Tell me about your day.
It's a little quiet here.
Mine: I dropped D off at a playdate. Then took the girls to the library and home and made boxed mac & cheese and attempted to get brownies done and failed--sort of. Picked up D and took the kids to the grocery store and then to Michael's and then home and started dinner and then cleaned and cleaned. Then made teacher appreciation cards with D and then hung out and talked with him in bed and now here listening to tunes and having me time.
Stupid H is talking about renting in Fairfield, lol. 
He's doing really well with investing now that he doesn't have stock restrictions, so there's that.
Re: Tell me about your day.
Are you talking about Fairfield CT?
My day sucked. I don't have a job right now and our car was in the garage and it was raining. I didn't leave the house. BF and I tried to skype tonight and it wouldn't connect, then I cried a little because I miss him.
I made myself feel better by getting pizza for dinner, but now my mouth tastes like leftover garlic dip.
Poor me.
Took C to get a new pair of Crocs and a couple shirts for K. Had lunch and then the girls had nap time. After nap went next door where C played with kids and we had dinner there, but C didn't want to eat much which led to a long, drawn out bedtime routine tonight complete with C pooping again and having snacks since she had such a small dinner.
Now she is sleeping, I think, at the foot of her bed, but she only went to bed for the last time about 45 minutes ago.
Oh, I was able to get another picture of C holding K ( I am putting some pictures together for my sister for mother's day) and she started to sing You Are My Sunshine to her. By the time i got my phone to record it, she stopped.
Lord, I am tired.
Do you trust your H with investment decisions?
After finally dragging myself out of bed, took a shower and got ready. Had breakfast with L. Took her to preschool.
Went to work and did the work thing.
Came home and got prepared foods dinner from the grocery store. Met L and H at the park and went to the beach. Walked around but no where to sit because the tide was so high and the waves were scaring L. So back to the park to eat at a picnic table and watch L play for a bit. Came home, fought her through a shower. Now she's in her bed listening to lion king, I'm drinking a glass of wine and watching Survivor.
I hope you get to skype tomorrow. And your car is fixed by tomorrow. Hope tomorrow is a better day.
Yes.
My day.. Regular 50 min commute into work, work semi hard today.. Emailed a guy I'm super interested in all day.. No cell phones at work so we were chatting via email and it was really awesome! .. Not my most professional day..
Left work to find out a poop Truck overturned On the highway and spent the next 2 hours driving really really REALLY slow to get home.
Got my Hair One shipped ever so sweetly by peachy cuz Canada sucks azz and doesn't sell it.
Washed my hair with my new hair cleanser, washed my face and oiled up my skin with olive oil, hatched a plan to try the OCM on may long weekend.
Drank half a bottle of wine.
Top day!
Started out with last minute " has to be delivered in an hour" project at work.
Then crappy email from doctor.
Then great conversation from husband, sister and friends.
Then zombie hugs from Internet friends
Then a kick ass yoga class
Where I did a headstand off the wall!
I have a project to finish at work before tomorrow night, so that made my workday go fast. Came home, had an awkward conversation with the neighbors, H made pizza, started C25K with my next door neighbor. Now I'm procrastinating on work, and trying not to think about the spider in Dowager's post while I get ready to go to bed.
I got some ugly plants cleared out of my flower beds this week, so I'm all excited to find some new stuff to put in there this weekend.
Thank you, really
. We got the car back, but they didn't find anything wrong with it, so I'll probably end up stranded somewhere.
I see BF in 2 weeks, so I just need to focus on that, and it makes me smile.
That is so sweet that she was singing to her sister. I'm never able to get things on video either, my kids always seem to stop just as I ready to shoot a vid or take a pic.
I am so-so on his investing abilities. He has a lot of knowledge, but it takes more than knowledge, a person needs to have a sense of when to put in and when to pull out. I'm giving him a year and see what his capital gains turn out to be.
I had the best day. I got my meds adjusted yesterday.
I ran a review for psych this morning, and it went well. My kids are studying their patooties off for AP. I ran a couple of errands during my morning planning period, and then had three great classes. I gave my goodbye speeches because today was the last "normal" day, and I cried a little. I love these kids.
Another psych review and then I picked P up. She seemed to need some mommy time right away, so we sat in the lobby of her school and read three books.
Then I came home, made her dinner and cleaned her bathroom while she took her bath.
Now, here I sit.
Sorry about the bad email:( Hope everything will be ok. Sounds like you kicked arse despite bad news, though:)
Today was one of the suckier days I have had in a while, but luckily it is almost over and I can start fresh tomorrow.
They were doing construction next door this morning. My intent was to sleep in until right before work, but I couldn't sleep. I was too tired to get up and get anythign done so I just laid there and stared for a couple hours until the noise stopped. lol
My cat barfed and I had to clean it up.
My grandma was diagnosed with dementia. (previous post)
All i have gotten all day is dumb people calling me with dumb questions. It is frightening that these people enforce the law and carry guns.
Luckily my night crew at work makes me turn into a fool and we have been laughing since 9pm. They are my savior!
Tomorrow I am off work, I start my photography class and am going to cardio kickbox, so it will be a much better day.
It's great that she takes showers. I don't think I could get D to shower.
What kind of wine?
My day was pretty not awesome.
Started out with not being able to get the right angles on an xray, and ended with a coworker stealing a patient from my doctor and then complaining loudly about how terrible I am while I was standing right behind her. Bttch ruined my already sucky day, and I am so over my stupid job right now.
That's awesome that you had a top day. I hope things continue to go well with your guy, that's really exciting.
Can still barely move, thought today was a better day since I was at least walking, then bam, I couldn't walk anymore. Went to acupuncture, now I stink of herb and camphor for a 10 feet radius with a herb patch that they put in my lower back.
Oh and every single one of my pills is causing me massive heart burn.
My house is a verifialble mess, and I can't even pick up my computer without cringing and feeling like my back is about to snap.
So, yeah...
I love Trumbull! We need to stay near the train too, but if you come right down route 108 it can be quick to the Stratfrord train. Isn' the Ffld train like an 8 year wait now?
I agree, you can have the know how, but so much of investing seems to be that mixed with great instincts.
I'm sorry your bloodwork results weren't what you wanted, sweetday. Glad you got good support though. What kind of yoga do you do? Is there a special yoga name for the headstand off a wall?
GO YOU!!
I am still too scared. lol
You garden? Flowers or food or what? I'd like to have a vegetable/fruit garden when we get a home.
Thanks. Eta: Leah & Mofongo - thanks!
I don't remember the name
. I will find out tomorrow and let you know.
All my days feel like that, lol.
Sounds like you did lot though.
What Mexican dishes do you like specifically?
Started out great- laid in bed a little bit (after 7:30, gasp!)
Got my laundry folded, bedrooms cleaned and bathroom mostly clean. Played with T, spent an hour drinking coffee while he ate his breakfast.
Had a bit of a meltdown, as witnessed earlier. Dealt with some work stuff and left for a work meeting. Nurse from yesterday called to check up. I don't think she was happy with what she heard, but I'm supposed to call back tomorrow if my throat is still sore, and refrain from picking up T. Ended up being half an hour late because I forgot my purse and had to turn around. Got the meeting done and got a lot accomplished.
Finished my homework and am going to turn in. Big meeting day tomorrow, but I'm going to kick it off with coffee and a meeting with my friend for her birthday, and by dropping T off to play with my other friend's little boy.
