What Up Wednesday

thebanich · June 2014

The barista called me mam this morning.

My day was ruined.

BPer · June 2014

H is out of town, so I've been having to get up extra early to squeeze in a quick shower before DD gets up and I have to get us ready for work/daycare.

She was up at 5:30 this morning. I put her in our bed with milk, cereal and Disney Jr. so that I could shower. The whole time I was in there, all I could hear was "Mom? Mommy! Momma?"

She didn't need anything, just wanted me to take a 3 minute shower apparently. I am mess today.

Flamingemu · June 2014

I came in to work today to only 4 emails over night. My norm is 20+. I feel like I can slack off all morning now - ha. I actually think a trip to Sbux is in order to celebrate.

redneckmomma25 · June 2014

My jeep needs a water pump. It's been a while since it's needed something buy it really needs a clutch soon and was hoping that would be the next thing we do. Oh well.

I have no inspiration for a 2 yr party for G. It will just be a family dinner. Not sure what I will do if anything.

thebanich · June 2014

We let our dog sleep in our room last night for the first time (she has always slept in a crate) and she never even made a peep. I only even considered it because she was barking at the lightning
/:) But I'm happy it worked out because I feel better about that arrangement.

Pokedot · June 2014

Our new gutters etc are looking awesome. They'll be finished Friday hopefully.

I'm considering hiring the guys doing the gutters to put up a hand railing on the front porch and pour a small concrete sidewalk. DH has no time and when he does DS is around. I might just tell them to do it and tack it on our bill now.

Today is my Thursday because I took Friday off. I'm so excited to leave town for the day just the 3 of us. We haven't done that in a long time.

miss50 · June 2014

If I put a run in another pair of nylons I may just have to dip into my 401k. OK kidding, but damn I go thru these things fast.

I'm open for suggestions.

BPer · June 2014

I need to stop binge-watching all the TV before bed.

Last night I had a dream that I had to be induced. Dr. Derek Shepherd placed my cervadil, and Lamar Odom was there.

So, yeah.

STUCK:
Tell me again, you have to wear skirts/dresses to work right?

My Mom wears hoes probably 3x a week to work still (no idea why) and puts lotion on both her hands and her legs before putting them on. Says it helps her so that they don't rip because they're more slippery. :-) It's worth a shot!

PenelopePond · June 2014

I was just in the bathroom. I hear Seany open the front door. He does it all day long. There's a chain at the top, so the door only opens a few inches. Next thing I know, I hear people talking to the boys. I come out to the living room to see the people with the religious papers at the door. They even offered to give a bible to each of the boys. I think we are going to Lowes to get another deadbolt now.

OceanLover26 · June 2014

DH scheduled for the tree cutters to come out today. He left to go OOT yesterday and should be back this evening. Well....he didn't move the boat (which is under a limb that needs cut) or the kids play equipment which is under a few more limbs that need cut) before he left. My hitch on the Journey is the wrong size for the boat and I don't think I can move it without fucking the lawn up anyways since it's raining. I'm pissed he didn't move that stuff before he left and feel like I should call to reschedule.

MommaP12 · June 2014

I have been so tired lately and I just don't understand why. I'm eating better and exercising and I can't get it together and function. I could go back to sleep for another 8 hours right now easily.

I'm obsessed with planning parties. We're throwing a huge open house/4th of July bash as a sort of house warming. Then I'm part of our block party planning committee. I've already started thinking about DD's birthday party which will be Labor Day weekend (every year, since her birthday is Sept. 1) with a Minnie Mouse theme.

I guess after living in a condo so long without being able to host large parties, I'm hosting all the things! I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year too!

melody921 · June 2014

DH's parents and I went in on his bday gift, a Big Green Egg, which is the king of grilling, smoking, etc. Now, I'm second-guessing the fact that we went with the large instead of the extra large because it's smaller than his current grill. But, damn, the XL is crazy expensive. I figure if he's cooking for a crowd, he can always use the egg and the older grill, right? Someone please tell me that no one needs to cook 24 burgers at once.

I wish Starbucks were close enough to the office to justify running back out. It requires an AM detour if I want a latte. I am in the land of Dunkin out here.

MrsKipper · June 2014

This recovery has been the pits. I won't go in to all the TMI details but it has just sucked. I've tried being strong but today I just can't move. My incision hurts more than ever and now I have a bladder infection that is extremely painful. I just want to feel normal again.

I was bragging to DH yesterday about how in check my hormones have been and how I really haven't felt weepy. I spoke too soon. I want to cry about everything today! It doesn't help that Nola just bit my leg because I wouldn't let her drink my milk.

I'm done being a downer now!

L can open our sliding glass door. DH never locks it when he comes in through there and then I hear the damn door slide open when I am in the kitchen and freak. I don't know how to get him to remember to lock it so she doesn't get out unsupervised.

Have you had your thyroid checked lately? I was in a great place when I couldn't shake the exhaustion and turns out I had hypothyroid. The meds have been helping me feel normal again.

No where super exciting really. Just an hour north of us. We live in a small town. This one is the largest in our entire area. I see Starbucks, Target, Kohls and TJMaxx in my future! We're hoping to find a really nice park and do a picnic. I'm just excited to get away for the day. Thanks for asking!

I work in 'an up and coming' neighborhood. Basically, the ghetto that they are gentrifying. It is working, but ALL I have is a SBux, McDs, Wendy's, and a like 5 other small joints to eat. NBD if I packed my lunch more often, but that is the first thing to go if we are running behind in the mornings.

I'm sorry! Let it out girl. I give all of you ladies credit who either have another or are about to. I'm struggling with just one! Rest up Kipper and don't worry about the other stuff.

Good call. I need to get some blood work done anyway (Type 2 Diabetes runs in the family - since I'm getting old I need to watch for it). I hope that's not it. I hope it's just the exhaustion of the past month - moving, unpacking, setting up the house still making sure the kids have fun outside, that's getting to me.

melody921 · June 2014

Stories like this make me so angry. This poor baby is lucky to be alive. So this woman supported her boyfriend's actions until he was convicted and now she feels bad?

Wow, that's creepy that they'd talk to a kid with no parent right there.

Aw, hope you feel better soon! Give yourself the time you need to rest.

The CSA has a big picnic bbq Saturday night with music and games. I'd love to go but my husband won't want to go and I don't want to by myself. Also most of the people who are part of the CSA are from NYC and not local.

Why won't he want to go? I would go by myself and leave G with him and enjoy some fun with your bad self!

1. There are people there.
2. Those people are from the city.
3. There are people there.

I'd go if I knew someone there. Maybe by the end of the season.

And a No Soliciting sign

hmp1 · June 2014

I showed the boys the video I made for Father's Day last night and they both went into a "I miss papa" funk. James asked to watch it again today and again had the Papa blues. I made it thinking DH could watch it when he is traveling but now I'm worried it will put him in a funk too.

Eastie156 · June 2014

I'm really cranky today.

My 30 minute commute took an hour and 20 minutes today, for literally no reason. I turned on the AM station which broadcasts traffic and they said the commute on my highway was slow for no apparent reason.... I don't mind an hour and 20 minute commute if I lived an hour and 20 minutes away, but I'm normally 15 minutes from work without traffic, 30 with traffic. Gah.

I have a terrible headache and want to go back to bed today. I think I'm getting pregnancy related crankiness.

Oh man, I really need a No Soliciting sign. A lawn care guy came two days in a row and gave me the same spiel both days. He just wouldn't take no for an answer. I tried to be polite, but I finally had to just say "I don't want to talk about this anymore." Next time I won't try to be polite /:)

MarisaKathleen · June 2014

@melody921, my co-worker has a Big Green Egg and they have the large. They have 4 kids (high school age) and he keeps his regular gas grill for big parties, but said that he usually doesn't even need to use it. :-)

@mrskipper, I'm sorry. :-( Hopefully today is your funk day and tomorrow is totally different!!

H is traveling this week too. All week long in daycare they've been working on Father's Day crafts, and reading books and singing songs about Father's Day. Every day that I've picked up DD she's been asking for him. It's heartbreaking.

BPer · June 2014

For every day that I am at work, I want to move up my maternity leave start date a week.

Ugh, that's hard. DS always gets into a funk when DH is away. It's almost worse sometimes after he gets to talk or FaceTime with him. Hang in there!

She's working

it's fine.

We have no plans for Father's day. I did so much for Mother's Day and not one person has asked about doing anything for Father's Day and I am not offering. I feel bad but I am the only one who ever plans things.

thebanich · June 2014

I had no idea Father's Day was this Sunday until last night.

I may be in trouble.

thebanich · June 2014

I bid on EBAY on a BR dress that I have been coveting for an upcoming wedding. DH informed me yesterday that he may have to work so we might not go.

So naturally I won the auction. I guess I can re-sell if we don't go.
