We have the worst fucking mailman in the world. He's well-known for breaking mailboxes and he'll claim a mailbox is blocked and he can't deliver the mail if there's a car anywhere near the boxes. It's ridiculous. At the house we used to live in we actually filed a complaint because our terrible mailman got right in my face and screamed at me when I told him there was a clear path to our mailbox and he should be delivering our mail. The next day DH went in and the guy’s manager said, “oh, I know this address, you guys are the ones who wrote the nastygram” while our mailman stood there smirking. We sent another complaint, but never heard back. Super system there USPS. We moved shortly after, thank god. I didn’t need a vindictive asshole knowing where I lived and handling my personal mail. We and like half our town have complained and have been told that it's really hard to fire a mailman. K.

I’m watching Trolls with the toddlers to avoid the rest of H’s family. I’m about to start shopping for a garden bench.

We just got home from the cabin. DS is playing the the housecleaner's daughter while they finish up and calling her Chester. Her name is Jocelyn. WTF kid, you're embarrassing me. My house is clean AF though. DS2 was chasing a boy at the playground yesterday and yelling pickle. I asked him why and he said that was the boy's name. I have no idea what this kid's name actually is but I'm guessing it isn't pickle.

My ILs are here. They said they would be over at 4 and showed up at 3:30. DS2 was in the shower and I still needed to shower. So now I'm taking an extra long time to get ready because I'm annoyed.

I wish I could share my mail carrier with all of you. She's the best. She leaves suckers for the kids every week or so. When I was super pregnant, she would bring all of our packages into the house for me then when I was on maternity leave I was waiting on a package with an outfit for DS's pictures. She took my cell number and texted me on a Saturday morning to let me know the package was at the post office and what time she'd be by to drop it off. Then she would text when she had a package so she wouldn't wake the baby if he was napping.

I just filed a complaint because I’m really sick of this person’s shit. We just moved here, too. I hope he/she isn’t a vindictive asshole. The stories make me think nothing is going to change, so I probably should’ve just kept it to myself.

My co-irker just walked by and I heard him tell someone that he just got to work about an hour ago b/c he as "babysitting" this morning. ![](https://cdn.someecards.com/someecards/usercards/MjAxMi0xZTk5MmI3YWQ4NTUzMWRi.png) <iframe width="9.400000000000034" height="6.8799999999999955" style="position: absolute; width: 9.4px; height: 6.88px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 12px; top: 100px;" id="MoatPxIOPT3_20511417" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="9.400000000000034" height="6.8799999999999955" style="position: absolute; width: 9.4px; height: 6.88px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 422px; top: 100px;" id="MoatPxIOPT3_68949102" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="9.400000000000034" height="6.8799999999999955" style="position: absolute; width: 9.4px; height: 6.88px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 12px; top: 387px;" id="MoatPxIOPT3_96425861" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="9.400000000000034" height="6.8799999999999955" style="position: absolute; width: 9.4px; height: 6.88px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 422px; top: 387px;" id="MoatPxIOPT3_4272751" scrolling="no"></iframe> H's response to "are you babysitting" is usually, "no, I only had my own kids."

So we are doing major decluttering today. I swear DH is nesting but at the same time we need it. I just wish I can help more. Every time I bend over I feel like I am going to throw up.

H is working on his truck, and DS2 is playing with the air compressor. He keeps blowing air on himself pretending he's being blown away and screaming "help me! Help me!" Little weirdo.

H has ribs in the smoker and later I'll be making the pasta salad the pobre linked the other day and some broccoli slaw. I'm considering opening a cider soon.

We had a nice hike and H just started the grill. We're doing ribs too. I'm making pasta salad and chickpea salad, and strawberry sauce to go on top of the cheesecake. I do not want to adult tomorrow.

MH made ribs for the first time ever. I almost wish he hadn't because now I want him to make them all the time. 🤤

I want some ice cream but I think I need to wait awhile. So full. I let MH have one of the Angry Orchard rosé ciders bobyn. I had a few sips, and you were right. Not great 😔.

We are home from another birthday party. I sent DS upstairs with his tablet and I’m chilling some prosecco.

We’re at the pool. A kid I was a day camp counselor for from when he was 9-12 and then he was a counselor in training under my brother is here. He recognized me which is pretty cool
But he’s here with HIS kids. I feel so old. So old

This is disappointing It really just tasted like they mixed rosé wine with hard cider. I don't know what I was expecting. But that was my first sip of alcohol since the beginning of December. So maybe it tasted not amazing because of that. I mean, I'll still drink them once this baby's out. I'm not wasting booze lol.

DS and I are home from Motherboy 2018. Chicago was a gracious host and we had so much fun eating and drinking our way through Lincoln Park with Cher and SweetPotato.
