ILs arrive this afternoon for a weekend visit. They're very nice people, but MIL tends towards unsolicited advice. She at least doesn't mean it as a criticism or anything, just trying to be helpful. But honestly, all of her suggestions assume that we have the time and flexibility of being retired, which we don't. She's completely forgotten what life is like with young kids and full time jobs.
But, I've got commitments this evening and tomorrow afternoon, and my parents are coming for dinner Sunday evening, so that'll cut down on it.
I'm wondering the same thing about the stones, Bernadine. I think you paint them and leave them for other people to find? But I don't know why they're suddenly popping up everywhere.
TGIF! I passed out last night around 9:30 and slept until 6:30 this morning; it was so nice, but I'm still SO tired, and I'm starting to wonder if I should make an appointment for a physical soon to make sure everything is OK. DD2 sleeps great, and every other night I STTN, so I feel like my level of tired these days is not commensurate with the amount of sleep I'm getting.
Our place is going on the market today! I cannot wait till this is over. Our agent is holding offers until Wednesday so FX this thing is done with by Wednesday night. Thursday is our transfer.
Going to look at some houses tonight. I do not like this process.
I'm dragging this morning, I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through the day 😴
MIL and her sister are staying with us this weekend, even after I said I don't want them to. I just want to go home and sleep all weekend and not entertain.

Good luck with the transfer and the house hunting!

There are days I love FB's "on this day" feature. Then there is today.
7 years ago I lost my son. 7 years ago today, my status was about attempting to wear make-up and getting dressed, but couldn't get out of bed. Those were the darkest days of my life. The pain came rushing back when I read my status update. I couldn't breathe. I shook uncontrollably. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to face the day.
Everyone thinks Myles is C's replacement and I should be happy. This isn't how this works. My sons are not replacements. Myles doesn't replace Allie. Why is it common for him to replace C? Why are people so ignorant?
I have done so well this week. I've been so occupied With the move, the house, back to school, etc. it's made life bearable. Who knew one FB status would be a trigger?
Why are people painting stones? I don't get it. I see it all over Facebook.
Where do they have all this free time to leisurely bust out paints FOR ROCKS and then leave them about town? The level of navel gazing this must require is not a life I want.
I'm going to see Lionel Richie (and Mariah... whompwhomp) tonight!!! ::pulls on dancing pants::
Mostly I just want to sleep. Fridays I am always the most exhausted.

Kids love painting anything. Allie loves painting rocks. She's been doing it for years. However, I don't get painting them and letting people find them.

My BFF has been vacationing on Martha's Vineyard for the past week. I was texting her yesterday and she invited us out today. It's a beautiful day and we made it in plenty of time for the ferry. Should be fun!
Jackson has a friend over and we are about to take Carter to a friend's house. It will be nice for them to be apart for awhile today. My sister is having a horrible week and today is her birthday. I don't know how I can help being 1600 miles away. 🙁

I'm waiting to see if we can get authorization from the state for visitation rights to h's grand nephew and niece. They were taken (thank god. Finally) by cps due to their parents being heroin addicts and not feeding them, clothing them, medically caring for them/etc. the GAL said that in all her years, she doesn't remember ever seeing as bad a situation as they were in.

I'm ready for the weekend. We're going to an outdoor movie tonight, to the zoo tomorrow & Sunday I have a race in the morning. Then Monday is DD's Bday and we're taking her out for a special dinner ( pizza, grape soda & ice cream, lol)
We leave for vacation tomorrow. I have to take one of our dogs to the kennel this afternoon and I am nervous about it. He was a rescue and we have never boarded him. He is also a bit of a jerk, I am just praying this goes smoothly.
I really need to do like five things so I can leave and yet here I am...
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion." - Unknown
I'm so sorry for your loss, themysteriouswife. I'm sorry that timehop appeared for you, too. That's not exactly a great way to start the day. {{hugs}}
Happy hour tonight. Nothing special. Tomorrow's my birthday and we're going to our favorite restaurant for dinner. I'm excited about that. But not the part where I'm another year older. Whomp whomp.
Good luck with your transfer, pandora89. All the positive vibes for you.
What a sad situation, Leeham Rimes. I'm glad those kids are out of there.
