H got rear ended tonight. He's ok. His new truck isn't. Just very frustrating. Drivers are so fucking distracted by cell phones. I'm folding massive amounts of laundry and packing for the weekend. Thinking about having a beer to calm my nerves Arg. So shitty I’m sorry. Yes. Have a beer. Then I’ll have someone to cheers as I am currently enjoying a Pineau!

Ugh, so many changes to my original plans for today. Working 5 hours and now that my mom is sick - I'm going to stay home and clean off my desk and the surrounding area because we bought a new desk last night. Originally $1000 on clearance for $80 being sold as is. It looked sound last night, so I'm hoping it stays that way. H is all "we can bring it home, but not set it up" and I'm asking WTF are we going to do with it if we don't set it up. So, I might also be reorganizing this level so that the desk can go along another wall, but we shall see. I'm also going to be taking the front off of K's crib to give her a "big girl" bed and hoping to also take away the bink tonight. She doesn't use it for naps at daycare - or if she falls asleep in the vehicle - so I'm hoping it won't be a difficult transition. H, however, won't be home at all tonight. I only found out because I was trying to figure out if I could still keep my normal appointment tonight instead of cancelling just because my mom isn't going - therefore I don't want to drag the kids by myself. That's when he told me he had plans to be somewhere at 5:30 (which normally I wouldn't care because I wouldn't be at home) and that he can just go later when someone else comes up. Which means gone until at least midnight. So I asked if he went at 5:30, was he planning to be home earlier and he said "no". Um, don't you think it would have been nice to tell your wife that you had zero plans to be home when she would be getting home with 2 kids around bed time? Guess not. WTF?

I don't think 4 bottles of wine is going to be enough for the weekend for me and my girlfriend. I may go pick more up at some point.

Some of PA is getting a foot of snow overnight. I'm hoping it pushes a little more East so we get it too. 🤞

I need to vent.
I arranged another speaker to come speak to our MOMS Club group about car seat recommendations and safety. The speaker is scheduled as a member meet up that replaces playgroups for the day. The “member meet ups” are once a month. Anyway, I arranged a speaker for November and only a few ppl came. I arranged a speaker again and they only ppl signed up are the people who agreed to do childcare so that members could listen to the speakers. I am so frustrated! I mean playgroups are cancelled the weeks this happens and members find out when these events are when the newsletter comes out at the start of the month. So it’s not like people have other plans. I spend time looking for speakers, emailing and arranging, them finding moms to do childcare only to have NO ONE COME.

I may kill my H.
Littlest has diarrhea for the past couple of days. He got sent home yesterday for it. DH and I decided to keep him home and his parents are going to watch him. He also has a bad diaper rash.
Last night I asked him to help with drop off. He said ok. Guess what he didn't help do this morning? I asked him when I was going ready to give Littlest some Advil to help his butt. Guess what he didn't do? He also told his parents I would drop off Littlest at 8:30. Guys, I start work at 8.
Like, dude. Where the fuck is your head?

jedi that does sound frustrating. How do you go about picking topics? Maybe they are just not topics that the group is interested in? Or the other way to get people to commit and understand the work involved in organizing is to have them to the organizing. Maybe that might help more people to commit. Presentations are difficult. We have planned presentations for the community at my work and there are often struggles with attendance. Try not to let it bother you, you can only do so much.

jedi, maybe you should start sending out email reminders that really hype up the speakers. I know that's extra work but it might help get people to show up. Do you have refreshments? Or maybe a small doorprize? Also, other ways to help get people motivated to show up. People are selfish - sad but true. So sometimes you have to bribe them without them feeling like they are being bribed....

I didn't sleep worth shit last night and feel like I'm coming down with something (thanks to the 3 out of 6 people who were sick in the meeting I was in the other day). I have zero time to be sick right now and just want my bed. I have a stupid meeting this morning that I can't miss (which doesn't start until 9:30, and I thought was 9, so I'm sitting in my van). Then I might go home and sleep and cancel my afternoon. We will see.

Oh since it's a yucky complainy kind of day for me, DH went out to the new house yesterday to measure the a couple of things. We had them put in a wetbar in the dinnette for a beverage station. DH was worried that the space they left for the beverage fridge was not big enough. Sure enough, it looks like it will be about 1/2 too narrow. We gave them the measurements, and they fucked up. The granite was installed yesterday. I have no clue how they will fix it. But they better figure it out! Oh and 13 days until we take possession!!

redandblue usually the board meets to decide topics. This was a topic that was suggested by a member. RunsforWineandCarbs great ideas. I’ll give those a try next time there’s a speaker, which will be April more than likely

Maybe being in the mountains you will get something and hopefully will leave me along, LoL. Either way, I hope you have a great weekend!
