it's hump day! let's hear your highlights (and low-lights) so far.
yeah, i know i sound pollyanna-ish, but come on - the board has been D-E-D.
high: i've had fun watching the teen and the hub bond over their tennis-playing this week. they're both sore as all hell, but having a blast doing it. it's cute.
low: the week is flying by - too fast for me. the weeks with the teen always go by quickly, but the ones without her drag and i'm always so sad when she leaves on fridays.
GO!

Re: it's hump day! let's hear your highlights (and low-lights) so far.
High - tater tot casserole!
Low - work is dragging this week. Stupid time change. I'm so swamped at work that I'm not being productive, if that makes sense.
Yay, fun poll!!
High: Baby room is finally painted, yay! (yes, it took us a month to paint one wall) I have a super awesome friend who is giving me a ton of her sister's old baby gear. Sooo awesome, it's totally going to save us a ton of money. I'm super excited. Oh, and I'm counting down the days till spring break aka, my MI trip, yay!
Low: I think this pregnancy is giving me a permanant cold. My nose has been super stuffy forever. We're freaking out at the cost of childcare. :-/ I'm back to being super tired and taking afternoon naps.
High: I hit 15 weeks pregnant and I finally feel GREAT! The IL's went home, and I have my time back to myself...woot!
Low: this time change is giving me some weird sleep patterns and that means I am not sleeping too much
Peeeectures when you're done, please!
High: getting Friday off for Big Bear. I can't wait!
Low: not very productive at work. I got hung up on twice this morning. Yaaaaaay.
High: (1) starting to make some progress towards having this baby, (2) finding out we're getting much more back from the fed. govt. than we originally thought, (3) only gaining 1 lb. at my appt. yesterday, despite all the gs cookies I've been enjoying
Low: (1) being told by my OB that I'm working too much and need to cut back my hours or she will pull me out of work earlier than I would like. While this may seem like a good thing, I have a million things at work I'd like to do before baby arrives, and am trying to not go on maternity leave until April 1.
Low: Work is chaos. Organized chaos, but nevertheless enough to keep me up/busy at night.

High: Working from home today. DH is going to be gone tonight so I have the house to myself all day and night.
Low: Feeling like a fat ass.
Low: I have had allergy issues for the past two weeks and I cannot remember it being this bad in over 10 years. I feel like some one has punched me in the nose repeatedly and my eyes itch like crazy.
This board has been pretty dead lately!
High - I've been busy with work and I'm learning a lot these days, and I'm starting a new volunteer job.
Low - My insomnia is really bad this week and it's exhausting.
High: I don't know yet :-
Low: Got bamboozled at novel workshop last night. I now have until TONIGHT to get my writing sent out to my class for judgment and criticism. :- I was supposed to have an extra week, and I don't feel ready. Blah. I'm soooo nervous about this. Esp. because the ones from last class were soooo good.
Highs: I've lost three pounds and I have Friday off, so I'm *that* much closer to the weekend. And H has been super helpful around the house.
Lows: The time change is killing me. I am so freakin' tired.
High: Did some much, much needed shopping for some new color in my wardrobe. Bring on the pinks and greens and oranges for Spring! Weee! Getting my hair did today AND we have 7 baby puppies at the shelter I get to play with today.
Low: I'm a fatass and I'm tired as feck all the time.
High: I will have to get back to you on that one.
Low: Along with everyone else I feel all out of whack with the time change. When it's time to go to bed, me and DH are not tired, and then when the alarm goes off we can't get out of bed. Hoping we adjust soon!
I thought I mistakenly went over to the bump with those first few posts.
high: work today is better than the past few days. I think the time change made people extra grumpy. not fun.
low: my pants are feeling snug, yet I have zero motivation to do anything about it. and my sinuses are freaking out again, but it's my own damn fault because I don't like taking the med that makes me feel better - it gives me the worst dry mouth. blech.
high: making it to the gym twice and feeling that "good sore" you get after an intense workout. making a kickass dinner of gnocchi with pesto, shrimp and asparagus for dinner. it was sooo yummy!
low: the time change. my internal clock is all kinds of wacky right now. blech.
High - I have 2. My mom has finally finished her chemo treatments! Yay!! My younger son is feeling much better and has gained his appetite again.
Low - Too many and too depressing.
High -- we're almost all moved with no major catastrophes. My sister arrives tomorrow night to visit for a week.
Low -- this week confirmed I'm going to need to apply to a whole new slew of grad programs next year. And this is really petty, but we can't find rugs, shelves, or a coffee table we like and I'm entirely frustrated.
High - Boss lady's birthday was yesterday, so we got yummy sandwiches and Costco sheet cake. Today I didn't have to be receptionist all day.
Low - DH has been sick and I think I'm starting to get what he has. I had to be the full-time receptionist (on top of my real job) for a few days. Man does that suck.
High: Tubes are clear!
Low: Work is getting scary
Chart/Blog
Nothing breeds faster than Crazy
High: There are only two more days left in this workweek.
High: I presented my master's thesis last night and got an A
Low: After devoting most of my waking hours over the last 6 months to my statistical research project, my house looks like a bomb went off! I'll be spending the rest of the week cleaning.
Low: I've been super sick for almost a week now.
High: ditto wemo...almost friday.
Even though I'm late with this, ditto.
