Inductions are completely unpredictable. I hope it goes well for her!
I wanted to watch Grey's last night, but ended up working for a couple hours instead. I should be up and working now, but I am so damn tired. Insurance hasn't approved DS2's new reflux med yet and I'm about ready to pay out of pocket for it. I am so fucking tired.

I went super fast, after having been dilated for weeks, but I was also 2 weeks late. But yes, very unpredictable. My uninduced second labor was also crazy fast. Good luck to your sister!
My knees have really been bothering me for the last week. When I get up from sitting I get sharp stabbing pains in both knees, enough for them to buckle slightly. Once I get going I'm okay, but it's definitely a new thing.
And my fingers and toes on my right side are tingly. This isn't a new thing, but hasn't happened in a year or more. Last time all the doctors just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was induced with my second...three years ago today! Because I'd already done the labor thing, it went pretty fast for me. I started Pit at about 8am, they broke my water around 1pm, and he was born just before 9pm.
Congrats to your sister (and you!). I really just wanted to AW that my baby is 3 today!!

I took my 2yo car into a quick oil change place a few weeks ago, and it started running a little loud, so I took it back to the dealer for service.
I just learned they did not replace a cap properly, I had catastrophic fluid loss...and my transmission is dead.
Thank goodness my warranty covers this, and now the oil change place and my dealership are deciding who will pay for my new transmission. I thought I was going to be on the hook for a $6K transmission for a second.
My mom is getting a third unit of blood this morning. She is emotionally done and having a hard time. Hearing you mom cry is just... hard. She also does NOT want my sister to come down this weekend because she can tend to be a type A, take control type person (coming from a good place) but it stresses my mom out because it can also come across as being critical and my mom wants no part of it.
I am scared they will need to remove her entire colon and what that will mean for her.
There is this man that lives in the townhouses across the street from the condo we live in. Our windows face the side his garage/house. He drives this BMW that he has modified. I would think this guy is maybe in his 40s or 50s, with kids etc. This vehicle is the most annoying thing in the entire world, I guess he did something to the muffler or exhaust so it makes a ridiculous amount of noise. He often decides to take it out at night (say after 9:30) or early in the morning on weekends (like before 7am) and literally drive it up and down the street, waking everyone up in the process. I hate this man. I have many a times dreamed of throwing eggs at this car as he drives by (lol I have not nor will I ever actually do it).
pandora89, That sucks. I would complain to the police, if he is breaking a noise ordinance. At the very least I would say something to him, at the very least to ask him to not just drive up and down the street.
zoomzoom - lol anytime I hear him start up his stupid car, I always say to H "there goes the man with the smallest penis"
cleo29 - Hugs Cleo, I am so sorry. Sending so many prayers and good thoughts to you mom. We are moving in 2 weeks so I am just going to keep quiet. If we were here long term I definitely would have said something. I was so tempted to say something last night (yell at him from my 5th floor balcony) but then kept my mouth shut.
We have the school board visiting us today. We all dress casually (jeans, t-shirts, etc.), and today I'm wearing a dress. Administrators have been like, "You look nice!" I want them to think it's because I give a shit that the board is coming, but it's really because a) I haven't done laundry, and b) I'm PMSing like a motherfucker and my pants don't fit well. lol

i have totally been that person yelling out my window telling whomever to shut up. lol
Glad that you will be moving away from the jerk. I HATE when people have those modified mufflers on their cars; so fucking obnoxious.
FIL is coming to visit us this weekend. I'm not super thrilled about it. He has recently started watching Fox News and commenting more politically (he used to not say much - to the point I actually thought he leaned more left than he actually does). He and H have gotten into it lately through FB, so it should be an extra fun visit. Thankfully he plans to spend a bunch of time riding through the mountains on his motorcycle with a few guys he met up here.
A company that moved in a few months ago is getting around to publishing accounting jobs. They only have a couple positions to fill, but this place has crazy good benefits and is close to home. I put in my app this morning. The downside is - almost EVERY accountant I work with is also job hunting. I'd feel better about it if I didn't expect so much competition.

My boarder (who I went to talk about Great Danes on Wednesday) had one of her last litters puppies come back after someone went into financial trouble. She is a year old and the kids and my husband met her last night. They love her. This morning I am bringing our other puppy (an Australian shepherd) to meet her. If alll goes well we are going to adopt her. I am so excited!!
Congrats Auntie Bernadine! I had two inductions and felt they were fairly fast - went in at 3cm/70% effaced both times, both inductions from Pitocin to delivery were 8.5 hours. I do wonder how much faster my second would have been had M been where she needed to be (my hard labor with her lasted a whopping 26 minutes, pushed her out in like 3), but she just did not want to get her head in my pelvis until the nurse re-positioned me when labor stalled.
TGIF! Wawa was SWAMPED this morning because of the free coffee for National Coffee Day thing, omg.
It's SO beautiful outside today, I'm really bummed I have to be inside for most of it, and I'm annoyed that it's going back up into the 80s by the end of next week/next weekend. I'm ready for 60ish degree weather every day.
Oh yay. In addition to no water, no power, my h is under flash flood watch. In a brief what's app convo he told me he is starting to regret this trip, lol.

My induction failed even though I was dilated. They tried breaking my water and it would not break. Two doctors and multiple nurses attempted. I was sent home and Allie came 4 days later. My water broke at home on my due date.

DH got a new smoker yesterday and he is going to smoke a bunch of meat tomorrow. I can't wait! This week has been crazy so my plan for tomorrow is to get a mani/pedi, drink by the pool and eat meat. lol
We have DSS so I think I am going to pick up some small pumpkins for him and his friends on our street to paint.
It'll be a quiet and relaxing weekend so I'm jazzed about that.
Glad it's finally Friday. I decided to treat myself by sending my Stella to daycare today so I don't have to play with them when I get home, lol. Bad dog mom, lol.
I think I get to "work from home" next week bc of contruction in our office. But I really only have a small project to work on so...state fair day?

I'm jealous of you going to the state fair! I lived in TX for 33 years and never went. So much yummy food!
Our local y is doing free open swim and a movie. I have convinced dh to go and I think ds's friend and his family will go too. We invited our neighbor's kid and found out her parents are going out with another neighbor and getting a babysitter for their collective kids. My feelings are a tiny bit hurt we weren't invited.
I'm so annoyed with work lately. We only have 7 people in our office. It's a pretty relaxed environment which is nice when, say, I need to leave an hour early for an appointment and my boss doesn't make us use time off. But it's annoying as fuck when it means one person is consistently 30 min late every day and when your director, assistant director and one coworker are now an hour late (& counting) bc they all apparently went to a concert together last night. I'm such a rule follower that it's hard for me to say, "Ok, well then I'll just be an hour late next time I go to a concert on a weeknight."

AW: I've been working out daily. I think it's making a difference. Someone actually asked me if I've had cool sculpting. Uh, maybe this is a compliment?! However, the scale isn't showing a difference. I'm confused on this. I have weight to lose, so it's not a situation of I'm suddenly getting all this muscle. Shouldn't my body purge the fat first? Maybe this reasoning is flawed, but whatever as long as my "old" (aka thinner me) clothes start fitting better I'm happy.
I can't believe how much I'm actually liking the gym. When I was running 5 miles a day, I dreaded going. Now I'm joining classes, well more weight and running than dance, and I really enjoy it.
On another note, in the gym child care area they told me my kid was mean and rude to the other kids one day. WTF. He's 2.. I asked what he did, but she said oh he acted like all the other 2 year olds there. Now I feel like I need to glance in more frequently....
H will be coming home today. I hate how I feel that I have to do a total clean up of the house and make it a model house when he comes home. I don't know why I feel like I have to do this. He should feel like HE should have to maintain that then all weekend. However, he doesn't to the same degree and I get stressed by clutter/mess. It's exhausting.
Im excited for lunch today! We have mimosas and I made 2 overnight casseroles (cinnamon roll French toast casserole and hash brown/egg/sausage/cheese casserole) so the guys can come over before leaving for the bachelor party.
Anxiously waiting to hear from Toyota about my car. Does it sound like BS that I have to buy a car within 48 hours of it being declared totaled?

I'm horribly pissed off about a car I bought in June. It's a 2nd, fun car for me (a 2 seater, convertible, MR2). There isn't a ton of these available so I bought it in PA and drove it home. It sat the next day and when I went to drive it the day after that, my transmission light came on. Well, fast forward to now and it's still not working. The warranty company (90 days) would only cover one part and not the other, blah blah, lots of back and forth. The place I bought it from ended up buying one part and that was finally installed.
Or so we thought. My BF is really handy with cars and whatnot so we decided to see if he could re-build the 2nd part (brand new the part is $3k). He was working on it yesterday and discovered the transmission place never replaced the 1st part!! I was helping pull off some lines that connected to the 1st, and it was quite clear even to me that it had never even been touched.
Meanwhile, this place got paid from the warranty company for the 1st part and labor and did absolutely nothing. My BF is going to call them today, but I don't even know what to do. I'm so frustrated with this whole situation.
