Afternoon randoms

missyishere

It's nap time, and I don't feel like doing housework at the moment.  Anyone have some random thought, complaint, concern they'd like to put out there?

LuckyDad

It's still too hot outside.

My new siggy makes me just as happy as my strawberry siggy did.

It's beautiful here @luckydad.  Perfect for my morning run (in almost record time considering I took time off).

I just painted myself up like a drag queen.  I'm laffin.

“Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this ever.

Fall needs to hurry up, and get here already.

For me this means it will be washed but put on a clothes line for drying.

I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.

Did you try any @gwinnygirl?  Because that sounds as appealing as lutefisk.

Is everything all right @kiraliz2?

My 5-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Mom what would happen if you ran over a ninja?”

I had no answer for him. lol

DH is leaving the company he works for today. He will be find employment with another company (he has 2 offers) with ease, but I'm still nervous. DS needs new rainboots and sneakers, preschool tuition is due, I forgot to pay the electricity last month so now this month's bill is ENORMOUS, I have to sign DS for soccer right meow if he's to have a spot in class.... money is FLYING out the bank account. 

The IRS wants us to pay them an additional $405 for our 2011 taxes. We didn't claim the $3040 DH received in unemployment benefits because his claim was denied and we had to pay it all back. But since we paid it back in 2012 it's all fucked up. Try dealing with the IRS *and* WA State Employment Security at the same time. IT'S RALLY FUCKING HARD! 

I forgot to buy vodka just now at the grocery store.

Here's a random from my mom visiting this weekend. Her clothes are all insanely big. She's always been skinny and worn big clothes but she had some of her colon removed and lost even more weight. She's 5'6" and about 108 pounds and she had on a pair of shorts while visiting that were a size 10! I was like wtf are you insane? I told her she's a size 2, maybe 4 at the biggest and she said she's too old for those sizes. As if old people can't wear an appropriate size??

@SoDoMojo SD was singing Macklemore in the car the other day.  I really wanted to record her so you could see it lol.

I bet it was freaking adorable! DS and I went to a preschool play date thing the other day. He was running around singing "Can't Hold Us" at the other kids.

But did her husband still only come home on the weekends?

DD has a fever and has been an unreasonable monster the last 24 hours. Like screaming, drooling, can't-stop-crying-because-everything-is-wrong and as bad as I feel for her, I can't wait to get away from her.  My big escape tonight is the open house for DS at school where we sit on super small chairs and wait 1/2 an hour to find out his teacher.  Thats not until 7:45.

Today can be over, thanks.

CinemaGoddess

I had to work until 8:30 last night, so today I worked for a few hours then went out for breakfast and got my hair cut.  

virgin4lyfe

I forgot to do my homework for math because I thought every section was going to be due on fridays.
Nooooope.
Oops.

missyishere

I need my hairs cut rally bad @cinemagoddess.  My sister does my hair, but I have no time to see her since she works over an hour from me.

I'm so stressed I'm having ~10 heart palpitations per minute. WTAF.

ETA: per hour! not minute.

I was doing that for several days about a month ago.  I ended up going to the doctor about it even though it's something I deal with from time to time.  They said it's usually benign.  I NEVER go to the doctor, so that visit to find out nothing was wrong confirmed to me why I never go to the doctor.  I go and then look like a nut for going over something "benign."

I totally hate the paper tops & drapes at my OBGYN's office. I sweated through it today while waiting forever on the table and it was just gross. /embarrassing So glad that appointment is done for another year.

Isn't it every 3 years now?

I haven't gotten my hair cut in 5 or 6 months @missyishere, and it needed it.  Badly.  

Now it looks cute again instead of looking like a rat's nest.

@Libby1978 I'm under the care of a cardiologist, so I know it's not a big deal. It does bother me though. Palpitations just feel icky.

Oh, I know.  Believe me.  It just makes you feel bad when it happens a lot.  Very annoying.  The whole reason I went to the doctor is because I started worrying that it was happening so much for like 3 or 4 days. @kiraliz2

@CinemaGoddess This is about how often I get my hair cut.  I'm over 6 months at this point.  My hair looks really bad right now.  Of course Oliver has his cut once a month.  Something is very wrong with this picture I think.

I ate moose sausage and seal sausage when I was in Newfoundland.

I do not recommend seal sausage.

I would go so much longer between haircuts if I didn't have really dark brown hair with insane amounts turning gray.  I'm not ready to accept the gray yet.

You guys want to see something funneh?

DD is napping and I should be working on my homework or at least eating lunch. I looked and didn't find anything appetizing for lunch...we need to go grocery shopping badly! I think I am getting a migraine which is why I am putting off homework. Blurry vision. Check. Lower back pain. Check. Teeth hurt. Check. Yep those are my pre migraine symptoms. Ugh.

mydixiewrecked

A flying cricket got into my DD's room last night and flew right into her hair. It scared her enough that she slept with me. Thus keeping me awake most of the night from talking in her sleep,digging bony elbows in my back,snoring etc...

My baby decided 5:30 is a kickass time to get up for the day and I am sitting here not so patiently waiting for a Salted Caramel Mocha from Starbucks to be dropped off to me.

A lady in my neighborhood is apparently an extreme couponer, b/c on a local facebook page to buy/sell/trade she is selling cans of soup.  They can be bought individually for like .50.  I can't believe people actually buy them from her but that's a ridiculous amount of effort to make .50.

@morgann2010 Oh no! I hope kitty comes back on its own and you don't have to go searching once DH gets home!
