How is everyone today?
My night was fairly uneventful. I creeped around on FB for a while and then made Derek start a workout. He quit part way in, but I kept at it. After the break of a week it was nice to pump some iron again. Then I made a meatloaf for my lunches for the rest of the week and got a little bit caught on up Top Chef. Our poor PVR is just packed full!
Tonight I expect to get caught up on a bit more TV and probably clean the house up a bit.

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

Re: Good Morning!
Good morning!
My evening was also uneventful. We ran a few errands before coming home from work and then started unpacking the den/office/future playroom downstairs. I'm really looking forward to being fully unpacked! Tonight will probably be quite similar.
Have a great day ladies!

Morning ladies.
My night was also uneventful. DH and I installed the convertible car seats in his car. They fit, but not much space. I can't wait to get my minivan next month so we have more room.
I am getting sick AGAIN! Ugh, I really need Spring and cold season to go away. So I am thinking there will be no Zumba for me tonight. Just when I think I can go back, bam another freaking cold. Seriously I am over winter and everything that goes along with it.
Back to the grind. Have a great day ladies.
Morning! My evening was also uneventful. After giving Maggie a bath to get the olive oil off, we prepped the guest room for sanding/spackling/painting.
Tonight we have our first softball game, and I am a little nervous. I have not touched a bat or ball since last summer. Should be an interesting game...
Morning, all. Yesterday was the third session of our kid/counseling thing. While it's been great to talk about, we're still not sure we're making progress towards a decision. We can't even see how we get to yes or no or even "let's put this off for a year."
After that, we went to a restaurant called Zengo--Latin/Asian fusion place with small plates. DC ladies, I recommend it! We dissected our session there, then went home to relax.
Today at work we're celebrating a person's birthday. At home, we're off to the gym to work out and do an author meet and greet with Sarah Pekannen; I haven't read her books, but it seems like a good gym event (apparently she's a member of our gym, which is cool). We'll buy her latest. Anyone read her stuff? Good?
Last night was kinda lame, I had class. I was a little bummed about things not working out yesterday, but at least I know we're being considered.
Today I have to finish my paperwork for being out for the rest of the school year. After the surgery going wrong, I just can't anymore and my therapist suggested to take some time off. When I went to HR yesterday they were awesome about it, so I hope the paperwork gets settled quickly.
Good morning! I worked late yesterday evening so when I got home I just picked up the house, made dinner and watched a little tv.
I woke up this morning to snow, yuck! I'm so ready for summer! No big plans for today just same ol' same ol'. Have a great day ladies!
Good morning, ladies.
It's snowing again, and DH's birthday. Not much planned - we grilled some steaks on Sunday and finished the leftovers last night.
Have a great day, everyone!
Good morning!
Last night was kind of a bummer night - I took Lily to the vet. She's been peeing on my hardwood floors... generally it's right outside the litter box. I used to think it was behavioral, but she's been acting kinda weird lately, so I was thinking she may have a UTI or crystals in her urine. She also has a slight heart murmur, so I wanted that to be looked at as well. They ended up keeping her overnight so that they could get a urine sample (ironically, her bladder was empty) and they will also be testing her blood for signs of diabetes. Keeping my fingers crossed that there's nothing seriously wrong!
Oh, and my dear friend AF reared her ugly asss head this morning. so helloooooo CD1!
we're going to the Caps game tonight though, so that kinda makes up for the crappy evening/morning!

I got in a semi-nap last night while DH was at his bowling league. Tonight I'll probably do the same. It seems like actual night time sleeping isn't going so well anymore.
This morning I woke up with insance cramping in my stomach. I think my IBS attacked with a vengeance. Now I'm at work and wishing the sunshine outside actually meant it was warm out. Hurry up spring!
Mornin'
I'm sick so I would like to go home and sleep. I went home a few minutes early yesterday hopped in bed and stayed there until this morning. The changes in weather here aren't helping matters. Ugh.
Today I hope to go home and continue resting.
Last night was the same old same old.
This morning I had a monitoring visit and will either trigger tonight or tomorrow and have IUI #4 later this week. I have one rock star follie at 19 and the next one is at 14. I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor if they want to wait a day to see if the 14 catches up.
Other than that, it's just work, work, work, while I try to catch up from being gone last week.

Today is decision day for Ben's University. I am quite nervous but I'm praying they make the right decision.
Last night I had an awful sleep. I am really hoping today is less tiring and I am able to relax some. Today I am going to be taking my first yoga class. I've never taken yoga before so I am really looking forward to it today. My doctor told me it would be really good for me to do because of my asthma.
Mandee- I'll be keeping your little cat in my thoughts. Hopefully they are able to help her and everything is easily resolved.
Last night we did our usual - we go to our friends' house to watch Breaking Bad. We only have one more episode left in season 2.
No work for me today since I worked this past Sunday and I work the whole upcoming weekend. I did some nice sleep talking last night so I must be feeling stressed out.
Now, I'm just waiting for it to warm up more outside so I can get in an 11 miler. In the meantime, I'll just clean and nest.
Have a good day.
Last night we delivered some beef and then went out to dinner while we were in town. Dinner was amazing. After that we watched a show on the DVR and went to bed. Tonight, no major plans. Have a good day, ladies!
Good Morning!
Last night was marriage counseling session number 1. I was very impressed me and dh talked and cried together. I was not feeling 100% confident that we both wanted to work things out, but after last night I am pretty confident. I am excited about this new journey and I can't wait to have my marriage back.
Crystal-Glad the session went well...
My day/whole week has been pretty lousy. I am taking tomorrow off...my patience is just shot right now--my kids have been obnoxious lately and I need a day so that I can renew my energy and be a good teacher again. The last couple of weeks I just haven't been very tolerant of the itchy or lazy behavior...
Oh, and then on top of my low tolerance and feeling burnt out, one of my coworkers told me she was pregnant today. I am thrilled for her, but was totally not expecting it. I have been preparing myself for two other coworkers who I know have been trying, but this was a coworker I didn't know was trying and it apparently happened really fast. She knows we've been trying for awhile, so she was really sweet about telling me, but it sort of sent me reeling for the day...especially since we just scheduled a meeting to talk to our doctor about starting testing...blah.
DH is taking me out to dinner tonight though, and hopefully between that and taking tomorrow off, I will turn the week around and end on a high note...
