I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
id be a fool to ignore them .
i think theres a strong connection between a 3 . 5 yr investigation and government studies that recommend against separating an infant and his primary carer ( mother ) until about the age of 3.5 . i jump to a lot of conclusions but they are based on 3 years of extensive reading , not wistful idealism .
I am so happy to hear you say this. You know your own heart but it’s not worth taking a chance with others. Stay on the safe side. Best wishes to you. You know that I am pulling for you.
the stress of ' nothings going on ' has been replaced with the stress of ' sht's gonna get real , with no forewarning ' .
i have a ( goodwill ) black pair of jeans that ive never worn . i'll need something to wear to court trials that isnt stained with auto grease and such . its difficult trying to prepare for the unknown .
still beats the hell out of being blindsided i s'pose .
So for the last few days, I’ve been thinking “I’ll just wait until next week, maybe Wednesday I’ll start wrapping”. HAHAHAHAHAHA I just freaking occurred to me that Christmas is next Tuesday!! There is no waiting until next week! I need to start wrapping this week!! Really can’t believe myself right now! I’ve known Christmas was next week but when it came to wrapping presents, I kept thinking I’ve got a whole other week to get it done!
now that I've brushed my teeth and am in bed
can't fall back to sleep
This afternoon, I took my son, daughter and two of her friends to the mall for daughters 12th birthday. I took them to Round 1 which is like Dave & busters and then got them Starbucks and them walk around the mall for a bit. When we go there, i drove through the parking lot to the front of the mall. I drove past Macys and stopped to allow a few pedestrians to cross from Macy’s in to the parking lot. To my horror, the car behind me didn’t stop and passed me on the right (now driving the wrong way) and almost hit the pedestrians! I honked my horn in anger!!!! Couldn’t believe the a careless SOB did that! All because he was impatient I guess!
Then, when I was taking my daughters friends home, I dropped one off in her neighborhood and as we were leaving her neighborhood, i came to a 4 way stop. I stopped and made sure it was clear to go & just as I was starting to accelerate, a Jeep Wrangler flew past us, blowing the stop sign! Must have been going about 80MPH!
Something about the holidays brings out the worst drivers!
That happened to me on New Year’s Eve last year. Crazy person turned in the wrong lane and almost hit me head on, to make matters worse he was going at a fast speed. I had just purchased my new car. I was thinking about my life in danger and my new car being totaled! Thank God the lane next to me was open and I was able to get out of his way by just a few seconds or it would have been a horrible accident. It’s scary how people drive.
So much partying going on New Year’s Eve. I was sorry I had run out to buy milk from a convenience store. Sometimes that’s the only time I could get out to run errands, late in the evening. Also happens to be when the drunks are out!
He must have had a hard day at work and needs to control someone. I am not buying it so tell him I am not picking him up from work, and cooking at 10 p.m.
so he can tell me how much to cook.
I Go to the bedroom and close the door.
Later, I am adding yellow squash and zucchini bits, I make 1 1/2 bags. And he is still fussing....
He goes back for seconds, and it is all gone. I just hate being right sometimes.
Scared he will get more and more OCD as time marches on. This is new and exaggerated behaviors. I know that I am getting less patient.
I stick to gravel roads if at all possible, my route to the city is actually more direct that way and I usually have the road all to myself.
Bit of good news, I finished the Christmas wrapped last night with the exception of 1 gift that will be here Monday, and hubby’s gifts that I have to go pick up at Best Buy in a bit (hopefully the in store pick up line is short!) and I found the missing shirt from Kohl’s! It was in a paper target bag that had the clothing giftboxes, guess I didn’t look close enough the other night!
On an annoying note, as I’ve mentioned before we host Christmas Eve as it’s our daughters birthday and this year I bought some arcade games and a prize for each kid. I ordered my neices prize (an LOL surprise doll) from target because our store was out of stock and Walmart keeps the LOL surprise stuff and just about everything else in the store locked up! At the time I ordered, I was given a 12/21 delivery date and the tracking has given me the same date however I checked this morning and now it says 12/24! Hopefully it gets here early before the festivities begin.
fingers crossed, my daughter & I are going to head out to Best Buy in a bit, going to the one 10 miles away instead of the one at the mall. it’s in an outdoor shopping center that I am sure will be crazy so I’m nervous!! If I was driving a brand new car, i’d Be fine but every time I drive the new car I feel anxious and afraid that we will get in an accident!
anyway they aren’t coming because mom is sick. Has been sick for a week but didn’t go to the doctor which also makes me mad! I told her to take the steroids she has or go to the ER. It’s her breathing that’s bad and a bad cough (she has advanced COPD). She said she will take the steroids and maybe go the ER and give it one more day before deciding for sure that they aren’t coming. However if my dad isn’t going to come, I’m going to tell her to just stay home. It’s too far a drive (330 miles) for her to make it on her own. So bummed out :(
