Today's Random Wednesday is all about love and hate. Yes, hate is strong word. It's one I don't use while I am in "mommy mode", but a word I am gonna throw out there a few times today. I am justifying it because it's coupled with the for letter word L-O-V-E.

Let me preface by saying this week has been quite the Debbie Downer. I know, as I am typing this self indulgent post, there are millions of people out there frying bigger fish than I am. Sometimes it's acceptable to bitch and moan a little, take today for instance.

Let's begin.

I love this amazing spring-like weather we have been experiencing in the Austin area.

I hate being so pasty white. I refuse to go back to the tanning beds and have been too lazy to do any self tanners. Pasty it is, for a few more months at least. Or maybe I will layout, lathered in baby oil on our trampoline this weekend.

I love being a mom to a 2nd grader.

I hate dealing with crazy drama that takes place at her school, being caught off guard, seeing my child cry, being labeled by others and having her heart broken. It's ridiculous and almost makes me consider home school. I hate to even imagine what it's going to be like in middle school. God, give me the wisdom.

I love that Justin Timberlake is bringing his Sexy Back.

I hate that the radio is already playing his new song every 30 minutes. Can't we just savor it for a month or so. I predict a "Call Me Maybe" repeat.

I love being able to talk to my best friend about anything and everything.

I hate that we live three hours away and we do all our gossip by text and phone calls.

I love getting comments and emails from all you ladies.

I hate that my inbox is over flowing and I haven't had a chance to respond to so many of you. I am not ignoring you. Promise.

I love that I can call my dermatologist, get an appointment the same day and not have to wait for months.

I hate that I get these crazy cystic acne spots that result in getting two shots of cortisone prodded into my face. Painful, people, just painful. So worth it though. This sucker will vanish in less than 24 hours. I may or may not have tried to toss a few syringes in my bag.

I love blogging and being a blogger.

I hate hearing about bloggers getting their feelings hurt by other bloggers, getting ignored or being talked about. Grow up, people. Instead of being catty and gross, try and support and lift up a few ladies that may need it today. It's amazing how much better you feel when you make someone smile versus being a big ol' "B".

I love that my girls are feeling better and recovering from the flu.

I hate that I am running 100.3 fever as I type. I am NOT getting the flu. I am NOT getting the flu.

Okay, I think that about does it today. What are you loving and hating these days? Anything ruffling your feathers? Let it all out, sisters. Let it all out.

**If you are linking up today, please use good manners. I kindly ask that you follow my blog and link back to it in your post. It's called blogging etiquette.

Oh, and go meet some new friends!
