Aw, those of you in the cold and hating it can come here for a weekend. Weather is cool and cloudy for today and tomorrow, but it will get nicer on Saturday. My FFW is that we owe a chunk o' money in taxes. We'll bump up our withholding for next year, but now Nancy, I dreamt that you and Loop were here and visiting me. Except it wasn't my house. And I'm not sure if I had kids or not. LOL. It was a fun dream. I'd like to meet you and Loop. You because you have a sense of humor. Loop because she has to have sense of humor, living with Dark and all.

I think I'm going to head on down to the beach now and comfort myself by meeting some nice, vulnerable tourist lady... Maybe Swamp's mom is feeling lonely?

Sadly, many of the tourists down here do pretty much that.
It's 64 outside right now and I guarantee if I hopped over to the beach, there would be dozens of fish white people cavorting about wearing nothing but scandalously small patches of lycra, socks and Birkenstock sandals. They'd even be swimming.
Say hi to my parents. O M G Swamp -I literally (and yes, I know what that word means) laughed out loud.

I feel the same about chicago. I LOVE playing tourist and can keep myself busy for days on end and were willing to spend the money. But no matter how many things I did... I still wouldn't be warm while outside! That is all I want right now!!!! And thanks Sent from my Nexus 4 using proboards Soooo , get tickets for the WNBA and go watch Elena Delle Donne play! And, quit whining because I wish I was close enough to go to their games! I hate basketball. the sound their shoes make on the court is like nails down a chalkboard!

I can't help it. Once I discovered that picture, it just seems so horribly applicable in so many situations. I promise I'll get it out of my system and stop foisting it upon you all soon.

Well, ok. Waive the white flag, everyone stay in and be miserable then. Thanks. I will. Here's mine. My littlest has been sleeping like crap again. And, though she's communicating really well for her age (half the time it's 3 word sentences and she's not quite two yet), I have no idea how to fix what's wrong. I thought we were over the hump, since I had two days where I slept 4-5 hours in.a.row. Nahh, I'm now down to getting 3 hours of sleep in 1.5 hour chunks again because she will only let me comfort her. And, it would be nice, for once, if she would leave herself clothes appropriately for when it's below zero out. I may have to turn down a job on Saturday due to lack of sleep. This is going to make someone else's life harder and potentially put me on the org's "sh*t list" I have spent the past month counting/gluing/baggie-ing 12,000+ cambells soup labels and box tops for education. Likely we are going to have to give up on our dream of taking the kids to Europe. I don't know if my son is going to a birthday party on Friday (tomorrow) or not. I have to start planning for Spring. Between Easter and Memorial Day, we have 5 family birthdays. We are also hosting easter and have parties to plan. I have about half of the kids' easter basket stuff, so that helps. DS has a big project due Monday. That will be my Sunday, going over the final copy of that with DS. One of the cub scout requirements for an activity pin is to build a rocket. That, in theory sounds easy. I'm having go all over town to find rockets for us to build. I also have to start working on the icky paperwork stuff: making permission slips and the like for the boys for our activities. www.estesrockets.com/

Yeah, but Milee's pic is a gross slobby guy (sorry Milee). Look closer. You must have somehow missed my awesome display of manly stuff! Not only do I have guitars and guns, but I have my own blue pool noodle. You're gonna be sorry you dissed me when you find yourself at the beach without a pool noodle, missy!

My first world whine:
We are redoing our basement, which is good. It was finished by the second owners of our house, who truly ruined everything in this house that they touched (example a big trex deck with no footings!!). Anyway the project is a good thing, but I have been without a basement for a month, which means my work out stuff is taken apart and everything else that is usually in my basement is scattered where ever there is space on the first floor. It is driving me nuts to walk past boxes of christmas stuff everytime I walk into the house.
Oh and the weather sucks.

My first world whine..
Friggin Amazon makes more than I do on the products I sell on Amazon. They get 15% of the total sale price, including shipping, plus $1 per item or $40 a month. It's mind blowing to me that they barely make any money. 15% + per item fees on every single product sold has to amount to an annual number with more zeroes on it than most Americans can count while wearing shoes.

My stupid lab is scared of everything. Any strange noise wakes her up at night and she refuses to stay in her kennel. When we let her in she spends an hour licking herself and pacing the room before she lies down. Poor baby! I haven't read the whole thread yet, so I don't know if you've added anything to this or not, but is she ok? Is she having some anxiety? Sounds like she's trying to tell you something is wrong...

She's fine. The last three times it was windy out and she doesn't like the noise. This time around we figured out DH's exercise bike was making weird noises. He removed the batteries from the board so that should take care of it. She's always had anxiety. I just don't appreciate it at 4 am.

Another first world complaint:
My pregnant SIL who has pleaded poverty and what not about not having money to buy baby things is now getting a big big surprise baby shower.
She has pleaded poverty, even saying that she would cloth diaper, because she was so poor. Even though she scoffed at me when I used them. Oh, and by the way, can she have mine?
Our entire basement is filled with stuff that we've been keeping just for her. And now she's getting everything new. When most everything I had, I bought used or got as hand me downs.
My in-laws didn't throw me a shower. And they always keep telling me that they love me and that I'm their daughter too now. Bullshit. Their real daughter gets the baby shower, but the daughter-in-law doesn't.
And you know that the grandparents are going to be the constant free babysitter for their real daughter, while we (because of distance too, to be fair) never got the free childcare that every one else seems to get. Imagine that, people being completely responsible for caring for their children!! They currently live 10 hours away from the grandparents, but as soon as they found out that they are pregnant, they decided to move back. Wonder why?
Not to mentioned, how fucking gauche it is to have your mother throw your own baby shower. Can we say gift grab?
And how the fuck do you get accidentally pregnant? Both of them are in the arts, and they have no money. I guess whatever it is I do, my money, directly or indirectly, will be helping them out.
Yes, I'm bitter, and yes, I'm angry.

Yes, I'm bitter, and yes, I'm angry. Um, but at least you still have your diapers, right? Go give those pristine, snuggly diapers a loving caress and be grateful the inlaws are gifting SIL with all new stuff so you won't be guilted into giving away your diapers to that ungrateful skank.

Not to mentioned, how fucking gauche it is to have your mother throw your own baby shower. Can we say gift grab? I read a fb post about someone throwing their own baby shower and my head almost exploded. related whine- I didn't have a bridal shower. It seems so petty, but it made me a little sad. There are a lot of good reasons for not having one, but I hear about others having them and it sounds so nice. I've never been to one though, so maybe they're terrible? I have gone to one baby shower (coed) and it was awful, so I console myself with that
