Speeding by
I mentioned that we moved. Well, we moved about three miles down the road from where the ex and I used to own a house. Though I don’t go over that way much it is decidedly odd when I do. Memories attach themselves to everything, songs, places, smells – and it is really odd to have the flood of memories (good and bad) attack as I speed on by.

The Spelling Test
I got the following text from a good friend of mine who's a 2nd grade teacher.
Does (your company) have any janitorial positions available? Lol or maybe your personal assistant? I just found a note on my floor that says "your a bich Mattie"
FML I must suck as a teacher if they can't even spell one of our spelling words correctly... it's b.i.t.c.h. The T gets them every time.
I could never be a teacher. I don't have the patience.

Movin' on up
Moving at home - bought a house, had a bunch of repairmen in to fix/update/clean stuff, moved in, unpacked (mostly) and vacated and cleaned the old apartment (which we will probably lose our deposit on even though we took good care of the place because they suck balls).
Meanwhile...
Moving at work - being uprooted into a temporary cubeland so our area can be revamped and then moving back 4-6 weeks later and I've been chosen to lead this shenanigan by the higher ups.
I usually am ok with moving, I like change (usually - but this is a little much. Everything is in disarray all of the time. It's exhausting and incredibly time consuming.
I'll be happy when it is over and I can get back to my regularly scheduled life.

Pressure
Would you like to know what is a whole lot of pressure?
Naming a child.
They have to carry that with them forever. Holy crap. It could be a source of ridicule or individuality or jokes or humor or whatever.
Plus, both of us have to agree on what sounds good. When you have a stubborn husband, that may be complicated.
Probably my biggest baby-related concern at the moment (I think that's a good thing, but I'd really like to have it settled).
Since we aren't finding out boy or girl we have to have them ready for both. Sheesh.
