Say it here thread- Happy Day or Mad. Whatever you want!

I slept in. Its quiet here which us rare. Got to see a friend last night that is from out of town. We had some great laughs.
I've left my work stress at work.
Going to a nice dinner tonite.
I have four days off.
The sun is shinning.

I'm hap;y that I'm going to see "Fish in the Dark" (Larry David's new play) on Broadway tonight!
But I'm sad because I have a lingering cold and will be paranoid about having a coughing fit in the middle of the show.

I have had a pretty good day- but can I please just get something off my chest?

Good Friday...lots of people are off work. Tons of people are grocery shopping for the holidays. Stores are busy and crowded.
This is probably not the best day, mom-who-is-old-enough-to-know-better, to let your two little kids walk down the aisles side by side with those $%@#$%@# mini shopping carts.
And as if that isn't bad enough- she had the nerve to give people the stink eye when they tried to turn down the aisle. When we turned into an aisle they were hogging, she scowled at us and sighed "Come on kids. I guess we have to move."
Where the heck do you think you are, lady? Take them to the park if you want to goof off.

Today was a happy day. I met with clients today that were wonderful. The entire day was easy. This evening my son texted me to invite me to a cookout tomorrow. I love spending time with he and his family. I love seeing how happy they are. 

I'm mostly sad. My dear friends husband passed away last night after a brief illness. Her DD was spending the night with my girls. We had to pretend for 2 hours that nothing was wrong, and try to keep them all off FB, until her grandparents could get here. They told her in our living room, and it was the most heartbreaking thing I have ever witnessed. I love this girl like one of my own.

Side note - why are people so thoughtless on FB? As soon as word spread, people ran to FB and started posting messages to my friend, without knowing if her kids knew yet or not. So lets all spread the word - when tragedy strikes, DO NOT post ANYTHING on FB until the family does! If this girl or her sister or my kids had seen those messages before the grandparents could get here...OMG. I would be in a straight jacket, or jail, right now.

Lol! Aww thanks!

I'm basically beside myself with joy, because dh got a job! He retires from the military this summer, and has applied and applied, but with sequestration and budgets, no one is hiring. He had one interview out of dozens of applications. BUT, he got called April Fools Day by HR of the agency he works at (as a military member now) and they said they had a job offer...he was pretty confused, as he had no word or interviews with this agency for any openings he applied for. He went in, not a prank, lol, some people he knows saw his application and hired him, no interview needed.

And it's in Seoul!! So we don't have to stay in suck ass DC any more, thank God.

We are thrilled, except dhs family somehow thought he would be back in Missouri after he retired (though we told them no jobs there, so...) so they are going to wail and gnash teeth so dh hasn't told them yet. So I can't say anything on Facebook until he does.

I am already planning ky culinary welcome back tour through through all my favorite restaurants!!

I am manically happy. It's Friday night, my patio is newly cleaned and there are candles in all the lanterns. I am starting to drink copious amounts of my favorite wine out here and plying my husband with the same and taking advantage of him.

It's been almost 15 years, but we lived in Seoul from 01-03. It was very different!

I remember when Good Friday use to shut down stores and other businesses. I kind of miss those days. Not just for Good Friday but other important day.

Oldest DD and her family (DH and 2 sons) decided to rent out their 2 bedroom home and move in with her DHs family. They will have a full basement to live in and they are planning on at least 1 1/2 - 2 years to save $$ to buy another home. They have outgrown their current home but haven't been able to sell it.

Last night I was watching the boys and she came over to pick them up. I had a trying evening with the 9 year old (other one is 14 months) and he just wanted to argue about everything. (So much like his Mom when she was little!). Anyway, DD told me the renters will move in on May 1, and that her MIL just told them that her (the MIL) sister needed to move in with them for at least 6-8 weeks due to some medical issues. This turned into an 8 month stay last time around. So, DD said they will probably have to move in with us for a while. I 'said' we will make it work but my mind was screaming 'NO'! And I won't say that out loud because they don't have an option and our home is more than large enough to accommodate everyone.

I'm not ready to give up my privacy, worry about what's for dinner every night for 6 instead of just 2. I love them all I'm just not ready to have them all here All The Time! DH and I both work full time and love to just come home and relax and do things on our schedule, not someone else's!

I am being very selfish but after raising 3 daughters I think I'm allowed to be!! I need to suck it up - there isn't another option right now - I just needed to get if off my chest here so I can enjoy our meal together today. We are celebrating Easter dinner here today so the girls can be with their other side of the family tomorrow. We are always flexible, change our times, days etc. to accommodate as it isn't the day, it is the time spent with family.

Ok - I need to put it behind me now and move on! More to come in future vent threads I'm sure!

Happy day...well weekend.
Oldest daughter is visiting, having family game night, taking the youngest to the movies, coloring Easter eggs, baking a bunny cake, finishing my craft desk & getting ready for the last couple of months of the school year.

kelleem....I'm so happy for you & your DH!

(Mine is so FWP, but I HAVE to say it!!!)
MAD that I seem to be the ONLY person (amongst my LOCAL friends ) that likes/ loves winter!!!! The other day the sun was blaring, it was 85, bees all over, too hor for our doggies to be outside---Car hot and miserable....groceries needed to be put in cooler, etc. etc.

Next day 59 degrees, sunny, and windy-----PERFECT!!! Even the weatherman said "it doesn't feel as nice outside like it did yesterday",,,,WHAT? 59 degrees and sunny is GORGEOUS (imho)....do people love to be HOT? I guess so----wish I did!!!
