I'm watching the news and they are talking about Anthony weiner and I swear they are trying to see how many times they can say Weiner. It is cracking me up. Yes I am 12 years old

Last night I had a rather large margarita at Taco Tuesday.  When we got home I told my H I was pretty tipsy, so he ended up putting Abby to bed, letting me "pass out" and got all the lunches/coffee ready for today.  It felt sooo good to get that extra sleep.  And I don't feel bad - he can think I was tipsy all he wants!

I'm thinking about going down to four days a week at my job.  I hate my job, I hate being away from Abby, but don't know if we can swing it financially.  It will be about $600 less a month, but I'm to the point where I don't care anymore.

We bought a new (to us) car, which came with a dvd player installed.  When we got it, I planned to only use the dvd player on long trips....but I have used it every single time I've had the kids in the car.  When it's on, there's no whining, fighting, or incessant questions.  The sound of silence is absolutely decadent:).

I wish I wouldn't have gotten my hair chopped off.  It looks ok but I really prefer it (and me) with longer hair.

I have no bladder control when I sneeze.

My allergies have been awful when the sun is out. Last Saturday I went through about 4 outfit changes from peeing myself.  D thought it was hilarious and told me I should look for a coupon for depends.

CNN has a headline right now that says "Democrats leave Weiner to roast by himself," and I totally thought of you.

I had a tooth ache monday morning and I made a dentist appt.  This will be first appt in probably 10+ years. I have no excuses. I've just been lazy.

*I saw and heard my first Justin Beiber song last week. I was not impressed.

*I never decorated my daughters room. Our house came with a girl's purple and green room, so we left it that way. I've only added purple curtains.

*Good things come from being pregnant, but I physically hate being pregnant and have cried almost every day for the last 3 months.

I had a beer at "vendor" lunch - but we have a concert at work at 3pm so I figure the afternoon is shot anyway. Huzzah!

I'm glad we're doing this today, because for once I have a lot of them and I will most likely forget them by Friday.

* Every time I'm driving south on the I-5 express lanes and I'm coming up on the ship canal bridge I giggle.  The main north & south lanes come together to form the upper part of the bridge and the express lanes go under the main highway.  I always feel a little like I'm driving into a giant, concrete vagina.

* We used our fire pit for the first fire of the summer this last weekend.  We went through the (small) stack of firewood that we had under the deck.  The last log that DH threw on had a large slug on it and once it was in there no one wanted to go in after the slug, so it met its doom.  After a while I made DH turn the log over because I really couldn't handle watching it ooze and melt anymore.  It was pretty disturbing.  Even now I can't quite get the image out of my head.

* I get annoyed when people use the word "everyday" because 90% of the time they're using it wrong.

* Yesterday, while stuck at a stop sign and unable to go because the oncoming traffic was too steady, the people behind us kept honking impatiently.  After the 5th or 6th honk I (without thinking) flipped off the driver behind us.  DH then said that it must have been people 2 or 3 cars behind us that were doing the honking.  I felt AWFUL.  I just gave the finger to some poor lady for no reason.  Hopefully she understood.  OH!  And I wasn't even driving!  I was pretty ashamed of myself.

I understand... We would only use it on long car rides too. But Hailey LOVES it and is the only time she watches TV (Movies). So we made a deal with her she only gets to watch a movie in the car if she keeps it dry all day. (Not wetting her pants) Now she is 99.9% potty trained and knows she gets to watch movies. But it is also way more of pleasent drive for all of us!

I will now always see a giant, concrete vagina when I make that drive. Thank you.

When I shower at night... I steal my daughter lavender sleepytime bath wash.

A gal I know through friends has suddenly decided she is a photographer. She had her husband create a website for her, she started a FB page, and is constantly self promoting on her personal FB page. All that is fine however...her photos are a.w.f.u.l! She has no training, and no experience. The pics she has on her website are of her own children and they aren't even good for an amateur photographer. It's another case of someone that thinks owning a DSLR camera makes them a photographer. My confession is I really, really want to ask her on one of her posts about her experience, training, etc knowing full well she has none. I'm not usually snarky like that but her constant promotion and referring to herself as a photographer is driving me INSANE! I feel guilty that I'm even tempted to be such a biatch.

-DH and I had some sessy time last week and I had not 1, but 2 O's!  It was AWESOME!

-Last Friday was my b!tchy co-workers last day, she quit to stay home once her baby is born.  I actually danced in my office I was so happy.

-I have an enormous pile of clean laundry sitting on the floor downstairs.  It needs to be folded and put away but I haven't gotten around to it.  At least I vacuumed before I dumped it all on the floor.  I needed the baskets for the extra dirty laundry that still needs to be washed.

-On the days that it has been nice recently, I let Lucy run around outside without a diaper on.  I figure her little fanny could use some fresh air too.  Plus, if she pees I can just hose down the deck. I don't let her in the sandbox though, that's just mean.

I miss my furbabies and am excited to see them when we get home... But I really am enjoying not dishing out 14 meals a day, scooping 3 giant litterboxes, cleaning up hairballs or pee from the semi-incontinent cancer dog, and playing "keep the baby away from the pets" all day long. Also, I'm annoyed with DH for not sending two quick, important emails that should have been sent weeks ago and I'm being a snot about it.

Our mower is broken, so 2 weeks ago I borrowed the neighbors. He's a super weird but nice guy. He mowed his grass today and I found myself a little dissapointed that he didn't just mow ours too, or at least offer it to me while he had it out. We have tiny yards and he's my only neighbor. Plus part of our yards touch, but he stopped at the property line. I don't know why I would expect this, but if the situations were switched, I would have mowed his. What a dumb thing to be dissapointed by.

back in my early 20's I "partied" a lot. I figured odds are I will run into a ex hookup every once in a while since I have lived in the same general area since I was 16. Well guess what ex odd hookup and I work together! Thankfully my name has changed and back then he was drunk all the time and my name doesnt ring any Not sure how I feel about that though. I would like to think I am not that forgettable but yet......

 

my mom went tto goodwill today and picked up the boys a big bag of shorts. no biggie most of thier clothes are from there. Problem is my moms taste and mine differ castly and even though I shop goodwill i too have standards!

DH finally got his massage license, so he has been practicing on me a lot lately. He told me he'd give me a massage tonight when he got home from an evening training. I told him that I would reward him with Stella time because AF is late. He got a big grin on his face. Well, AF just came about 5 minutes ago. I am thinking that I won't tell him until after I get my message. Is that totally evil of me?

I bought Connor a baby doll today. He likes to copy what I do with Sydney. My hubs wasnt thrilled but I think it's cute.

- MIL gave BIL a cinnamon roll to take to our house and eat before bed. No way in hell was I going to let a seven year old eat that much sugar thirty minutes before bed! I let him have half, since MIL promised him he could eat it. *face palm* I told him I would put the rest in the fridge. He woke up and wanted the other half for breakfast. I told him that it spoiled overnight... but I really ate it when baby woke me up at 2am. It was delicious too, and MIL feeds him too much junk food. I don't really feel bad. 

-  I tell Dh that I need to "take care of business" (go #2). I complain that I am backed up and may be a while. He understands, and is sympathetic as from week 6-20 I don't think went for up to a week at a time. In reality though, little BIL is just driving me nuts and its the only way I can get some alone time! He has been here overnight, and all day for almost 10 days in less than three weeks. I can't stand whining, and he is constantly whining about something. 

 ETA. I feel like a b!tch and a complainer after re-reading that! My hormones have been uncontrollable lately... thank you pregnancy.

I take the whole day off of work to go to my doctor appointments.  Even though they're 5 minutes long.  (I end up working at DH's shop for most of the day though but it's better than going to work - I hate my work right now, love my job but there's no work to do so I sit there 90% of the time)

I've only got 4 weeks left of being pregnant (well, you know, give or take) and I've been a trooper...up until now.  NOW I plan on playing the pregnancy card as often as possible. 

I'm sad that this is my last baby.  Really sad.  But I don't know how to bring up that discussion with DH.  This wasn't a planned baby - a welcomed one - but not planned.  And DH is supposed to make an appt with the urologist.  He hasn't yet.  A second unplanned baby would be bad.  But I daydream about it none the less.   I just need to call and make DH's appt. for him

I totally judged the car parked next to me at Walgreens today for having 2 really old carseats. One was an old 3 point harness the other was the kind with a pull down bar in the front. On one hand I feel guilty because I am very much am to eaqch his own kind of person but on the other come the eff on and and get some safe carseats for your kids.

Sarah's birthday is in a week and I have done exactly zero planning for a party. I'm not even entirely sure what day and time we're going to have it. I just am not into kids birthday parties.

Sometimes I put the kids in their seat belts in the car in the garage and I run in to get one more thing and I seriously take my time, and maybe finish loading the dishwasher without anyone bugging me or drink the rest of my coffee...

This was going to be my confession: I don't know how it could be used wrong. My other confession is that I always say I don't want to take W anywhere to get his hair cut because they will mess it up. So I cut it myself and always mess it up anyway. I cut it tonight and it looks horrific. In 1 week he's going to spend 10 days with his cousins and grandparents so I won't have to be annoyed by it until he's back and it's grown out.

People use "everyday" when they mean "every day."

ok: I check my email every day.
not ok: I check my email everyday.
- email is checked each day; every describes day, two separate words

ok: These are everyday shoes.
not ok: These are every day shoes.
- shoes that are for daily wear; an one-word adjective describing the shoes

When saying that something happens every day it needs to be 2 words.  The word everyday means common, ordinary, etc.  (For example: Driving is an everyday activity.  I drive every day.)

Ugh.  I sound like a pretentious ass.  Sorry.

yeah, I actually know what the two options are... I just haven't ever seen people say "everyday" when they mean "every day".   So I thought there was some other issue like saying something was an everyday purse but really meaning something else?   I guess I could see people writing "every day" all the time and just not knowing that "everyday" is also a word.  I haven't ever seen anyone do it the opposite - that's weird that it's common enough to bug someone.

I don't see it much, either; not enough to bug me, at least.  It makes me think of when someone uses "when" "whenever" interchangeably, "Whenever i was in Europe last summer."  It's not common, and it's not a big deal, but man it bugs me when i hear it (one person i know IRL says it all.the.time)

I wasnt offended and it wasnt at you. I always feel that way when someone posts a spelling error or punctuation post. I am a really really bad speller and my grammer flast out stinks. I am a very smart person but for some reason never grasped all the damn rules our language has. if anything I learn a lot from everybody's posts! LOL
