Hi...It's Tuesday

And it's hitting me that I'm moving in about 3.5 weeks.  And we have to not only fit in a Labor Day camping trip, but DH is OOT Sun-Thu next week. 

Also, we need to decide on a new daycare for DefConn.  DH went and toured 2 yesterday.  He liked both.  I couldn't even look at the paperwork last night because it made me want to cry.  And my sitter just asked DefConn's last day and I'm actually crying now.  Ughhh...this part totally sucks. 

We have to go sit down with our finance guy tonight to sign some paperwork.  DH and this guy grew up together, so I'm sure there's going to be plenty of reminiscing going on.  Ha. 

In gossip news, my neighbor on the other side (not the crazy one...well she's crazy for other reasons) is getting a giant side-eye from me.  She's twice divorced (divorce #2 was final in May of this year).  She had a kid with each of her ex-husbands.  She's dating a guy with 4 kids by 4 different women.  He's there every night, but she swears he hasn't moved in.  But the kicker is, I went over to ask her if her older son (the kiddo's BFF) could come with us for our Labor Day camping trip.  Her BF said that HER SON already ASKED HIM for permission to go and SHE is basically deferring to HIM to make the decision for HER KID.  I'm glad I had my sunglasses on because they would have seen my eyes pop right out of my head.  Four men, yo.  Four fucking men (and women).  I feel bad for her older kid when we move.  My H has been one of the only consistent and postive male influences in that kid's life. 


Re: Hi...It's Tuesday

  • Is your neighbor by any chance dating the dude from the two-page thread?

    I'm sorry about DC.  Breaking up is hard to do.
  • We took DD1 to kindergarten today.  It's a good thing my sunglasses are big.  She did exactly the same thing she did on the first day of preschool last year - turned to us, waved and said "BYE!"

    I've got a dentist appt in a while and the ILs are picking up DD2 for the day so DH and I are alone until school is out.  Is it sad that we're excited to eat lunch together alone?
  • DH met our sitter because they were in the same class together in college (DH did an adult studies program and graduated in 2011), so she's been in our lives a long time.  She's going to miss DefConn a lot.  He's one of her faves. 

    Yes, my neighbor is seriously a hot ass mess.  OH! and she HAS known her BF for many years because they went to HS together.  This is getting curiouser and curiouser.  ;)

    Also, I had to put DefConn's car seat back together after cleaning it out yesterday (DH left it on the garage floor last night and there was ants all over it, feasting on cracker bits. It was the best day of those ants lives).  I seriously feel like I conquered some amazing feat because I got that thing back together.   Putting a car seat back together can be harder than solving a Rubik's cube.

    car seats are evil.  EVERY time we take mine out (mines the easier one to get in/out} to put in someon else's car (my sister's) I use all my swears.  And mine is filthy rightnow

    Buffy spend yesterday @ the zoo w/ the ILs, looks like a blast.  It was good, since it bought me more sleep time and I have *not* yet completely cleared the weekend's migraines.
  • *yawn*  Morning.  I'm thinking coffee is the best thing ever.  EVVERRRR.

    Job is in a weird place right now, and with H and my conversation yesterday going like this:

    "Well, I want my probationary period to be over (H) and then we sell the house, think about getting pregnants and by then I'll make more $$ and maybe we'll approach your job situation".

    HOLY FECK-I am really excited about not working and staying at home with little life suckers.  What is my life coming to?

    Of course like all things---it's about 1 year -18 months away, but still---that's nuts.

    I drank the norwex koolaid last night. I ordered some cleaning clothes. I'm shopping for clothes for our family pics...in October.
  • Oh and one of H's female coworkers told him she's pregnant the other day.  He said it was weird because he's only been told from his sisters, and I was a little stroppy about it inside---drama llama moment (because I haven't had that opportunity).

    My resentment is growing y'all.  I need to let.it.go.
  • It was not a restful night in our household.  We had severe thunderstorms and the weather radio went off after I just had fallen asleep.  Then, at 2:45 AM, our smoke alarm started.  We were pretty sure it we have a defective detector.  It had gone off randomly about 2 weeks ago.  Maintenance had checked it out, fanned a magazine across it and declared that we should leave the bathroom fan on while we showered.  So we called the on-call maintenance number and talked to one of the guys.  Of course the alarm stopped as he called back.  He said if it went off again, he'd come and replace it (it's a sealed system and not one you can disable).  We agreed and went to bed.  45 mins later it went off again.  We called and the guy came over and changed it out.  It was going off in the box as he was going out the door.  Back to bed again and up for work an hour later.  The nice thing about renting is having on-call maintenance, but what a pain.  I might need an extra tea this morning.

    the stroppy 'this isn't fair' is a reasonable way to feel...because it's not fair. I mean, we have to all get over it eventually, but having bitch-eating-crackers moments help us shake the overall angst off better than pretending the feeling isn't there. I'm sucking down iced coffe this morning...but I discovered yesterday that a can of pop fits *perfectly* in an epty box for 12 dry erase markers. I found a new way to keep my beverage of choice out of sight :)

    LOL.  Necessity really IS the mother of all invention.
  • Morning! I woke up to a decent storm this morning and it was hell getting out of bed. DH took the kids to daycare and said it was pretty flooded- it took him a hour to get to work and it's normally a 20 min drive. Today we are going to a tapping party at a brewery. My dad brewed some beer there, and he's having a little party. And that's about it for us boring people.
