I'm so annoyed. Next weekend is our five year anniversary, and I told my husband over a month ago that I wanted to go to this restaraunt that is consistently rated the best in our city. I've wanted to go forever and I figured this would be the perfect occasion.
Well, he waited way too long to call and make a reservation, and they don't have any openings now. It's just so typical. I told myself I wasn't going to nag him and remind him a bunch of times to make the reservation and I really thought he could just take care of this one thing. But apparently not 😤
We have had 3 brown outs this morning, thanks to the storm coming up the east coast. It has not even really hit us yet. Now I am getting nervous about my frozen milk stach, I really hope we don't lose power for an extended amount of time. Apparently a lot of pepole have already lost power.
renbee That's frustrating. I want to go on a date with DH (we missed our anniversary for a fantasy football draft) but I don't want to do all the planning and work involved. He wants me to get reservations, a sitter, etc. Why can't he do it?
Our neighbors had to move and they sold their house to the most annoying guys ever. Dirt bikers. They ride all day long, blast music, and race down the road. We have 10 acres but it is starting to seem very small. If this wasn't my dream home I would seriously consider moving.

renbee, I certainly hope he finds a way to make that up to you! buttercup, My condolences for your parents' political leanings. My family has some interesting things going on with that--my dad doesn't talk politics in mixed company, so I don't know where he stands. (And he's very straight down the middle these days, doesn't lean one way or the other and looks at each issue/candidate on its own.) My stepmother refuses to vote for Hillary, but still doesn't know who she's voting for. Which makes things super awkward because my stepbrother is actually a delegate for Hillary. So...dinner conversation is...fun. scotty138, That would drive me to drink. I'm sorry you lost your good neighbors and inherited this lot
My mom was dog-sitting for my uncle and he's coming up to get his pup today. We're going over to see him this afternoon and cooking out. DH was supposed to meet us over there after work at 2, but it's looking less and less likely. His job is allowed to hold people over ("draft") for a second shift every 8 days when they are short-staffed.
He was 22nd on the list for today, so we figured he'd be fine. They are so short-staffed, that they drafted 18 officers the second they walked in the door. So he's probably stuck there. Which makes me irate, because looking ahead to next week, he is pretty sure he'll get stuck working four back-to-back 16 hour shifts.
I can't wait until he's out of there. He just started back to school part time and he should graduate in 3-3.5 years. It can't come soon enough. I'm going to go drown my sorrows in a beer and a hamburger... (Like, after noon. I promise I'm not downing a beer at 9am )
My niece is over right now, and she has been such a great helper. She has been entertaining DS, helped me put his toys and books away on the shelving unit I just got, and even helped fold some laundry! And you know what her award is? Finding one of her brand new tennis shoes chewed up by my ass hole black lab! She was in tears. I felt so bad! But I promised to buy her new shoes, and she was satisfied with that.

abbeyd, I'm so sorry that happened! Wishing you a speedy recovery! buttercup, I'm with you on that--typically I respect differing views. But yeah. I just can't with this man. Completely speechless with your dad... And just saw your post about your car I hope it's something cheap and minor and that you're back on the road soon. Really hoping you're not stranded. @pennygirl2013, He's going through an RN program! It was the top of his list for a second career and he planned to go back to school after he retired. After looking at what he'll bring in with a partial pension if he leaves at 15 years, it was completely worth it for him to start now and get out sooner. Another 5 years won't make that much of a difference in pay, and the job is completely sucking the life out of him. He knows he'll have similar schedule issues when he's a nurse, but he feels like it will be a whole lot easier to do that when he's helping people!
We may be putting an offer on a new house tomorrow 😬
We were only casually looking but a really awesome house came up. We went to the open house and really liked it so we are doing a private showing tomorrow. Only thing is that it's at the top of our price range so we're trying to decide if we really want to spend this much. I think it's a bit overpriced so we will probably come in with a lowish offer and see what happens.
I'm a little freaked out about the whole thing. But excited!
Well today DH sent me a message on FB that I saw at 1230 that said DD1's school was being evacuated for a bomb scare. I literally ran over to get her and she was the only kid there... they had sent out the message at 1115. Luckily it was a false alarm, the bomb squad said it was nothing, but jeeze that gets your blood pumping. Also luckily my parents were still here so I took off running and they were here for LO.
@east that's scary! What would have happened if it were a real threat?! I really hope someone would have helped her and not just left there all alone!
The teachers were still there. I just wished they had sent me a Whatsapp so I could have gotten her sooner. A few small bombs went off about 2 weeks ago so I think everyone was just a bit on high alert.
Yes thank goodness. Although that makes me feel like a wimp. Struggling to find pants and underwear that don't pull on the glue.
And teaching a two year old to not climb all over a mom is a tough lesson!
Just caught up - yikes girl! When I had my gallbladder out laparoscopically after having ds it hurt so bad! I had a harder time recovering from that then I did giving birth! Praying for a quick recovery!!

That's got to be tough. Toddlers seem to be more attracted to you when you need them to stay off and give some space for a bit.
I feel like with any other surgery you're missing out on all the endorphins/adrenaline that get released when you have a baby so proportionally, I feel like it makes sense for it to hurt a shocking amount in comparison. GL abbeyd! Hope you're feeling a little better.
Compared to some of the vents in this thread my shitty sleepers are tiny pebbles.
We did get to pet llamas today, so win for the weekend. Hopefully I sleep tonight.
Hugs to those in need (mobile, so tags won't end up correctly)
(I'm finally catching up. My parents just left. DD1 is sick and watching TV. DH will get home in probably 2 hours from his trip)
I've been trying to keep up reading this and I looked at this a few times and it took until just now to realize that you didn't "get pet llamas" and that you got to pet llamas. Still cool but not quite the same!
Courtniko how did your milk fare? I saw a friend online say that they are still out of power and have been for a total of 5 days now.
buttercup, I would be horrified if my family put a Trump sign in their yard! I would make them disappear in the MOTN.
@unicornofthesea, did the hives go away fine? DD1 got hives the last time she was sick. She is sick again and last night kept complaining that she was itchy but I haven't seen any.
It's too cold here for sandals. Nobody wears them but I have a WICKED tan from my TOMS. Even thought it is cool and cloudy a lot the altitude makes sunburns easier to get. My scalp got burned at the market Sunday.
DD1 got these awesome robot nesting dolls at the market and she's spent so much time playing with them, I hadn't realized how much fun they would be for an almost 4 year old. I might get her one more set for Christmas. We got a set for her cousin and she's been having fun matching them up by size and playing with them.
DH messaged, they landed early so I should probably clean up a bit! I've been in vacation mode with my parents...
@east, that is frightening about the bomb scare and that you didn't find out right away? I'm really glad it was a false alarm. There should be a better way to get a hold of you, isn't there?
