Married Bio
Work. I still love my job but I have been losing some ridiculous trials lately.
Aaaaand I got accused, in open court, of not disclosing evidence, even though I watched the defendant's attorney look through his stack of papers, and LOOK RIGHT AT THE REPORT I GAVE HIM. Right after he looked at it, he stared at me and told him I never gave it to him. WTH?!?! He got angry prosecutor dehko at that point.
I still lost, because apparently even when a kid testifies that he told the cop about all the drug paraphernalia in his room, I still can't prove he intended to use it. I'll have to make sure that bong isn't used as a paperweight next time.
Zac's has a fever and I have to be at work instead of at home cuddling with him, my momma gets that job today. :-/
My coffee didn't even take the edge off my tiredness this morning after a really rough night with Alex. However it did wake the baby up to the point of drop kicking my bladder while I'm stuck at my desk waiting for the clients in the waiting area to be taken to their respective meetings. Once the lawyers take over, I can finally run to the bathroom.
Oh! I just discovered another one...
So if you remember DH and I are in super save mode because we are going to have to bring about $10-15k to closing when we sell our house.
I just checked our bank account...dh has spent $110 this week on eating out for lunches and dinners. Sometimes his job doesn't allow for him to come home for lunch so I would be ok with MAYBE half of that. We just went grocery shopping on Sunday so it's not like we don't have anything in the house for him to have for dinner.
Dh is so uninvolved in our finances that it's almost ridiculous. He basically does one of two things....1. he asks before he buys and then gets mad if I tell him it's not a necessary purchase or we can't afford it. Or he 2. buys stuff and tells me about it after the fact. It gets so frustrating because he has no clue and it's a PITA for me.
Ugh.
Mold. It can suck an egg.
I hate finding stuff like this when we're ripping up crap. It makes me so paranoid.
Hope he feels better!
Alex didn't want to sleep, or what? She figured out that the floor is NOT in fact the best place in her room to sleep?
MIL is coming for a few days the week of Labor Day.
Why? Because she has a job interview in Cleveland.
Yep...they're considering moving here. They hate Ohio. They do nothing but biitch about it here (the weather is NEVER right for them
). DH has to work. I really hope I don't have to spend much time with her alone.
I totally feel you on this one! I have to talk to DH constantly about unnecessary spending. We are in a save mode too right now and he seems to have no clue sometimes. Since he drives all day for work he always stops and buys drinks and food. I don't know how many times I have to tell him he is over paying for items. I can buy him the exact same stuff at the grocery store and spend less because I am buying it in a package instead of one at a time. I must give him credit this week though he listened to me and only stop once.
Yes, we are definitely in the same boat. It's so frustrating. I feel like I am nagging him constantly and we both get frustrated about it, but I have no choice. I don't even know how to get him involved more so he understands the stress it puts on me. I try to tell him, "hey - we have xyz to pay in the next few days that's going to put us low until we get paid next week." or "our savings needs to be built back up because we just dropped $X for whatever reason...we need to replenish that since our savings is about to be nonexistent when/if we ever sell our house." He will go a couple of days and do well and then it just goes out the window by Wednesday of each week. I just hate feeling like I am nagging him.
She's still quite happy on the floor usually. It's the two year molars that are causing issues now. She spent the night either whimpering while she was trying to sleep, or screaming when it woke her up. Although, of course neither H or I figured out that was the issue until morning when I took a look at her gums. She had Tylenol and a popsicle for breakfast and was back to her happy self before I left for work.
I think we have the exact same conversations with our DHs. Seriously I know exactly how you feel. I also don't want to be a "nag" but I am the one who deals with our monthly bugdet and I pay all our bills. I've told him many times that it stresses me out that he just spends and doesn't think about it because "it's just $10". But combine that $10 over and over again and it's a decent amount of money. Maybe our DH's are the same person in two different bodies. He will do well for a few days and then it's right back to the old ways and we have to have the same converation all over again.
Ditto.
I feel so badly for my SIL. She has had a hell of a month.
It started out at the beginning of the month with my brother telling her he wanted a divorce. From that happening she has decided that she is going to be moving back to Ohio/Indiana area where she grew up, so she is dealing with the fear of completely starting over (new place to live, new job, etc.).
The day after my brother gave her the news her dad went into the hospital with a heart attack and has pretty much been there since then. At one point he was released from the hospital, but ended up back there before the day was even over with congestive heart failure. Yesterday they found out her dad has cancer. They don't know what kind yet, so they don't know what the outlook is and how treatable it is yet. And to top it all off, she has been dealing with health issues of her own.
I want to take some pressure off of her so badly, but I know that there is only so much I can do. So I guess I'm posting this FTS for her!

Our phone rang at 4 am this morning. The earthquake dislodged a pipe at one of our rental properties and it gradually worked loose last night. Water everywhere in our unit and the unit below us.
And that's when I discovered that DH never took out insurance on the unit. We're covered by the master policy for the condo association for structural and external things. But because this was the pipe within our unit, it's not covered.
So much for a day of shopping . . .
And thank god the baby is late and I wasn't in labor or the hospital last night when it happened.
