    Their inability to do these things (because mine does the same thing - goes MIA via phone and doesn't think even a millisecond into the future when it counts) is enough to give me a rage stroke.

        • Hugs, LSW!

          It's 12:40am. I'm wide awake. My alarm will go off at 6am and I plan to drive at least 14 hours to get us home in one day. Irony — I was so tired and worn out around 8 that I almost went to bed early.

            I get home late with 5 min til class starts because work kept me late and find her sleeping and not remotely ready. Because DH came home early and sent my brother home. And god forbid he answer his phone or use critical thinking to determine that maybe she needed to be up and ready.

            On the way home I was ranting to my mom about how I'm tired of orchestrating these ridiculous plans at work and at home. It's even better when DH undoes it in in one fell swoop.

            Last weekend, we flew for a wedding and I packed the kids for a TEN DAY trip and hotel stay and of course packed and prepared myself to be in the home office while he flew back to go to work this week.

            On the bus to get our rental car, he tells me he forgot a dress shirt. WTH is wrong with you. All you had to do was competently pack for ONE night with ONE activity. It's insane.

              • We've been switching our kitties from the crap food they were fed at the shelter to a better quality brand. Fuzzy Butt (a.k.a. Fiona, our medium-hair) has had some tummy troubles with the transition. We've slowed waaay down in switching over, but she still has really soft poo that sticks to her fuzzy rear end really bad. I have her cooped up in the guest bathroom until it resolves because I don't want her rubbing poop all over the house. She's been meowing mournfully all morning, and I feel like a terrible person.

                  Nope. I'm hoping it's mostly residency...he's incredibly conscientious when he's well rested and he's great with the kids, his attention to detail is just HORRIBLE right now though. But perhaps it's because I usually handle the details and that "muscle" is weak.

                      I don't truly wish for this, but sometimes I almost wish I was temporarily incapacitated just so he would understand the full extend of what I do. Even staying home with the kids only gave him a wee little taste.

                      • I've been to 12 of my friends' weddings by myself since the dude and I have dated. For the first time in nearly four years, we were actually going to get to go to one together, and the idiot forgot to ask the day after the wedding off. And of course the wedding is out of town. Argh. This is why nobody thinks he exists.

                        And no, he can't switch due to the acgme's asinine "must have four days off in 28" policy.

                        • I am done with my mother. I hate all of this drama.

                          She texted me last night wanting to set up a time this weekend where she and stepdad could talk to me and DH on the phone. I told her this afternoon was best. She said 330pm. I am obviously wondering what the hell this is all about. I made sure I got home in time and DH got up early from sleeping off his 8p-8a shift. She texted me 10 min before to say they were running late for some bday party and could we talk tomorrow. I texted her back, asking what this is all about, that DH got up early and pregnant people don't like drama. No reply. F her and her drama, I'm done.

                            • This morning I got a call from the post office, informing me that my package had definitely been delivered last Thursday, and therefore had probably been stolen before I checked the mail Thursday afternoon.

                              The second I hung up, it rang again. DH telling me the guy he was riding with had been in an accident and could I come get his bike while he took the ambulance to the hospital with his buddy?

                              I don't usually get phone calls, and I really just don't want to pick up any more today.

                              • SIL and her family are moving next weekend and driving through to see us. I have no idea when they're getting here, but probably sometime on Sunday. I was invited to a baby shower that I'd really like to go to, but I'd rather see the ILs. I wish they would plan something so I'd know if I could do both. We haven't seen them in years, and they've never met E, and I have no idea when we'll be able to see them again. I don't understand driving across the country (literally, moving from Virginia to Washington) and not making plans at all.
