I thought I'd start a thread for a change. So...? Let's hear your hopes, dreams, random musings, worries, etc...
Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1. my baby girl is snuggled up next to me. it is the best feeling ever.
2. b/c of #1 typing is difficult
3. i'm also pumping at the same time...talk about multi-tasking!
4. i'm determined to make it to Target today.
5. daytime tv is sure to rot my brain. i need to figure out how to nurse/pump and read at the same time.
6. i am constantly hungry.
7. sometimes i miss how active this board used to be.
8. my laptop battery is about to die.
9. i need dinner ideas
10. okay...off to try and get to the store
I'm going to de-lurk & jump in...
1) I am so over traveling. I feel like my suitcase never gets unpacked!
2) I also wish my office would get their scheduling life together and quit telling me on Friday that I will have to go somewhere halfway across the country on Monday.
3) DW got a promotion at work! Woo hoo!
4) I hope the tennis courts dry out enough for me to play my match this evening.
5) It's 11:02 and my stomach is already growling for lunch.
6) Countdown to vacation... 2.5 weeks!
7) I'm afraid to plug my phone into my work computer to download these pictures of an office charity event because we have this stupid encryption program... someone's iPod got encrypted last week!
8) I don't understand why some people like to be so dramatic about everything.
9) I never realized how expensive it is to be in someone's wedding until I added up all of my expenses this morning from being in my friend's wedding recently.
10) Forgot to thaw meat for dinner - looks like takeout again.
1) I also miss how active this board used to be. we should pick a day and on that day, everyone who logs in, starts a thread. It could be about anything. That would be a fun day
2) I have to do a quick intro in front of 100+ people today and I know my face is going to get red. i hate that.
3) I'd so much rather be home with my babies
4) Giving shots is much harder in my mind than it is in real life
5) mother's day is going to be wierd this year
6) I'm starving. i also have no idea what's for dinner.
7) I'm very grateful that I only go into the office four days a week
8) I cant wait to meet baby two
9) Its National Infertility Awareness Week. spread the love.
10) a week from today Rosebud will be 6 months old. holy crap. how did that happen?? I'm really struggling with her growing up. She gets more wonderful every day, but I hate how quickly its happening. Its way more depressing for me than it should be.

1. I miss the activity too.
2. I still owe people checks.
3. I am really nervous for the CD 15 appointment. Next Monday.
4. I still need a new job.
5. I don't think our house is going to sell.
6. Blah.
7. I'm hungry.
8. I am pretty over school these days.
9. I really want to go shopping for clothes.
10. And a pedicure!
1. I'm no help with keeping the boards active! I usually read from my ipod these days, which doesn't let me post! Plus, I'm pretty much a broken record - still working on the house, still getting ready for Henry. It's the same old story each day!
2. I wonder when I'll go into labor.
3. I'm starting to feel less frantic about the To-Do's and more ready to welcome our baby. There's still plenty to be done, of course, but for the most part, the biggest, most important stuff is taken care of. So now I'm starting to feel kind of zen about it all.
4. I kind of feel like all I do at this point of the pregnancy is pee and eat. LOL.
5. I too need to get to Target - I think I'll go tomorrow.
6. I'm hoping to get some good freezer-cooking done this week to get the fridge stocked for Henry's arrival!
7. We're at a point now where each room in the house (except the basement) is almost there. There are no more boxes in the main part of the house, and it's feeling so much more normal and together - I may actually be able to hang some pictures this week!
8. Alright, I'm staring at #8 and can't think of anything worth saying...time for lunch!

Okay, so it's not just my iPod that has issues posting! Sometimes I've found that if you click on the "html" button it will let you do it, but other times not. Just not worth the hassle!
1. I miss our busy board too!
2. Court AGAIN tomorrow...ugh, dreading the whole thing.
3. I feel weird about Mother's Day too. I think I will always feel like it's for my mom.
4. I feel very anxious and unsettled. I hate that feeling
5. PBS is getting way too big. It's exciting to watch her grow but I miss the tiny baby too.
6. I am actually looking forward to seeing my Dr. in a few weeks. I need to feel better.
7. I think we will order in tonight. I need a cooking break.
8. I wish I could meet all the SSH babies and their mommies.
9. I am so hungry but too tired to make anything.
10.I think it might rain, yay! I love the rain.
1. I am starving.
2. L just said "If anyone told you all of the headaches that go with having kids, the human race would die off." LOL.
3. We are SCRAMBLING to find a new school for fall and summer program for the boys. We are dissatisfied where they are, the school where we thought they would go is full, and so we are booking tours left and right trying to find someplace that we like, is somewhat convenient, and we can afford ($27,000 per kid for preschool anyone!?!?!?!)
4. The place we toured today was great. We loved it. The kids will learn so much. We can afford it. It is far from home/work.That makes me hesitate and sad (in school with before/after care and then a 45 minute commute home.)
5. We need to move. I need to call our loan officer to find out what we can afford. That conversation scares me.
6. I have to find a semi-formal dress on Thursday for L's work party. I have 1 night after work to find a dress and shoes. That makes me nervous.
7. I have a meeting in an hour. They will have cupcakes. That makes me happy. But I guess I should get lunch first.
8. When the boys turn 4, they can go to a parents night out at our gym. 4 hours of childcare for ($15/per kid!) I am so freaking excited!
9. My head is so consumed by my personal life, that I am having a hard time concentrating and doing my work.
10. I am meeting friends for dinner tonight. YAY!!!
1. I woke up this morning and my eyesight was blurry. Totally freaky. I went to the doctor and he said my eyes are just really dry. So now I have to use eye drops every hour. Ick.
2. I've really fallen off the wagon on exercising the past week in favor of laying on the couch watching Army Wives and Buffy.
3. I need to get a new phone and I'm toying with getting an iphone. But I hate giving my money to AT&T.
4. I would love a nap right now.
5. I'm seriously considering having ice cream for dinner. My friend brought be homemade ice cream cones.
6. I'm having a really hilarious email war with a coworker today. She miscounted the number of months in a year with really funny results.
7. E and I are going through post-vacation withdrawal. We're so used to seeing each other every day that it's hard to spend all day working...and to not be able to talk constantly.
8. I went to a homebuying workshop yesterday. I'm taking babysteps. I have trouble trusting real estate agents.
9. I really want to buy a house, I just don't want to pay the cost of a house in this city Mostly, I have these philosophical issues with the US housing system, that really have no place in my thought process about what's better for me and my family in the real world.
10. I finished reading the book Committed and really like it.
I have the HTC Eris. It is a cross between the Droid and an iPhone. It runs Android, which is a lot like the iPhone and has tons of apps but not as bulky as the iPhone. It is through Verizon. I love it.
Thanks for the tip! I've never had a verizon phone, how's the service in this area?
