I'm so ready for our couch to be here. Sitting on insulation is officially old.
I had a dream last night that I pretty much forgot to pack for the trip to DR and I got there and didn't have any shorts or a bathing suit. My thinks I'll start packing now. 2 weeks isn't too far ahead, is it?
Nothing much today. We've got a workout scheduled, and then probably going to bed early.
How is everyone today?

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

Re: Good Morning!
I'm so tired today and can't wait for the weekend to be here. Busy day at work, which is good since that means it will probably go quickly. Had lunch with a friend, catching up after way to long, which was nice. She's moving closer to us, so hopefully we'll be able to meet up more often.

Good Morning!
Just work for me today, nothing over the top exciting.
We are getting more snow here, I am so ready for spring! There are so many things I want to get done outside and I am ready for the white stuff to be gone.
Have a great day!
Good morning! Trying to wake up with a half-caff drink and nursing my right foot; it started bugging me during last night's run. Everything's been going so well; I hope this isn't the beginning of an injury.
Tonight I'm talking with my little brother over Skype and making fish and roasted potatoes covered in guajillo sauce for dinner (awesome). Nothing too exciting, but it'll be a relaxing night.
Morning! Pretty typical day, work, tutoring, then off to Lowes to buy about $500 worth of paint. DH only has to work from 11:30-2:30 today, so he is (hopefully) going to get some work done around the house.
Have a good day ladies!
Good morning!
I seem to be finally over my cold but now I'm feeling kind of bad... our admin is sick now, and one of the kids at the birthday party I went to last weekend is also sick.

@ raynes - it's certainly not too early to make a list.
I had a total meltdown last night and now I am just wiped. I thought I was doing an ok job of keeping it together, but apparently not. Jim asked for a little help around the house, just to do the things that I used to do, like empty the dishwasher when I get home and I just lost it. Full on sobbing. I didn't realize how stressed out I am between work, my Mom, the baby we lost and the fear of that happening again, and Jim certainly didn't know. I just let it all out last night and I feel a bit...lighter this morning, if that makes sense.
On the plus side, today is my fake Friday. I hope the day goes by fast and by this time tomorrow, I'll be on the ground in Atlanta.

@ Reba - everyone needs a good cry once in a while. I hope your trip to Atlanta gives you a good reboot.
I'm wearing a new dress today, and I just now realized that one side of the crossover seems to keep opening. Hello bewbage! Oops. I think I'll have to take a safety pin/paper clip type thing to it soon.
DH and I have been fighting for bed time, as in we're both tired, but with animals in the house, we can't just crawl into bed at any time. Stupid animal schedules. I see a lot of napping and slumbering around the house in the near future. This weekend is supposed to be nasty rain and useless, so I think we'll try and catch up in between cleaning out our rooms to move them around.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
There is no school today or tomorrow because of a teachers convention. It's been snowing for the last 3 days and is showing no signs of slowing down. We have had records amounts of snow and record breaking cold snaps this winter so far. I'm so ready for winter to be over. I think I'll be just having a movie day with the boys today and cleaning my house. My friend is supposed to be coming over later on to put my extensions back in and I'm supposed to dye her hair for her.
And potty training has officially started today, this should be interesting. Izaac is going to be 2 this month and already hates wearing pull-ups and sits on the potty like 50 times a day. He doesn't actually go potty when he sits but he likes sitting on it so I'm kinda nervous and excited about it. Potty training is so not fun, when I potty trained Gibson he fell in the toilet head first and planted his teeth right through his bottom lip. Hopefully (fingers crossed) it will be easier this time around.
Good morning ladies! Not much going on over here except for work. My boss is starting to freak out about my maternity leave as if I'm leaving tomorrow and she's giving me a ton to do on top of all that I already have going on. The workload isn't a problem, I just wish she would relax instead of stressing me out too.
After work I need to run a few errands. Since DH has class tonight, I'll probably stop by my parents house to see what they have for dinner so that I won't have to cook just for myself. Other than that, it will be a low key day for me. Hope you all have a wonderful day.
Good afternoon!
Reba--hugs...and a good cry always makes me feel better. I feel like I break down every couple of months, even when nothing is really going and then feel so much better. (Hmm, perhaps I bury my stress??)
Thank goodness we only have one more day this week. The week has actually flown by, but each day seems like it is dragging as it goes.
Today was good. I actually had a great last period class (they have been my trouble class lately), so I left school feeling good rather than frustrated today! My legs are killing me though and I'm not sure why. I am thinking it is because I ran outside for the first time in ages earlier this week on a rather hilly course and my legs have gotten out of practice at hills. But whatever, I am resting today so I can get up early to get my run in tomorrow before school since we have a party tomorrow night.
Other than the party tomorrow night, this weekend should be pretty laid back, so I am psyched about that.

Good evening!
I'm an exhausted today. Working 8 hours at one job and then 4 hours at another (with 2 hours of driving) yesterday really wiped me out. I have to do that once more in a few weeks and I'm not looking forward to it.
Now, I'm just making up some soup for dinner before I head out for RCIA.
I got my April schedule today and now I know I can run a 5km race and a half marathon so I'm really psyched. Now I just need to step up my training.
