Heffalump · August 2016

I could not log in to TK for the longest time this morning, it was annoying.

What's goin' on today? What's on tap for the weekend?

Turns out swim is closed next week, and they're graduating the kids this weekend. DS won't miss his little promotion ceremony after all, yay. He has a birthday party afterward, and then I'm on the fence between painting Wooz's room or just piddling around the house and playing with the kids. Mr. Heff is completely wiped out this week, so I'm not sure if painting is the best idea, as much as I'd like to get it done.

S/O birthdays, getting the ball rolling on DS's party. The pumpkin farm where I'd really like to have it may or may not have a restroom available--I'm waiting to hear back. With 3 y.o.s, that it definitely a dealbreaker, sadly. Fingers crossed for a restroom!

My brother texted last night, and his fiancee will be stateside at the end of this month, and they are flying down here for one night to see my mom and me. Squee!

Morning! It's tattoo day...I'm excited and nervous. It's also the not so surprise birthday party for my bestie so that will be fun!

This weekend we're going to see a friends band play and then I have a breakfast drop off at 6:30 Sunday. But because of that, they're paying me double time! Two more people get to eat at the wedding.

Speaking of weddings, I'm having wedding fatigue. I miss my money and being able to spend it the way I want. I'm returning an adorable $80 dress today because that's money that could be better spent. I've been pushing back my hair appointment as long as possible so my red is now pink and my grays are torturing me. FWP, I know, and the wedding is worth it, but I miss being frivolous and irresponsible.

MissKittyDanger · August 2016

@Heffalump I vote just relaxing this weekend

@kimmiinthemitten what are you getting as tatt?? I had same issue saving for wedding last year and saving for our place this year, I just miss spending money on me lol

Not much this weekend. It's been brutally hot with humidex this week, so neither of us have slept great. I'm hoping the rain today will break some of the heat enough to cool down our place. Not long until we're out of that hot box!!
{no A/C, all afternoon sun, thick carpets. fml!}

Tonight H, my mum and I are going to see "Suicide Squad" My mum says she feels weird being a third wheel. I told her to stfu and just come to the damn movie! She's acting like she's intruding on a date. I told her if it was a date, I wouldn't invite her lmao
Since I'm off early, her and I are meeting at the mall that's a block away and looking for dresses.
Beginning of September is a wedding for my coworker. My other coworkers and I are trying to coordinate. They did that for my wedding - specifically not dressing in same colour as my bridesmaids - and called themselves my "work bridesmaids" lmao! Since my coworker isn't having a wedding party, we've decided we're unofficial bridesmaids lol
ANYWAYS! So I'm hunting for a dress before the movie.

Otherwise low-key weekend. Saturday is a food truck rally near us, so we'll go there.

missJeanLouise · August 2016

Sounds like a good weekend to just chillax @Heffalump.

I am with you 100% @kimmiinthemitten. I was so looking forward to having my spending money back. I hit my savings goal last month and this was going to be my first extra ME paycheck in over a year. I had already spent it in my head too, lol.

Two nights ago, my crazy, drunk, ex-stepmom called my mom. She is prone to doing that every once in a while. She is crazy and I don't like to speculate what goes on her head but she thinks she had some influence in my sister and my life and has some sort of unhealthy attachment to my family. She and my dad have been divorced for 15ish years, she never calls him. The worst part, in her crazy ranting she said things that make me think she is stalking us (my mom, me, my sister) again. I told my mom she needs to get a protection order against this bitch because this has gone on long enough.

I am in desperate need of a do-over from a poor exhibition of adulting yesterday. Naturally, because I handle stress with all the grace of a king cobra fighting a mongoose, my brain feels like it's about to self-destruct today from being angry at myself and anxiety about Monday, since I found out this morning that my boss moved up the deadline for this presentation I need to make (wasn't supposed to be til next month!!!), and I'm so overwhelmingly unprepared that I can't even focus on one tiny aspect of the project to start working on it today.

It feels like there's a hurricane in my brain, and the shingles of the roof of my mind are being ripped off and away and I'm stuck in the basement, trying to ride out the storm, wondering if the house will still be standing when the storm passes.

We were supposed to go to a local brewery this weekend, but I suspect I'll be locked in my office trying to knock out this presentation that I was only 1/3 of the way through researching.

Also, DH pissed me off last night when he called me "immature" and "irrational" and told me I "need to grow up" because he got pissy with me when I pointed out that the week he wants to go away with his friends to the beach happens to be the week I'm moving out to start my new job, and no, I can't take the dogs with me, and I can't push my start date out a week, so apparently that means "The wife won't let me go" so now I'm the bad guy because of a discussion we haven't even had yet about a trip I'm not actually stopping him from going on.

Naturally, I said some things I shouldn't have in response so now we're giving each other the cold shoulder. Which is simultaneously killing me and making me angrier.

It has to be the cluster that this new job has turned our summer into, because in all the years we've been and lived together, we have never fought or said these kinds of things to one another. It's not an excuse, but since October, it's just been one massive life event after another (buying a house, moving for the third time in less than a year, getting married, transfers and new jobs, relocating...), and there hasn't been any time in between to just breathe...

I know I can't handle any more of this kind of stress, so it must be getting to him, too.

Man, I always feel so much better after talking it out. We probably need to visit all the local breweries this weekend. I think we'll do that.

kimmiinthemitten · August 2016

@MissKittyDanger I'm getting this (but he's softening the hard edges of the anchor) on my lower right back. I've had an anchor obsession for a long time, and was about to get an anchor tattoo when they became trendy and changed my mind. Now I don't care - people who know me know it's been my thing for a while now.

CharmedPam · August 2016

I am SO glad I only have 1/2 a day today at work. Everyone here is annoying the piss outta me at the office today. In fact, I may duck out before the 4 hours I'm "required" to put in.

@kimmiinthemitten, my wedding is in Nov and I'm also waiting last minute to die it! I feel your pain. Plus, I want to match the extensions because I have very thin hair. I also noticed some grey the other day, ack.

edit: Gray or grey? I think the E is a British/Canadian thing right?

MissKittyDanger · August 2016

@kimmiinthemitten nice

Is there any meaning otherwise to your tatt/anchor obsession? First tatt, or one of multiple? I'm nosy. lmao
Personally, I have 5

It will be my fourth tattoo, but 5th time under the gun. I have the stereotypical $50 18 year old tattoo - a heart with vines (wtf?). Then I got the big dipper on my back (sorority thing - had it fixed last summer) and I have the sign for I love you on my right wrist (Deaf parents).

I like the symbolism of strength. I was raised without much, and having handicapped parents (my mom especially who is also blind) I always felt "anchored" to home. My whole story is pretty cray and I took a lot of risks to get out of the trailer park and to where I am so I like the symbolism of the rope holding the anchor turning into birds.

My best friend is getting more flowers because she likes flowers.

What are yours?

MissKittyDanger · August 2016

@kimmiinthemitten I love that reasoning

And your tatts sound neat!

Right side near hip; Star chain - like a family tree. Dad, mum me. If I have kids, I'll add them too. All birthstones.

Left side rib cage and side; quote - friend of mine passed away 6yrs ago. One time on MSN, she was bored and asked me to tell her a story so I did. She saved it and used one of the quotes in a graphic. When she passed, I used the quote she had and got it tattooed
"They danced on the stars and talked to the moon"

Left foot; lightning bolt - I'm getting a tatt for my parents individually. This was for my dad cuz he had a bolt on his hardhat at work for a few reasons. {side note; I had some girl argue with me it was Harry Potter ... *sigh*}

Right forearm; Virgo - This is actually the closest my H and I will get to a matching tatt unless we have a kid. He has a tatt in same area and we got them done together.

Back, from shoulder to below bra strap; Treble Clef Cat - before my dad passed, my mum and I were having him redesign a tatt. We liked the idea from online but didn't like certain things.
He passed in April, we got this in June afterwards. My mum's is on her calf and mine is a beast that takes up all my back and needs to be reshaded but I'm avoiding it lol

I saw somewhere how to remember.
Grey = grEH Brit/Canadian
Gray = grAy American

MissKittyDanger · August 2016

@AtomicBlonde It definitely sounds like the both of you are stressed out

Hopefully you guys get a chance to relax and breath soon!!

I hate when my H uses "wife won't let me" even as a joke, or the times he goes out with his friends they joke he has a curfew. Uhm ... no we have plans the next day and he already hates waking up early. None of you have to wake him.

Yes you guys should hit all the breweries. A fun day out together drinking is what helped FI and I when I wanted to send him back to China. And then you can have stress free make up sex!

charlotte989875 · August 2016

I'm feeling blah today. Not good, not bad just tired and lacking motivation. The start of the semester is looming large and I just don't feel like doing anything.

AuntFlo · August 2016

My weekend plans suck. We're going to a funeral tomorrow, 3 hours away, for an old friend of DH's, that he hasn't seen in at least 8 years. I have all kinds of selfish and petty reasons that we don't need to go and I'm annoyed with DH about it, but will suck it up. I guess.
We had planned to spend Sunday at a pool, but there has been an outbreak of chlorine-resistant bacteria/gross stuff in our area... I'm already grossed out by pools in general and can normally just push it out of my mind to enjoy myself. Not with this stuff. Plus, I cuurently have no health insurance, so getting sick is not an option.
So, yeah. Great weekend ahead. I'm a total Negative Nancy today.

MissKittyDanger · August 2016

And now the rain is suppose to happen all Saturday, looks like no food truck rally

missJeanLouise · August 2016

My flight is delayed until 1:35am. But it is recommended I don't leave the airport because that could change. And this stupid bar won't put on the steelers games.... i don't know which I am more upset about.

princessbuttercup09 · August 2016

This Friday is pretty cool. I'm officially 50 days out from our big day! I can't believe it's almost here. Tomorrow is my last day waitressing for the summer, and I am so happy to be done. I'm celebrating my last Sunday before school starts with drinks and karaoke. It is definitely needed and I can not wait.

When you're the most recent comment, TK shows your name as "princessbutt" and that makes me LOL. Also, I'm 12.
