I'm right in the way of the Atmospheric River, and the wind just started. It's really bad, and it's scarry. We have a lot of trees surrounding our house, and I'm concerned that one will come down. My H is at work. I don't want him driving in this, but I want him home.
I guess the dogs won't get a walk, and will complain for hours. 😑
We're hosting DD's lacrosse team dinner tonight. Originally her coach said it would only be varsity, then we come to find out JV was also invited, then we find out the coach won't be here - she wants it to be the team only for bonding.
I thought we would only be providing the food and location - so we would cook for 16ish girls and then would step out of the picture and allow the coach to oversee everything. But now it is 30+ girls with no coach so I feel like we have to be "on" for the entire night.
What? I would be having a panic attack right now. That is not okay!

I am very much over winter and snow. I think we're around 115" this season for snow total, and our average is 75". At least it's sunny today and the next few days will be in the 40s, so a lot of the remaining snow will melt.
I’m at the DMV, waiting to get a copy of a car title my husband misplaced and a man is on his phone yelling at Noah to sit down on the coach and to stop playing with something but I can’t figure out if Noah is a child or a dog. Technology is a trip.
I think my vertigo is back and I'm getting a headache, so I canceled my yoga class spot tonight. I think I'm just going to take a hot bath and maybe just lay in bed reading after dinner.
I've been at this WFH thing and yet, there are weeks where I cannot figure out lunch. I bought some TJ's chicken fried rice to easily heat up after I walk the dog, but there was no chicken in my portion.
Add me to the list of people who are very much over this winter. It was a slippery drive to work today. And of course I had to get gas this morning and it was 17 degrees out To be fair, I've had this vehicle since the beginning of December and this is the first time I've had to put gas in it, it's just worked out that H has done it every other time. I mentioned to him that my good run ended this morning LOL
I just got back from taking four 14-15 yr old and two 11 yr old boys to a trampoline place. That was the loudest car ride of my life. The older boys were too funny. They were discussing drivers Ed, AP classes, sports and all sorts of other random things. I couldn’t hear the younger two way in the back they may not have spoken the entire way home.

I went for a run with a friend and and bitched to her so I feel better We're keeping it simple - doing a big pasta bar. We're going to set everything out on the kitchen island then disappear upstairs and let the girls hang out. Hopefully the captains will have something planned but I'm not going to worry about it.

This is one of those nights where it’s so difficult with H working 2-10. I might hate this worse than when he worked overnight. David is still sick, and it’s cold and windy AF. Lucy needs a ride to the community center bc it’s cold and windy AF, but I don’t want to take David out for that very reason. And wrestling Joey into the car for a five minute round trip drive is the worst. And he fell asleep- for the night? Who knows! Fml
So DS(6) just brought home a project that's due Thursday. The day after tomorrow. A stupid leprechaun trap. So now I get to go buy stickers etc tomorrow and do this project with him tomorrow. Super fun! /s
I think I may be breaking up with my BFF of over a decade right now. It's been coming for almost a year--since she turned an expensive girl's weekend into a trip with her boyfriend (whose presence I found out about after I'd flown to Florida) where I was the third wheel--and after a few interactions in the last couple of weeks I've come to realize that I'm just done. I still love her, but I can't rely on her for any kind of emotional support on the rare occasion when I need it. She just goes radio silent.
This time last year I was devastated at the thought of no longer having her in my life. Now I'm feeling indifferent. I think that says enough by itself.

My vote is dog. I just got a camera and started leaving our dog out of his crate for short periods. I was in a parking lot screaming GET DOWN. YOU LAY DOWN ON YOUR PILLOW. And realized I had cracked the windows because the windows were fogging up. LOL
It's dumb enough to be doing this with a dog, if people are trying to raise children via camera we are well and truly done!

nsl, I'm sorry, I've been there. For me realizing I was done brought relief, because I knew I wouldn't be disappointed/wouldn't have my feelings hurt again.

I have been relatively okay with milestones happening around me. H turned 40, DD turns 16, etc. today it hit me that my brother turns 40. I’m not okay about this. It brought up all sorts of grief and trauma related to our childhood. I wanted to talk to H about it. I feel awkward knowing I was breezy about his birthday last year. E is very adamantly saying in no way are we to do anything about his birthday. He wants to take the day off and spend time alone. It’s a hard day for him as our grandma died on his 10th birthday. Just a weird feeling. I need to get back into therapy. My therapist moved.

nsl I have been there. My friend and I still communicate when we see one another. It just fizzled. The sting was when I said I was done. The relationship organically fell apart and it didn’t hurt as much. I’m sorry you are dealing with this
