Ten Things Tuesday
1. I'm still in my pajamas
2. Not gonna' lie, I probably will be all day.
3. Our big ultrasound is in 17 days and I'm clearly very excited 
4. I'm hoping that my Dr. will give me an ultrasound tomorrow at my post-op. appt. to check on the baby, but I seriously doubt that she will.
5. The thought "is it even Tuesday?" just crossed my mind.
6. I'm really thankful that it's sunny outside today!
7. DH's schedule is changing again next month and I'm really not happy about it. I'm doing my best not to complain about it since he can't do anything about it, but it really sucks.
8. Emma has been so adorable this past week, helping take care of me because my "tummy hurts".
9. Even though I'd like to keep our name choices a secret until the baby is born, I know that I'll have absolutely no willpower and will spill the beans to pretty much everyone.
10. I taped some movie about "Will and Kate" the other night and I'm actually kinda' looking forward to watching it even thought I really don't care so much about the wedding/etc. 
Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1. My head feels like it's going to explode
2. I've been playing Words With Friends for the past half hour
3. I would LOVE a nap right about now
4. I'm semi worried about this potential tornado today - mainly because I'm not with Dayne to protect him.
5. I am nervous about telling my boss I need to leave early next week for an eye appointment and then early again the following week for Dayne's well baby visit.
6. Dayne is going to get shots at this next visit and I'm dreading it.
7. I need to bring our cat in for her annual vet visit and I'm dreading it - she sounds like someone is murdering her when she's in her carrier.
8. I need to get my hair cut & colored badly - I'm on a waiting list for my stylist. Lovely.
9. I'm going to attempt to fit into my "bigger" pre pregnancy jeans after work and see what happens.
10. I need to go get lunch.
1. Now that I have the basement cleared out and a play area for Gabe, I am setting up our old tv so he can watch Bah (Baby Einstein in the words of Gabe) while I craft.
2. I totally use the tv as a babysitter to get stuff done around the house.
3. I'm pretty sure I separated my shoulder yesterday, but am refusing to go to the doc.
4. Gabe's birthday invites are being delivered tomorrow.
5. I'm so excited for warm weather.
6. I donated 12 garbage bags of my clothes and shoes and it doesn't even look like I made a dent in my room.
7. I don't need any new clothes, but yet I keep buying...
8. Even though our tub leaking is a huge pain in the neck, it means I get a whole new tub faucet & shower head since we have to bust down part of the wall to fix it anyways.
9. I secretly hate that Gabe eats table foods now because it means I actually have to cook.
10. Gabe choked on a banana on Saturday and I had to whack him on the back. He laughed, I cried.

3. I have a new addiction to Pinterest.
4. H wants to buy me a nice purse for Mother's Day but I don't know what I want and don't want him to spend the $ if I'm not in love with it. This stresses me more than it maybe should.

3. I really need to cook more often. We have pizza WAY too much.
4. We found out it will cost 1000 dollars (at least) for a plane ticket to Europe... not sure that is going to happen afterall.

3. i don't capitalize the letter i when i type unless it is for business.
4. i'm hungry but have no idea what i am going to eat for lunch.

7. the people in my office are driving me crazy. i wish i had a door to shut.
8. i took my nephews to the egg drop in Hartland this weekend and it was so sad. i feel bad complaining about it because a church put it on, but it's still bothering me a little.
9. I had a glass of wine last night. mmmm.
10. i wish there were more hours in the day, specifically the part of the day where i am not at work.

7. #6 is all for selfish reasons.
8. I wish I would have taken this whole week off.
9. I still get sad/upset when I leave DD in the morning.
10. I am already sick of all the royal wedding madness. Screw the royal wedding... it's my "royal birthday"
1. DH brought home Carabas last night for me as a surprise, it made me feel icky after and I felt bad for telling him.
2. I still feel icky/sick today
3. I totally still try to hide my bump, there may be something wrong with me, I just hate the attention.
4. I brought lunch but am going out for something anyway.
5. 5 minutes after I got to work EMS showed up for a possible heart attack/stroke that our service manager may have had
6. I told dh near the end of this pregnancy I am having a glass of wine and he said "no I don't think you are" all matter of fact. HA!!

8. I just finished reading "The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" and loved it so much!
9. I'm hoping to go see Water for Elephants this week
10. I wish I could stay home and enjoy the storms today.
1. I am hoping if we get storms today, it happens while we are at work. Our one dog bugs out so much, it will be nice to not have to try to console her in the middle of the night like last week. I am a bad dog mom.
2. I cannot wait to go on maternity leave. I desperately need a break from work.
3. I am scared to wash the baby clothes, bedding, etc. because it will seem a smidge too real.
4. I got super cranky after my doctor's appointment yesterday because when I asked to see if she could make a best guess as to which body part was where at that time, she just said nope too early and gave me my sheet to come back in two weeks. These 2 second appointments are starting to annoy me.
5. I slipped and fell walking into Jimmy Johns yesterday and was more embarrased then anything. People that were eating inside saw and just stared at me when I walked in. I got into my car and cried the whole way home.
6. I hate having to think of any sort of gift for MIL for Mothers Day/birthday/etc. and don't even get me started when DH asks me to pick up a card on top of a gift.
7. Our office area is getting muggy and my co-workers complained when I put the air on. That annoyed me.
8. Generally, I get annoyed very easily these days.
9. I have watched some sort of William and Kate special every night this week. Nerd alert is on an all time high according to DH.
10. I am considering going to Achatz pies sometime this week and picking up a few slices for myself. The pie I got for easter was so freaking good. I could eat a slice every day from now until June 9.
1. I went to my first yoga class yesterday
2. It was nice to meet other pg women in the area, but I gotta say it wasn't the workout I was expecting.
3. One thing I forgot to add to my SMIL post: During her blowup with DH she mentioned her wedding gift to us. DH retorted back that it kinda sucked - two small pieces of luggage w/ no tags (i.e. not new) that smelled like their dogs and was wrapped in black trash bags.
4. Re #3, SMIL said that we should just give them back, then. And DH packed them in his car this morning to return. It just keeps getting better.
5. My boss is going out of town for the rest of the week. I'll have to try really hard to keep on task while he's gone.
6. I think I might 'come out' on facebook this week. It will actually be my first status update (I've had facebook for over two years, but have never posted).
7. DH only has two classes (final exams) left before he's officially done with school!
8. We have stuff going on I think every weekend for the next two months, at least, and its exhausting just thinking about it.
9. Last week my dad joked that he is going to call my OB after the 20 week appt to find out what we're having. This team green thing is killing him.
10. I'm out of things today.
1. It's warmer outside than it is in my house. I just opened the sliding door.
2. Cam is making smacking noises with his mouth. This is new.
3. We have let Gibson sleep in our bed ever since he was house broken. We got new bedding and kicked him out. Last night was the 2nd night in a row that he hasn't even attempted to get in our bed. I'm impressed.
4. I really want Wendys for lunch, but it looks like leftovers from last night it is.
5. I need to brush my teeth and run some errands.
6. I finally feel like I have a hold of the housework again.
7. Carl is getting a haircut today. I miss his longer hair.
8. I have 3 more lbs to lose. I don't really care about them though.
9. I'm ready to plan a vacation.
10. I miss spicy food.
My Happy House
1. I too am still in my pajama's and will be all day.
2. Dylan is now able to use a fork, after only a day of training.
3. I was able to lay with Summer and close my eyes while she napped for 20 min's and Dylan took a nap. It was relaaaaxing.
4. I want DH to get off already so we can watch "Bethanny Ever After" and "Pawn Stars". I might just watch them without him.
5. I think I'm going to drink a Blue Moon tonight.
6. I'm going to Schoolcrafts graduation ceremony this Saturday night, but only for the after ceremony dinner and drinks.
7. I hate that Dylan walks whenever he feels like it. He can do it, but he chooses to do it whenever he wants.
8. I've been lazy and haven't cooked dinner in I don't know how long.
9. I currently am watching "The Cat in the Hat Knows a lot About That."
10. I donated two large garbage bags of clothes to Salvation Army this morning and only because they came to our street with a truck. Otherwise I wait until the last minute at the end of the year to donate.
1. I'm eating green beans from Easter with a spoon right now... It's not really working for me...
2. My little brother graduates from college this weekend, I'm so proud of him!!!
3. It also makes me feel super old....
4. I love this time of the year, because all of the students are leaving Ann Arbor and it means that all of us that are here year round get better parking spots...
5. We're throwing a goodbye party for all of our students in my office tomorrow... I'm excited more for the cake than I am for the students...
6. I am super proud of all of our students though, they are headed off to do amazing things! (But I'm really excited for the cake...)
7. The fact that all of our students are doing awesome things kind of makes me feel like a slacker...
8. I am debating between going out for hamburgers for dinner, or going the healthy route and eating our grilled chicken leftovers.
9. I'm craving a bacon and blue cheese burger... I'm leaning towards the burgers for dinner...
10. We need to mow our lawn really bad, but we don't have a lawn mower yet... I guess I'll add that to the list of things we need to buy for the new house!

4. I'm scared that this baby will be bigger than Brendan
5. My dog needs a major grooming
6. I feel bad for my dog, ever since Brendan he's taken a back seat. He's s hyper sweetheart!
7. I wish my in-laws liked him more, but for not being dog people they are pretty good
8. We have too many family events (birthday parties, showers, weddings) in the next month leading up to the baby
9. We almost have Brendan's big boy room ready!!!

2. # 1 made me feel like King of the Road
3. I can not wait for vacation
4. Aunt Flo is being a b!tch this cycle.
5. #4 will affect the first day of my vacation
6. I planted my cold weather veggies this weekend and all of this rain is making them happy.
7. I have been avoiding using my Yoga Shelter groupon because I am too embarassed to go to yoga by myself.
8. #7 makes no sense since yoga is an individual workout
9. I am wearing a skirt today and my legs are pastey white. I feel bad for people who look at them.
10. I need my eyebrows waxed desperately and am thinking about doing it at lunch tomorrow.
1. I have had a headache for 24 hours. It went a way for a bit this morning, mostly because I fed it a chocolate croissant. Fat and chocolate help hormone headaches, don't judge me.
2. We're picking up the new car today and I want to get it home and in the garage before the bad weather.
3. My wedding gift is being delivered on Friday, 2.5 years after we got married. I'm not mad that it is late, and I'm excited to finally have it.
4. I have a potential for a job interview. If I got the job, I'd be working about 10 cubes from my husband.
5. I don't eat enough protein.

5 whole feet of unsuccessful decision making
Blog: Loki's Kitchen*Loki Life*All About BMR
Wisely and Slow (My Husband's Running Blog)
1. I have been at work for 4 1/2 hours and have probably done about 2 hours of anything resembling work.
2. DH really wants to go on a cruise or mini-vacay, but I feel like everything is too expensive and I don't really want to waste my vacation time.
3. I watch way too much crap TV.
4. I have really been slacking on the home cooked meals lately.
5. I finally told a couple co-workers I'm pregnant and I feel very relieved.
6. I hope my sister gets pregnant soon because she really really wants to be and sometimes I feel bad talking about my pregnancy around her.
7. I haven't liked any of the baby name suggestions DH has thrown out. I have a feeling that picking a name won't be fun.
8. I really want to keep out baby name a secret until the birth, but I know DH won't want to. He wanted to find out the sex, but we are staying Team Green, so I feel like I should let him win on this one.
9. I am freezing cold and wearing dresses all week because nothing else fits.
10. I can't believe it's only Tuesday...
1. I am so happy that bowling season is over and I don't have that commitment twice a week anymore!
2. I don't think I'm ever going to lose these last 10 pounds.
3. I really need to get my working out motivation back. Not sure what happened.
4. I hope it stays nice out so I can take a run outside when I get home. That sounds much better than the treadmill.
5. I am having a hungry day and I'm not sure why.
6. One of the doctors at work put a container of almonds and one of granola in my desk so she wouldn't be tempted to eat it all day and I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay out of it today.
7. I feel like people think I'm crazy because I don't have/want kids.
8. I have a lot of work to do but just can't make myself do it this afternoon.
9. I'm looking forward to watching Biggest Loser tonight.

1. I want to be outside not at work. I am being such a slacker because we are so slow.
2. I worked a t13.5 hour day on Sunday and am leaving early/coming in late the next two days to make up for it.
3. It may not be professional but my email signature for work has "Go Tigers!" and the W-L record in it.
4. I have had my apartment since March 31st and moved all the stuff in a week and a half ago but it is still not unpacked.
5. I can't wait for my cousin to move in so I can start cooking again. I won't cook just for me.
6. My cousin is a vegetarian so I might turn into a vegetarian at home if we cook together.
7. I want to eat a huge Dairy Queen ice cream cone even though dairy makes me sick. It would be worth it.
8. I am hoping that the court date for the divorce is before my passport is a year old (June 22). I don't want to pay to change my name back considering I've only used it once.
9. When I go change my name back I might just get an enhanced license so I don't have to deal with the passport until I fly somewhere.
10. I missed you guys when I didn't post.
Fire it up, Let's go get this thing stuck
1. I am going shopping tonight

5. Last night I moved one of our couches into the other living room (we have two) where I have a big tv that i bought from a friend that won't fit in our regular entertainment center so it's just been sitting there.
6. I shall call this newly created room my "woman cave". We now have his & her's rooms to watch TV and the kitchen is in the middle, i find this hillarious.
7. I plan on doing ample amounts of drinking while on vacation... especially rum runners.
8. my apologizes in advnce to anyone who's a FB friend because I will likely post pictures of said cocktails while on the beach.
9. 3 days from now, I leave for FL!!
10. the 10 day forcast so far is amazing!! bascially 88-92 degrees & sunny (don't hate)

1. Our UPS driver has been gone for a couple weeks now. We give each other a hard time daily, calling each other slackers and whatnot. I just heard that he has been gone because someone murdered his brother in FL and he has been down there. I feel so bad for him. I am also glad someone said something before I said anything about him slacking. OMG that would have been awful.
2. I love guacamole. I am putting it on the burgers we are making tonight.
3. I don't like my screename, but I don't feel like creating a new account and "staring over".
4. My friend said the local paper should have done a story about my grandpa being a hero (re: the car in canal/child story I told). I hadn't thought of that, but it is hard to disagree in my biased opinion. He is such a hero.
5. I feel like we are bleeding money lately. It needs to stop.
6. I am newly in love with a Bare Minerals product called Well Rested. Best stuff ever for covering dark undereye circles.
7. I don't think I am going to work out at all this week. I just don't want to.
8. I am getting board with the "train wreck" reality tv I have been watching.
9. I need to stop being so surprised when people are so rude on the phone. Happens all the time around here, so why am I so surprised every time? Weird.
10. One of my co-workers is acting like a jealous brat about a position we are hiring for. It is getting old already and he just found out yesterday.
1. Just picked up our new pop up. No more sleeping on the ground.
2. I made a reservation for camping Memorial weekend and I can't wait.
3. I was a nervous wreck backing the camper in the drive and getting it in the backyard by myself, but I did it!
4. DH left last night for IN and I am missing him.
5. I am craving Sushi from Makimoto's right now.
6. I have a ton of things I need to do before DH comes home Thurs or Fri and I really don't feel like doing them.
7. I'm debating going to Florida to visit my cousin around my birthday for a long weekend but I'm not sure I can with everything going on.
8. Would love it if DH's job would make a decision on where they are going to move to so we can start looking at houses.
9. I can't wait for the weather to warm up so so I can do some landscaping at my parents and a few other people.
10. I took up knitting again and can't wait for the evenings so I can work on making blankets for family and friends.

2. I got a new pair of Yoga pants, I am not a fan.
3. We got Landon a dump truck for Easter. He loves it. He pushes it around the house and puts random stuff in it as he goes. Currently there's a doggy puzzle piece, a surf DVD, one mega block, a stuffed fish and a fork in there.
4. Someone brought our trash cans in for us today, but I have no idea who.
5. I hope it rains every day and through the weekend so that the IL's don't ask to take Landon on walks. I don't want to have to tell them no.
