Good Things Monday
It's Monday and it sucks. I need one of these posts. Name three good things going on in your life right now.
My favorite place on earth: The Amargosa Valley.
Re: Good Things Monday
1. We got a lot of stuff done this weekend, including planting my flower garden, fixing the sprinklers and dh fixed the lights out by the road.
2. My husband really loves me a lot.
3. The peonies in my garden make me extremely happy.
1. Despite planning at the last minute because I suck, I pulled off a pretty nice day of surprise birthday activities for DH's birthday on Saturday and I think he really enjoyed it.
2. MIL's recently diagnosed lung cancer seems to be responding really well to chemo and radiation (I haven't really mentioned her diagnosis on the boards, but happy to take any good thoughts you might have for her!).
3. It was finally warm and sunny here yesterday, and temps are supposed to be really nice this week! I really, really needed this after the crazy winter and bleak spring we've had so far.
1. We're going to Minnesota this weekend to visit friends.
2. We're going to CA in 3 weeks!
3. I'm having fun plotting T's surprise party.
1. We just found out we are PREGNANT!
2. See above
3. I have today off and I plan to sleep/rest all day
4. Bad thing: DH doesn't want to tell our parents until we have our first ultrasound ( i totally understand but I am a terrible secret keeper) so I have to keep my lips buttoned for the next few weeks. Wish me luck
Have a wonderful monday ladies!
1. In an effort to become better at managing my time and getting more stuff done in my life, I've decided to implement a regular wake-up time every morning no matter what. This weekend was kind of a test, since I really wanted to sleep in. But after a few days of this, I'm finding it easier and easier to get up in the morning and get going, and feel like I'm getting a lot more done. I love it.
2. I got to see a childhood friend this past weekend who I haven't seen for years. She finally got to meet DH and I got to meet her longtime boyfriend. I've known this girl since 4th grade and it was so good to catch up with her while she was visiting.
3. I made the first "summery" pie of the season this weekend - strawberry rhubarb. It turned out amazing and totally made me feel like summer is just around the corner (even though it's raining today...)
RoxysMama...Big Congrats and H&H 9 months to you!!! Hang in there with the buttoned lips, it's hard.
1. DH and I are getting away to Seattle next weekend, just the two of us.
2. My big button lipped secret (not about me, but a family member who confided in me) will be over shortly and I can exhale without worrying about slipping up.
3. School starts back up Wednesday....amen for our regular schedule again.
1. It's almost time for my 2 week vacation.
2. I had a great Easter weekend with friends / family.
3. My current favorite song is playing on pandora right now.
1. I got to spend time with my family for Easter and it was glorious
2. Our weekend getaway was much needed.
3. It is a short work week for me!
I had the weekend from he!!, so I definitely need this post!
1. I have the best dogs. While I was sad and sobbing on the couch all weekend, I had my two best pals curled up on either side of me. And when I started crying again, they would lick my face. Evidently, my tears are delicious.
2. I have the best DH ever. He was especially attentive and even COOKED for me. Granted, I was directing him on the couch, but he totally did it!
3. The legal bullsh!t we've been going through for the last year and a half seems to be turning our way. Hopefully, this will be resolved sooner rather than later!
1. God
2. Family
3. Good health.
Congrats Roxysmama!
1) Feeling baby kicks like they're going out of style today. Hiya!
2) T has started adding "so much" to his "I love you" texts (so, "I love you so much") and it makes me melty. Those extra 7 characters in the text make me feel extra super special.
3) Mondays fly by...I can't believe it's already 11!
4) One more - kitchen cabinets got one step closer to done this weekend. Our entire kitchen is still in our living room, but we're cloooooser!!...
1. Our nephews are here for a week! (H's side of the family, we haven't seen them since end of August and MIL kept this secret from us for a few weeks). Hoping we can see them a few times this week.
2. Despite the fact that DH and I had a fight last night (wasn't the first time this subject was brought up either), we made up and I still love him to pieces and am in love with him.
3. only 3 hours left and I get to go home!
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
1. Went to a college friend's bridal shower on Saturday and my sorority friends surprised me with our stroller - Baby Jogger City Mini - since none of them will be able to make it to my shower. It was a fantastic (and generous!) surprise.
2. Had my family over for a bbq yesterday for Easter and my mom brought the most delicious fruit tart. I think I'm going to have a slice for lunch. Yum!
3. I think I've found a cure for my acid reflux: post-dinner strawberry milkshakes.
sending ALL the good thoughts i have. my boss was diagnosed with the same thing very recently. i believe last week was his last round of chemo, seeing what he's gone through. man. it just sucks..like bad.
