I Hate Today.
I get a phone call this morning in regards to the condo we're buying, which is set to close TOMORROW. Apparently, the HOA is owed $14,400+ in back fees from the seller (this is a short sale). A lien was filed against the property/seller on DECEMBER 20,2011. After we applied for the HOA to review our purchase. I don't know WTF is going to happen and I'm beyond irritated.
I bought at $221 book for class 2 weeks ago and then found a friend who loaned me her copy. I forgot to take it back to the bookstore last week when I was at school. I looked at the receipt today and return deadlines for textbooks was January 13.
I have a wedding cake tasting scheduled for Friday and I don't want to do it. The woman is super sweet but she had me on the phone for 45 minutes talking about purple cupcake liners. Remind me this is my last wedding cake ever.
I started to get sick this weekend and now my throat is killing me. Since my nose was running like a faucet, I now am featuring lovely "tissue nose" and the skin is peeling off of it. I didn't realize this until I got home after I had been shopping this morning.
Why do you hate today?

Re: I Hate Today.
So clearly Will is back in the top as the favorite child?
I'm so sorry.
That sucks. And what makes it worse is that she really doesn't know what the heck is going on and why mom wants her to sleep. Do you have any Benedryl handy?

UGH!!! That sucks. You've had your fill this week. As I mentioned on FB Owen barfed too, fortunately only once. It was my very first experience with crib barf (actually barf of any kind from either kid, I know, I've been spoiled)
I'm so tired today.
I need to edit a document a coworker created, it's password protected (standard) but do you think he used our standard password? no. do you think he can remember the password he used? no.

I'm a bit hungover, so that sucks.
I kinda ended things with the BF Sunday night. It was/is the right thing to do (for now, at least, while he gets some shiiit together) but I'm pretty sad. I've talked to him almost every day for the past two years, and we've been exclusively dating for about 6 months or so. It wasn't a big ugly thing and we'll remain friends regardless of if we end up together.

My whines are minor but.
When I was running this morning I accidentally stepped off a curb I didn't see and then 2 minutes later slid on a patch of ice. My back aches now.
I forgot I wasn't telling Crazy Car Pool that I was working on losing weight. (She's also a dietician. A dumbasfuck one but a dietician). When I mentioned it in the car this morning it was like someone slipped her an upper. She was salivating to give me advice on how to not be fat. sigh

While I was reading this, I could see the KILLKILLKILL part at the end and I actually thought that was the coworkers password. Which would have freaked me out.
I'm sorry everyone else is having sucky days too. Feels like a Monday.

Boo. I'm sorry you're all having horrible awful days. And Okla - sorry about the breakup. Sounds like you did the right thing, but that doesn't make it feel any less shitty.
I'm not hating my day. I had a slight cold and decided to go home and work in my PJs. I plan on doing minimal work. Maximum lounging. And D justthissecond booked the airfare for our next big vacation. I'm happy dancing.
I'm sorry everyone else is having a bad day. May I add that when I was about to leave when dropping Will off at school that little evil child shoved him down so hard that he just laid on the ground crying that he wanted to go home. Their teacher didn't see it because during dropoff time the one was getting stuff ready in the other room and the other was talking with a parent, so I felt all tattletaily when I was like, "Evil Child is way out of control this morning, you should probably keep an eye on him and keep him away from Will."
This probably makes me a bad person, but man, I hate that kid. I wish he wasn't in Will's class.
We didn't get in until 1:00 in the morning because there was a wreck on the interstate, and I was too wired and in a strange place to really sleep once we got here. We went to the hospital before the surgery this morning, and Ethan was really good, BUT he slept a good 30 minutes in the car on the way home, so now I don't think he's going to take a nap.
I was really counting on a nap before SIL drops off my nephew for me to keep while she goes to the hospital.

Crappy days all around.
My day isn't so bad. I went to the dentist for the first time in probably 8 years today. They filled a little spot where my gums are receding. Other than that, they told me my teeth look great and I should continue doing what I am doing. YAY! I was so nervous about it, especially since we are already in the hole since my H had to have all of his crazy dental work done.
Plus, they just called and said they messed up my billing, and they forgot that my husband "referred" me (since we have different last names), so I get $125 back. Score.
My only gripe is that J has apparently started trashing me to Connor and it pisses me off.
A few weeks ago Connor informed me that daddy said I kicked him. Wtf? I promised Connor that I certainly did not kick his father, but he persisted. I asked J about it, he played dumb. Last night Connor brought it up again, only this time it was that I kicked his daddy out. Trashtastic Put your four year old in the middle of your own personal problems. I told J that was inappropriate and immature and he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about (despite Connor still repeating it endlessly in the background). This morning he called and admitted it, but really only apologized that connor was repeating it (because he only told him that once!) No kidding. I never believed otherwise.
This is in addition to Connor coming home from Js and making a huge deal out of telling Kevin that he didnt miss him that week, because he only misses his mommy and his daddy when he's gone. I'm sure that was coached too. Completely unnecessary, ***. Trying to make Connor dislike Kevin isn't going to do anything other than hurt Connor. He's not going anywhere, so it can only benefit Connor to have a good relationship. What's your end game here?

I'm home again with a sick baby. My husband is taking off tomorrow to be with him, and my mother-in-law is planning on being with him Thursday, if necessary. I really hope he is feeling better by Friday so no one has to take another day off work.
I'm also annoyed because I called my mom yesterday and was filling her in on Isaiah being sick, and she says, "It's times like this I wish we hadn't moved because then I could watch him and he wouldn't be exposed to these germs." Uh, duh. That was the plan from the time J and I got engaged. You don't need to state the obvious. Even after three years, part of me (ok, a big part) is still bitter that they moved, especially now that Isaiah is here and they only get to see him every few months. But a big reason they moved was for my dad's health, and I know he feels much better down there, so I feel guilty for being bitter.
Gosh, I am sorry everyone's day is the suck.
I will send anti suck vibes post haste.
That is seriously awful Wendy! Way to mess with your kid a$$hole.
"That chick wins at Penises, for sure." -- Fenton
I know. I'm sure he thinks by making me the bad guy he will make Connor love him more or something ridiculous like that. Its classic manipulation. All it will do is make him confused and conflicted and feel like he has to choose between us when he absolutely should never be put in that position.
The thing is, he knows I won't engage in that stuff (because really, do you want me to tell the kid how you were verbally/emotionally abusive, stole from our family, threw things at me, threatened my life, and repeatedly told me you didn't want to be married to me prior to me 'kicking you out'? Yeah, no) so he can just trash me all he wants with no consequence.
Better to ask forgiveness than permission!
That would be like torture.
I'm sorry, Wendy. I went through similar with my ex and evil-ex-mil. It gets better, quicker than you think. Connor will respect and admire you someday for not putting him in the middle either. Also, document in case you guys wind up in court at
My gripe is Dimi's never great sleeping is out of whack again. He woke up at 2:30. I was ready to take him to bed with us, but no "Crib Mommy! Hold my hand! No Mommy Daddy bed!" Then he woke up again at 3. It was Mr M's turn and Dimi was perfectly willing to come to bed. Then he had at least one nightmare. Finally he woke up at 6 all "Eat! Eat! Hungry! Eat, downstairs, now!"
So now we're both tired and grumpy and I'm semi-ignoring him.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
