Obviously, not my favorite person...  And now, I am so pissed I can't stand it...  At the end of the summer, Princess had requested some books from the library...  They showed up after school had started, so I was no longer bringing her to the library on a weekly basis...  But, I said we could use my mom's house as a place to transfer the books between us...  The problem I am facing now, though, is that my mom lost one of the damn library books -- and denies that I ever even left it there...  I am going to get ready soon so I can head over there and tear the place apart looking for it...  Love that we will probably be fighting with exactly one week to go until Thanksgiving...  Ugh...  Not like it's anything too new, but I still hate dealing with this crap...  Later days...

I'm thankful that the hospitals are trying to work in the best interests of all the newborn babies out there, but I pray that they lift these crazy limitations before I go into labor or I may just have to "accidentally" give birth at home so Boogie can see his baby brother or sister come into the world... http://www.setonhealth.org/news_events/news_detail.cfm?ID=14 ...  At the very least, I'm glad Flower told me about this so it would not be a surprise when I got close to delivering...  Ugh...  Later days...

I am sooooo done messing around with Flickr today...  I uploaded a shit-ton of old pictures...  They are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/jewjewbee/sets/ if you want to check them out...  You have to scroll down to the bottom of the sets to see most of what I uploaded today, though, since I am trying to keep things in chronological order...  Or, I suppose you could just check out the photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/jewjewbee/...  Whatever works!  Later days...

Boogie often says funny things, and I do my best to repeat them so I can (1) remember for my own amusement and (2) give other people a reason to laugh... So, without further ado, here are three of the best recent funnies:

Me: You have to eat all of your dinner or you won't get any Halloween candy.  You know that!
Boogie: Yeah, I know.  I'm not having candy tonight.  But, I at least I know I can get candy on Thursdays!
Me: Why's that?  (wondering if he thinks he'll get away with stuff when I am at work)
Boogie: Because I pound my mac 'n cheese!

[after hearing Clark make fun of me for the billionth time for having lost my wallet in both NYC and Las Vegas] "But, you're supposed to lost things there...  It's called Lost Vegas!" 

Boogie: [talking to my belly] "Goodnight baby!  I love you!  I hope you're a boy or a girl... And I hope you come out."
Me: Well, You're in luck!  The baby will either be a boy or a girl AND the baby will come out some day!
Boogie: Good!

Yeah...  I think my heart will probably explode the first time I see Boogie and the baby together...  Don't know how I will be able to handle any more cuteness than I already do...  Later days...

Is taunting me...  I'm tired, but not sleepy...  And I will be doing a lock-in tonight...  The official "lights out" will be at 4am... Gawd help me!  Later days...

Why?  Because my mom is a complete ass-hat...  She just called me to let me know that my niece is completely sick, most likely with the flu...  Apparently, she is probably sick because she spent the afternoon taking care of the toddlers my mom babysits as my mom puked her brains out on Friday...  And yet, my mom didn't say a word about it being a bad idea to have Princess over all day Saturday when she knew I was bringing her to my house to hang out with Boogie...  My mom didn't even think it would be a bad idea to go to a wedding on Sunday -- while getting a ride from us...  As I sat there trying to process this all, on my way home from a trip to the grocery store where I felt sick to my stomach more strongly and earlier than when my phenergan usually wears off, she didn't even show any sympathy or empathy for my predicament...  I said something along the lines of being really scared to get the flu because doctors say that you should not take anti-emetics when you have the flu, and I could end up hospitalized if I go off the drugs even when I don't have the flu...  Instead of saying something comforting, or even keeping her stupid mouth shut, she went on to say that it would "really suck" if I got this flu because it's "just violent"...  WTF?!?  If she had ever been anything of a good mother, I might be able to excuse this as a slip-up...  But a part of me thinks that she may be somehow enjoying this and trying to freak me out...  Like all of her talk about how "lucky" I am to have the phenergan -- where she goes on and on about how terrible it was to feel sick for her whole pregnancy and acts like I can't possibly appreciate that sacrifice because my hyperemesis diagnosis and subsequent medication...  Sure, she may have felt sick all the time, and she probably did vomit a couple of times a day like she claims...  As much as that sucks though, I almost ended up in the hospital during the beginning of my first pregnancy...  I lost TWELVE pounds in one week -- after getting to the point that I could not keep anything down for more than 5 minutes over the course of about 48 hours -- before they got me medicated...  How the hell does that add up to me being spoiled by having a phenergan prescription?!?  Gah!  I can't imagine being so cold to my own daughter...  And I guess that is part of the reason I am afraid to have a daughter...  I am afraid that my lack of a good "mom to a daughter" role-model will make me feel even more unprepared for having a little girl...  In the end, I will do to best I can, and I am sure that will be a million times better than my relationship with my own mother...  But still...  I just wish I could scream, or hit her, or pretend she didn't exist...  But a part of me wants to try and salvage this relationship because she is the only mother I have...  FML...  Later days...

Please, please, please let our electricity problem get fixed today...  The electrician should be here any minute, but I'm starting to worry that he won't be able to do everything today...  Gah...  If you pray, please add this to your list for the day...  Thanks...  Later days...

This word used to bring a funny story to mind...  Back in college when OneUnbrokenBrow took over his girlfriend's CB radio on a car trip and started messing with truckers...  Hilarious...  This weekend, though, "breaker" means nothing but worry and frustration...  You see, a good section of our electrical box is dying...  Why?  Rain... Rain water is literally following the wires into the house and rusting out some of the breakers in the breaker box (then dripping out the bottom -- which is how Clark found the problem)...  When NYSEG did us the "courtesy" of re-attaching the electrical wires to the house after the ice storm last winter, they never notified us that the job wasn't actually finished...  You see, it is technically OUR responsibility to do anything between the pole and the house...  Well, I know that, but I try not to look a gift horse in the mouth...  Had we known that the job was unfinished, though, we would have gotten someone out immediately so that they could attach the "weather head" (I think that is what the guy said it's called) to keep the rain and snow from getting inside via the electrical wires...  I am so angry...  Now, we have no electricity in the 2nd floor of our house and have to wait until the electrician can come back tomorrow (our neighbors know a guy and he was kind enough to come check it out in the freezing/pouring rain to let us at least know what had to be done and whether it was safe to turn the main breaker back on)...  We have no idea how much this is going to cost, and I am really nervous that even the parts are going to be crazy expensive, let alone the labor...  This guy deserves every penny for his work -- don't get me wrong...  But I wish that NYSEG could be held accountable for their part in this...  Sure, they did a nice thing by getting the wires out of our yard -- but at what future cost?!?  Is it too much to ask that they let people know when they will need to do more to make their house safe?!?!?!?!?!?!?  Later days...

Is certainly not my favorite day of the week...  And today was no exception...  So happy it's over...  Ugh...  Later days...

To present, and possibly to spew...  LOL...  Fingers crossed that I don't look like an idiot for my presentation in about 30 minutes...  Later days...
