Re: 10 things tuesday
1. How is it only 11:30am?
2. I am taking tomorrow off to take the kids to the dentist. It didn't make sense to take them to school in the middle of their lunch only for the to nap and play for a bit. So we will have a relaxing morning, go to the dentist, go to lunch, have a nap, and then meet their best friend at the pool and have a playdate. I am excited to have a relaxed day.
3. L and I are READY for vacation. We leave in 12 days. But before that, we need to get through L's 4 day work trip. Boo.
4. I totally let the cat out of the bag last night when I offhandedly said to the kids, "Those are for when you go to your new school." We weren't going to tell them until their last week at their current school (next week.) It was met with, "New school? What new school? We're going to be new school???" Ugh.
5. I've been cleaning out of my office of old paperwork/chart notes. It is like a walk down memory lane.
6. I just bought a new GPS. Mine is several years old and out of date. It cost as much to get a map update as it did a new GPS. But of course, I upgraded and got one with Bluetooth, traffic, 3-D...well, at least my birthday money paid for it. Well, most of it.
7. I think I am going to get a pedi after work.
8. I had crazy dreams last night.
9. I am more much efficient at getting the kids to bed than L. They totally play her and she caves (aka lays down on the floor with them.) SUCKA.
10. I am trying to find water bottles for the kids (at the new school we have to provide the drink.) I am finding it impossible to find a water bottle that fits in their lunch box (putting it in the outside mesh pocket is too difficult), won't leak, and doesn't get condentation (aka make everything soggy.) Who knew it would be so hard to find?
1. OMG, my back hurts.
2. I checked homedepot.com for a bunch of the items we need for foster care, prices aren't too bad.
3. I hope I get a call today letting me know that our app has made it to the corporate office.
4. DD lied about having homework yesterday and somehow lost it this morning, I made her ask her teacher for a replacement copy to do tonight.
5. I want to decorate the bathroom.
6. And build a set of mini bunk beds for the cats.
7. I keep hoping that we somehow get a little black girl to care for even though the agency likes to match ethnicity as close as possible. We are caucasian and mexican.
8. I also would like a sibling group... An infant girl and a little girl 2-7.
9. I'm not going to be picky though.
10. I don't remember whose blog it was on but someone had a foster child book that was similar to a baby book, who was that? I want to get one.

1. I am really worried about my brother. We're not close but I think he's really on the edge of going over the edge (long story, painkiller issue)
2. I am also daydreaming about the semi-annual gay family vacation we want to take once the kids are old enough.
3. You know, the kids we don't have yet?
4. I am considering goingt o the gym over lunch, even though its already almost 130 and I am leaving early
5. Still need a new job!
6. C had to travel for work today/tomorrow and while shes annoyed I think its awesome because she flys out of here, so more nights home!
7. Still no new AC. I am getting used to it though. thank goodness we still have the old window unit.
8. I'm terrified we'll never afford a house in NJ.
9. I want a brownie. I already ate all the food I brought for today.
10. I decided this is my last season of rugby.
Was it me?

1) I'm having so much trouble focusing this week. can we just go ahead and fast forward to friday?
2) The kids had a good visit this week. The evening visits are kinda working out - it means DW and I get a built-in date night every week (well, every week they have a visit...).
3) chicken parm panini for lunch was delish, but now i need a nap.
4) i'm ready to get new pics done of the kids...they just change so much so fast!
5) I ordered a piglet costume for rosebud. i cant WAIT until it comes in, she's going to look so freaking cute.
6) Sprout's going to be disappointed in the piglet - his vote was for his sister to be an alien for halloween.
7) but, i had to go w/ Piglet b/c Sprout chose to be Tigger this year, and you know how i feel about sticking with a theme.
8) I have turkey burgers pulled out for dinner but i'm not at all in the mood for them.
9) We're planning a trip to sesame place - sprout's going to be psyched!
10) Something about priceline makes me really nervous. but i know i can get a great deal with them...i really need to suck it up and bid.

1. I am literally at my wits end with LMC. I cannot take another second of the drama.
2. BIG court date for PBS in a few days, so nervous/excited/worried
3. I am feeling really inadequate in every way lately. I feel like I suck at everything right now.
4. As much as I do not want to get an evening job I think it might be good for me to get out of the house here and there.
5. I am so excited that the holidays are just around the corner. I am already planning all kinds of fall crafts and decor.
6. My mom is awesome. She always makes me feel so much better. I hope my girls feel that way about me one day.
7. Our SW told the placement coordinator that she thinks we are ready for another baby! She also told me she knows of 3 babies due around Christmas.
8. Things are not how I had hoped they would be and I am feeling really sad about that. I am not good at letting go of a dream.
9. I think I might try canning.
10. We have been toying with the idea of moving out of state once things are settled with the girls. Ahh Vermont and Connecticut, I dream of you often. I have no idea if we will actually do it but it's nice to dream about.
Yes, it was you.
Thanks!

1. I can't believe CT has already ordered halloween costumes...well actually I can
2. Jelly Bean was awake every 2 hours last night.
3. JB is having a rough day in daycare.
4. Because of #2 and #3 the doctor wants me to bring her in to rule out an ear infection.
5. I'm getting my hair cut tonight. I don't know what I'm going to do though. My mornings are so rushed at times it is nice having long hair I can just pull back. On the other hand I need a change.
6. I'm pretending to be on the phone so I don't have to talk to someone who is coming up the hallway.
7. Being up every two hours has left me really really tired.
8. I saw a cupcake bus the other day and immediately wondered if I could get them to come to my work.
9. Yup - only 9 today. :-p
