Gatwick is the worst airport I’ve ever been through. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
But I get to go to dishoom in 1 hour so yay!
Be careful on your return flight - they are SUPER picky about liquids. They insisted my tube of mascara counted toward the amount you could put into a tiny bag they provided. I had to dump a few things that went through security elsewhere just fine.
I lost my mom really suddenly nearly 6 years ago. This morning I was trying to figure something out and felt confused by the whole thing (women's health related). My husband called me to say good morning and I just unexpectedly started crying, probably not what he was expecting during a quick phone chat.
Not having a mom to call for advice/questions is really hard. It seems like new things pop up all the time where I really need her and it's just a constant reminder of how much I miss her.
So many hugs to you.
The first anniversary of my mom's death is next week. It was relatively sudden (five weeks from diagnosis to her passing). I'm a total wreck lately and wondering when I'll ever feel normal again. I've also had the thing a lot lately where I think of something that I want to ask my parents (my dad is gone too) and I forget for a moment they aren't here anymore.
My son and his friends rode their bikes to a local lake to go fishing. This is the first time I've let him do it, he's 12, I'm so nervous about it, but I need to start realizing he is going to want to do things that allow him more freedom.
Thank goodness for modern technology, I can see where he is on our life 360 app.
I'm taking up figure skating again (hopefully), after 30 years away from the ice. I went and got professionally fitted for custom skates 2 weeks ago (because I apparently have gigantic shins and huge flat feet that don't fit stock sizes of skates more appropriate for beginners). They said it would take 2-4 weeks and I'm SO IMPATIENT for them to come in. Because I am DYING to get back on the ice and at the same time I'm dreading it a little bit because there is a chance that what they ordered still might not fit properly. In which case my last resort would be real, super custom, made from scratch boots which would probably be three times what I'm paying now which is already like three times the price of regular stocked skates.
So glad it’s Friday! Duh, lol. Does anyone not think that? I guess if you work Saturdays, no. Anyway.
I’m looking forward to a weekend at home since we’re going out of town next week and I’ll be out of town the weekend after that.
We’re going to see Us tonight and I’m both excited and terrified. Probably 40% excited, 60% scared. I don’t usually like horror movies, but I read a LOT of articles about just how scary it is and I think I can handle it, plus it’s just gotten such good reviews I want to see it. Fingers crossed!
It was good and not scary IMO. It wasn’t very gory and virtually no jump scares. It was more creepy than anything else
Another dreary day! My husband is off; he was clearing the drainer and sliced his finger with a mandoline. He doesn’t need stitches but it hurts.
Then we went to lunch at an old timey lunchcounter which was cute but the food was so bland and not terribly good or filling. I came home and made myself a can of soup.
Fogo de Chao is having $39 dinners this month so we are going there for dinner. Hopefully that saves the day?!
I'm annoyed at H. All of our kids have iPhones, but older models. His daughter wants AirPods and he wants us to chip in and help her pay for them. I don't think a 12 year old has any need for them, and I'm pissed that he's making me be the one to say no.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
karinothing - omg I would rage. the forgetting something and then getting on defensive and arguing/trying to blame me for it is exactly what my husband would do and the sole reason of the majority of our arguments.
knx9211 - get out of here with this first cold lol. E is literally on cold # 7 since he was born. Thanks mom who can’t keep her sick kid home ever.
We spent the night in ER because DSs fever spiked and he was really laboured in his breathing, had a barky cough and started panting. His fever got to around 103.5F and the poor guy was just crying inconsolably and saying “owwie” over and over again. Turns out that cold he’s been fighting turned into croup. He seems to be a bit more himself now but last night/early morning was rough.
I'm sure they told you this, but (If I remember you're in a cold area still) if he gets bad again, usually happens over night- take him out into the cold. It helps the coughing to stop. If it's not cold there anymore you can put his face near the freezer.
My kid has asthma and we've been to the ER a few different types and he gets croup easily, so i'm becoming a pro at this :/
no school today, so C had a sleep over last night and she is still here and they just made slime. I am tired.
I have contacted an attorney who does collaborative divorces, but wants to charge $400 for my consult, which i thought you could get for free or at least far less. Will be calling a different firm recommended by a friend. And yesterday was the first time i really felt how much H does not want to be in the house anymore. I mean, I know that is what is happening, but yesterday i could feel his annoyance or impatience being stuck here. With me, i guess. Also, I know this is messing with my head, but I wish he had simply said he was no longer in love with me, felt that kind of way rather than using the word attracted because the latter makes me feel ugly and unwanted on more than one front, if that makes sense.
Sorry, I just needed to get that all out so I don't lose it in front of my kids.
My random? H just asked me if I wanted to go to an RC car track tomorrow to practice running our machines and watch races and I CAN'T WAIT! I have been playing with his car out in front of our house, and he just got a new one, so now everybody has one they can operate. It's gonna be killer!

No they didn’t! They just told me about taking him into a steamy shower. Everyone says it gets worse at night - not looking forward to tonight.
But I’m sorry you find yourself at the ER so often. We went to the children’s hospital and almost everyone waiting there seemed to haha croup as well.
