AW Monday / Monday Rant

[sstwinklinglites]

Let's hear it ladies!

[becole]

I survived a weekend with my Mil and her sister. And my DH being a tool the whole time (he takes things out on me when he's there for some reason).

But my baby slept while we were there. It was a miracle.

[sstwinklinglites]

becole - Boo for having to spend a wknd. with them. Yay for baby becole sleeping!

*************Trigger warning- loss of children-*************





I have lots of feels about the tragic accident that happened in Florence yesterday. I wasn't there, I don't know the full story, but my gut is telling me that the driver should have charges filed against her. I know that road well, there is no way you can not see a group of 6 walking and pulling 2 bright red wagons. With that said, my heart goes out to that family. We didn't know them, but H and I were both in tears, thinking about the 13mo twins that were killed. I can't even imagine what their parents are going through.

I didn't watch any news yesterday, so I didn't hear about this, but it sounds awful. I can't imagine charges not being filled once an investigation is complete. If you're a civilian and you feel this way, I'm sure investigators will reach the same conclusion.

[becole]

I know that road as well. They shouldn't have been walking along the shoulder of that road, but the driver also couldn't have been paying attention to drive out of the lines and hit them. It's just heart breaking. It always makes it harder since the grandparents had the children with them when it happened. Then there becomes all of that heartache with the family as well.

[ladytiffany24]

So I had a little bit of a cold last week but it wasn't awful and it was almost all the way gone by Friday. Well, now all of the sudden everytime I woke up last night, I could feel the nasal congestion and a scratchy throat when I swallowed. Looks like I have a new cold to contend with (or allergies or a continuation of this other cold). Either way, FML.

Also, re: the tragic accident in Florence. I hadn't heard anything about it but it sounds absolutely awful. My heart aches for that family!

[mom2boxers]

sstwinklinglites, mrscatfarmer13, becole - I saw it on my FB feed. How horrible for those families. Also, anything that affects children hits me harder now that I have LO.

I've always been a huge softy. I cry at everything from commercials, to books, movies, shows, articles, books. But after motherhood... I cried last night watching the last Night at the Museum ffs. Seriously.

That's heartbreaking. I can't imagine what the family is going through.

I started to read the article and had to stop. My heart hurts so bad. I cannot even begin to imagine.

I'm going to leave this here. Let's lighten the mood.

I needed this after watching the video from the accident.

[babylove518]

Yeah, that accident is seriously heartbreaking... Thanks for lightening the mood becole! Even though that first part where that little girl pulls the noodle out of her mouth makes me gag a little. Lol
Anyways, I've had a sore throat for the past couple of days and I'm already over it. I think it's just seasonal allergies, as I don't really have any other symptoms, but I hate having a sore throat! On the bright side, I'm drinking a ton of water because the coolness feels amazing.

[bazingaa]

It's a beautiful day today, so we took the day off of work and are headed to the zoo. And this time tomorrow MIL will be headed home!!!

Doesn't get any better than this.

[becole]

I am taking off at 3 today! I would love to head to the zoo but by that time it will be a nightmare with traffic, and my kid will want to nap around then. I can't wait for a one nap schedule.

[JoBub]

My grades are due at 3:00 today, and of course I procrastinated and am still working on it (and trying to teach at the same time). But there are so many things here I want to read and reply to! Wah! Everyone gets A's so I can get back my message board time! j/k

You'd probably make favorite teacher in the yearbook if you did that!!

Ooooh. Duh. I teach high school.

[narbuckle01]

I briefly heard about the story on the news, I decided not to read more into it because it was just too terrible for those involved. I just can't imagine.

While going out of town is relaxing-- it is super hard. Got home at 9 last night, which means DD was up until 11 because she had slept so much in the car. And I literally have three laundry baskets worth of dirty clothes. How is this possible from being away from the washer for only 4 days? It is going to be a catch up week for sure. Oh and we have no groceries.

On the plus side I spent some of the weekend on a "nurse-cation" and I am pumping like a champ at work today.

[JoBub]

Woo! Posted with 22 minutes to spare! Now to get caught up here....

Seriously, the kid with the light in his belly?!? LOL
Wonder how they got that out of there!

[JoBub]

It's a beautiful day so we had a fire drill. I was definitely the first person out of the building and the last person back in. I'm so jealous of people who get to enjoy this weather tonight. I'm running home to get DS from daycare, eat an early dinner, and coming back here for a required school event tonight. It's an event for our seniors that I really love, but it seems like every year it falls on the first day of beautiful weather. Why can't it be 75 degrees tomorrow, instead?

Ditto, I'm literally cracking up in my cube over that. I am sure cubeland mates thinks I am crazy.
