That is frustrating. Glad you got most of it cleaned up

My petty vent is that SIL is a social media oversharer creating a life that is so superficial. It drives me nuts. She says she has no money for xyz but yet she posts pictures of her new whatever she bought. And tries to be all funny and coy. It annoys me to no end.

And I shouldn't care

I'd never had a a real headache or migrane until this year. Now any time there is a tornado threat or a good thunderstorm, I can feel it in my eyes, my ears, and my teeth. Light and sounds kill me. And I live in tornado country.

We're in Vegas for the weekend. It's 12:31. The dude in the room next door to us is having a very loud argument with some woman on the phone, I think something about texting.

The reason I don't know for sure? That asshole is fighting in a language I don't know (and can't even identify). For God's sake, if you're going to have a rip-snortin fight in a hotel room at 12:30am, do it in a language I speak so I can at least listen shamelessly and be entertained.

ETA: I'm still listening shamelessly, but instead I'm just making up the translation as they go along. So far, he's a cheating toolbag and she's going to sell his stuff on the street.

This would be an awesome idea for a show or a book - travel to different hotels and blog about or live tweet the stories heard from the next room. haha

I've been doing the intermittent fasting and bootcamp for several weeks now.

I've lost zero pounds.

I hate My Body.

[knx9211]

I'm awake. I've been up since 530. DH booked us an 8am flight to go home after his firm dinner last night. We weren't back to the hotel until 11:30. Some jackasses decided the area right outside our hotel was a good place to yell and cheer from 1:30-2:15. I want to set everything on fire but I am way too tired to do it.

[specialk]

I have a work call at 9 pm tonight. It's a video call so I have to be presentable.

[specialk]

I'm also on week 3 of my period.

[namasteak]

Ds2 got up at 4:50AM on my morning to wake up with him 😂

[ProfessorArtNerd]

As I suspected, both Lucy and H were up my ass last night at the dance. Then at 11 o'clock, we hear a knock on the front door- her girlfriend came over for a sleepover. I totally misunderstood, I thought she was coming at 11 this morning. I think I should get my hearing checked. They're having a good time though, totally worth the heart attack

LOL. If you're the host you set the rules, so you didn't misunderstand, they did! But someone dropped their kid off at 11PM for a sleepover? That alone tells me the other family doesn't understand how sleepovers work. Also, if you were expecting her this morning, was the sleepover supposed to be tonight? I have so many questions!

I thought I agreed to her coming over today, at 11, not 11 last night. It was right after the dance, we cleaned up the gym, and then went our separate ways. I'd just been locked in a gym with a bunch of 3-14 year olds, I was weak!

I do all the baby overnights on work nights. H works and is gone 12+ hours on those days due to his commute, and he takes baby duty as soon as he finally walks in the door. Thursday night was rough and we drove down to MILs on Fri after H got home. He had swore he'd take baby duty on Friday night to give me a break. Yeah, somehow baby ended up sleeping next to my side of the bed. I had to wake him up for each feeding and pass her over, and then he'd have to wake me up if I had fallen asleep for me to put her back in her co-sleeper. (Room we are in is tiny). Now he's napping and when baby woke up it was apparently on me to get up with baby.

I know I won't be sleeping tonight now either. His mom runs a BnB and has paying guests, so I'll be stuck up again tonight to make sure she doesn't wake the other guests up. Which means no night of sleep for me until next Friday, if we go by our schedule. Which I've decided I'm not. H gets to do baby duty on his own on Sunday while I sleep in the guest bed. I'm exhausted.

[grover]

Also the wifi is out, and there's no TV with on demand for me to watch my shows. I'm not lugging the baby to go down to the main Street by myself with all her crab bc the stroller is too bulky for a lot of the stores.

Oh and MIL threw away the little library that my FIL had built up, so no books to read either. I'm bored, and stuck here til this time tomorrow. I wish the wine store delivered.

Talking to someone in China. I sourced a factory, and turned it over to a team to coordinate an order. They messed up and things are not on track, so this call is to help.

The project lead who requested I arrange the call for this time and who is most responsible for this situation just informed me that she isn't likely to make the call.

[RamblingRose]

My farking cousin's widow. She continues to defend cheeto. I have her on my filter list on FB, and forgot to edit the privacy of a post I made last night. So far MixedBerryJam and ProfessorArtNerd have commented. If anyone else wants to, I would be oh so happy. I have to stop or I will seriously damage family relations. 

[nahoku]

MIL keepa calling me with questions about our Memorial Day weekend camping plans. I made the reservations and forwarded all the info to all three of her children. Call one of them! I don't like talking on the phone and I do not want to be in charge of MIL while we are there which is where I feel like this is heading.

She's on the verge. This will definitely be discussed with the owner.

She is adamant that the fuckups aren't her fault, which is the most annoying part. She blames the factory and thinks they should work double shifts for free to accommodate her unrealistic, previously un-communicated deadlines.

I could rant about her all day.

Full house this weekend! I've definitely claimed the not smallest room for next month when we come down for baby A to meet her aunt and uncle for the first time.

I also keep reminding myself that this is the first time we've been up here to visit since FIL passed 2.5 months ago. I'm sure that is not helping Hs ability to sleep last night.

[newnamesameperson]

My usually super sweet MIL said...oh, if you were a teacher you'd have more than one hard day of work. WTF. I have no desire to play the pain Olympics.

Also, I do realize being a teacher is a hard, rewarding job but it doesn't mean if I had a tough day that takes away from you or your previous 30 plus year career.  

[rosiebear]

My sister showed up for brunch 45 minutes early. I was just coming out of the shower and, like a normal person and not a weirdo, I had the pre-party countdown all planned out. DONT THROW MY TIMING OFF!!!

[Jalapeñomel]

It's raining here AGAIN. Rain on Tuesday? Fine. Rain on Thursday? Fine. Stop raining on the weekend! My kid is miserable inside with no playmates.

[bears]

How do the people you're talking with in China feel about the timing, specialk? Are you taking with someone who normally works a Sunday morning shift?

They are at a show and have a meeting with a consultant of ours so they are okay with the timing.

She just emailed again to confirm she's not coming. She says she's at a couple's workshop working to save her marriage. She also suggested we make this call daily or every other day.

I feel bad for her personal issues, but I'm not going to be doing that. I'm going to have to woman up, be firm, and say no.
