Re: FFFC/Vents/AW
We have tickets to go see the batman movie tomorrow morning. I'm a little apprehensive about it now. I know the shooting was a random act by a mentally ill person, but I have always had a small fear feeling vulenerable in crowded places (especially ones with limited exits).
FFFC/Vent:
DH has a company truck so our other car (a sentra) goes unused a lot. We are looking to get rid of it. DH wants to use the sentra and the car I drive to trade in and upgrade to a bigger suv (a traverse). I'm on the fence about it. Yeah it would be great to have a bigger car (especially when we have to fit 2 car seats in it), but I'm thinking about just selling the sentra and then using that money for the home improvement plans that I want to do. We are going to talk to the dealership guy tomorrow and I'm really hoping he really lowballs us on how much the trade in would be so I can use the money for what I want.
Vent: H has been out of town a lot lately. I am really tired of doing the parenting thing by myself, and I really miss having someone to be stupid with in the evenings.
FFFC: While I hate him being gone, I love it on occasion...more hours and field work= nice paychecks.
AW: a designer is meeting me on Tuesday to lay out our living room and find us new furniture, accent tables, the works. I am so excited to finally know what the heck to do with this room. And get rid of the couch/loveseat/chair that I've had since college...it's seen much better days.
H is borderline pissed because I'm in the process of selling our tickets to the OSU-Texas game at the end of September. He's a Texas fan and thought he'd be able to use those seats with two of his other Texas fan friends. Yeah...nope. I had no plans to go since that game is right after my due date, but I guess he had other plans. Ah well.
I'm here today and then off until next Thursday. I feel bad for using part of my leave [have to save up all my leave since OSU doesn't offer short-term disability to help compensate maternity leave], but I need a break. I'm also not happy OSU doesn't offer STD, but nothing I can do about that.
I'm really frustrated with my sister. Monday, H was down near where my mom works for a case, so he stopped by and they had a nice visit. Because he's the son in-law, he can get away with saying a few things to our mother that we can't, specifically why she hasn't moved up here yet and why she isn't seeing a doctor on a regular basis for regular health check-ups. Mom is 69, and should be getting regular check ups, in our opinion.
I mentioned this to my sister and she got really weird and defensive, saying mom will never move up here, and that she shouldn't see a doctor on a regular basis because she's better off not knowing anything's wrong with her. I said that we didn't even know that anything IS wrong, it would just be for wellness, and my sister wouldn't hear it. It was really weird. I didn't quite know what to say to her.
Get pushups?
I told H that after we are done having kids I was going to get a boob job so mine would atleast be back up where they belong.
AW: I am soooooooo excited. One of my favorite restaurants is in Phoenix..Snowful and I will be visiting there in a few weeks. Found out the restaurant will be CLOSED while we are there for renos and I nearly lost it. So, I posted something on a travel board about how disappointed I am and did anyone have recommendations for a similar restaurant? Wednesday I got a PM from someone that GAVE ME THE PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER of the executive chef. I gave him a call and...he is going to make a private dinner just for Snowful and I!!! I am sooooo sooooo soooooo excited!!!!!
Vents: It has been a sh!tty, sh!tty, sh!tty week. I am not even sure what else to say about it. My mother has been attempting to start WWIII with me through email and really, someone just needs to shoot her and put her out of her misery.
