My governor just signed a bill allowing private adoption agencies to discriminate against unmarried and the LBGT population. I am so fucking over this bullshit. There are children that are in need of loving homes, do not put any more barriers in the way to their happiness!
Boo for that. Someone I was speaking with argued last week that having SS parents doesn't give the child an accurate view of what parents/family should be. For instance, how can two women provide a fatherly example? I said you could argue the same with single parents. How does a single mom provide a male example on her own? I don't care what the family structure is. As long as the children are being cared for in a loving home, that's all that should matter.
Well my kids are fucked then because my husband screams like a girl when he sees spiders and is useless with power tools. Guess I'll have to be their "fatherly example". This is such bullshit and a bunch of gender stereotypes just trying to cover up that some backwards people find SS couples icky. Oh, unless they are hot lesbians, but don't let them corrupt the children. I'm so done with ignorant people.

So they don't know exactly what is going on with my faces and my eyelids. They know it is a rash, possibly poison something, but can't confirm. They put me on Prednisone. I'll pick it up after dinner. I really hope it helps. This is horrible!

DH called the school he got the offer from back today. The principal told him the school board is making him do more interviews and we might hear back in a week or two. He was the first interview for the school that's 5 minutes away and they won't know for a while who they will hire. The school DH interviewed at 2nd today called his references and his reference called him to tell him about the call. DH got a call back soon after from the Principal officially offering him the teaching position at his school and asking him if he wanted to be a "terrier" the schools mascot. DH accepted. He was told he'll be getting the largest class in the 3rd grade and a smart board (our prior schools weren't tech savy). We just have to wait for the school board to approve him, which the principal said "they approve everyone I hire".
TLDR: DH got an official job offer, was told his grade, size of class, etc. Waiting for approval from the School Board to make it official so he can sign the paperwork.
I just went for a run in 80 degree heat, while pushing DS in the stroller, in the blazing sun. It was a horrible idea and I don't feel well.
I know this is late, but I hope you drank plenty of water Heat exhaustion/stroke scares me. Hope you're feeling better now.
Yes I chugged so much water, between the heat and all the water I just felt sick to my stomach. I recovered well and will never run in heat like that ever again.
A few months ago there was a big stink in my office because only certain people were being scheduled to be on call for holidays, myself included, but I didn't whine about it. My boss said she would try to make the schedule more even so everyone had atleast one holiday. Well, she failed miserably because since that time I have been stuck on call for Christmas, Memorial Day, and i'm sure some other holiday that I can't remember. She just sent out the new quarterly schedule today. Guess who is on call for the 4th of July and their birthday - ME!!! WTF!!!!!!!!

It's time for you to whine! Or at least point this out to her. She may be scheduling you because you don't complain about it, whereas others would, so it's less people for her to deal with.

Well I was just checking facebook when I came across a birth announcement from my cousin. His son was born this morning. Major gut punch. I knew they where expecting a boy sometime this summer but I thought it wasn't until July/August. I happy that everything went well and both mom and baby are healthy, but it hurts alot knowing I should be in the same spot. I forsee a shit ton of whine in my future. Fuck this day.

Time to speak up.
I had the "but you don't have kids" card thrown in my face by one of my coworkers a few months ago and my boss did not back me up. (thankfully, that bitch just left) We're short staffed at the moment so we don't have alot of wiggle room with schedule changes, which sucks. Fortunately, one of the other girls offered to switch weeks with me for my birthday. She will be out of town for the 4th for her own birthday, otherwise she would have taken it.

Andplusalso just because you don't have kids does NOT mean you don't deserve to enjoy holidays!
DH hit a deer last night. I'm trying to get a quote for repairs.
Did you guys keep the deer?
When I hit my first deer at the age of 18, I called my parents sobbing and my Mom asked "well, should we put it in the back of the truck?" Cue further bawling.
(I get that harvesting it is way better than letting it rot on the side of the road - I WAS JUST SO EMOTIONAL)
Steam has a fun mini game going on during their sale but the servers are apparently overloaded and the game's not working. I got to level 16 and now I'm stuck waiting. Super lame.

So. Today.
Went out and purchased H's Father's Day gifts and my credit card was declined at the big gift. I assume because it was a first use and it was a big purchase because it was well within credit limits. It took forever to pay for because the store has shitty reception and I couldn't pull up the credit card website (completely forgetting the back of the card had info) so I had to take money out of our bank account to pay for it.
Then, went to the Barnes & Noble to pick up The Handmaid's Tale for book club, didn't appreciate the price, and bought The Phantom Tollbooth instead. Went to the library to see if any of the libraries had The Handmaid's Tale and they are all checked out with holds. So that was cool. Guess I'll just buy it on my Kindle.
And then a tile sales rep for one of our lines called and asked if she could so by the showroom to see what pieces or display was missing so I said sure and had to high tail it back across town and hit every single light red.......and then she never showed up.
But now, my bigger chicks are pecking away outside and stretching their legs and wings while the little ones are enjoying the quiet of their crate without the big noisy ones. And Skittle is passed out on my foot.
Oh! And I bought 5 raffle tickets for a fundraiser with the local twins club and two of my tickets won! So now I get a free year family membership to the natural history museum here and a free bleaching at a dentists office.
