Pointless Announcements

Yup thats what I meant. I was reading your post while typing and got confused. As usual.

i am disappoint because doc didn't even lift up my shirt. also, he said i can probably lose 10 lbs, hence called me fat.

if we had wine and cheese in the exam room, it would officially qualify as a date.

I fully support Amber and Tuffy taking that trip and giving Bloke the what for. I'm sorry things are so tough right now, Sarah. You shouldn't have to be going through this at all, and I hope he really thinks about things and makes some real changes real soon.

Haha, Amber!

I love you!

Thanks Alecia, Tuffy, Hattie, Noah, Imke and Irina for your kind words.
*DEATHHUGS*

Good luck, Sarah. None of that sounds okay. Hope he destressifies you soon.

He was probably just negging you so you think you're unhealthy and come running back in six months just because he's made you think you're mortal.

Pfff... doctors.

Something in my living room smells like pee, human pee, not pet, fresh not all old and ammonia-ish, and I cannot figure out Where or Why.

Teehee!

*runs away*

Really, my kids are adorable though (despite the suspicious pee smell I cannot pinpoint) and yes, I would very much like to dress them up in costumes all the time.

Unfortunately, this is the only time of year they go for it anymore, and they pick there own freaky things and only let me help a little, no matter how wild my imagination is willing to go with the scary freaky, they tend to tone it down and roll their eyes at me.

Get back here, I'ma rub your nose in this.

I should've booked my trip to NZ instead so I can cockpunch Bloke, make him realize what an idiot he is and how important it is to make you feel like a Queen of fucking Everything right now, and to pitch in as much as possible with Lucy because well it's his daughter too.

Sorry for the harshness. It's just that recently my mom was having problems with her husband, whom I've always had my issues with. I over heard one of their arguments the other weekend and the bullshit that came out of that man's mouth was unbelievable. I wanted so badly to interfere and kick his ass out of the house that my mother works so hard to pay for, that he sits in all day watching tv or leaves my mom once she gets here so he can go play poker(during the week), but yet somehow my mom has him on "Lockdown". I never wanted to laugh so hard in someone's face, cock punch them, throw them out in the street, and ask him how nice it feels to not be locked down anymore.

Beautiful, sweet, adorable, intelligent, hard-working women(or men) deserve better than a selfish man(woman). I'm no expert when it comes to relationships and I understand how much it sucks to be alone and not feel loved but sometimes not being treated the way you deserve, and then being blamed for their bullshit as well, is something I cannot stand around for. Regardless if you choose to stay with someone like that or not I just hope that you keep in mind,(this goes for all the good men out there too), what you are really worth and at the very least treat yourself to things that you deserve.

Fuck, I had to let that out.

I don't even remember my pointless announcement anymore.

He really sounds like he's being a total dick. Inexcusable.

That was a great post, Jaz.

Amii, he's oblivious, he really is.

I told one of my coffee group Mums about him wanting to take Lucy out at night to buy a microwave, she thought it was the funniest silliest thing ever.

It's a long weekend here, on tuesday I officially start settling Lucy into my childcare centre.

Did I tell you guys she loves Meowie! She gives him big gummy hugs and he tolerates it really well.

Aw, Meowie looks like such a meanie, but he can't help but love baby Lucy.

When I hear our British professor speak Romanian, I can't help but think how funny British people actually think we are. He speaks it very well, but of course the pronunciation is a bit funny at times.

I've emptied all my music onto a flash drive. The parents are dumping the old computer. It's kind of sad how much was lost when my school comp crashed. Every important file left can fit in 32 GB.

I wish the damn dog would have some decency and go lick his butthole someplace where I can't hear/see it. Disgusting beast of a thing.

I meant to post this yesterday, but:

In my whole life, I've probably seen 3 people run red lights. In one day (yesterday) I saw a total of 6 different people that seriously just didn't give a shit (they didn't even speed up, it had been a red light for awhile, and these were on mildly busy streets). SIX! One of them nearly caused an accident. I'm inclined to believe that there's a conspiracy to all this.

People here loooove running red lights. Cyclists do it consistently even. It infuriates me, and makes me want to kick them off their damn bikes. RAWR!

We are switching our cable from comcast to Direct TV and the men have been here since eight am switching everything.

I feel so awkward with people I don't know in the house doing stuff. I don't know what to do with myself. I want to take a shower but I can't until they leave, of course.

Trevor has no school today so he is keeping me company, which I am especially glad of as it makes me feel less awkward with someone else here to talk with and stuff while the work guys do thier thing.

Big Tex (Texas State Fair mascot) was brutally assaulted today.

It may not be such a bad thing for him. He might come back handsomer. I mean, he used to look like this.

My Facebook feed went crazy over that. I was wondering who Big Tex was. They should do the Sam Houston statue next.

I think they'd need a wrecking ball to faze that one. He's way too much of a pimp.

Not a single mention of it on my Facebook. Then again, El Pasoans and Austinites are less inclined to associate themselves with the rest of Texas.

Man, those Direct TV guys took almost four hours.

They are gone now, so I am back to just being awkward around my own thoughts.

Ugh. Up every hour from 2 am... and then up for the day at just before 6.

Tonight I am going to see my friends band play.Sharks From Mars. Good band, good kids. I saw my head doctor today and he told me, "Noah, embrace your inner asshole." It was funny as hell.
And Now I am at work and bored out. Trying to write and Draw. Xia is getting tattoo work this weekend and I plan on trying to redo my box garden.
I am babbling here because I am very bored and I have an asshole on an asshole hold.

Big Tex.

First reaction: lololol

Second reaction: "The terrists have won."

"At first I couldn’t believe it, I mean, we were wondering why he was smoking because we all know Big Tex does not smoke," said Jenneth Hickman, who runs a stand near Big Tex Circle. "So we were wondering why he was smoking for."

I am so very amused by this.

I doubt I'll be able to talk about anything else for at least a day. I apologize in advance.

Sarah, you might want to start thinking about just dipping out with the kid. Fuck that guy. Sounds like a terminal shove off to me.
Like, just being a total waster asshole on purpose until you bail so he don't have to like, make it hard.

Lets all watch Raiders of the lost Arc this weekend?

Ok. I'll watch it this weekend. For the first time.

That's a bit strong, i'n't it?

People have a LOT of trouble adjusting to anything. The woman had been adjusting for a long time before the baby came (9 months of crazy stuff). Now that it's here, the guy's gotta change a lot about his life right away. He sees that his friends' wives do so much of the work that he'd feel cheated if he caved into helping more than he thinks he should according to them. He'd feel that she isn't putting the effort she needs to if he helps out more than them. It's the natural reaction of laziness. It's something one needs to push through, as soon as possible. His friends are obviously not helping. I would think that speaking with another father, a good father, would give him the support he needs to understand and solidify the idea in his mind that she actually does need help, and it's highly unfair to not provide that help as the father. He needs that example of a good father to show him that he's not getting gypped when he decides to help.

Who's gonna be that example? I don't know. It'd be a lot better if Sarah didn't know this person particularly well so that Bloke's mind won't think he's just a friend of hers trying to get as much for her without considering him.

It's a tough situation. I hope it works out. I'm sure it will.

I still vote for Sarah telling his work buddies off, preferably in front of him.

I sincerely believe that's not a good idea.

Then again, they could just be bunch of kittens.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree. Doing something like that could have some serious backlash.

PA: I found my Cheers bar t-shirt! And my black with red plaid shorts.

What kind of blacklash?

Bloke proves to be even more of an asshole by getting pissed at her for it?

I'm not suggesting she go to his place of work guns a blazing, but if some jerk is making her life miserable she might as well tell him what she thinks of it if he calls or comes over to hang out with Bloke.

Obviously Sarah is going to use her own judgment and I honestly don't see that even being something her personality would go for doing anyway. Sometimes it is nice to have a girlfriend suggest absurd things to fantasize about doing just to help let off the steam.

I'll never understand that.

More Practical Solution:

A close friend of mine had twins three years ago, they were a surprise and were born only eleven months after their older sister. She also has a daughter Lily's age.

Her husband was pulling some of the same crap Bloke is pulling, not as bad, he did help, but he seemed unable to understand just how much more she needed him to help. At that point she had three infants not sleeping through the night and waking each other up, sometimes she would be up literally all night with someone crying.

He acted as though none of it was work for her on the same level as his job and that his rest was more important as he had to go to a job the next day, as though her job of taking care of all these babies needs everyday were not work at all and required no sleep.

One evening in the middle of yet another argument about it as the day was ending she finally lost it, told him to deal with it all, stormed out and spent the night at a hotel.

Let him see just what he was expecting her to do alone, and all alone himself.

Oh man, that is soooooo true!

You're right, I'm not the kind of person to do that though.

And I get what you're on about Isaac, it's a whole new life to him too.

I'm going to see how things go when I'm back at work. He's got until the end of the year to smarten up, then I'm going to have a very serious think about what to do.

I just had a great morning with an old school friend and my Mum.

I'm glad you have the start of a plan, as far as giving him time and also considering that time will not help.

And YAY for good mornings with good friends.

My hand hurts.

I've ran out of wine far too soon before I wouldn't care about being out.

The other night we were playing board games at my friends' house and this conversation happened:
Boyfriend: I wanted to write a story about a man who makes a board game and he makes this amazing game but in the end it turns out it's too expensive to mass produce.
Everyone: (Silence)
Me: It's no Jumanji.

I'm so proud of that. So I had to share.

She's taken to setting traps for the Tooth Fairy. It was all I could do to make The Switch and she still woke up and nearly caught me. I applaud her drive and cleverness, but Lord, let me get through one more Christmas before the whole house of cards comes crashing down and I have to deal with the tears and the accusations and the resentment and the inevitable loss of childhood innocence.

Congratulations on making it this far. I knew about Santa when I was 5 and every year my parents warned me not to tell everyone else in kindergarten or school. She's going to be 10 soon?

In a week.

We've been clinging to this with Bad Parent Fear.

Clever Girl.

I still refuse to admit to Gabriel even that Santa, let alone the others, is not real. Of course they all know the truth, but, you know. They all laugh at me about it.

We have tooth fairy problems in our house, sometimes she has been a day or two late. It turns into a prolonged wait, suspense... Did she come tonight? How about tonight? I felt, and feel bad about it every time I forget, so I've had to convince them that on those times it must just be that so many kids lost their teeth that night or that they really should have gone to sleep sooner. It helps that the kids themselves have often forgot to put their tooth under their pillow themselves at times.

In my defense, by the time the tooth fairy is done with our house she will have collected 80 teeth. 4 kids times 20 baby teeth a piece...
