themysteriouswife I'm so sorry for your loss and I'm so sorry that people are insensitive jerks sometimes
Today is my 38th birthday. I told DS this morning that it was my birthday and he said "no Mommy! It's my birthday!" 2 year olds are so selfish
My boyfriend has his kids this weekend starting tonight so he's taking me to lunch today and we're going to celebrate next weekend. I also had flowers delivered to my office this morning which was a nice surprise, starting to really like this guy!

I had an MRI scheduled this morning. When I was scheduling it I turned down the offer for sedation thinking that I would be fine. I have had an MRI before but the machine was open so I had that in mind and did not take a Xanax either. Huge mistake...the tech got me comfy and started rolling me back into the tube and I panicked and started banging on the inside and telling her to let me out. I had my eyes closed and could feel it closing in around me. I was mortified and started to cry and kept apologizing to the tech. She assured me that it's a completely normal reaction but damn, I was embarrassed as hell.
So, now I have to reschedule. I will be getting sedated for sure.
BaliHai I think a lot of my exhaustion was mental load. Even when DS started STTN, I just felt so drained. H once dared say "but you got 8 hours of sleep, what is wrong that you are still so exhausted?" I managed not to kill him, but it was the being back at work, and worrying about doctors appointments, and feeding the baby, and pumping, and when am I going grocery shopping, and laundry piling up, and...
We took yesterday off to spend the day with DS for his birthday. I can't believe my baby is 1! It is so disorienting to be working today. I was sure it was Sunday when I woke up.

TOLD YOU he would remember. LOL. Happy birthday! <)
noodle, that is a good point! I didn't even think of that really. Happy belated birthday to C, BTW! I meant to say that yesterday. I can't believe he's already 1!

Haha! He texted me on Monday and said "somebody has a birthday this week", so yes he remembered :-)

Myles still sings happy birthday to himself daily. His birthday was in June. 😂
Thank you for listening today everyone. Honestly, I felt so much better just typing it out.

I'm sending hugs themysteriouswife. The 5 year anniversary of our loss is coming up in December, and the week before a memory always comes up in Facebook that is something like "sometimes things are just perfect." I wish I could go back to that naive place. I hope today is as gentle as possible.
jeekerbeeker, I've only ever had to have an MRI on my knew so my head was able to stick out. If I were fully enclosed, I'd probably have had the exact same reaction. I'm sure the tech sees it all time.
themysteriouswife I am so sorry for your loss. And that people are so clueless and say things that are hurtful. Much love to you today as you remember C.
I'm eating a poke bowl right now for lunch (Think Sushi in a bowl - but it's Hawaiian) and it's made my day. Have to face a difficult coworker in a meeting at 1pm, so hopefully my lunch-high will make the meeting easier!
It's my daughter's 5th birthday. I'm annoyed at my sister who I arranged to come take her on an outing with her kids was an hour late. The whole point of my request was to align the baby's nap so I could party prep but, of course, my flaky baby sis forgot so I ran the errands with both kids first. I'm still glad my birthday girl gets a special day with her cousins but it's so my sister to do everything a little wrong and inconvenient for everyone else. But I'm looking forward to DD's party tonight!

Oh themysteriouswife I'm so sorry. Sending love to you and a flaming bag of dog poo to anyone that's said anything shitty to you. People really suck sometimes.
I hope everything goes well on all counts pandora89!

I deleted our announcement post and other happy post in a fit of rage a few years ago. I'm still not sure if that was the right thing. Big hugs to you.
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.
Why is it navel-gazing to have a hobby? Is it really hard for you to imagine that there are people who value artistic expression so they make sure to do arts and crafts in their free time?
Is it navel-gazy of me to paint/customize pop funkos aka PLASTIC GARBAGE and give them to friends?
My 6 year old likes painting rocks & hiding them around the neighborhood for other kids to find. It's a fun way to get kids to be creative and to get out & around the neighborhood. My daughter went out and hid 3 painted rocks last night - she went out with me when I walked our dogs.
Some neighborhoods have FB pages for hiders to post photos of the rocks they painted, and for finders to post what they find & where it was found. Some keep what they find, others re-hide them.
