I don't even have the energy to be mad right now. So I just stopped talking to him and went to work.

So my daughter's father called almost in tears. A tree fell on his house. Thankfully he was at work, his girlfriend had her two boys and their 2 yo daughter out at a movie and DD was with me so no one was hurt. But this tree demolished their living room at least. From the pic it almost looks like there is a Christmas tree in the rubble. My heart is breaking for them to have this all happen right before Christmas.

That is awful, the storms that went through the area were pretty bad yesterday (I was at the Children's Museum).  I will say a prayer for them, that is terrible timing and I can only imagine how upset everyone is.  

I also want to throat punch your DH- they just don't get it sometimes.  My DH said jokingly the other night that if I kept eating such a shitty diet "I am going to give our kid the diabetes."  Uh, maybe you should have gauged my mood before saying that "joke" because I was PISSED.  He has since apologized, but I was just thinking what the hell?!?!  Ugh, men sometimes.

I'm counting down the minutes until I can leave work. This place is dead today.

Ugh! How much longer?

[littlesthobo]

housecarder I'm so glad everyone is okay, how awful for that to happen right before Christmas! And why do men think they're dying when they have a cold, yet we're not allowed to feel like crap? Ugh.

housecarder, Scary! Glad everyone is ok. I still want to push your DH down stairs and tell him to just walk it off....

We're still in the closet about this pregnancy.

My in-laws' big gift to us this year was to take 4 generations of the family (8 people, from DH's grandparents to our DD) on an all expenses paid trip to a resort-ish rented condo 1,000 miles away where we will do a water park, amusement park, historic area, etc. They bought everyone travel guides and told us to read them and pick out what we wanted to do. SURPRISE!



And OH BTW, they had to book way ahead to make sure they got the unit they wanted. So they already booked the dates- the last week of June. I'll be 36 weeks.

DH and I nervously exchanged glances and mumbled things about needing to check his work calendar. He's on an academic calendar and they were all "We looked at it online!! It's FINE!"


Awesome.


FWIW I know it's not impossible and some airlines will allow it, I just don't wanna.

I have mixed feelings on this surprise. On one hand, that is so generous of your in-laws, and it sounds like a really fun vacation! But I would hate for someone to book a trip for me without any heads up on the timing. How can you really know someone's schedule? And I personally would not be flying at 36 weeks pregnant. I know you often are allowed to but still. And I love water and amusement parks, but being pregnant really limits what you can do so it would just make me sad to miss out on so many rides. Good luck with whatever you decide. Maybe they can go earlier and just get a different unit?

Oh my god housecarder, that looks terrible! So glad no one was home when that happened.

Yeah DD's room is the upstairs one to the right of the door...the one with the top of the tree in it. I'm very thankful she was here. Their Christmas tree was crushed and the house was shifting as they grabbed clothes and stuff out of the house. They are in a motel temporarily and a bunch of people bought and wrapped new presents.

If I didn't know the baby was in my ute I would be freaked out about an ectopic. My left shoulder is killing me!

But I found out I like sleeping on my back right now and my body pillow is under my left shoulder!

Did a triple threat today. Had dairy in each of my meals. ...oops. tummy hates me tonight.
