Start making a list of what DD15 is going to need for NYC next week so I can make sure that we pick everything up this weekend
Pay the bills / mortgage (yeah, that's gonna SUCK!)
Ask my mom if I can borrow at least $3,000 hopefully $4,000 to cover books / tuition for next year. That'll be fun!
Pull out something for dinner.......
What am I doing?? Sitting here, trying to convince myself that I don't really really need to pee!!
And, I want to ask you guys - do YOU feel better when you are making the list of what you have already done???
-
I have gotten coffee, fed the tiny terror and.... that's it. :D
"What looks like torture is a time to rejoice
What sounds like thunder is a comforting voice
When what is beautiful looks broken and crushed
And I say I don't know you
But you say it's finished" -
@handtowellady - go tell them that your toilet is broken, ask if you can use the restroom....you know the rest! Or, slip some Xanax in the fucking kid's juice!

What i want to do... absolutely nothingIm pretty extraordinary in an ordinary way -
Yeah, east coat here too...haven't even warmed up my coffee and I'm now watching my kids chase each other around the couch....guess its time to do something....
-
@AnonMom yes it is isn't it?? I haven't even met/seen the Mom yet but I have heard her screaming and yelling plenty. I have quiet non-tantrum throwing children so why should I have to listen to this demon child every morning? Not to mention that they had a friggin yard sale right outside my bedroom window on a Sat. and 7am, loud as fuck.
These people aren't getting any baked goods from me as a welcome to the neighborhood gift. When I meet the mom she will be greeted by me with a smile, stinkpalm and a roll of duct tape. :)

@livinthedream I rather just list what I've done and feel accomplished versus seeing what needs done and feel anxious!
-
No. I do not feel better making a list of things I've done....well, maybe I do. Maybe it's the list of To Do's that I hate.
I've also sat in front of the computer trying to convince myself I really didn't need to use the bathroom!
-
I totally agree with that @MellowYellow!!

From the Confessional
-
Truth is, I effing hate being married and if not for the children I'd probably run away.
-
My boyfriend just fucked me for the first time in 24 days and he only lasted 30 seconds. I got nothing out of it.
-
I feel like a horrible wife for wanting a hall pass...
-
I understand my wife's chronic illness is not her fault, so why do I still resent it and think about leaving her whenever it flairs up? Funny part is everyone thinks I'm "so strong". HA!
