Got up early to run at a park that has great trail running. They are apparently paving the trails so everything is tore up. Not only could I not run but the park system is ruining one of my favorite natural trails in the area.

Watched the local United Way campaign video this morning... Sobbing!! The annual campaign is going strong at my work and DH told me to donate for sure because when he was younger his local United Way gave him a baseball glove because his family couldn't afford one. He is a big believer in charitable giving in general for all the help and services his family received when they first immigrated to the US under political asylum.

OMG my manager just called me and said my company has announced that they are going to be offering six weeks of paid leave to primary caregivers! I still don't know the details or if I'd qualify, but I'm flipping out from excitement!

I was going through our pictures from Disneyworld (the "professional" ones that we got with our memory maker) and for some reason ALL the pictures from when we met Mickey are seriously messed up: like super dark, black, and in the majority of them you can't even see DS1 at all. Both my kids LOVED Mickey, like seriously movie magic and we have no pictures of it.

I had a Tim McGraw station on while I was cleaning and for some reason, every single song made me cry.

Solo parenting makes me cry.
DH's company is finally busy again (why is there never a happy medium in events? it's either dead or slammed) so he worked until 10pm Thursday night, was home for dinner/bedtime on Friday, needed to leave at 10am Saturday and didn't get home until 2am, and was gone 11am-6pm Sunday. And I just got a text that he forgot he's on a show today, and not going to be home until 11:30 tonight.
Saturday morning I got up at 7am with DS to let him rest up a little, but by 9am when he got up I was so completely done. The prospect of a whole day on my own was just too much, cue dramatic fling-self-on-bed Disney princess weeping. I made him stick around so I could shower before he left, then got myself and DS out of the house for the rest of the day.

Cried uncontrollably all the way home from the fair yesterday because I was so tired. Waaaay overdid it.

@bainidhedub I feel you on that. DH works some days and most nights and I solo parent 80% of the time. It's tough. *hugs*

That's rough @bainidhedub! DH has been working a LOT of overtime lately, and I hate it. It's not like I can't handle taking care of DD solo...I just feel better when he's around. I don't need the help, necessarily (although he pulls his weight), I just feel more centered when he's there.

@bainidhedub hang in there, girl! I'm not a mom yet, but I can't even imagine all of the solo parenting frustration and stress. I can imagine I'd just feel better with DH around, too, like @cyanope

I started crying last night when DH left for airport for work. I'm not even solo parenting yet but I'm already losing it. I was even half smiling when I was crying because in my head I knew I was being in ridiculous but in my heart I just felt BLUE.

It was fantastic when he was like, is this real or is this hormones?

Is there a difference?

This Is Us.

That is all.

@missblaze I haven't watched it yet, but I cried on every episode last season. Love that show!

@missblaze I watched it live last night. Even DH watches it with me, but even if he hadn't I was not waiting for him to watch it. It was so good. I cried... a few times. I don't even know how I'm going to handle watching it while pregnant this season. This scene. I bawled like a baby.

Also, afterwards I watched the Law and Order True Crimes: Menendez Brothers show. It was interesting. I'm a big true crimes person and didn't dislike it.

edit because double negatives in a sentences are dumb.

missblaze · September 2017

@supercoolstephy I watched it last night too. This morning DH was like "Why didn't you wait for me??" ::cue pouty face:: and I was like, "NO! WHEN WOULD WE WATCH IT?!" because he works nights. But anyway, yeah cried my share as well. I don't know how I'm going to get through it this season.

I set the Menendez Brothers show to record
