Re: Ten Things Tuesday

  • 1. Ava Nichol and I slept until 9:30 this morning. I feel fully rested and like half the day is gone already.

    2. The birthday party is this Sunday! Luckily I am mostly ready for it. So much to do this weekend.

    3. Why can't people just RSVP? It is like people around here are afraid to say no. I just want an accurate count for the party and don't really care if you have other plans.

    4. I just hope we have enough food for everybody.

    5. Ava Nichol just went through a word boom. Suddenly she has like 30 new words and is trying to have conversations with us. Ilove it :)

    6. I am hungry but we have like nnothing for breakfast. Luckily this week is grocery shopping week.

    7. I tried to sell some stuff to the consignment shop. It did not go well. They wanted to give me $12 for my infant seat so I kept it. I would rather give it away to somebody that needs it or can trade it in. I got $10 for her walker. They wouldn't take her play mat, wipes warmer, or bath seat.

    8. I am having a huge yard sale this summer so I will just sell the stuff myself. I am hoping this yard sale goes better than the last one we had. We didn't really have anything valuable last time plus no baby stuff.

    9. Also, last yard sale my brother and I got attacked by bees and I got stung by a dirty bee and got a staph infection.

    10. I feel bad not helping my mom clean her house for the party but I am not much help with Ava Nichol here. She just destroys everything as we go.

  • 1.  I am so excited to get my maternity pics back!

    2.  We had our first childbirth (of four) last night.

    3.  I know DH doesn't want to be there, but I wish he would stop making it so obvious.  Just go to support me!

    4.  I have a weak stomach and almost passed out...even though they weren't talking about anything particularly bad.

    5.  I think the sugar I had and the fact that it was hot didn't help.

    6.  My shower is this Sunday!!

    7.  I am really excited :-D

    8.  I am trying really hard to be productive at work today, but it is hard.

    9.  I love that it is supposed to be 80 here today.

    10.  My travel system finally came in from Zulily!  It actually came pretty quickly.

  • 1. Why does this place always insist on putting the pickle ON TOP of my sweet potato wedges? It's a good thing I'm obsessed with this sandwich and can deal with not eating one or two sweet potatoes. 

    2. I was up from 3 - 5 AM again last night. WTF, baby?

    3. I just got an email from the seller's realtor saying they want to close early. Yeah, we do too; you knew this. How about you tell your clients to stop taking 3-5 days to sign and return paperwork? We're not the ones holding up the process, jackwagon!

    4. The thought of moving again makes me want to have a panic attack. I've moved 3 times in the past 3 years. Hopefully this will be it for at least 5 years. Plus, DH is amazing and I can pull the P-card, so it should be slightly easier.

    5. I can't stop thinking about my BFF, who had her baby just around 24 weeks. I'll be 24 weeks on Thursday. There's no way in hell I'm ready for this baby yet and the thought that happening (even though I know it's unlikely) terrifies me. 

    6. I'm getting really sick of my boss giving me work because she's "not sure who else to give it to" or because the girl whose job it really is is too busy. Really? I'm busy too! I just know how to manage my time and get stuff done. And heaven forbid you learn how to send a certified letter yourself. I'm not your assistant!

    7. I'm full of whine today; sorry about that!

    8. I have to work late today. Not because I have work to do, but because we have dinner reservations for my step son's birthday and it's two doors down from my office, so there's no point in going home.

    9. Cake tonight!

    10. I would love nothing more than to take a nap right about now.

  • 1. i'm so frustrated with work

    2. i'm an emotional eater and stopped for a medium french fries on my way back from a terrible meeting

    3. I want to go home and curl up in a ball and sleep

    4. I think I need to look for a new job while on maternity leave

    5. I'm clearly having a bad day.

    6. i'm going to paint our hall bathroom tonight when I get home from work and hopefully let off some steam

    7. and then i'm going to curl up in a ball and sleep

    8. I need to do wash but our washer and dryer were moved out of the laundry room to install new tile.  my H needs to get the baseboard installed so I can clean some clothes! not that I want to do laundry.

  • 1) I'm ready for little girl to come.  Any day now, sweetheart...sooner rather than later would be nice!

    2) The lightning crotch and baby contractions suck.  The first is just sharp painful stabbing and the second, well, I can't even tell sometimes what's what and I have no clue what's going on.

    3) I'm grateful that I'm having an NST tomorrow - if I AM having contractions, it should pick them up and help clue me in.

    4) I have to teach a lesson later that I don't know if I feel comfortable teaching.  I went to the middle school musical last Friday at the school I was excessed from since the kids begged and while this dad has always been awkward, he came up to me, put his arms around me and my belly and wouldn't let go, and I felt (and still feel) violated.  The only way that I got away is that another parent (who I work with this year, and who has become a friend), was able to pull me away and "help" me back to my seat.  The vocal competition that we've been working towards is in 2 weeks and I won't abandon the kid before then, but it's made me uncomfortable enough that I don't know that I want to continue working with the child.

    5) It's cold here.  I want it to be warmer so I can sit outside and read on my deck and fight through the boredom.

    6) Ugh...contraction...

    7) I was supposed to go out yesterday and get a mani/pedi and pizza.  Still hasn't happened.  Probably won't now until Thursday - but at least it will be over 50 degrees by then!

    8) I am officially obsessed with Pentatonix.

    9) We went out to dinner with my dad and stepmom last night because dad's birthday is today.  Stepmom asked if there was a pool going on baby's name yet, I said not that I know of.  She said I have two guesses - and one of them was right!  Holy crap!  I responded with oh, so one traditional and one modern, to cover it, but damn!  That's now two people who have correctly guessed little girl's name - and i KNOW I haven't said the name in front of them - all they had to go on was the letter because they know we're naming for my grandmother!!!

    10) Make the stabbiness down there stop...

  • Pentatonix is an a cappella group that won The Sing Off in 2011.  They take contemporary music and create AMAZING a cappella versions of them, which is incredible considering they are a 5 person group.  Search for them on YouTube - their latest release is "Say Something" but I am obsessed with their arrangement of "Can't Hold Us."

  • 1. Things are starting to hurt... I'm hoping it's just because of a big growth spurt and once things level off again I'll go back to being in the comfortable 2nd tri phase! 

    2. We left a St. Patty's dinner potluck early last night because I was so uncomfortable :(

    3. DH has been very negative about his job lately and I finally asked him if he'd rather look for a new job (he has his masters in his field and spent 8 years and thousands of dollars on it, so I sure hoped he didn't). I just wanted him to reassess his attitude because I was getting worn down from the negative atmosphere we've had in our house the last couple of weeks that he's had to work OT. He's so burnt out. He said he'd try not to be as negative, though.

    4. Uh. Sorry #3 got so long!

    5. Is it really only Tuesday??

    6. I need to look for a good prenatal yoga class, but keep forgetting!

    7. I'm already looking forward to the Reuben sandwich I'm having for dinner tonight :)

    8. I got a lot done at work yesterday, but am back to procrastinating again today... 

    9. Two days until spring!!

    10. I'm actually wearing an Easter dress this year, something I always wanted growing up but we could never afford... it's a little silly but I'm looking forward to it!

  • 1. I am so ready for this day to be over.

    2. I'm back to eating healthy again to see if this is what's causing my sluggishness.

    3. I really hope that this is the case and not my ITP.

    4. I'm looking forward to dinner tonight. I'm making tacos!

    5. I'm going to make a healthy salad to go with it.

    6. I have sciatic pain and it hurts. Every. damn. day.

    7. I'm also going to walk on the treadmill tonight for 30 minutes.

    8. I really hope I stick to this new plan.

    9. The document I'm working on is a PITA. The stupid outline numbers keep changing and deleting when I save it. UGH!

    10. I'm hoping that walking on the treadmill tonight will help get me motivated to keep the house clean. I'm slacking on the dishes and folding laundry department.

    11. I think I've been feeling baby move! I know its not gas because its in a low spot. How I miss this feeling!

  • @smbenevides1989 You can do this! Yay for healthy eating and light exercise :) I hope that your plan helps you feel better and it is not the ITP.

  • I'm so proud of myself. I ate well, made a salad for today's lunch, and walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes! I definitely feel better so far today, and it's only 9:43 here. I'm hoping that this feeling will continue into tonight!
