causing yourself more pain.

[pinkdutchtulips]

asoctoberfalls ditto @pdx18 stop digging. I say this as someone who did dig and I was more horrified at what I found. Digging and talking to people to get to the bottom of things isn't going to solve anything and in all likelihood create more questions. This is not what you need right now.

A door was closed for a reason, don't open it !

Isagenix has shake days and cleanse days. The shake days are what you do most of the time. Shake for breakfast. Snack (like the egg or nuts) late morning. Shake for lunch. Snack late afternoon. 400-600 calorie healthy supper. Or you could do your real meal at lunch and have a shake for supper.

Then there are cleanse days. If you order the 30 day kit you will do 4 cleanse days during the month, 2 in one week and 2 in another week. During the cleanse days you drink their cleanse drink 4 times a day. You also eat Isagenix snacks, gross wafer things on the cleanse days and can order the isagenix chocolates to have on cleanse days too. It sounds bad but it really isn't the worst.

I took off today since I had 4 doctor's appointments. One of the appointments was supposed to be surgical clearance, but guess who was up all night coughing? This girl! I have a full blown sinus infection, plus my blood pressure was really high. Long story short, I wasn't cleared. I need this infection gone within two weeks, or I have to reschedule my surgery and start all over with the blood work and whatnot. UGH!

To make matters worse, I just finished my antibiotics 4 days ago for a UTI. WTF! Now I'm back on AB and had to shell out an unexpected $100.00 at the pharmacy for steroids, cough meds, antibiotics, and nasal spray.

I had plans to go to a baseball game tonight, but I'm doing the adult thing and staying home to rest.

Thank god it's the weekend.

Oh and if anyone finds my voice please return it! TIA

ETA: Today is my 6 year divorc-a-versary! Yes, I was divorced on April Fool's Day, but it was no joke! Thank god!

I need a new starter for my car. At least I have a new battery now? (We thought it was that, so xfil replaced it).

I think they are fairly simple to replace by someone with a little car knowledge.

My dog had better be sick. She peed on one of my really good rugs last night, and I had all the layers flipped back today to dry (it's layered on a jute rug) and while I was in the kitchen she peed on the folded back part again tonight. I almost drop-kicked her across the room. Goddamnit.
Plus she has fleas, which means my yard is likely infested. And my cat. Motherfucker.

[liubot]

S is sick with a cold and a fever. I feel so bad for her and she's a clingy, gimpy toddler. My car's battery croaked today along with a headlight and those mothers are expensive! Luckily I found a $50 off coupon and was able to use $20 in points at Advance Auto Parts to save $70 but it's still mad expensive. On a positive note I did my first human balayage on a client today at school and it was GOIRGEOUS. All of my teachers kept coming over saying my technique was perfect and praising my work. I'm so proud of that.
I'm hungry but I'm already laying in bed and I'm too lazy to make something. I colored my hair really bright fuschia last night and I love it. It's so nice to be single and not have a BF who criticizes your piercings and hair color choices. I can and will do what I want!!

@pdx18, pinkdutchtulips, cuddlyevil,

You guys are absolutely right about not digging. It really does cause more pain.

Last night he was packing and I texted him something about boxes. The text showed up on his phone as being from someone with a completely different name from me. I have NO idea why he'd store me in his phone under a different name... it must be somehow related to his new girl. But instead of obsessing over it, I tried to just let it go and realize he's not acting sane right now. It did help - other than being mildly annoyed, it didn't really bother me too much. Hopefully I can keep that up when this weird stuff comes up.

Just took it to the shop and had them do it. The only other folks who could do it for me are across town and it's too expensive for a tow.
