I'm slacking today, at least here. I would prefer that it was Friday instead of Wednesday. That about sums up how I'm feeling today.
I did, however, make some good strides on our Christmas cards last night.
How is everyone today?

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

Re: Good Morning!
Good morning, ladies. I'm at work for a couple of hours, then reporting for jury duty. We have a one day/one trial system, so I should know this morning if I make a jury or not.
Have a great day, everyone!
Good morning! Today we're doing an agency-wide presentation on our South Pacific outreach, wish us luck! I put together a presentation that my colleagues love, so hopefully it'll go smoothly.
Other than that, just another day. Managed to get myself to the gym last night to have a very good run, and then just read until it was time to sleep. I should think about getting my Christmas shopping started, too.
Good morning!
I just came back from my first ultrasound - squee! All is well. Will update later.

It really feels like it should be Friday already. This week is totally dragging.
On the positive side, we got our Christmas cards done and put in the mail this morning. Yay!
On the other hand, I woke up this morning with a sore throat that just seems to be getting worse. Since it's my birthday tomorrow and we're going to Vienna this weekend, now is not the best time to get sick.
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
I'm off today but have lots to do. Hoping to try and get a run in today and hoping my hip doesn't hurt =(
I WILL get my SS gift out in the mail today. It's on my to-do list so it has to get done. I also want to go looking for some gift ideas for my niece and nephew.
Otherwise I'm going to try and just have an easy day because I'm feeling pretty exhausted.
Good Morning,
Just working today and this evening I am going to " A Christmas Carol" with my mother and father in law, which I am looking forward to. Not to much planned. Totally looking forward to your ultra-sound update ringy!
Morning Ladies. I have to agree that this week is dragging so bad. I really wish it was Friday already.
I have one meeting today, and a waxing appointment later. I can't wait as my brows are totally overdue. Otherwise I am not being very productive, I am searching e-bay and bidding on the boys formula as my supply is finally low. I am hoping to win at no more then $15 a can vs paying $26 a can at Walmart.
Zumba was great lastnight, and my legs are killing me. It was well worth it though.
Ok off to try to get focused, I should get some work done. Have a great day ladies.
Good Morning!
Christmas cards went out this morning, yay!
Should be a normal day around here and hoping to get out of here a bit early but we'll see. I need to stop by the post office too and get my nestie gift out, I suck this year.

I'm here. I need to try and get through the giant pile of crap on my desk then it's home to wrap up my secret santa and hopefully get it in the mail in the morning. I also need to get our Christmas cards done and out and submit a final for one of my classes. Looks like it's going to be a long day.
I also wish it was Friday!
Today DH and I are getting memorial tattoos for the babies. I'll post pictures after we get home. Shout out to Mandee for helping me finalize the design.
I met with my therapist today, and I'm going to start seeing her 2xs a week now, I'm hoping that will help more.
Today is a pretty rough day, but I'm learning that it's OK not to be myself yet.
I'm totally in limbo this week. There's too much waiting around for things to happen. Bleh.
Today I am anxiously awaiting a call from the car dealership so I can go pick up my new toy. Hopefully I don't have to call them and then wait until tomorrow.
I get to babysit for a good friend tonight, and I think DH will be joining me. I figure a little practice for him can't hurt, right?
Big AW for DH last night. I was super exhausted, but we had cookie dough that I had made and was letting cool. I got way too tired the night I made the dough, so he rolled it all out for me last night, and then proceeded to help me decorate most of them. Very cute.
*edited for inappropriate cookies*
I'm sorry for the first part, but I'm happy for the second. No one expects you to magically wake up and get over this. And if they do, they're idiots.
I was watching something about Elizabeth Edwards last night, and there was a clip of her comparing the loss of her son with losing a leg. Except, she pointed out, with a leg, no one comes up and asks you "Are you over losing your leg yet?" Because obviously, when you lose a limb, that's something you never get over; it's something you just learn to deal with. Her point was that there is no difference between the pain of losing a limb and losing a child. The only difference is how other people approach your pain, and how they try to impose their expectations of how to manage it on to you.

Good morning! I don't have anything exciting going on at work today, so I'm sure the day will drag.
Today is J's birthday! We're going out for dinner at an Italian place with his parents tonight. Yum!
kaesha* You always find just the right things to say, and it's not even something geared towards me. Well put.
MO* I think the tattoo is a great idea. I hope that your therapy sessions are helping. Things take time, and don't feel bad for taking all the time that is right for you.
