Thankfully her other bridesmaids were right there and pulled her away from me before she had the chance to do more to me than she did.
I can't agree w/ shadesofgold, more. While I hope more than anything you are able to somewhat mend your relationship. H and his brother have always had a volitile relationship. After we got married we went out on a party bus (we were in Vegas), and his brother threw a lit cigarette at him while screaming. He then said he was going to take down one of my girl friends and tried to puch my brother. This was after he was kicked out of a club the night before at the bachelor party. He still hasn't apologized and he and his wife deleted us off FB. It's been hard on his parents, but they refuse to see his MH/drinking problems.
1. My drive into work took 1 hr 45 minutes. I may have texted DH in a rage and said that I want to get an apartment near work. I have since apologized. (my office is moving in October so there is an end in sight"
2. I'm having tacos for dinner. Yay for Taco Tuesday!
3. My boss messed something up royally at work yesterday. A small part of me is a little happy because he always gives me such grief when I mess up any small thing. Chuckle Chuckle.
4. I can't wait for the long weekend!
5. I am constantly thinking about what my future babies will look like (god willing) I am really fair (blonde/blue eyes) and DH is super Italian so I just can't picture it.
6. My dog is an asshole and woke me up at 5 a.m
7. But, because I was up early I did a workout video
8. I am hoping to get to Dollar Tree at lunch for some Memorial Day table cloths
9. Its a cold, rainy day in Connecticut today. I just want my bed.
10. DH just texted me to tell me he spent $70 on a camo chair at Big Lots. Probably wouldn't have been my first choice for how I spent $70...sigh. I hate CAMO.
This is so us. I always joke that he won't give me blonde babies. He is part croatian, so at least I'm hoping my babies won't be a lobster in the summer like me.
1. First time I've been able to get on since Friday! (Work went to shit, big event for my theatre company on Saturday, brunch followed by set strike Sunday, new product launch at work yesterday.) Miss anything good?
2. Thanks to the above, I am super happy to be visiting the in-laws this weekend.
3. I was almost late for work this morning because I started watching "This is Where I Leave You".
4. I am like 3 weeks behind on Game of Thrones and even farther behind on Once Upon a Time.
5. I enjoyed Pitch Perfect 2. However, I am irrationally irritated by Hailee Steinfeld's character the same way I am irrationally irritated by Walter in The Muppets. I can't explain why.
6. For some reason my breakfast made me nauseous to the point of vomiting (could have been the vitamin too, maybe?). I feel fine now, but part of me just wants to go home anyway.
7. There were two women on the metro this morning talking about how they are introducing the movies they loved as kids to their own children. I wish I had offered them a high five because the list was awesome.
8. My grandpa's birthday was on Saturday and I'm just mailing his card out today. Also I forgot to call him until Sunday. Worst granddaughter ever. (He said he didn't mind when I talked to him, but I still feel bad.)
9. I was way too entertained by the TSA's "Can I Bring My..." search feature yesterday.
10. There's an intern in our department for the summer and I feel so old.
Yes, my brother and father still live with her. The real issue right now is that it's becoming increasingly difficult for them to give her the in-home care she needs (nutritionally, etc) and maintain a safe environment for her, but both are scared to talk to her about possibly moving her to a facility. She's at a very awkward (for us) stage where she isn't very coherent most of the time but she refuses to leave the house. So it would need to be a forced move. She also refuses a nurse or an aide.
Next week we have a lawyer coming to the house. She always swore she gave my brother power of attorney, but as it turns out shortly after she got her initial dementia diagnosis the lawyer says she called and pulled the power of attorney. So now it's turning into a huge issue of who has the right to make decisions.
In many ways I'm fortunate because I'm not living home and don't have to deal with the day-to-day stuff, but it's very taxing on my father.
I'm sorry teraiin. We are going through something similar with my grandmother and it's a horrible situation so I can't imagine having it be my parent. She's past the point where she basically needs full-time care but my grandfather feels guilty about putting her somewhere so my mom and her sisters are each taking nights where they sleep at their condo to help out.
Good luck with everything. Hugs.
This is pretty much us exactly. I'm adopted so my mother is actually in her 80s because they adopted me when they were older. I've made a point of trying to discuss with my dad that while I can understand not wanting to put her somewhere, it would be good for BOTH of them. She's not eating as well as she could or should, she's not not taking her medications or vitamins, etc. He's being run ragged trying to take care of her. So it's just not a great situation all around.
(hugs) And good luck with everything for you guys too!

Wow.
Family drama seriously sucks big time.
I feel like this looks like I was trying to "one-up" you. I'm sorry for that. Just hoping to provide some comfort (eh, and that sounds creepy. I am not excelling in word finding today). I'm so very sorry that you had to go through any of that during what should be a super fun time. I can't imagine anyone getting physical with me.
LadyNymeria I'm sorry for the drama with FSIL. I hope things smooth over so you don't have that stress just sitting there.
teraiin I'm really sorry about your mom's health. I can't imagine what a difficult thing that must be to watch happen
Ten Randoms:
I really want today to be Friday.
I have no idea why my mother thought we would be sightseeing on a bounce trip for a meeting but I have no plans to go sightseeing since the trip will only be a two day trip.
I wish I could either work from home or stop working altogether and just "work" on my hobbies.
DH made me really happy yesterday by doing several things around the house even though he was tired. They really needed to get done.
I'm really worried about my FIL. His behavior has been different enough for awhile now that DH said something to MIL about it. We're worried there's some lasting damage from a fall he took last year because of the change in behavior.
My dad's birthday is today. He would have been 62. I miss him terribly.
DH has about 4 weeks left on his night shift. The end CANNOT come soon enough.
I'm really excited about the holiday weekend.
DS came to visit yesterday and he got a haircut (yay!) and a nose piercing (BOO!) I'm really sad he's got all these piercings but I understand he's trying things he thinks he'll like. I really wish he'd take most of his piercings out though.
I have way too much crap for my house and I need to do a crap-purge but every time I start I get so overwhelmed I just close the door to the crap storage room and pretend it's not there. Sigh.

Oh I didn't take it that way at all! I don't wish this shit on anyone, but knowing other people can relate and understand how much it sucks is comforting.
I'm thankful to have been able to come here this morning and just let it all out.

My 2013 bmb usually has this on a weekly basis so TTT is familiar to me. Thanks for starting!
1) I wish my work computer didn't block proboards. 2) I'm going on a short getaway next week Sunday and Monday and I just checked the weather and it's supposed to rain. Boo. 3) I have a 4 day weekend starting Friday! 4) I'm getting lots done at work right now (snicker) 5) My fucking uterus is having spasms and twitching all over the place!! I wish it would stop! It's making me crazy. 6) TTT can sometimes be hard to come up with ten things 7) I would love to win the lottery. That would solve a lot of problems. 8) I need a different job. The search has been a little dry. 9) I bought a membership to a gym online with every intention of going last night. I went to bed early instead. 10) I've been very drained lately. I hope I get some test results back soon.
2. DH is test driving a car this weekend, and I'm thinking we might leave buying it.
3. Why are my basal temps higher in the morning than later in the day? I randomly take my temp at all times during the day, and so far morning has always been highest.
4. DH and I can't decide on a vacation for August. We have places booked at some random place in Canada, Bethany Beach in Delaware and now are talking about St. Lucia.
5. We had to get a new fridge because the one we got during our kitchen renovation two months ago keeps breaking.
6. Said new fridge is now leaking, and we have to call and plumber.
7. The kitchen renovation was awful, and I just want it to be over. Enough already!
8. Why does salad always taste so much better when someone else makes it?
9. I'm in a dinner rut.
10. I'm really feeling the crunch of trying to prepare my students for their Regents exam. I wish I had more time.

1. Now I'm thinking about bed bugs, annoying in-laws and family drama. Yuck to all of them. 2. I hate when I have a morning meeting and they don't say if there will be coffee or breakfast. I was late to a meeting because I tried to scarf down breakfast before a meeting (I usually eat at my desk) and I walk in and there is this huge breakfast spread! Include this information on the invitation! 3. I look cute today. 4. A guy in my meeting went off about Wi-Fi causing ADHD and miscarriage. Um, what? He also dismissed the importance of statistics, so... I'm wondering if he's an anti-vaxxer too. 5. A friend is trying to schedule a phone date with me and I have a feeling she's in such a rush because she wants to tell me she's engaged. Yay! 6. She was one of my bridesmaids and I really hope I can be one of hers. All my other bridesmaids have taken the too-hip-for-a-bridal-party route and it makes me sad. 7. I'd like to be pregnant. 8. I asked MH for a pep talk last night because I've been bummed out by recent pregnancy announcements. He reminded me to focus on our journey, rather than compare ourselves to everyone else. He also reminded me that you never see the pain in people's lives on Facebook, so don't assume other people have it better. It was much needed. 9. I need to get better about working out daily. 10. I'm already slacking on the ab challenge and it just started.
1.) I really needs to start meal planning, I feel like I'm over thinking it. 2.) I need new clothes, but I put my self on a spending freeze. 3.) I went to bed at 7 and missed the Bachelorette 4.) Married at First Sight comes on tonight and I can hardly contain my excitement. 5.) I just realized today, I really want to get the hell out of my department. 6.) My boss is on another level of creeper today. 7.) DH made chicken salad for our lunches this week and I can't eat it because the chicken isn't shredded. FWP. 8.) I can't participate in the daily threads because I forgot to track my period last month, I have no idea what CD I'm on. 9.) I can't possible be pregnant this month because science. 10.) I I I I I

I didnt watch either. I'll catch up on DVR over the weekend. Apparently it's a two-night special so the other half of the episode is tonight.
I ruined the entire season by reading Reality Steve's spoiler, but I'll still be watching.

I have had this conversation with my friend on multiple occasions. Why are salads never as good at home??? I suspect it's the copious amounts of dressings and varieties of toppings available at restaurants.

He put the spoilers up already?! Damn. I read the spoilers last season with Farmer Chris. I love spoilers.
1. We're having a BBQ on Monday and my FIL decided to invite some of his friends and their family over without asking us. RUDE.
2. DH and I have new "couple friends" and they literally want to hang out every single day. I like them, but I need my space.
3. I miss my dog.
4. Two of our friends just had a baby. I am truly happy for them but their hashtags and FB posts are really obnoxious and kind of smug.
5. We have an annoying client coming in later today and DH and I are both dreading it.
6. I had breakfast for dinner last night.
7. I have a free trip to Mexico that I need to use.
8. I hate picking up my mail.
9. I have a bug bite on my ass.
10. I had a GKU related dream last night. Can't really remember anything about it though. I just remember shemarie82 being there.
I like how this fucking awesome thing is just kind of squished in with other "meh" things. LOL - jealous!!!
We only got this free trip because we had our wedding at this resort and the photographer "lost" all of our wedding photos. A free trip is cool, but I'm still bitter about the whole situation. And I feel like once we get there, they're going to find a way for us to pay for SOMETHING. They were shady like that.

Oh, shit! I'm sorry.
I would be so bitter, too. I hope they leave you alone when you're there.
Hugs LadyNymeria - sorry you have to deal with all that family drama. mazzola23 and requiressnacks - I totally agree regarding other people making salads. I order salads often at restaurants but rarely put forth the effort to make salads at home! peony - DH and I love Married at First Sight! Did you watch the first season too?
1. I am really tired today, and I think I need more caffeine. 2. I have been thinking fantasizing about Jason Momoa all morning after googling pics of him for the Man bun poll thread. 3. I don't have much to do at work today, which is nice since the rest of my week is packed. But that means I'm being really unproductive today when I should be catching up on things. 4. We're getting Wendy's for dinner, and I'm really excited that I don't have to cook! 5. Tonight we have class #2 of 9 for our required foster care training. 6. Our neighbors FINALLY fixed their broken down fence (that shares a side with our yard), so we have a fully fenced yard for the first time in like 3 years. Our dogs are happy. 7. I need a vacation. I have only taken 1 vacation day all year (so far) and it wasn't even for a fun reason. 8. Speaking of vacation, we're going to OBX in July! I can't wait! 9. I have a lego structure of DNA on my desk that I got from a vendor at my recent work conference. 10. My page a day calendar on my desk is still on January 27. Clearly I did not keep up with that for very long...
The shots aren't as bad as it sounds, but certainly isn't fun either. I have always had sensitive ears so I have to wear nice earrings. For my wedding , my 14 year old niece made me a set and a matching necklace. I didn't wear it for the wedding, but I did for the rehearsal dinner. I shouldn't have! It caused a keloid (bumpy scar tissue) on the back of my ear. I put my good ones back in and didn't know that there was a problem. About 3 months later, after it kept getting bigger, my doctor thought that it was a cyst. No such luck. They are using the shots to shrink it, because if they just cut it out, it could cause more trauma and it could grow back bigger.
shemarie82 I had a keloid just before my wedding. My Dr. tried what I think were steroid shots, and eventually I just had to have it fixed by a surgeon. Hope it doesn't come to that for you but I have had no problems at all and it has been 5 years. Not even a noticeable scar.

That is good to know! I have them on my belly as well from when I had my gastric sleeve surgery. So, they happened within about 6 months of each other. He thinks it could have just been something going on with my body at that point. I just want to know if I will be able to wear earrings again, but don't want to cause it to come back.
