I never start this...but I've got one this morning.
I woke up early this morning and packed everything for a trip to the zoo(2 hours away), just me & DS. We were supposed to meet up with a friend & her 2 LOs that are visiting from Alaska. I get everything loaded in the car & friend texts me & says the storms are now supposed to stick around(where supposed to be gone by lunch-when we were gonna meet!).
So, we rescheduled for tomorrow.....STUPID WEATHER. This is gonna be the 4th time that I've tried to go to the zoo in a month but the weather is being a b****.

Oh no! I hope the weather holds out for you too, I love the zoo and so does Maya!
Mine is about my FMIL. She is the worst with pets and it's really hit it's last straw with me. Being a huge animal lover, I know a lot about them and I have a deep appreciation and respect for all animals especially household pets and I know I have no control over her actions but it really gets to me to the point I can't stand to be around her or in her home.
She is just always praising herself for how amazing her animal training skills are and how she is so great at picking good animals to be pets, then she turns around and does nothing but b*tch about them and in the end get rid of them. This has been going on as long as I can remember but most recently they had this great dane named Dexter and he was so sweet and loving and gentle and well behaved, then they moved 2 years ago and he was a bit mixed up but started to settle in within a few months. Then around the same time he was finally settling they got another dog, a retriever (actually FI's sister got it and never took care of it so it became by default their mom's dog). Suddenly I noticed Dexter was constantly being locked outside or in his crate in the basement, he was never allowed upstairs anymore, he was never played with or loved and he was always being yelled at by FMIL (for no reason!!) so naturally he started to act out, pooping in the driveway (giant great dane sized piles) and pooping and peeing in the basement, barking at everyone in the household and neighbors, breaking through the electric fence and running after people who walked down the road, when he would get upstairs he would destroy the upstairs, etc. Instead of listening to me and the trainer that I had her call, and showing him compassion and working with him... FMIL just became purely mean to him, hitting and kicking him when he was in her way and ultimately giving him away on craigslist.
After Dexter she decided they needed a new cat, so they got one and it got KTFU and since having the kittens FMIL doesn't like the cat anymore and just got rid of her (because you know it's the cat's fault it got KTFU *eyeroll*) oh but she's keeping 2 of the kittens! Oh and they just got a new dog, another golden retriever. The house is barely big enough for the first one and she isn't anywhere close to full grown yet. And they're house is filled with fleas... I am going to lose it the first time she b*tches about something pet related, which she's coming over tonight and I'm sure she will.
Sorry for the massive rant
That sucks about the weather.
Apparently my debit card was used to buy lots of stuff at a computer/video game store in California. I live in Germany. So, unless DH is lying to me and some how made a trip to the States instead of being somewhere in a farmer's field, my debit card number was stolen. I have canceled my card and now have to wait up to 2 weeks for a new one. And since DH isn't at home, I don't have access to his debit card and now must find a way to get money out or use a credit card for everything.
my read shelf:
That really stinks! I hope you get it sorted out really quick!
Baby Boy #2 is on the way!
Boy, there are some bad ones this week! Mine are about my household situation. Our older kids have the dishes as a chore, but were so busy turning around to stare at the TV that a guest of ours got up and helped them because he got so frustrated. And they didn't wash LO's cup that had milk in it.
I can't for the life of me get these people (can you tell I'm thrilled?) to do their part of keeping up with this house, DH included. I would love to set a good example, especially for LO, but it feels like if I do all the things I should do, all I'll be teaching her is that moms do everything. It makes me angry that I can't even get DH on the same page.
