1. Ended up going to friend's daughter's grad party.  We had a great time, but daughter seemed quite fakey-nicey.  Maybe that's real now.  Maybe it's the meds

2. Had a great Sunday and Monday putzing around and hitting the parade.  I got interviewed for the local paper.  Last time that happened the misquoted and generally made me look like an ass

3. DH is in a funk and I don't know what to do.  He's tired and overworked and keeps complaining about having too much to do.  I try to do everything I can around the house and rarely ask him to do things.  He's working out regularly and we've been eating pretty healthy.  Sex is also regular.  I'm guessing he just needs a day off and to work through things himself.

4. I got an e-mail from someone I cut off 3 years ago.  Her last visit she was rude to darn near everyone- strangers, my friends, my husband, me.  We'd had some issues when I got married to the tune of me coming home from our honeymoon to an e-mail of divorce rates.  She was very rude when another friend got married too.

Everytime one of her friends got pg or had a baby she had some major tirade about them.  Things that they were doing wrong or she could do better, blah, blah.  I hadn't announced 6let IRL, but she say a ticker.  She sent an e-mail basically saying "Congrats.  You suck for not telling me." 

Anyway, I decided I didn't want all of the drama and never replied.  She sent a fb request a couple of years ago and I never replied.  She sent another one a couple of months ago and again I ignored her.  This weekend I got an e-mail.  We did have a lot of good times, and I do miss her, but I just don't think I want the drama.  Maybe she's changed?  If nothing else she probably does deserve an explanation right?  Nobody is probably still reading, but it did help to type this out.

    5. I can't find my Kindle and it's driving me batty.  I know it's in the house somewhere though.  They need a paging device like cell phones.

    1.  You're nicer than I am.  I'm glad you had a good time.  Was there a keg?

    2. Everyone loves a parade.  :)

    3. Does Mr. 6 have any vacation time he can take?  Can you guys get away for the weekend soon (even if it's with the kids)?  Or can you at least plan something for him to look forward to?  It sounds like he needs a break from work.

    4. I remember you talking about this person before.  What was the content of her e-mail?  Was it a 'hey what's up?' type thing?You could respond with "Hi.  Life is good.  I have 2 kids now.  Hope you're doing well." and see how she responds to that.

    The Mr is taking Thurs and Fri off, but he wants to get things done around the house.  We are going to a concert Friday daytime with the kids.  We're also doing the zoo soon too.  We have a gift cert for a night away sans kids that we're talking about doing in fall.

    Her e-mail was sort of I miss the good times, you were a good friend, I hope the family is well, and an apology.  I'll porobably re-enter cautiously.  E-mail and fb then work up to phone.

    Yaaaayyyyyyy for a/c!  It's been a beast lately.  What the heck at her kids not shopping for her sooner?

    how about giving your H a day off for Fathers' Day? Get him a movie pass, a restaurant certificate, and tell him to go see a movie and get some lunch, and just take a break.

    for friend, you can give her a chance, but proceed with caution - i like the idea of just sending a quick response that the family is fine, etc.

    Barbie- I've done that for DH.  He still has the golf cert I gave him last year.  He's a workaholic worrier.  I honestly don't think there is more I can do for him.

    Somebody needs to sigh her up for Meals on Wheels or something. That's terrible.
