Dude just taught X how to headbang to Meshuggah and I'm afraid he's going to hurt his neck.

Hey! tgrimes & cagoldi, I can’t imagine being in either of those situations. I would probably lose it on someone. I’m very thankful for our gun laws up here... I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a gun aside from in a holster on a police officer or a hunting rifle in a safe.

DH, (possibly N) and I are headed to Michigan on Thursday. We’re going to be staying in Charlotte, anyone nearby?! I forget who’s in Michigan but I know it’s a pretty decent size state.

Finally checking in.
I was back in the office today and it was a pretty bad day all around. I felt a bit light-headed all day and ended up with a headache pretty early on, which I never shook off. Then I'm not going to get into the long involved story but I feel like l am getting screwed over at work and basically being told it's a great "opportunity" for me. Then I had a high profile client meeting that turned into a trainwreck because apparently a weird bug slipped into a report I was demoing (we upgraded over the weekend), which completely invalidated the process I pitched to him. So it was just one thing after another. At least DH has been acting as my sounding board. And he gave me a giant piece of cake, so there's that.
Oh and I ran today, outside even since it was 45 degrees at 5:30am. My first mile or two involved a lot of coughing but then I settled into a pretty normal pace to finish out at 4 miles. I was exhausted all day, but still it went better than expected.

Hi! I’ve been quiet the last week or so because life just kinda sucks right now. But I’m trying to pull out of this funk! I have been keeping up though. I’m speechless at both cagoldi and tgrimes posts! Holy hell to the crazy in both!

cagoldi and tgrimes... I have no words. You both have more self control than I do. I’m with wineallthetime, I love my keurig and I love my reusable cup. I prefer it to the k-cups because I don’t feel like I get a big enough cup of coffee with the k-cups. Although I did make the setting 14 oz for my travel cup this morning and that was overzealous... we had some spillage. Omg, I forgot about the dreaded witching hour. Every song night from about 7-10 Charlotte just fusses and fusses unless someone is walking her. We’ve been eyeing a mamaroo and I’m ready to go get one bus weekend if it might give us a break. Thankfully dh is Great and fully takes this on and walks her while we watch tv and I sit on the couch with wine, lol. In my defense me waking her doesn’t really work because she thinks she should be nursing.

And +1 to unicorn's endorsement of refillable K-cups. It takes a fee seconds to clean out the cup and we buy our coffee in bulk, so it's cheaper and there's less garbage. And it's delicious!!

So, Dh’s grandma died. The funeral is going to be either the weekend of the 23rd or the 3rd. I’m a selfish jerk because the 23rd is my birthday and the 3rd is dh’s last weekend of paternity leave, and I wish there was a way we could get out of it. Dh is big on family obligation (which is something I love about him) so he won’t miss it. So, my selfishness aside, I also don’t really want to take C to a family gathering where everyone is going to want to touch her and hold her during flu season. So, I can send dh and the boys, but that leaves me and Charlotte alone for a few days which I don’t love, I can go to California but skip the funeral which I’m sure will get me some side eye, or I can suck it up and go and wear her and try to keep my distance from people. WWN13D?

WWN13D? I would go and wear her. Keep her tucked low and if anyone gets to touchy just make an excuse to excuse yourself. Or normally, people would comment on the wrap and I would say "oh I love it! Let's me snuggle and keeps germy hands off her!" Pretty direct hint lol.

No, they live full time In Nevada and I wouldn’t want to ask them to come out again so soon. And thank you...his grandma was a salty German woman (step mom to his Hawaiian dad) who still smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, drank martinis and always told me I was beautiful... I liked her!!

@xolastunicorn I think no one would blame you if you stayed home. Otherwise I’d do what others said, put that baby in a moby and put your arms around that, always worked for me. I’m sorry for your family’s loss.

Thanks wineallthetime and dapostrophe. Nothing too earth shattering, just sickness, seizures, marriage, and lack of money. But I think that we are on the mend sickness wise, seizures are getting a bit better with yet more med changes, H and I are communicating better after a rough patch, and I go back to work in a few weeks so the money aspect will be better soon. No matter how much I plan for my unemployment in the winter, I never have as much money as I’d like to get through. The real problem is that I like to shop too much!
