My nephew was a premature baby, like real premature, born at 27 weeks, weighed a little over 2 pounds, in the hospital for the first 3.5 months of his life. He is progressing along very nicely and is in normal range now a little over 1. Today there was a March of Dimes Walk which I raised about $4k and donated almost another $1k myself. I walked almost 5 miles, carried my son in my arms for almost 3 of those 5 bc he wouldn't sit in the stroller, and chafed (spelling?) my inner thighs pretty bad. Afterwards, I took my in-laws to lunch, bought my wife and kid a bunch of stuff at the mall, went to the supermarket and got about 2 weeks worth of food. We came home, I picked up Chipotle, and now my wife and son are fast asleep next to me. Instead of feeling pride, happiness, accomplishment, or any of that ####, I feel pain in my back (prob from carrying 35 pounds for 3 miles), restlessness, and anxiety. I'm prob gonna take the day off from work tomm just bc today was exhausting.

I expect nothing of this post, but just wanted to type this up for whatever reason. I should be happier right now, but for whatever reason I'm just not.

ya done good man. i'm not into self congratulations either, but you done good. next time you whack it to some "alternative" porn, or your wife's sister. just call it even in the karma scale. :mellow:

 
Great news on the work-front. My principal, who is pretty damn awesome, is moving up to the district office this summer.

We've all been worried about who they were going to pick as his replacement (out of the other admins in the district). Smart money was on this one blow-hard from one of the elementary schools. I was pretty sure it was going to be him.

Just got an email that they named one of our deans as the new principal. This guy is a buddy of mine and a solid, solid admin. Bullet dodged.

Perfect opportunity to call someone a monster, wasted!

 
I don't have a washing machine in my apartment... I told the owner I would pay for the hookup and machines and leave them here if I ever leave this apartment, I've been turned down every year for 5 straight now - I'm sure most of you don't really understand how awful this is, but lugging 30-40 pounds of laundry to the laundromat, doing the laundry, coming home, going back to switch it to the dryer, coming home again, going back, and then bringing it home on a day you took off from work is equivalent to getting a kick in the nuts. My wife rewarded me for the hard work, which was kinda why I did it, but still there has to be an easier way.

Good for you for trying with the landlord- but yeah, that's putting a bunch of liability on him that he's not going to want to cover (all your downstairs neighbors when it leaks). but if that's his concern, you can also buy a pan with sensor and automatic turn-offs.

We've got one in our apt- can't imagine having to do what you're doing... with the kids, feels like we're doing loads every day. and not even having one in the building? ugh- that means the wife has to take junior with her if she's going to do the laundry during the week. sucks. no delivery options?

There are, but my clothes always came back shrunk... I hang a good portion of my stuff now.

Add to that, the delivery was also adding up to a fortune. With tip it was hundreds a month, it was frustratingly expensive!

When I separated and moved out of my house, one of the checklist items in my apartment rental search was in-unit washer/dryer. I can't stand going down to the common laundry room the complexes provide, let alone heading off to a public laundromat.

When I was in college, I'd do the drop off at the laundromat, come back to put the clothes in the dryer, then come back again to take the laundry...until I started losing clothes to thieves, so I had to babysit the laundry the whole time :hot:

Not understanding why you don't wait there - isn't it only 30 minutes?

My advice - move.

Laundromat might be the most miserable place on Earth... It is only 2 blocks from my house anyways, so I'd rather wait in the house.

There are only a handful of things in this world that I realistically want more than a Washer/Dryer :kicksrock:
