I am walking out of work today at 3. We are going out of town today and I need to get some stuff done.
H and I also sat down this week and decided it's best I don't go back to work after the baby and try and find a new job. My job is okay at times, but 80% of the time I hate it and I could cry every single day I leave.

HOWEVER, I dwelled way too long on the fact that some people now know DS name. Like all day long......
'I loved you for a thousand years and I will love you for a thousand more'
I taught him that it was inappropriate to use those words, at his age, at school (but, let's be real, at that age, they usually already are) and around the rest of our family, or really anywhere outside of our house. I explained to him that they truly are vulgar and offensive, and that he can NOT use them "Just because".
He's prone to using them (plus a few others he's picked up over time that I've slowly allowed him to let 'creep' in to his swear arsenal [bitch, bastard, those types of things]) at our house around DH sometimes as a shock factor (he's now 16). The only thing DH asks is he try to curb them around his 12 year old, and to not use g-damn. The only word that is 100% verboten around us is 'fuck'. I KNOW he uses it behind the closed door of his bedroom (I've heard it), but, I'm not going to give him grief about it because it's not to my face. And, let's be real; I use it. A LOT.

I don't feel bad because my husband hates milk and doesn't drink it. So it's mine...all mine!
SS's been sick for days.
DH won't take time off work. BM won't take time off work. DH has the BALLS to ask ME to take time off work or squeeze time in between my OWN appointments to take SS to the Urgent Care clinic (SS doesn't have a regular doctor [long, dumb story that pisses me off]). You know, where people have who knows WHAT; sure, let the PREGNANT woman go hang out with potentially virulent people. AWESOME!!!
No way jackwagon.
I told him he and BM need to get their shit together and do the right thing for THEIR son. I don't mind helping out, but having a child means you take time off work to do what you need to for them.
I pointed out that -I- took time off work (yesterday) that I'm trying to hoard to take MY son to the doctor. He and his ex-wife need to do the same thing and do the right thing for SS.
For the record; SS -still- hasn't been to the doctor, despite being exposed to TWO people with strep. Because he's "feeling better", so DH thinks he no longer needs to go. You know, despite the persistent cough and sore throat he's STILL got almost a week later.
Just feck it. Feck DH and FECK BM.
I'm a bitch. I want what's right for SS, but not at the potential risk to my own personal health and MY previous vac/sick time that I NEED for ML.
Also, BM, her new H and their 3 kids are descending upon our home on Sunday for SS's birthday. Because she volunteered our home for it. And DH didn't have the balls to tell her "no". And he didn't ask me if it was okay. It isn't, for the record; our house is a mess, DH is working late tonight so I'm stuck cleaning it up for the 2 house guests that are coming on Saturday, then the over full house on Sunday. We don't have enough chairs for asses that are coming. And I just want to break down and cry about the whole thing because this is NOT okay. But I can't, because it's what SS specifically ASKED for for his B-day.
So yeah. I'm a bitch. I won't SAY anything, but I'm about || close to saying something bitchy in front of DH AND BM about the shitty way they handle their son's illnesses.
TL:DR long vent. I suck.

I live about 20 minuets away from where it is being held and I am not going for two reasons
1. I don't think Ill fit in the dress I bought for it
and 2. Leaving DS1 with who they hired to babysit freaks me out. Not that I think they are bad, but there will be so many other kids that I'm worried he will take off and no one will notice.
I know I'm being that mom, but I'd rather not have to call the cops because we can't find DS1....again.

I really want to watch Hulu today and catch up on Hell's Kitchen and Vampire Diaries. It's killing me not to. I might just have to pull it up on my phone, who cares if it goes dead? Because I don't. It's worth it.
Plus, I was an idiot and read the spoilers from last night on Vampire Diaries, makes the urge 10 times worse.
I don't want my IL's at the hospital during labor, not for any reason specifically I just feel like it will be too overwhelming and I only want my family there. I don't even want visitors until I say it is okay. My H doesn't see it as a big deal but he is not the one giving birth.
This. Hubby doesn't want his parent's there either, so we wont be calling them until the baby has arrived. My mother was slightly horrified when we told her this, but we will be calling my parents, because they are not extremely intrusive.
When SIL gave birth last year, IL's showed up unannounced and went right in and sat down in her room. She came out of the bathroom with the front of her robe totally open and everything there to see and IL's just sat there. (Her hubby was out of the room for a few minutes and didn't know they had shown up.) There is NO WAY IN HELL I am risking a repeat of this incident.

The title isn't a metaphor for anything.It's actually a book about mating, with a raptor.
I guess 50 shades isn't the worst book in the world.

'I loved you for a thousand years and I will love you for a thousand more'
I totally side-eye the lurkers on here, and think it's creepy that they 'know' me and I don't 'know' them.
However, I have been a total lurker on BBC for about a year. I've been following DDs BMB, and I 'know' those ladies and how their kids are developing and make comparisons with DD. I've never once posted or voted in a poll or anything.
Total hypocrite.

The bad ob that I've left said they *HAD* to do both the internal and external u/s at my 20 week anatomy scan, and is now telling me that they are two separate scans, even though they were done at the same time at the same appointment. My insurance stated that the internal at 20 weeks is ridiculous and won't cover it. Do I'm trapped paying oop for an unnecessary test that I wasn't given the chance or choice to refuse — at the tune of $500+ for a minute and a half of screen time to look at my cervix. X(

I find it so annoying as well. I had to be on a jury this last September, my bad luck to actually be PICKED! Since I'm a SAHM my husband had to use vacation time to stay home with the boys. Some states give you a pass if you're a SAHM, not New York. Why couldn't I have been picked all those years that I was working? My company paid you for it, and I would have had daycare.
Plus, it was so boring.

MY FFFC is that FI's girls are spending the entire month of June with us and I'm not looking forward to it. This will be the longest they've spent with us since we've been together. Because until a week ago, FI was still a Drill Sergeant working late nights and weekends, we didn't do "normal" every other weekend visitation either, just overnight or spend the day with them when his schedule allowed. (And about a month ago his ex moved 3 hours away, so we can't even do visitation now, because her car just got repo'd, and she can't meet him halfway, and we cannot afford to drive 12 hours every other weekend to see them). Anways, that's besides the point. Little background- as some of you may be confused given my other posts about his relationship/marriage:
Together in high school, she got pregnant with their first. They got married in 2001. They joined the Army together. Had second daughter. She only did 4 years, they got divorced, she got out and moved back to OK. He moved back to OK (Ft Sill) 3 years ago, had a temporary lapse of sanity, and remarried her in Mar 2012. Split up/filed for divorce in Nov 12. I moved to Sill Jan 13 and we met.
Anyways- His girls are 13&10. I like them just fine. They are a little shy around me, but I dont' blame them, as we haven't spent a ton of time together, and I am not great with kids. Especially older ones. So they are staying with us for the entire month of June, and I'm already panicking about it. First, because FI hasn't lived with them or spent a lot of time with them since they were small (minus the brief portion of time they were remarried), and he loves them, but doesn't really know how to "parent them," since we don't spend enough time with them to need to discipline them. Not that they are badly behaved, but I know from experience that they will stay up all night watching tv and sleep all day (since we both work), and FI won't enforce a bedtime. I would like them to help me with things like setting the table for dinner, etc.. but I am hesitant to ask, since they are not "my kids," and they won't do this on their own, since most dinners with their mom involve fast food.
And then there's just the general stuff. I have never lived with children, and I am used doing things like walking around naked, taking off my bra at night, sleeping naked, doing whatever... Which I can't do for an entire month. I think it's more that I really don't like changes to routine, and am very uncomfrotalbe with sharing my space.. and it will probably be fine.. but seriously not looking forward to it.

I got dismissed last month for a year for being a SAHM. Yay Washington state!DS Grayson (3yrs) (Emergency Csec)

I work for a state agency that does the hearings/trials for state licensed professionals. I've seen PLENTY of cases go through where the doc was being pursued for crap like that. They usually settle rather than go through the hearing process.
