I signed for Match again and I'm super nervous. The first time I did it was right after my divorce and I was all, "Whatever happens, happens!" This time I really would love to meet someone, so I'm much more antsy about the whole thing.
I'm started my internship at my job that just ended (I was seasonal). It's much harder to go there and do the same shit for free that I got paid to do last month.
I have no idea if beano will help with beer farts.
I'm having a personal problem- I tried on some of my shorts last night and most of them did not fit. I've been a bit out of control lately not caring what I eat and not exercising because of the weather/arthritis. I keep justifying it by saying that I am going to buy an elliptical when we move and I will just loose weight then.
I plan on eating my face off in Disney next week so clearly I don't care that much.
Leo was chatting in his room this morning after our alarm went off. our rooms are connected so he was literally lke 20 feet away from us. H thought maybe we could get busy while the baby was clearly awake. LOL yes nothing turns me on more then listening to my baby talk and wondering when it is going to turn to "come get me" cries.
One of my rats is dying. He is older and losing a ton of weight. The only food I could force him to eat is cheese, he turned down all his other favorites. I held him in my arms and bawled for an hour last night. Why do they have to have lifespans of only 2-3 years? It's bullshit, and the reason I'm taking a break from rat ownership after these two. I have had rats straight through for 6 years and I can't take much more crying. Doesn't help that people try to dismiss it and be all "It's only a rat. Get another one." Go fuck yourselves!
Pottery barn must be totally fucked in their heads if they think I am going to pay $21 in shipping for a duvet cover. (I fully realize they could care less but that's just ridiculous!)
I woke up an hour late and the first thing DH says was "well, I guess you shouldn't have turned off the alarm." No shit sherlock! I got myself ready and he went to get Jax ready and of course he had a blow out and there was poop everywhere, even in his hair so he had to be given a bath. Miraculously we were only 10 minutes late to work.
L says "gotfor" instead of "forgot" and it's the cutest thing ever and i want to squeeze the stuffing out of her when she does it. usually my husband walks her down the stairs in the morning, but today we were loading up the car for vacation so he carried a suitcase down alone. she stood at the top of the stairs and said "daddy! you gotfor ME!"

It snowed here last night and all I want to do is curl up and read a book while some delicious food cooks. Instead, I am working and eating oatmeal.
I have an addiction to smartwool socks and patagonia baselayers. I can't stop buying this crap and it's really taking a toll on my fun spending account. But winter is looming and I need some warm stuff (I keep telling myself).
I have a friend who is annoying the CRAP out of me lately with her co-dependency issues. I am extremely independent and it's hard for me to deal with this. I don't know what to do or say without hurting her delicate feelings. I feel bad for her, but man! You are an ADULT! You do not need to hang out with friends every single day. I would be fine with once every couple of weeks, honestly. So I'm trying to meet in the middle and do once a week, but she keeps pressing me to do things every day. I am sick of saying no and knowing she is upset about it, but dude...I really do not have time for that. OK that's more of a vent than a random, but I had to get it out.
I am so ready for it to be a long weekend - woohoo for almost working for the gov't and getting off all holidays including Columbus Day! It is actually my favorite because practically no one has off and I can get so many errands accomplished.
I am watching my 3yo nephew for the weekend. I might need you guys and wine to hold me and remind me why I want to have babies by Sunday night.
Vicky - Congrats to your H! How long of a process is it to get hired?
We have to take my dog to the vet on Monday. She's had a lot of issues recently and now she's walking crooked. I don't want to have to put her down, but I hate seeing her have issue after issue.

I'm really sorry about your pet. Those people who say that shit are assholes and do not know what it means to love something.

:heart:
You make my ovaries ache with the stories of your adorable kid.
Thanks Dernier and Walter. I just needed to get that out, so that I'm not always venting to H. I get that people mean well, but I'd never tell someone who just lost their pet to go get a new one.

OMG I want to kill. I have an annoying co-worker who sits about 4 cubes away from me. She is on a conference call, and is so loud. I seriously just walked to the other end of the room to see if I could still hear her and I could. I feel like I am sitting in her cube with her, and still need to cover my ears.
We got a cleaning service to come in biweekly. Yesterday was their first day and it was amazing to go home to a spotless house. I'm ecstatic about this!
I've been awake since 5:45 am and my kid is still sleeping. Why am I awake?
I've been thinking a lot about sleep and a newborn and I'm kind of freaking myself out. Sofia has always been a horrible sleeper. She's 16 months old and still doesn't sleep through the night, but she's getting better. Plus, she sleeps in until 8:30-9:30 every morning, so that means I can sleep in too. Lately I've been kind of freaking about how I'm going to have to wake up every hour, be up at 5:30 every morning, then there are the phases where they wake up from 3-6 am, then go back to sleep for an hour. I could be wrong. This kid could sleep a million times better than Sofia. I don't know. Im also stressing oout about how Sofia's going to feel about a new baby, and how i will make time for two, and how can i give the newborn as much attention and care that i gave sofia, without making sofia feel left out, or replaced. And then I feel guilty because I've worked so hard and been through a lot to make this baby that I almost feel like I have no right to feel anxious about this stuff.

I feel guilty sending DD off to school in a thunderstorm...since it scares the hell out of her. However, letting her stay home until it passed seems like it would just enforce her fear. I don't know.
DH is being a dick. We're supposed to have a date night tomorrow, and I'm not even looking forward to it.
Looks like work is going to be slow today. I think I might try to slip in a nap. (I work from home).

I met H on match. I did it on and off for a few years and for the most part, had a good time. I would so do the social outings they offer now if I were single and on Match.
