Don't mind me, I'm just watching grooming glove reviews on youtube. All of my cats hate the furminator brush.

MH kept me up most of the night coughing. He didn't take any nyquil before bed. Thanks dude. Why can't men be quiet? He got up to get water. Stomps around the house then body slams himself back on the bed. He tosses and turns for an hour and then decides he's going to just get up to shower. He then proceeds to drop every fucking shampoo bottle, body wash etc while in the shower. Really? I know I'm a light sleeper but WTF. Let's not wake up the kids earlier than we need to... I constantly tell MH that he is the loudest human ever. Like he walks down the stairs like an elephant! When he's not travelling, he works from home, and it never fails that just as B is about to go down for his nap, he gets on a phone call where you can hear him in Guam, and has to go up and down the stairs 1000 times. B is a heavy sleeper, but he needs quiet to fall asleep, then he's good. MH just can't get it together to be quiet for that 20 minutes per day!

Oh brother, don't even get me started on the loud talking! It's bad enough when he's talking on the phone, but when my SIL visits, I'm reminded that DH comes from a family of loud talkers.

joelies do they have Tball practice or just games? C had his first practice last night and it was something. He was generally ok but I have never heard more fake fart noises in my life than I did while they were lining up to bat. 7 boys feeding off of each other's bad behavior. At one point there was a kid rolling in the grass, another running away, and another throwing his glove in the air yelling catch. C also put his mouth on the T for some odd reason. Just wanted a taste I guess. Weirdo! Saturday's game will be interesting. Soccer is like this, and it's just hysterical to watch. Somewhere between 8 and 10 kids. They do drills for the first 20 minutes, break for oranges, and then come back and play a 20 minute game against each other. There's always at least two kids not doing anything, two doing their own thing, and one five year old who is so powerful and athletic he should already be on the high school team. Josie usually find a friend and hold hands with him or her the entire time -- very productive.

Oh brother, don't even get me started on the loud talking! It's bad enough when he's talking on the phone, but when my SIL visits, I'm reminded that DH comes from a family of loud talkers. The funny thing is I am a loud talker. I have always been a loud talker. And when I am not thinking about it, I tend to be over the top. However, I can modulate my voice when necessary (like when trying to not wake a sleeping toddler or preschooler. MH overall is a quieter talker, except when talking on a work call. Somehow I think he believes having a booming voice makes him more important or something. So whenever I tell him to be quiet he gets all offended and has to point out that I talk louder. Yes, I often do. But not now, Jerk. Oh, and MH is also the loudest sleeper. We do have an extra bedroom, but, like joelies, we only use it when someone is sick or for some other extenuating circumstance (like I'll send MH in there when he's been working non stop so he can sleep in the morning without the kids coming in the room). For us, the rule is the sick person gets to keep our room and the healthy person goes to the guest room. That way the sick one is more contained and not sharing the kids' bathroom etc. Wow. I seem to have a lot to say about all this.

guster , it was so sad. And I feel so real about how relationships fall apart. It's all the little things over time and not connecting. I find it's rarely one event, but a build up over the years. I missed the first 2 minutes so if there was 1 big incident that set them spiraling, ignore everything I just typed. ETA and I don't watch weekly so I haven't seen the past few episodes either so... I might be talking out of my ass.

I might be talking out of my ass. IIRC, Last weeks was pretty much what you mentioned -- these little every day annoyances that lead to lots of miscommunication and frustration. This slow roll into a pretty dark place. I felt like they were both trying to do something small but meaningful for the other toward the end with the Ramen and the sink, and i was really rooting for them to just see what the other person tried to do. It was so realistic to me

Apparently the winds were strong enough last night, they knocked power lines down 4 miles south of us. We need to re-think our standing outside when the tornado sirens are going off...

My grandfather would always stand outside during tornadoes to look for it. Lol. My sister and her family went to the movies last night. They knew they were supposed to get bad weather and didn't' want to be at their house since they don't have a storm shelter.

I can't wait to see pictures of the house,@peach! Now that the house itself is ready did the builders give you any idea when they'll be pouring the foundation? This is where it gets tricky. A's grandpa owns a small excavation company. He's built all the family homes by hand but it takes.. a while. The man is in his late 70's and still works 14 hour days. So we decided to have him do the excavation and foundation and we would hire a builder for the rest. So grandpa's current job site was supposed to be done 2 weeks ago and they would start last week.. Then last week they told us it got delayed and they would start next week. Yesterday our builder talked to them and they are starting in 3 weeks. And I just.... I'm seeing red. It will take 2 days to dig our basement! 2! I just want it done! And now of course, it's raining for the next 3 days. The house was scheduled to be delivered the end of May. Now it's looking like the end of June. Which will put us moving in mid-August. A full month after we're supposed to. Grandpa is the very best at what he does. He's an artist with what he can do with land. He's made our hay field into a gorgeous yard. AND he's saving us 15K in costs.. So I'm trying very hard to be patient... But it's getting harder.

Ear plugs changed my life guys. I got them when C was a baby and we would take shifts. It helped me turn off when it was my time to sleep. Now I can't sleep without them. Bonus is that I didn't hear C yelling for his Captain America action figure at 3:30am yesterday so DH had to deal with that. [br Uep. Ear plugs for life.

Congrats on the house peachsmama! Can’t wait to see pics!! Happy Anniversary yummeecookee 🍻 I’m caught up but not good at commenting whIle MH is home. He will be going to Iraq for 60 days around May 21. 😪 Then he will be back for the big move. We are prepping now. The basement is a disaster. Trying to get rid of as much as possible. Also- just want to say that Letty never cries at preschool drop off unless MH is at drop off with me 🤷🏼♀️ She’s obsessed with him.

Morning, I'm home with N who doesn't ha s a fever yet, so hoping she stay fever free so I can go to work tomorrow.
My sister just texted that my 3 yo neice fell off the bed and hit her head and puked a few times and is now at the ER. Of course she flew out for work this am and is now flying home. She seems to be acting more normal, but so scary. What is it with my family and brain injuries 😰.
Also if anyone needs a fantastic but depressing book, the Bright hour is fantastic, I read it in 3 days. I also would randomly start sobbing while reading it since it's about having cancer and 2 kids.
Lol I'm such a Debbie downer right now, sorry.
