Re: 10 things Tuesday
1) i was just coming on to start TTT
2) i'm shocked that we havent gotten another call yet. shocked.
3) i have a conference this afternoon and i'm dreading it. I'd rather shove pencils in my eye than learn about state regulations.
4) Movie night tonight...debating b/w 2012, the box, a christmas carol, and the men who stare at goats. wow, guess there's a lot out we want to see!
5) although i'd rather forgo movie night all together and pick up a child (or two) instead...
6) i finally decided on drapes for the dining room. I got them really cheap and i think they look great. score!
7) i need to get going on holiday shopping but just cant think of good, creative gifts...
8) but, i have gotten about 50% of my holiday cards finished which is exciting.
9) Andrea agreed to go with me to a cloth diapering class. she's such a good sport
10) almost time for lunch!
Blogs: Our Growing Family - CT Working Moms



1. COME ON MONKEY!
2. oops. somehow i posted this with just one thing. i'll fix that!
3. my wife is so miserable right now. i got up this morning and found her on the recliner in the nursery because she couldn't sleep.
4. she called me 3 times yesterday. doesn't she know what that ringtone is doing to me right now?!
5. i think i'm ready to be off for a while. i think. i hope.
6. i need a camcorder.
7. and i want to upgrade my camera. not that i really need to right now. i just want to.
8. our house has been cleaned from top to bottom.
9. i think tonight i'm going to try to hang some stuff in the nursery and get pictures up on my blog.
10. but really i'm hoping that tonight we're at the hospital.
I hear you! I'm actually really excited to get shopping - I just have no idea what I'm going to buy!
2. I'm eating salt and vinegar chips before lunch.
3. I don't feel bad about it at all - found out yesterday I've only gained like 5lbs my whole pregnancy so far!
4. I'm so relieved to have a four day week. Friday night we have a rehearsal dinner and Saturday a wedding - that will be plenty enough to wear me out.
5. Everyone, inlcuding my wife is feeling convinced that we're having a girl... We'll find out on December 14th!!!!!
6. All I can think about is the townhouse we saw on Saturday. It was so nice!
7. My arm is a little sore from my h1n1 vacc.
8. So glad I got both vaccines - people seem to be dropping like flies in my office. I just disinfected my desk.
9. I need to find a store that has my favorite crib in stock - I don't think C will be totally sold on it until she sees it in person.
10. Slow day at work today.
sahm ~ toddler breastfeeder ~ cloth diaperer ~ baby wearer
1. I'm super excited for Bluedaisy and her wife, who will get to meet their son anytime now :-)
2. I'm feeling really baby kicks now and I've even felt a few from the outside.
3. I hope when K gets back to town today she will get to feel a real baby kick too.
4. I didn't bring a lunch with me - Panera or Moe's?
5. My second job is exhausting and the only thing motivating me is buying nursery furniture.
6. I have 3 major items on my to-do list and I will get them done!
7. I've been working on this list off and on for at least 15 minutes.
8. I still feel awful that my parents had to put our cat to sleep. I want to send them something but I don't know what.
9. Because of an early meeting tomorrow I'll need to leave my house at least 30 minutes earlier than normal. That would be fine if I wasn't getting home at 11pm.
10. I've decided Panera for lunch wins :-)
1. I can't believe it is only Tuesday.
2. I spent a week deciding on which new phone to get. Finally decided on the Eris and when I went to pull the trigger last night, they didn't have any in stock. Grumble.
3. I am really hungry. Wonder what is in the cafeteria. Nothing good I am sure.
4. Work has been crazy busy. I am behind. So I am posting here and wasting more time. Sigh.
5. The boys teacher gave me a guilt trip for not coming to their Thanksgiving potluck this afternoon. L just went to the one for Halloween (and made individual pumpkin shaped rice crispy treats with little puzzles attached to the bag) and read stories. For today's Thanksgiving party she made homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Only 2 parents are coming - so it wasn't like our 2 were the only ones without parents. Working mommy guilt. Sheesh.
6. I often work with parents who do not deserve the wonderful children they have and it makes me so sad for the kids. And a bit sad for the parents - what made them so miserable that they treat their children like that?
7. I have NO idea what to get my parents for Christmas. NO IDEA.
8. I am meeting some dads and their 3 year olds from our Rainbow Families group this weekend for a playdate. Should be fun!'
9. My wife likes to live in an icebox. I was so cold last night (despite layers of clothes and blankets) and she was in top of the covers in a short sleeved nightshirt.
10. I think I am going to hunt for food now and work later. Yep, sounds like a plan.
1. I want Blue to meet her Monkey soon and I want to know his name!
2. I want CT to get another call right this second.
3. I am feeling really anxious but I am not sure why
4. I have a craving for pumpkin pie
5. I feel a little sad that PBS is walking. She never really got to be a baby, she did everything so early. It's criminal what these people did to their children.
6. I either have PMS or some kind of special illness that makes me cry at every holiday commercial I see.
7. I am really looking forward to nap time. I need a few minutes to myself.
8. I wish it would snow here.
9. I love that the house smells like cinnamon
10.I love how much my family loves these girls. It's helps heal some ttc wounds to watch them all together.
OOPS! I accidentally had posted under C's account again!
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure

1. I taught my first lesson for my internship today!

(

1. I'm sick. It's mostly a sore throat, but I just got results that it's not strep.
2. I'm skipping class tonight to rest. I need to get better cause there's so much to do this week, and so little time.
3. Since I'm not pregnant and not trying again until early 2010, I'm going to do a bunch of non-ttc stuff including donate blood, get a tattoo, drink on the holidays (if I feel like it) and maybe get flu shot(s) if they're still available (once my current cold is gone).
4. We're signing papers tomorrow and moving Friday!!!
5. Christine's best friend arrives Thursday and my dad arrives Friday.
6. I am so behind on school. I need a weekend to catch up but that won't be until right before finals.
7. It's weird being home without Kai (I took him to stay with my family while we move). He would normally be on my lap or at my feet right now.
8. I'm not sure what we're having for dinner. I really hate not having a plan.
9. My sister turns 13 on Friday. Last night, I got to help her plan the details for her party. 5 of her friends are coming home with her after school for pizza, seeing New Moon and a slumber party. I hope they have fun!
10. Related to 9, I'm excited about the fandango/Visa signature 2 for 1 promo I just found out about last night. C and I will definitely be using that next time we go to the movies.
Three college kids tried out then turned down (huh?) playing w/ the local union All Stars team because of this game. I didn't even know Lehigh/Lafayette had football TEAMS!
1. I am going to suck at the half marathon this weekend and will likely walk a lot.
2. My back is still not 100% and its been nearly a month. Ok, 3+ weeks.
3. I am eating chocolate chips out of the bag.
4. I signed up for WW again online.
5. I have two days left this week and am over by 30 pt. After weekly + activity points.
6. The L&O SUV commerical accusing my fav of murder is upsetting.
7. I can't watch L&O at home alone.
8. My hamstring is kind of throbbing slightly. If that makes sense. i only ran 3 miles today.
9. That worries me.
10. I am kind of glad I'm getting obsessive about getting my runs in again. It bodes well for my training for Austin in Jan.
Lol, a lot of people don't! But we are actually The Most Played College Football Rivalry!
