Hump Day!
Normally today would consist of work, gym, class but the problem is the stupid freeway that would get me from the gym to class is closed, and would thus add another 15mins to my drive leaving my workout to all of 20mins at a maximum. So I have to come up with a new plan.
I have nothing planned except for a bunch of paperwork after work today, because I haven't been at school yet this week due to training. Who wants to place bets on how bad my kiddos were?

Re: Hump Day!
Morning! I bet your kiddos were juuuuuuuust fine Mo. They wouldn't want to anger you afterall!
Derek didn't get home until nearly 10 last night and pretty much ate some dinner and went straight to bed. Still no sexytime either, since his nuts are still too sore. Silly fellow.
I did a new workout video last night. 24 mins of HIIT and dude it kicked my butt. I may be strong, but apparently my cardio endurance is lacking. I'm going to aim to do this a few days a week, and hopefully whip my self back into shape!
Tonight is everything I had planned for last night, workout and pork tenderloin.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I'm still in Florida on vacation. Ed went home last night, but I am staying with my parents until Saturday. I am planning my long run (only 6 miles this week though) around 9 this morning. Then I think my mom and I are going to go shopping while my dad golfs. Mom has a golf lesson at 12:30, so I think I am going to try to get a pedicure while she does that. Then I plan to lay out by the pool all afternoon.
(I am already dreading returning to the land of snow at the end of the week...)
BFP 5/2/11, missed m/c, D&C 6/13/11
BFP 12/8/11--Little Girl E Born 8/22/12
I'm here! Turns out having a student teacher is a TON of work (I really should have known that), and I haven't had much free time to do anything.
Also, I walked into two door handles yesterday and now it hurts like hell (typing hurts, grabbing things hurts) and I'm off to the doctor to deal with it later this afternoon.

I am having a horrible week at work. I haven't been this stressed since god knows when. I had a 1x1 yesterday and was pretty much told...I need to step it up. (my file count is still low and I had one bad review last month) I have always been a top performer, and currently I am in the bottom 3. So of course I come in today to my lowest scored review EVER. I have been crying at my desk for about 20 minutes now. (I feel like such a loser right now). So basically I will be MIA... I will try to check in once a day if I can after the boys go to bed.
The only good thing about this week, is I am finally BACK ON TRACK for weight loss. It is the first time since I started WW in October that I Have tracked for the full week. I saw a huge difference in the scale. I am anxious for my weigh in tomorrow.
Have a great day ladies.
I'm having a super slow start to my day. i can't really sleep, so waking up has been a nightmare this week. I'm trying to get to work every day this week without taking a vacation day or sick time. We'll see how that goes. I just feel drained, and it's killing me.
I came in to work about a half hour late, walking into way unnecessary drama. My boss doesn't really stay up with what happens day to day in the office, so then she gets an email or phone call and flips her lid without finding out if it's already been handled. There's 4 other people in the office. It's been taken care of. Why these people talk to one of us and then randomly contact her is beyond me. It's getting so annoying to work here.
Morning, ladies! Today I started off with a half-calf large coffee; I don't drink caffeine much anymore, but it was seriously needed today.
Last night was great--had a fantastic discussion about the two books we read (Empress Orchid--do not recommend; Bel Canto--enthusiastic recommend) and have a bunch to choose from for next month. I got to have a long convo with my dad for his birthday (which was great--he usually passes off the phone immediately to my mom because my mom is a phone hog), and did a bit of vacation searching with the H once I got home. We still haven't bought, but we're going to Cancun in April, damn it.
Today will hopefully consist of a book order, finishing up Freedom, and a good run at the gym.
it's only wednesday??
Nothing big going on here... might go to yoga tonight with one of my neighbors, still need to get back to her. If not I might go for a run outside, its supposed to be in the 50s today... 65 by Friday, so excited! Not much else going on, need to make a return to Anthro... might do that at lunch, but I'm scared I'll buy things I dont need.... especially since a lot of things hit the sale racks yesterday.

Morning!
I am buried under my desk right now, so much to get done and not enough time in the day!
Last night I got home at 8:30, ate dinner and went to bed. Tonight will probably be a repeat of that. I am so ready for this week to be over.
Have a great day ladies!
Good morning!
I'm boss asked me to put together a budget and attorney compensation plan this week. I'm dreading doing it because I have no idea what I'm doing or what he wants exactly. I've tried to talk to him about it several times, but I'm still unsure so I'm a bit stressed!
Tonight J and I are going to stop by Lowe's and check out some material for building a patio this spring, then we're going to Chipolte for dinner. Yum!!
Good morning. I went to the RE this morning and, pending my lab results this afternoon, we are on to IUI #3. I am both excited and petrified.
Work is still insane with the Verizon dealings, but our regular contact came back from maternity leave on Monday and had done more to help me in the last two days that D-bag did in the last three months. I am finally optimistic that we might have completely restored service before too much longer.
I also have a giant pile of crap stuff that I need to call various people about and I hate doing it, so I keep putting it off. It doesn't make it any better, though, so I might as well just suck it up and do it.

Reba - Fingers crossed that you get the green light!
I've been kind of checked out all week. I created a digital postcard last month that the partnes wanted to send out, but they realized the email addresses in Access haven't really been maintained. So it's been like pulling teeth to get them to step up and even just give me the info so I can enter it. I'm 1/2 tempted to log in as one of them and send it, so they have to see what a PITA it is to get all the return to sender notifications.
Outside in the real world, not job related, I'm really enjoying my photography/camera class. I just wish the weather would cooperate so I could go out and shoot a little more.
Good morning,
I am having a hard time focusing. All I can think is this weekend I am going to be drinking wine in Spain. DH and I packed most of our clothes yesterday. We are trying to be a bit more organized before we leave. Last trip was a bit slap dash and we brought way to much stuff.
I also have a meeting today at 3. I'm not really in mood to talk about design today. I just want to draft.
Also Raynes you are invading my dreams. I had a dream I was talking to you on the phone about your kitchen.
Did you like my Canadian accent?
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Today completed day 4 out of a 9 day work stretch for me. Almost halfway!
Work was pretty busy and I felt pretty overwhelmed at one point but just stayed calm and got all the major problems dealt with.
It was 40 degrees when I got home so I busted out my reflective vest and went for a 10km run. It felt good to not run on a treadmill. Still lots of snow but the sidewalks are mostly clear now.
Tomorrow is my super busy day. Not looking forward to it.
