I just had to put this somewhere. I’ve seen the extended ‘big and small’ thing (in fact, someone sent it to me, because I’ve been being a killjoy about the memes on fb. I believe there is also a male ‘prostate cancer’ one in which they describe how they like their horror movies. It is supposed to be parody.)

Anyway, I saw this today

Yep, I think Es wins The Golden Crab.

And thanks to all of for the giggles and sighs and perspective, and most of all for your acceptance–nay, embrace!–of the occasional need for a good old-fashioned whinge.

Hugz and drinks all around.

Wow, Es, that brings drunk dialing to a whole new low. Ruining your night *and* telling you that sex with him will compensate for ruining your night. They’re both lucky you didn’t run them over.

Perhaps an overshare, but for the second time in two months, I have a god damned yeast infection and a UTI at the same time. And you can guess what’s due to start any hour now, just to help thing out. I want to claw out my ladybits with a rusty spork.

@AmBam, Thank you for the over share. That actually made me feel way better. I will now be going to my new job think ing “at least I don’t have a painful, possibly pustulating wound on my ass.”
Puts things right back into perspective.

FYI, y’all…I just approved Es’s comment, which was languishing in the mod queue. Scroll back up for a looksee.

And I think she wins.

Ooh, I’ve been saying for years that I need a separate, no-family profile! It’s so unfair when you can’t bitch about your passive aggressive mother-in-law or your (85 year old!) racist grandma because they’re on Facebook too. Why is an octegenarian on Facebook?

Oh right. Because my mother told there were pictures of her great-grandchildren on there. Maybe I should create a separate account for Av0.

And I can’t even complain about it on Facebook becuase I am friends with my Dad on Facebook.

Related: since when are there so many old people on Facebook?

Further related: Why can’t I work out how to use the limited profile settings properly?

Oh a place to whinge! Let’s go…

My Dad and his wife are here visiting from Australia on the occasion of the birth of my second child. They are driving me CRAZY. I love my Dad, I do, but his new wife goads him into displaying the worst parts of his character. They are so not helpful at all. They do stupid shit like say to me at 6.15pm- just when I’m preparing to get a three year old and a 2 month old in bed BY MYSELF becuase my husband is working late- “um, can we have dinner now because we want to go to a concert at 7.30″. I told them to order Thai and then I disappeared upstairs with the kids only to emerge and hour and half later, post two baby baths, nappy changes, breastfeeding and bedtime books to discover that they either ate or didn’t order the dish I asked for.

I am at home with the kids full time at the moment, and I can definitely wrangle both during the day, it’s just really hard to do that all day when I’m trying to be conscious of not annoying people with the baby’s cries and not having my boobs out in front of my Dad every couple of hours.

ALSO. They booked this trip without consulting me and just one day out of the blue announced they were coming to stay for a week and that “oops, we seemed to have booked the return flight on the day of your birthday but don’t worry, we’ll have some sort of celebration before we go”. QUOTE VERBATIM. Way to make me feel like a loser, Dad. Am I that sad a person that I am reduced to accepting wrong day, compensatory celebrations on my THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY from my Dad of all people? Also, don’t worry Dad, I totally can drive you to the airport ON MY THIRTIETH BIRTHDAY because I have nothing else to do.

@Avogardo, I feel you.
