I was hugely pregnant and on bedrest but I got up and voted anyway in the last presidential election. I voted early and still had to wait in line for like half an hour.

I'm sure it was miserable, but I kind of love when people have to wait in line to vote because it means there are a lot of people voting.

Or a poorly run polling place, but I'd rather imagine a shit load of people voting.

Like a woman followed me around two isles of the grocery store the other day telling me to adjust my sleeping child's neck because she was in pain.

Did you backhand her?

I feel the candidate I want for governor won't win, because Texas is annoying and loooooves electing the fucking worst governors (sorry if that offends anyone). Still staying hopeful though and doing my part.

They generally are the absolute worst.

I was having a major freak out yesterday over not being able to find my ring. I tore this damn house apart. Turns out my stupid H thought it would be funny to hide it on me. I was not amused.

ready-or-not

Just had a long conversation with MH. He was worried about where we're at, or me I guess, because I've been so stressed out since I returned to work. I can usually handle myself pretty well but I have admittedly been having a rough time lately.

Anyways, one of his comments was that he has woken up & seen me texting someone in bed after everyone else has gone to sleep & he wanted to know if there was someone else I was talking to.

I had to literal LOL bc what he has actually seen me doing is catching up on the drinking & random threads here lol

I had a "friend" email me yesterday asking why mutual friends are mad at her. I emailed her back basically saying that because there are several rumors going around, I wanted no part in what was going on. Now her husband is calling and texting me despite me not answering. WTF, people???

Oh, and some bitch saw me changing DD's poopy diaper in the back of my car yesterday and yelled at me about how I would make her sick and it was cold (or 55...) and I was cruel. She made a big show of writing something down. I assume my license plate? I'm trying to convince myself that if she reports me nothing will happen, but I'm still nervous. Plus someone screaming that I'm a shitty mom kind of sucked.

fuck that bitch! Seriously, I've changed plenty of diapers on my fornt/back seat. Sometimes you have no other options and you're not goint to let the LO just hang out in a poopy diaper and that woman should mind her business. I'm sorry she made you feel bad.

ready-or-not

@RondackHiker‌ I am the queen of changing my kids diaper in inappropriat places. Sometimes its just not feasible to drag everyone into the store bathroom just to use their changing station. Screw that lady.

Is everyone (who can) voting today?

I voted yesterday. Our races are very tight here in Colorado, we could go either way today. I'll do just about anything to keep that douche bag Cory Gardner out of office. I've spent the past couple of weeks researching all of the candidates, amendments, and propositions. I feel pretty good about all of my choices.

I have a friend who doesn't know anything about the candidates, amendments, or propositions, and is voting today. She says she doesn't care because none of this affects her. I might be trying to talk her out of voting today.

I've had a crap morning. I forgot my badge at home so I had to turn around to get it and was 30 minutes late getting here. I think my moon time might be coming and I'm annoyed at my shit being all unpredictable. I'm on CD31 and last time it was like 92 or something. I'm hoping the rest of the day is mellow and I can go to they gym and vote later with no major issues.

Now that is just scary. If you are going to vote, I'd like to think people are somewhat informed about the candidates...but I also realize so many just vote on party lines or because they see a lot of lawn signs, etc. No real understanding of who stands for what.

In my mind, if you are stupid enough to think that what the representative from your area does doesn't affect you in any way, you shouldn't be voting, period. They make the laws that you have to abide by, how does that NOT affect you?

I hate when women say "this is why I don't have many female friends."

9 times out of 10, you are the issue...not the other females.

Ugh I have a friend who gets mad at her poor boyfriend for the most ridiculous things and starts fights over nothing. If I gently tell her my opinion and try and help her see the other side of the story she gets mad. She is ignoring me today because of this. I really don't have time for these games anymore

I can live with this. I know I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I'm opinionated and have strong feelings on some pretty polarizing topics that I'm not afraid to share. I have a small group of core friends who share my values. And quite frankly I'm at a point in my life where I've accepted who I am and I'm not willing to change for the sake of making friends. I've been that girl that everyone "liked" and I'm over it.

I don't get why that would keep you from having female friends though? My lady friends would never ask me to change who I am in order to be liked. Maybe you need to pick better people to assoicate with if that's the case.

We had tortellini last night and it was amazing.

I warmed it for lunch and it's disgusting. DS and DD are also refusing it.

This is disappointing.

Military life is weird. I can't imagine having gone through it without the support of other dependents.

when I finally worked up the nerve to mention it to him (because I was afraid he would be pissed that I misplaced it) he goes "oh, you do still love me, or at least you still love my jewelry.  It's on top of the mirror.  I was going to pretend to be pissed that you lost it."

I almost committed a murder last night.

I have just completed researching the curriculum for 3rd grade in Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts for Texas. Printed them. Located comparable worksheets. Printed those. Found comparable science, social studies, and language arts learning games consistent with the Texas curriculum so as DD can practice and have information to study from as well.

Add home schooler to my bag of tricks.

Sadly this makes me feel better about not having many female friends because this sounds like he'll on earth to me.

This might get me flamed, but it's why I don't usually have very many military spouse friends. Maybe it's just H's career field, but it seems to happen a lot amongst the dependents. I'm intentionally not involved in any of the sanctioned spouse groups, etc. 

That is not a fair statement to make. There are just as many crazy bitches in the general population as there are amongst military spouses.

Yup.  A being an officer's spouse does come with duties and responsibilities (depending on the rank).  That's just how it is.  Same as the spouse of a high level exec has responsibilities related to required functions, etc.

My coworker just said "bye Jackie" instead of "bye Felicia." She is so hip with the trends. I'm dying.

Don't mind if I do!  Yum.

I voted.

That's awesome and hilarious!

I feel that my dad would probably not get TH to autograph a picture so that he could give it to me as a Christmas gift.  He'd be all "blah blah blah you're in your 40s blah blah blah I'm embarrassed for you...blah blah blah"  Oh wait, that's just my internal monologue.

About to go into a 2pm meeting, but serious question -- if we did maybe a combo Benny and TH fangirl thread, do you think we'd have enough participation to keep it going?  I would enjoy it, but our numbers are much lower than the 1D folks, I think.  Is it worth a shot?

Just opened a 2 piece mini starburst and both were red.  YES!

I opened several of these the other night looking for 2 red ones.  I was beginning to think it didn't exist.  You probably found the only one ever.

I got two pink last night.  I wasn't impressed.

Red Starbursts are gross. I dislike all cherry flavored candies.

This. Best is pink, then yellow, orange,

Yup.

I'm okay with orange and pink, but red is my favorite.  No to the yellow.
