Re: FTS (Friday the 13th)
Friday the 13th. Should have known. Craptastic morning so far.
LO woke up at 6 when we're supposed to get up at 7. He went back to sleep after making a lot of noise, and I had just really got to sleep when the alarm went off. So I snoozed it... twice. Then he was distracted and would only nurse one side. So I had to pump the other side. I have no clean pants or bras that fit. Finally take him to daycare when I realize that I forgot half of my breastpump at home. Back home for the pump and off to work. Within 1 mile of my house, they had the road down to 1 lane in two different places. Finally, traffic opened back up and I moved to the right lane only to have some guy hauling a$$ to make a left turn and almost hit me. I slammed on the brakes and horn and swerved out of the way thankfully. Then at least 4 more instances of the road being shut down to 1 lane on the rest of the way to work -- but not consistently the same lane. Water main work here. Power line work there. Then a pothole crew. Ugh. I was 1.25 hours late and I have zero leave.
I know this is a total first world problem and I feel bad even writing this with what Cassidy is going through today but I need to tell someone
Our house lot fell through for llike the 6th time it feels. After months of searching in vain for a house and finally finding a house we loved our offer to be beat, we decided to build. My DH is super picky about the type of windows, what direction the sink faces, the stype of storage in the shower, the gutters on the house, the degree of grading and draining the house has so building is really the only way we will ever get a house. We interviewed several builders and found one and are all ready to go with the money and everything--just to have lot after lot not work out.
I am so bummed and barely slept because I feel so unsettled and really feel the need to not be living in an apartment with a toddler anymore.

16 read! my read shelf:
I've been warned by friends of the first trimester exhaustion/mental fog, so I have seen it coming. But man, it has hit hard. This week I had several bench trials. Usually I just run into court with the police report for simple bench trials, but since I've been in such a fog I took all the files home this past weekend, reviewed all the reports, typed out questions, read them aloud to make sure it was all there, etc. Only one of the trials went, and it was a DWI. I was extremely prepared, but I forgot to ask one little question, a question so basic and simple that the defense attorney didn't even catch it, the judge did. So basic that it was completely detrimental to my case and I lost without the defense even putting on a witness.
I felt like such a dumbass, wasting the cop's time to come in and testify and just lose in a way that could have been so easily avoided.
Luckily I work with people that say "Well, so he got away with it this once, no big deal". Yeah, it is a big deal to me. I hate losing when I know I was right.
