Re: Ten Things Tuesday
If K is there too, than perhaps they can celebrate together :-) ((Hugs))
1. After this post I'm going to buckle down and get some major work projects done.
2. Nursing JB 3-4 times a work day is really counter productive to me getting work done. I'm thrilled I can still nurse during the day but it's hard to stay on track when I'm starting and stopping projects so often.
3. My mom is coming out for a week in August to babysit JB. That will be the longest amount of time I've spent alone with my mom. Should be interesting :-p
4. I'm hungry....like really hungry...I might heat up my lunch and it's not even 11am.
5. Like N2A I dream of a new car....a Chevy Tahoe. We are starting to research new cars so maybe this dream will be a reality soon.
6. K thinks a Tahoe is ridiculous. I drive a large truck now and do not want anything smaller. It's just not me.
7. I think my hair is probably a disaster today, thus I'm avoiding the bathroom mirrors. :-p
8. I joined a gym...well really, it's a physical therapy office. Only problem is I have to take JB with me...I'll hope she sleeps or is entertained by things around her.
9. My hair is getting cut next week - yay!
10. I'm giving in to my hunger and eating my lunch now :-)
I hope K can be home with you and JB. But, if she has to be over there, she and my DD would have a GREAT time hanging out. (C and I have been thinking about you A LOT...hope ALL is well.) ((HUGS))
1) I've also been thinking about you Two, i'm sure it cant be easy.
2) And I've also been dreaming of a new, roomier house.
3) As much as I've enjoyed cosleeping, I'm counting the days until Sprout can move downstairs and Rosebud can move into her own room.
4) friday we have a foster event at a local amusement park - we're really looking forward to it!
5) I hope tonight goes better than last tuesday...
6) i'm so freaking tired. of course rosebud would start on a new tooth the week i decide to stop drinking coffee.
7) My mom is too lenient w/ Sprout while at school. If she doesnt start laying down the law, she's gonna have her hands full. Its the first time she's spent a significant amount of time with him, without us, and she really has no idea what he's capable of...
8) I'm craving a burger...which is bizarre for me to say since I don't eat red meat.
9) my house is a mess. total disaster.
10) i dont have it in me to go to the grocery store this week...i think i'm gonna go put in a peapod order.

1. S - I sent C an e-mail about childcare.
2. I am starving. I have been starving since 9am this morning. I need some snacks in my desk.
3. Carter woke way too early this morning (5:40) and wouldn't go back to sleep. *yawn*
4. I am meeting some of my best friends from college tonight for dinner. I am excited!
5. I have a bad attitude at work with some of the docs. I need to work on that before it gets me in trouble. But goodness they annoy me.
6. My calender for August has a picture of those over the water bungalows in Tahiti. I want to go. Now.
7. I need to buy airline tickets to go to see my parents. I can't decide how long to stay (4 or 5 nights.) My parents want 5, L wants 4...I don't care. Either way, I am going to piss someone off.
8. I feel a little guilty for pretending to be asleep when Gray came to our bed at 3am (we agreed to put him back in his bed when he came to ours.) But only a little, since I was the only one who got up with him everynight for 2+ years.
9. Carter is enamored by superheros and now wants us to call him "Iron Man." LOL. Alrighty.
10. I need to buy some new pants. The ones from Kohls, while comfy and cheap, aren't holding up well.
Thank you SO MUCH! We are so freaked out about next week. It may come down to deciding who is more likely to be promoted in the future...that person should go to work...
Hopefully it won't come to that..and one of the options I sent you works. Too bad I have to work - I'd love to babysit - and I'm used to the 2 babies routine.
1. I am motivated today! I've already dropped DW off at work, dropped DD off at school, went grocery shopping, did half of the dishes (there are a ton!), fed the chickens, collected the eggs, and am now cleaning the bathroom.
2. We kept DD out of school yesterday because we had to drive to San Diego to deal with a red light ticket, we weren't sure if we would make it back before school got out.
3. While in San Diego we met up with my brother and he took DD fishing on the pier, she's been asking him to take her fishing for the longest time! She caught some seaweed and the fish kept stealing her bait but my brother caught a guitar shark and let DD hold it.
4. My ex and I have been emailing each other lately, we had a horrible breakup and haven't spoken civilly in years. She just got married and I am so happy for her.
5. I ran this morning. I've been lacking the motivation to run recently so I'm proud of myself.
6. Trader Joe's mini dark chocolate bars are delicious.
7. I need a massage and a back adjustment.
8. This month is going to be a big struggle financially.
9. My sister is due next month. I'm still not on speaking terms with her...and it feels nice to not have to worry about her drama all the time.
10. I'm craving an iced soy vanilla latte from Starbucks.
Two Mommies Healing Hearts
Sorry, double post.
Two Mommies Healing Hearts
1. my insomnia is kicking my behind.
2. i've been so busy i feel like i'm way behind on everything.
3. except work. i'm actually managing to keep up with that.
4. i'm snacking on swedish fish.
5. my baby discovered poop yesterday. more specifically, how much fun it is to play in when you figure out how to get your diaper off.
6. my friend was supposed to get out of the hospital either today or yesterday. i'm hoping it was yesterday, but i haven't talked to her so i don't know for sure.
7. i need to put the fish away before i eat the whole bag.
8. OMG! i hate the construction at work. it is making my whole office vibrate and it's driving me crazy!
9. i need to clean my fish tank.
10. i would like a nap now.
1. I'm not thrilled to be traveling again this week, and even less excited that I have a first floor hotel room. I am excited that I'll be going home on Thursday though.
2. This week is flying by. I feel like I have so much to do. I've been really productive at work, which explains why this week is going by quickly.
3. Vacation next week! Yay!
4. I only had one soda today, but I almost caved this afternoon. I was having a hard time focusing and almost went to the vending machine to get another. I filled up the water bottle instead.
5. I'm surprised that I don't have a massive headache (see #4).
6. I did not have a chance to go to SSA last week to try to change my last name.
7. I wish my mom would come visit. She hasn't been since we moved here two years ago.
8. I'm very excited for the big juicy steak I'm going to eat for dinner tonight.
9. I'm hoping that DW will make me a grilled cheese when I get home on Thursday night.
10. I bought a great pair of jeans for $16!
1. Today is Wednesday. Whoops.
2. Its also C's night home this week and I'm going to dinner w/ work. I have mixed feelings about this.
3. I am obsessively reading multiples info in light of our impending injectible use.
4. Still need a new job.
5. I'm entertaining seeing a contractor.
6. I feel like we're SO BROKE. We make OK money, are trying to pay our loans aggressively, and I don't feel like we've got a lavish lifestyle. Why are we broke?
7. I HATE my loan debt and sometimes regret grad school.
8. I got a brownie this morning i didn't need. For $2.30.
9. I drink too much soda.
10. I am glad this is a free weekend!
I'm a lurker and I feel a little weird jumping in, but I had to comment on this becuase I agree ssoo strongly!! I was just reading a post over in money matters about how much people save per month and it makes me so depressed. I live in a stupidly expense area and my FI and I are both paying way too much for graduate debt. Granted, we both are employed in jobs that require said degrees, but we could probably be making just as much (or more) money doing something else that doesn't require a graduate degree... It's so frustrating!
