Randoms - week of Oct 24

[kicks]

It's already the end of the month!

I just realized I have something every evening/night this week. But luckily I'm off the entire weekend, so I'm already looking forward to Fri lol.

Tonight I have soccer game
Tomorrow I'm on call at the hospital till 10pm
Wed night I have French class
Thurs I have a focus group for residents...but get paid $270, yay! Also you get put in to a raffle for $100 extra dollars if you show up 15 min early so I def WILL NOT be on CP time

Hows everyone's week looking?

[itsme]

Work and gym/run all week.

Eye doctor Saturday.

Amusement park on Sunday (I think).

I'm in a mental funk right now so I really don't want to do much of anything but lounge around and binge watch TV and eat.

Haven't posted much here recently, have been lurking.

Booked our flight for Ireland/Scotland in May!

Not even November and I am already stressing about Christmas plans. We go to my parents Christmas Eve and a quick lunch at my in-laws Christmas Day and then the 26th we do a big get together with H's extended family. We rarely ever see H's family throughout the year but we see mine at least a few times a month.

My uncle called and invited us to my cousins 18th birthday party on the 26th and my parents are trying to quilt me into going. "oh just go up the 25th and come for the party" "don't you want to be with the rest of your family?". I am just trying to imagine the shit show if I told my parents I wasn't coming to their Christmas party because H's niece is having a birthday party. God my parents are so difficult. They know the specific weekends we visit H's family (Easter, Civic, Christmas - maybe one weekend over the summer, that's it). Yet they don't care and just plan whatever they want and expect me there (my moms birthday party 3 weeks after her birthday that fell on the weekend of H's family reunion; that was a shitshow because I wasn't able to be at their house for 7AM that morning to set up because we were driving back from the family reunion - which we left earlier than we had originally planned).

Wow, that got long.

[andwhat]

Work/gym/lack of sleep is basically my life right now. I cannot wait until Friday.

I am going to do some research of PK-4 today.

I am ordering my harvest table for our sunroom/morning room and am so excited.

Why won't my DD sleep in her bed at night?

These are all the thought running through my head right now.

Is this weird?

A Facebook friend posted about her anniversary and said "Eating cake with my brown husband"

She's white and I'm not 100% sure of his background but his name indicates he's maybe middle eastern.

OUr Keurig has been dying a slow death over the last few weeks. DH messed with it and said he fixed he, but I've officially given up and ordered a new one and decided to give up on the Keurig. I wanted a ninja, but I don't want to pay that much when I really just need coffee.

I'm judging my first step show this week for homecoming and I'm somewhat nervous about it lol.

Wednesday is my last day on the office this week and even though I have a lot of driving Th-Fr I am just so glad not to be in the office!

Weird unless there is some unknown backstory.

So random. 

[itsme]

It sounds like it's an inside joke or something kicks.

[sfy]

I don't have much happening until the weekend. I will probably try to squeeze in a mani, pedi and eyebrows on Wednesday or Thursday. Wednesday is probably easiest because I'm not going to the gym that day. My friend is coming in town, so she, our other friend and I are going to do lunch on Friday. Saturday, I'm meeting my hiking partner for our hike and then meeting a friend for brunch. Sunday, I'm going to volunteer, because I hopped back into that like I never left lol, thank goodness. My DH is going to his homecoming so I'm happy to have some stuff to do.

I hope the funk lifts, itsme , and that your week starts looking up, freedom .

Hey guys!! Things have been so crazy busy at work for me that I feel like I haven't had a chance to post here in ages. I'm still busy, but today I don't care because it's my birthday. lol. I would have preferred to take the day off, but I already need to be off at Friday for my room parent/PTA duties at DD's school, so here I am.

I'm so sad for a friend. They were hospitalized due to DV at the hands of her sorry husband. Not to mention all of the property damage he did in fist of rage.

I was literally speechless. I wish I could give her a big hug right now.

I think H and I are going to go to the open house.

So sorry for your friend orangeblossom

[sfy]

I'm so sorry to hear that, orangeblossom .

[orangeblossom]

Thanks y'all. I talked to her today, and she just sounded so defeated. I hope she continues to have the strength and determination to leave him, and that there will be no further violence.

[skwcm80]

I'm so sorry orangeblossom.

Happy birthday threejs!


My kids are on Fall break this week so I'm home with them. I forgot how much they can wear me out, so off to hot yoga we go. Thank goodness for a studio with childcare.

[raangoli]

I'm so sorry orangeblossom , I hope your friend does follow through and leave. I know it is so hard, but she is worth it.

Happy birthday threejs !

I have had a rough few weeks and I am close to my breaking point. I cried yesterday while wrestling BB who would not eat because she has fluid built up in her ears and it's probably painful for her. Then she cried. I felt awful. Then later in the day she ate a bit of paper towel that I left within her arms reach so I felt even worse. As if that was not enough, since she's on an antibiotic, her BM was a scary color and it freaked me out. So I talked to the nurses at the pedi's office twice within like 30 minutes.

I am still very sad about having lost my job and leaving the company. Then my dad was in the ICU and it wasn't looking good this past weekend. He's fine now though and maybe home in the next day or two.

I need a break but there isn't one in sight.

[andwhat]

Sorry you are having a rough time raangoli. I hope things improve soon. Sorry BB isn't feeling well and your dad.

[calle28]

Sorry you're having such a rough time right now raangoli.

[raangoli]

@natariru, you are so sweet, thank you! I'm going to try to make it through this week and maybe we can figure something out for the week after.

This is petty, but it's bugging me...

I barely post pics/selfies of myself on fb/Instagram. I posted one this weekend.

My (gay, white male) friend from med school texted me and said "Girl! I saw your pic, your eye is bloodshot! what is your job doing to you?!?"

Umm, that's kinda rude right? There is a spot in my eye that's red, but I don't think it's a big deal. I don't really care what he thinks about my appearance, but who says that? I think my tolerance for friends is becoming very low. He also previously made a suspicious comment when being in my black neighborhood that I had to shut him down about, so maybe this is just tipping me over the edge to say "bye Felicia"

I didn't respond to his comment.
