Just got the call from my realtor last night and our offer on this super cute ranch was accepted! We close mid October! So glad we will have a home to bring baby #2 home to!
I'm so glad that someone finally started this thread. I thought about it but had no idea on a title.
I have my second interview today, in about 2 hours, and am nervous and excited! This job sounds like a challenge, but I don't back down from challenges.
Oh, and my 7th grader has cheer tryouts, today, for the 8th grade basketball team, at her school. They're only selecting six 7th graders and there are about 14 trying out. She's so nervous, but I know she'll do great even though I'm a bit nervous for her, too. She loves to cheer and wants this so bad...I'm praying she makes it!
I thought about starting it too, but I thought perhaps everyone was waiting based on the discussion in yesterday's randoms about not starting it so early.
My random for today is that I wish I could quit my job and just live on a self-sufficient off-grid piece of beautiful property close to mountains somewhere. Then I remember that I'm a fancy girl who likes fancy things.
I've gone from having weird/amusing dreams to completely terrifying dreams. I don't enjoy waking up and feeling that I need to call a friend to make sure they're ok, better yet, still alive. Ughh
My random for the day is that I found this thread while lurking N14 and it is GOLD and now I *desperately* want us to do the same topic. What do you guys think?
I don't really have any random except our kitchen sink pipe is still clogged and we tried to pop open the other end and snake it. Didn't work out so we're going to have to call a plumber. I wish we had just called a plumber two weeks ago when it got clogged instead of waiting around for husband to try to take a crack at it because basically the amount of food we've bought while eating out over that time period would have already paid for the plumber.
BAH. At least it's Friday.
"Serious is only something you have to be until you can be silly again."
I woke up & had a cry this morning. My red tail catfish died last night. He was just sick a few weeks ago & made a full recovery. Starting looking sick yesterday, started treating him, he didn't make it. To make things worse I found out why he got sick. SO overdosed his water with conditioner (both times) by mistake when doing the water changes.
To top it off he's about 10-12 inches so he can't just get flushed to fish heaven. I had to take him out & put him in the freezer (crying the whole time) so SO can bury him later.
I have only read the randoms thread a couple days this week. The trolls have been keeping busy with mod stuff and work has been keeping me busy with work stuff.
It is finally Friday and I cannot wait until 4:30. I have a big to do list for me and the girls and S is FINALLY getting drywall put up in the basement. It's almost done! Soon we can unpack the garage and actually park our vehicles in there!
There is a carnival in my town this weekend but I'm really don't want to go by myself. My SO is only off on Mondays and he works late on the weekends. I want to go to eat all the terribly delicious food though. I'll have to make a decision. Happy Friday!
@jenny0314 GL on your interview today and FX for your daughter's cheer tryouts!
@FLFishOutOfWater bad pregnancy dreams are becoming more frequent for everyone it seems like. They need to stop! I'm sorry you had that. T&Ps for a healthy LO.
Everyone have fun at the fair and carnivals! Ours starts in 2 weeks and next weekend the pumpkin patch opens. I'm so excited!
@JM0848 I hope you feel better and this day goes by fast for you.
@Darbie914 happy birthday to your DD and have a great party!
@katydid2014 I desperately need to clean my house... I did the dishes a little this morning and looked around seeing how much more I have to do in general... Ugh.
@megaugust10 yay for free chick fil a! My SO got me hooked on their waffle fries, so good!!
I woke up at midnight last night to preorder my new phone. I woke up this morning with an email saying they cancelled my order with no warning or reasoning! I tried to send it in again but I think it's too late. Boo AT&T. First world problems at its finest!
I have an extremely long day at work coming up, I'm hoping to get a break and have my hair done for once! I've decided it's just about fall and I want red hair again!
@MauiBliss holy frick that's a long time to wait for furniture! I bet you're excited to enter the first world again @stepherly sorry about your fishy. I had to bury my (giant) koi fish years ago when some jerk thought it was a great idea to put boiling hot water in their tank. I actually ended up liking having them buried instead of flushed to who knows where.
Also, I like this whole not starting the random thread at 2 am thing. It's not as horribly daunting a task to catch up today. I don't usually like to contribute when it's 8am and I'm 7 pages behind.
Serious question requiring some serious answers right meow: It's 9:39. I had a yogurt for breakfast about two hours ago. Can I eat my lunch now guilt free and then get a bagel for a snack later?

THIS IS IMPORTANT!
DO IT. You only had a yogurt for breakfast. I'd say anything goes assuming it was a regular sized yogurt. If it was a 32oz tub then maybe only eat half of your lunch.
@hollmb Boiling water?! That's awful. I'm just hoping not to get upset again when it's time to bury him. I know SO feels terrible already so I don't want him to see me get upset.

Yeah, his reasoning was he "thought they were tropical fish and that they would like it." A real winner, for sure. That's tough. Maybe you're going to be "super busy", he can bury the fish alone and you can pay your respects later?
Oh, I do have a random. Since I'm trying to go for a VBAC, I thought it would be a good idea to watch vaginal birth videos last night. :-??
Still gonna go for it but wow, that is some amazing stuff.
I've never had a c-section and was curious what happens during one, so I watched a video on one the other day. Oh my.... I had no idea what went down. Major props to those who had c-sections. Oweeeee
I had my OB appt this morning and getting my vag poked was 100% worth it because I heard baby's heartbeat. DD was at the appointment with me and she was actually listening to it too, it was a wonderful moment!
Later this afternoon I have a friend's wedding to go to, which I'm excited about. Not so much for the wedding part, we aren't super close by any means, but I'm just kind of excited to go out and do something and I'm sure H and I will do lots o' dancing which we haven't done in a couple years since the last wedding we went to! And DD is staying her first night away from us at my parent's house so that's a little bittersweet. Granted, they're only 5 minutes from us, but it will still be really strange...
oh and @MauiBliss, totes eat that. We all know yogurt isn't exactly filling, do it up!
My only random right now is that I ate too many nachos for dinner last night and I am still uncomfortably full! I was so bloated last night I looked approx. 6 months pregnant and almost posted a pic to HDBD to show the madness. It was clearly fat blump though, so I refrained. But the nachos were so good! I'll probably eat leftovers for lunch. #noselfcontrol
Oh and I am 13 weeks 3 days today, so I am declaring myself officially in the 2nd trimester!! I can't believe I'm already 1/3 of the way through this pregnancy!
Serious question requiring some serious answers right meow: It's 9:39. I had a yogurt for breakfast about two hours ago. Can I eat my lunch now guilt free and then get a bagel for a snack later?
@mauibliss I can't believe you've been living sans furniture this whole time! You deserve a fucking medal or something. That must have been...fun. So yay for furniture!
Annnd now I can't remember who else to tag.
K took E on a hike so I could sleep in and have some time to myself. He also brought me coldstone ice cream cupcakes last night. Win. I kind of want one for breakfast...but will try to wait until after lunch
I've always been able to remember really detailed dreams but when I'm pregnant I have ones that are so detailed and active, I don't feel rested when I wake up. Some of them are really stressful too.
I haven't read through all the comments yet, but only because every time I do, I forget what I was originally going to say by the time I'm done reading. So I'm just going to catch up after this.
My random: I'm a little worried about my little sisters 11 week old. His body is a little oddly shaped to meand if he were my baby I would be asking my pediatrician about it, but she is young and naïve and never worries about anything. See, he's got a very large head, hardly any neck at all, a huge barrel chest, and tiny scrawny little arms and legs and his legs are quite bow legged. And I'm not saying this to criticize or call him ugly (he's gorgeous and I could not love him more!), it's just that I am genuinely concerned that it's a sign of some developmental disorder or physical ailment. He also smiles a ton and coos and even laughs already, but rarely makes eye contact. Maybe I'm a paranoid worry wart, and obviously her doctor has never mentioned concern to her, but I worry still.
I visited my grandpa (who has dementia) in the care center this morning. When I walked in his room he knew exactly who I was which was a total surprise. He was very excited to hear that he's going to be a great grandpa. It was a great visit!
So SO told his ex-wife last night.. She has been stalking me on Pinterest and then decided to "research" some of the pins she saw and found my Babies R Us registry. She's really a piece of work. If it weren't for SD we wouldn't even have to deal with her. It must be a sad life if you continuously stalk your ex because you want dirt on him and/or who he's with. She also thinks we won't be together much longer (because that's her opinion). She's a special snowflake.
I got my hair done yesterday and now I feel purrrrty.
Also, H just got a new F/T job and I'm really happy for him since he is so excited, but I'm conflicted because it doesn't go along with the plan we made when we decided to TTC. I won't bore you all with the Dear Diary details, I'll just say, that wasn't the plan. I know it'll all work out fine, I just wish we were on the same page more often. Our differences is what I love about our relationship, but the big things we have always agreed on, so this just feels…odd.
Sorry to post and run, I'll be back later to catch up!
March '15 October Siggy Challenge: Halloween Costume Fail
Ever since the photo shoot I've gotten the urge back to actually wear makeup every day. I haven't felt very pretty lately and wearing makeup and actually taking care of my appearance really boosts my mood. So I went on Pinterest, found the best drugstore brand makeup dupes, and I'm going shopping on my lunch break! I'm in desperate need of new makeup, I have stuff that's years old.
I'm super gassy today and really trying not to fart at my desk.... It hurts.
Re: Just a small town girl... Livin' in a lonely world! She took a midnight train goin anywhere...

YAY @jgowing for new house!
@lionelbtchy I also wish I could run off and live a life in the woods but then I remember I like electricity and indoor plumbing.
@jm0848 Feel better.
