Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1) My job interview this morning went great.
    2) I have another interview at Lowe's tomorrow @ 10 (I dont really want to work at Lowes, but a job beats no job)
    3) Another school wants to interview me tomorrow @ 11 
    4) I called the school to see if they had another time available since the @ 11 was in an email and she asked "are you available at 11". 
    5) I am overwhelmed by 2 & 3
    6) I really hope I just get the job from today because it is close to home and the people are nice
    7) I'm starving but too lazy to fix a snack... hmmm what to eat...
    8) I got my bangs cut yesterday and that was emotionally horrifying because my hair stylist at Great Clips (where I'd never been before) cut her finger within the first 5 mins and dropped the comb 2x... My hair looks great so maybe she was just having a clutzy day.
    9) My allergies are giving me a fit, bring on the first frost please
    10) I may have a job by the end of the week YAY!!!!!

  • 1. We have our first play date today at a local playground :)

    2. I am watching my friend's 6 year old son today so he gets to go on the play date too.

    3. I was going to watch him until school starts but I guess she made other arrangements starting tomorrow.

    4. Ava Nichol loves yogurt!

    5. I think Ava Nichol's medicine is working. I hope it gets all cleared up so we don't have to go back to the doctor for stronger meds.

    6. September keeps getting busier and busier for us.

    7. I love sleeping in a clean bed :)

    8. I am hungry but I forgot to get myself breakfast stuff when we went grocery shopping. I could make eggs but I am lazy.

    9. I took some stuff out of the freezer for dinners this week but I didn't make any sort of plan. I need to get on that.

    10. Well DD is done with breakfast so I have to go clean her up!

  • 1) I found out what I am teaching next year and am completely overwhelmed - k-5 general music, 4-5 chorus, and 4-5 strings.  I start in 3 weeks.  Eeeeek...

    2) I NEED to find something for my skin!  I am completely broken out.  All of my pre-pregnancy face stuff included benzoil peroxide and retin A and salisylic acid, and the ob yesterday wasn't exactly helpful.

    3) I need Zyrtec.  Stat.  My allergies are screwing with my singing and the ob did say that Zyrtec is safe during pregnancy.

    4) I have to go teach a bunch of lessons today.  It's raining buckets here and I just want to crawl back into bed.

    5) I feel a lot better having seen the heartbeat yesterday.

    6) I haven't been to the beach or a pool yet this summer.  Boo!!!

    7) We booked a vacation for Christmas week since we had to cancel Disney this summer.  Sun and sand here we come!

    8) I think I'm out...

    You made my wedding day complete.

  • 1) I love my DH so much. He's been working such long hours lately and still manages to come home with a smile on his face and to take care of me. :)

    2) Adalyn is so active. She is kicking me like crazy about every two hours day and night.

    3) Because she's so active I wake up 3-5 times a night...

    4) I guess I should just accept the fact that I won't have a full nights sleep for a while.

    5) I really can't stand the enhanced sense of smell/taste that comes with pregnancy...

    6) My cousin who is due 3 weeks after me had an ultrasound recently, and the cysts that were on her sons brain are gone! Yay!

    7) I got a leg cramp while walking around with my sister and she freaked out thinking I was going into labor. She's a little paranoid (and only 14).

    8) Ive been feeling my grandmas prescence a lot more lately, and it's nice to feel like she's watching over me.

    9) The reality is sinking in that I probably won't be able to see my grandpa before he passes, unless by some miracle he survives the winter...

    10) I would go out to see him but they live in the middle of nowhere, 5 hours away from us, with the closest hospital 2 hours away. I can't risk that being this far along or with a newborn. I'm feeling really guilty about this...

  • 1) H's interview went well - he thinks, if he gets it we'd have to move to the Poconos. I don't know that I like that.

    2) I got cut from work, but I'm super okay with it because H is home and we're heading to look at cars near my grandma and we may go to her place for dinner.

    3) I don't like that I don't consistently feel LO move yet. It freaks me out, a lot.

    4) I just realized if H gets the job, I need to find a new job. Ugh.

    5) My supervisor wants me to enroll in a program to gain my ABA Board certification by summer 2014. I have no idea if I want to do that as my career.

    6) I'm watching "The Joy of Painting" with Bob Ross and loving it and his happy little trees.

  • @sgautschi there is so much in your post that I want to push the love it button for but I certainly don't want to include #10. I am sorry you are stuck in that situation but try not to feel too guilty. You just can't plan the timing of these kinds of things.

    @ashleymatt1215 good luck to your DH withthe job! Also, I <3 Bob Ross!

  • @wiggy I guess I'm more sad than guilty, it's just hard to enjoy pregnancy with his health deteriorating so much. I have included him as much as I can though, so I know at the very least he's able to share that much with me. My cousin, the one I mentioned in my post, is also feeling the same way I am, since its her grandpa too, so at least I have her to talk to about it.

  • @sgautschi I am sorry about your grandpa, I am sure that he understands though. I know that he appreciates what you are doing to include him and make him feel special. That is what really counts.

  • @sgautschi GBQ said everything I was going to say. I am so sorry you guys are going through this. It must be really tough.

    1. My bra strap is so tight that I might have to leave work early because it is painful!
    2. I am so sick of drinking water (and I love water!)
    3. I love that NYC is having a Canadian summer (well not on weekends when I want to go in the pool)
    4. I can't decide between a nautical nursery or a vintage sports nursery.  Now, DH is insistent that we do both!!  Does he not get the concept of theme?
    5. I slept through the night last night for the first time in 3 nights.  Yay, I feel so refreshed!
    6. I really want soft serve Carvel ice cream and Crumbs cupcakes in my head, but when I get the opportunity to have it, I pass. Weird!

  • 1. Sgautschi- I am really sorry about your grandpa. That has to be really hard for you but I'm sure he understands! Also, I am glad the cysts went away on your cousins baby!! :)

    2. I had my follow up today and she just mentioned that I am going to start going in every week. Shit just got real!!

    3. I'm really scared about number 2!!

    4. We are finally getting DH his truck. Hopefully before Isis gets here.

    5. My pup has an ear infection and I need to get her seen by the vet ASAP.

    6. Because of number 5 she hasn't been sleeping at night and she keeps me up and I'm exhausted during the day.

    7. TMI- I miss my DH sexually. He is scared to do ST because I'm so pregnant!! But I miss our sex life.

    8. I can't shave and I hate it so much. DH tells me he will do it for me but I feel awkward.

    9. My feet are swollen.

    10. I'm sleepy
  • Bridget - I totally get it. My libido came back a few weeks ago, only to immediately go away again. :( I am already worried I'm not living up to my own expectations of being a wife as is, and LO isn't even here yet. I'm afraid were going to lose that chemistry for good. Gotta love these hormones...

    Also I can't believe how close you are! You better make sure you text me when she decides to come labor buddy! ;)

  • Oh I will text you no matter what. Lol!!

    I honestly miss him. We had a fun time for a while but I think I got to big and he panicked that he can hurt her or something. I just hope we can go back to our original sex life after she gets here.
