It's Hump Day

[sstwinklinglites]

Hi Ladies!

So, I'm pretty swamped with work right now. I'm trying to catch up on all the work this girl left behind, so my participation may be a little spotty for a little while. But I'm here, & I'll be checking in.

Proceed

Good luck! Hopefully you can get things under control quickly. Nothing worse than trying to pick up where someone else left off!

My in laws are here for a week, and DH doesn't get into town until tomorrow. I hope I can keep my patience with my FIL until then. He has really good intentions, just annoys the shit out of me. It's stupid little stuff, like if I'm talking to the toddler, FIL will repeat everything I say in a loud voice. I'm a bad person. I sent them to the museum center with DS. Hopefully they have fun. It's nice to have the house to myself.

That is brilliant.

sstwinklinglites I hope you are able to sort everything out soon! You sure did start quick!

Working full time has been an adjustment for me this week for sure. I know people say all the time there needs to be more hours in the day, but really. Another 90 minutes at minimum would be ideal. Or maybe reduce the work day-- that is an even better idea!

I so understand this. I feel the same way about my MIL. She's a super nice person and has good intentions (most of the time I think). But she annoys me to no end too! And most of the time, I can't really put my finger on what exactly it is. I just get so friggin annoyed. My in-laws will be in town the week of Easter and I'm dreading it. At least I wont' have to be home alone with them without DH. I've had to do that before and have been ready to pull my hair out! DH asked if I was going to take any time off while they were here and I told him it was a busy week at work so I wouldn't be able to. Can any of you guess if that was a true statement?

[nachomomma]

ladytiffany24 I'm so glad I'm not alone. They're both such nice people, so I feel terrible when I get annoyed. To be fair though, my dad annoys me too.

By far the worst part of this. She left at the worst possible time too, busiest time of the year for us, she was over a month behind, and left no indication of what's what. At least I know what I'm doing and not having to learn everything as if this was a first for me.

Sending them out is so smart! DH is on his way home to handle DS for me. He refused to take nap #2, so I need him off my hands for a bit.

I'm usually on the MIL bashing train because her passive aggressiveness drives me nuts. But she does a lot for us, liking picking us up from airport today and driving through skyline for me Also this weather totally sucks but I'm happy to finally be home!

[sstwinklinglites]

So far the snowfall has been fairly light here.

DS screeching has not been light. Although with how my new upstairs neighbor stomps around, I hope here hears every screech.

Also, I need a SBUX delivery service. I tried the Tiramisu latte and I'm in love.

I just unfriended a chick on FB that I always suspected was an anti - vaxer, and finally got my answer when she posted a news story about how vaccinated people spread viruses such as measles, mumps, etc. Just STFU. No vaccine is 100% effective, but sure, let's not vaccinate on the off chance that that vaccinated person will manage to give you the measles from his vaccine.

I'm in the business of unfriending ignorant people on my FB as well. For lots of reasons.

I have a cousin like that. I don't unfriendly her because I find her fascinating. She's highly intelligent and very well educated (finishing her PhDbut has the most insane beliefs: 9-11 was a government conspiracy, anti-vax, climate change denier, pick a crazy belief and she embraces it.
