Morning

mrsconn23 · October 2014

This week is going to be cuh-razy.

We had a good weekend. If we *had* to move tomorrow, we could make it happen.

We took down DefConn's crib and he's in his pnp until his big boy bed is delivered. He's quite bent about it.

I hope that DefConn and I can get over the colds we have. I'm hoping mine doesn't turn into strep (again). I'll definitely be hauled off to the ENT for surgery if that happens.

Still on track to close tomorrow. IL's said they're off work and will be able to come schlep some stuff in their truck to the new house.

How was your weekend?

I'm at my parents today. We're going to the county fair. They called hospice for grandpa. I'm sad for grandma, but I really think hospice will give more comfort than trying to push him through therapies he doesn't want anymore.

Weekend was okay.

I spent Friday hiding out and licking my wounds. I don't know if I've hit my mid-life crisis early, or it's just all of a bunch of crap adding up, but I'm feeling at a crossroads, but I'm also reaching out and asking for help, so that's something.

Saturday I spent some time with a friend, 4 hours just talking and lunching and it's the most time we've spent together in probably YEARS. It was so nice. I needed it.

H and I are finally talking again, and as a clueless dude, he's just marching forward with house hunting and vacation planning. I don't have any insight that would change that, but I have to keep reminding myself of who I am, what I want, and remember I need a plan to get there.

I'm sorry, 6. That's tough all around.

I hope you don't freeze at the fair.

I'm sorry 6, that's hard to watch. Hospice is so nice if you're ready for it.

Weekend was good.

Saturday DH and I did some decor re-arranging in the bathroom (shelves, cabinet, towel ring, etc.). It looks much nicer.

I also made my first yarn wreath. It's black with three white ghosts in the bottom right corner (I know there's not really a corner on a ring) and a purple ribbon to hang. I think it's adonkable.

Sunday we got the girls' halloween costumes (see my small pity party on FB). Then we went to a first birthday party and then dropped off a baby shower gift.

We also bought a handful of xmas presents over the weekend. We have a great start.

ETA: We bailed on DD1's soccer game on Saturday. It was 42*, felt like 36*. That's just too darn cold to be running around. Plus she had just stayed home sick on Thursday.

Weekend was OK. Saturday, my mom and I toured a local mansion. My work hosted the event and it was free. They've begun a huge renovation project there and it's beautiful. It was really windy and cold so waiting in line for the shuttle was freezing but the rest was nice. Then we did lunch and some shopping. Saturday night, H and I went out to dinner. A performer we like was playing there and we always enjoy listening to him play.

Sunday, H decided to go into asshat mode. I don't even know what set him off but it continues today and I'm sick of the drama. Figure it out dude.

It's going to be a crazy week at work. Co-worker is transferring on and his last day in our office is Tues. I'm taking over one of his big studies and we'll see a bunch of patients this week.

6, I'm sorry for your family. That's tough. I hope hospice helps.

O-face, all I got is solidarity, sister. I feel the same way. I have no advice. I can just say it sucks.

The front and back yards are finally all clean. We took all the piled up recycling and one load to the yard waste dump. The second load the guy rejected b/c it was too big. We think it's b/c he didn't want to be bothered to help. They have a brush compactor there, he just didn't want to get out of his little house. DH is going to take it on Tuesday when it reopens and do it then. We figured they're probably more stickler on Saturday when everyone is trying to clean up. The truck bed was barely 1/4 full, this guy was just lazy. Next weekend, the garage!

Other than that, we had a lovely dinner with friends on Saturday night. Met some new people, laughed.

Weekend was good. Spent half of it at my ILs for the holiday and then yesterday I spent the day at the grocery store and then cooking. I made a huge vat of soup for my lunches and to freeze and I made a ton of beef stew for dinners, lunches and to freeze. Next week I'm making chili.

I love fall weather and the foods I make when it gets cold.

@mrs.conn23, healthy vibes for you and DefConn, and GL this week!

@6fsn, I'm sorry about Grandpa (and Grandma)

Had a really great weekend. I have no idea what switch flipped in Wooz's head, but she played in her game Saturday and did great--no crying or anything. She had a really great time and we were thrilled. Celebrated my mom's birthday on Saturday and DS's yesterday--took him to the children's museum and turned him loose in the little kid area. He was in his element, and wore himself out--when we put him in the stroller to take DD to see the dinosaur exhibit, he was asleep in minutes. And we got Booed (<-- linky), so that was fun. And when we went to Target to get stuff to Boo someone else, DD became infatuated with this cat-shaped candy dish. She spent her allowance on it, and has been sleeping with it in her bed, taking it in the car, etc. She's so weird!

DefConn funny...FIL has this Jesus plaque thing in his living room. DefConn was interested in it and wanted to look at it. FIL was telling him it's Jesus and what not.

DefConn: "I don't like him. He's not my friend." and "Can I kick it?"

He also repeated me after I said the F word.

Oy. At least his new daycare isn't Christian.

Also, some kid was bothering the shit out of him at daycare on Friday. He told the kid to leave him alone and told the sitter that the kid was bothering him (she intervened), but the kid wouldn't leave him alone. Finally, DefConn knocked him on his ass and said, "I TOLD YOU I wasn't playing!" My sitter was basically like, "I don't blame DefConn. That kid was annoying him and he gave him several chances." I'm going to miss the shit out of her.

Things are good on my end. Four days until the wedding and I've already planned the big meal I'm eating the day after.:)

Mom has reduced her craziness and I'm enjoying her company.

8 days to go, but I think I will make it.:)

This weekend was good. Friday night I had girl's night out- wine and yoga pants. I ended up drinking way too much and the 6:30 am wake up from DD was rough. Saturday we had 120 boxes of tile delivered and poor DH did all the lifting. Sunday we were lazy which was nice.

This week I need to buy about 10 gallons of paint and start working on painting ceilings and re-painting the downstairs bathroom. I also need to take DS shopping for some new shirts. His are just disgusting and most are getting too short. I think the kid had a growth spurt and naturally just got taller more than anything. It's impossible to find shorts now for him as well.

Friday and Saturday were low-key. Sunday we went to a Ren Fair and had a great time. But, I got sunburned on my face and neck. So my face is currently on fire. I made it all summer and through a beach trip without a sunburn (because I know I have to wear sunblock) and the first cold, crisp fall day, I get a sunburn. I don't know what I was thinking.

Saturday was the Celebration of Cultures, which is pretty much my Christmas. It's my favorite day of the year. SO MANY COLORS.

Yesterday, I mostly studied. We also met with a flooring guy to talk about refinishing our hardwood floors and laying laminate where there's shitty carpet right now. Less than a month until we move out for our renovation!!

Speaking of which, we're living in my parents' basement and I was like 'man it's gonna be kinda shitty being in a basement but w/e it's free' but my mom told me yesterday that's she's had a fucking bathroom and FIREPLACE installed for me, and that she's cleaned the whole place out and put desks and tables down there for us and that she's going to cook all the foods for us and do our laundry and I'm like jfc what is this utopia where food appears

Is your mom by any chance taking applications for additional children? Because I would like to sign up.

Yeah, she's been pretty much best mom since she had that brain tumor removed last year. An awesome mom, a mom like I've always wanted.
