FI's aunt informed FI's mom that she's bringing her infant granddaughter to our adults-only ceremony and reception.

THE FIRST RUMBLINGS OF WEDDING DRAMAAAAAAA!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I don't wanna go to school today!

Bright side- there are Pokemon all over my desk haha

[TR]

That's...weird. Is the mother of the baby invited? Or does this bitch just want to show off her granddaughter?

[kittyb]

W.T.Faulkner

Wait...are the baby's parents invited too? Is the baby her plus 1?

Baby's mom (FI's cousin) and her husband are absolutely invited, but they have manners.  lol

[jreeds]

W.T.Faulkner hopefully the  parents talk some sense into grandma!

I slept from 11pm-1am and have literally been awake ever since. I couldn't get comfortable and now my whole body is sore and achey. So gross.

This means H pretty much gets to handle tennis lessons by default. Lucky him!

[ZoeHart]

I had two phone interviews yesterday and I think I bombed them both I was so nervous that I was talking fast and a lot. And I kept thinking to myself shut up but my mouth just kept going. Oy.

[noodle]

W.T.Faulkner , people are crazy with adult-only weddings! We had a friend who, the day before our reception, sent me a FACBOOK MESSAGE saying her childcare had fallen through so she guessed she would stay at the hotel with her kids and her H would go to the reception alone. Clearly angling for an invite for the kids. Want to guess what her childcare plan that "fell through" was? Her parents were going to come and watch the kids. That "fell through at the last minute" because her parents were ON A CRUISE. No way she could have predicted that in advance...

My random is also an AW: people keep telling me how big I look and how there is no way I still have 6 weeks to go before baby gets here. I just had my 34 week appointment, and am measuring at exactly 34 weeks. Baby is head down, and my doctor says he is completely average, estimates that he is 4 1/2 - 5 lbs, and told me the fact that he is hiccuping a lot (yesterday 4 times over the course of the day) is a sign of good health. So many people have commented on how big I am that I had been really nervous she was going to tell me that he is huge, I am huge, and that the hiccups were a sign of a problem. On top of all that, I haven't gained any more weight since my appointment 2 weeks ago. I'm feeling so much better hearing that he and I are both doing well!

[lilafowler]

I'm laughing so hard. Part of my job is to respond to phone reps feedback and investigate if any of our info for them needs to be updated. I just got this (PDQ):

"Default warning letters are supposed to be sent 30 and 60 days if the customer is in the rears.

A person will be receiving one that went out 7/5 that is 120 days in the rears.

Is it 30 and 60 or longer and needs to be corrected if so.
Thank you

My cousin had her baby yesterday and she is for sure the cutest baby ever. At least from the one picture I saw. I won't get to meet her until October.

I am irritated with my H. I had to drop Joanna off at dance camp at 8:15, so H took Elizabeth to my inlaws. On my way back home, he texted me "FYI Bailey shat on the couch, you're going to want to wash the cover for your cushion and the one next to it." I get home and Bailey is still on the couch (he's usually crated while we're gone) the poop is only half cleaned up and now he's tracked it all over the couch so I have to wash ALL of the cushion covers and give Bailey a bath. Thankfully he can't get off hte couch by himself or it would have been all over hte house.

Like, I get that it's stressful trying to get kids out the door in the morning, but I do it every morning with two of them and I don't live literal shit on the couch for someone else to clean up. Just once I'd like to take time to myself and not have anything come up that I need to deal with.

What the FUCK Mr.Tamb? Unacceptable to do anything less than put Bailey in his crate as per usual and remove the covers and AT LEAST put them in the washer. I would be way more than just irritated.

[Chiquitita]

Lurker hope you all don't mind:

My bother was suppose to be here at 8:30 for a playdate. I text to confirm because he is notoriously late and he said he wouldn't get here until 10:30. WHO DOES THAT ! I told him I had to leave at 11:30 ... no answer .

[lilafowler]

@tambcat Dude, no. You don't leave shit lying around! And poor Bailey!

[nightandday]

@tambcat, I would be furious!

The rest of my new furniture is being delivered today. I'm so ready to get my house back in order! Also, we upgraded to a 60' TV and I can't wait to watch The Revenant on it tonight.

[nahoku]

OMG, @tambcat. Rehome. And not Bailey.

Speaking of dogs, my adorable old lady shih tzu peed on our brand new tempurpedic mattress that was just delivered on Saturday (it's on the floor b/c the delivery people brought the wrong bedrails for our new bed). WTF, dog. You could have peed anywhere in the whole house and you chose my new bed? Ugh.

[silva]

I have an extra ticket to a play for tomorrow and I can't find anyone to join me. Originally, it was going to be DH and I going, but all of our sitters are out of town. I'm meeting up with a group of people, but man I don't want to go alone, not to mention waste $30.

[candreco]

I just requested tomorrow afternoon off to get ready for vacation on Thursday. There's a shit ton to do before we leave including the post office which sucks after work hours, I need pedicure, and let's be honest, I wasn't going to be productive at work anyway.

Tamb, I would be livid if DH did that. I get annoyed when I come home to everyone's stuff spread around the house, actual shit would push me over the edge. And he just left B sitting in it basically? NO.

[jreeds]

I've been training this week on some of the new responsibilities that came with my promotion. I love it! Well, so far, lol! It feels like something I could do really well. I'm so happy about that because I was worried I might feel out of my league but so far it feels like a good fit

[jreeds]

Oh Tambcat, That would piss me right off!

[Lucy Honeychurch]

omg, @tambcat, I'd kill him.

I spent the entire night down a rabbit hole watching crazy-neighbor videos on youtube.

I HATE that. I have a friend who does this a lot-we'll be in the car on the way to her house and she'll text "Can you give us another hour to get ready?!" I love her but it drives me nuts.

We're watching Beethoven. I still want a St. Bernard after all these years, lol.

[walterismydog]

Tami, that really sucks. I hope it was just a case of being in an extreme hurry, but it's still irritating as hell.

My random: I heart my man. He's the sweetest, strongest, kindest guy I've ever had in my life. He's such a huge cheerleader for me and all my endeavors (currently job and fitness) and we just really make an awesome team. I'm so lucky. Last night we met up around the Capitol, walked a few miles, stopped for a beer, and then walked around the art museum grounds. We had silly fun and he just makes me feel so special and CALM. Nobody ever makes me feel calm. Here's a silly pic from one of the trippy art installations:

[bex1973]

I just started watching Orange is the New Black (I know, I'm slow) - now all I want to do is watch it! But I can't because we trying to get our house ready to host a ton of family for the weekend. I'm super excited for their visit but I also just want to sit on my new couch and watch tv LOL.

I only have work today & tomorrow and then I'm off until next Thursday! Wee

My aunt and uncle have one. I wish I had a picture to show you - we were over there for the Fourth and I swear, my 5 year old could have ridden him like a horse. He is GIGANTIC. And slobbery.

[isabel]

I think our 14 year old dog has a tooth abscess. DH is taking her to the vet today to get it looked at and get a quote for cleaning/surgery. I also had him look into care credit. His not having a permanent job fucking blows. I don't want to have to choose between taking care of our dog and having enough money to pay the bills.

[AHappierHour]

TMI- all I want to do is poop. I have been able to go since Thursday and my stomach is so bloated it hurts. I drank miralax yesterday afternoon and took a still softener before bed and only a pebble came out. HELP!!

[Deleted]

The past few weeks have been pure hell. My kids have been off the wall, and I spend a good 3/4 of my day mad. At first I was like what the eff is going on with my kids?!, but then I realized it's actually me. I've stopped exercising and I've been eating like crap, and THIS IS WHAT ALWAYS HAPPENS. I stop exercising, start eating all the junk, and I become a raging fucking beast that no one wants to be around. I don't even want to be around myself. I have got to get my shit together. I'm amazed at how poor diet really fucks with my mental health.

I'm right there with you. I was in the ER last week with kidney stones and the pain meds they gave me have slowed everything waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down. I'm so uncomfortable.

Hopefully today is the day for both of us! (gross)
