Yay Thursday?
I'm going slightly batty having not worked out at all in the last week. I might attempt a workout tonight. We shall see. I may regret it with my foot tomorrow, but I want to at least try.
Happy Cinco de Mayo and a belated Star Wars Day. May the Fourth be with you (yesterday). I totally forgot until the afternoon!
Anyone having delicious Mexican food tonight? I need to find a good recipe to make!

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

Re: Good Morning!
I'm with you on the workouts. I can't seem to find the motivation in the morning, but I'm really going to try to do something tonight. DH is out at a work dinner, so I really have no excuses.
I'd forgotton about Cinco de Mayo, but we've coincidentally scheduled to have dinner with friends tomorrow night at a great Mexican place. They don't take reservations, so I'm hoping it won't be too packed there tomorrow because of the holiday.

It's Fake Friday for me, so I'm happy. Tomorrow I have a ton of errands to do to get ready for our trip to Cancun on Saturday. But I'm not complaining.
Today just lots of reading and writing to do. Buy a few things for the trip during lunch, too. I'm going to keep my head down because there's a meeting going on and I don't want to get snared into it.
Thanks so much for all the vibes yesterday! I felt great throughout the interview (two hours long!) and hope I made a good impression. They certainly did! I'd love to work there. I would be so busy, but I need the career growth. Fingers crossed--they said they'd make a decision by the week of the 23rd. My birthday is the 25th, so my sister said it'd be a great birthday present. We'll see!
As for great Mexican food, yes--but only because they're leftovers from earlier this week that I made.
I'm so sad that we can't go out to dinner tonight. DH is getting a nice Mexican catered meal at work today, but then he's got a mentor dinner at the high school tonight. I'll be cooking a burger on the grill and making some potato salad I think. We'll see how motivated I am once I get home tonight. This weather makes me want to curl up in a ball and sleep.
Last night DH and his dad finally got the ceiling fans installed. It took them all afternoon, since we didn't already have lights in the ceiling, but I'm so glad it's done. Tonight he might start painting the ceiling and hopefully by the weekend the walls will have some color. I can't wait to get the closet and room put back in order.
Good morning! We're in full panic mode right now with getting in the rest of the curriculum and marks in the next 6 weeks. I feel like I'm just flying in and out of here when I had a spare moment.
Totally random (and for anyone familiar with the WWE): I sat next to Trish Stratus at a vegetarian restaurant last night.

Good morning!
Nothing too exciting today but it's a gorgeous sunny day, and we're finally getting a garage door opener installed. Huzzah!

Good morning! Today is fake Friday; Jim and I are going to Vermont tomorrow for the weekend. It's a long way to go for a short stay, but we are taking the train (no driving) and I'm really looking forward to not having a bunch of stuff planned to do.
I've got a crap ton of stuff to do today and I don't want to do any of it. Somebody needs to send me some focus.

Did you get Stratusfied? Ha. She's on the Edge all the time.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
Have fun doing nothing! It sounds perfect.
Good morning, ladies.
We are in full-on crisis mode. The prom dress DD ordered online doesn't fit, prom is Saturday, the website does store credit vs refund, and UPS doesn't deliver on Saturday. I talked to a very nice customer service rep the minute they opened the phone line, and she said the replacement is in stock and ready to ship, so she's pretty sure it will get here tomorrow, and they will authorize a refund since the return will cross in the mail with the new order. I really hope this turns out ok - I can't stand any more tears over this darn dress. And, I stayed up too late sewing, but I was having so much fun I didn't care. Until now, that is. I'll have to PIP my new ensemble, along with the prom dress.
Have a great day, everyone!
Good Morning!
Last night we had dinner with my BFF and her fiance. I was up way too late so I am paying for that one today. On top of that, it's rainy here so I am ready for a nap.
Today is a lot of running around for work so hopefully the day goes by fast.
Have a great day, ladies!
Lespaul- Hope the prom dress crisis works out. Post a picture of the dress. I am such a sucker for prom dreeses.
Good Morning ladies.
This morning I am printing out some mothers day activities for Jordan to color and make for my mom, eli's mom, and grandparents. Nothing exciting today I have some errands to run at lunch but that will be about it.
I'm swamped. Our office open house/Cinco de Mayo party is tonight. Hopefully it goes off without any further problems (i.e. this is the event I screwed up the email invites on!)
There will be finger foods, but since I'm supposed to be socializing, DH is meeting me downtown and we're going to grab dinner afterwards. I'm hoping we can get into this great mexican place.
I'm ready for the weekend!
The thing I'm most looking forward to today is the wedding episodes on Greys and PP. So excited for that. Other than that, I'm hoping today is a better one than yesterday. I may tie my keys around my wrist so I don't lock them in my vehicle again.
Happy Thursday!
It was a good day since my doctor called early with my beta numbers and they were good. My kids were itchy, but not as bad as some of the other classes today, so it was all relative. We had a visiting author come in who spent most of my last period the last two days just talking, which is hard for my kids at the end of the day, so I was actually really proud of them for being polite and keeping it together.
Ed and I are going out for dinner tonight, so we are hoping one of our favorite restaurants has some good Mexican specials...Ed wants nachos!
And, my foot is finally feeling better, so I get to try a short run tomorrow or Saturday and see how it goes. Fingers crossed that there is no pain!
BFP 5/2/11, missed m/c, D&C 6/13/11
BFP 12/8/11--Little Girl E Born 8/22/12
Today was a horrible day at work. I didn't get a lunch break and I had to stay 15 minutes overtime. This has led to a pretty bad migraine. At least I'm getting 45 mins OT at 1.5 times, right?
I'm just getting ready to leave for our last RCIA meeting. It's a dinner for us and our spouses and a "Where do I go now?" talk. I'm hoping my nausea subsides enough that I can enjoy the dinner. Hoping tomorrow goes better at work.
Evening laides!
Today was crazy busy at work. My day was filled with meetings, and files that I would like to burn.
The sun is finally coming out, and DH is watching Wheel of Fortune with the boys. My boys will stop crying the minute it comes on. Ha ha. Is it bad that they are already addicted to mommies favorite game show.
I had my weigh in today, and due to DH work schedule working out has come to a stand still for me. I gained a little under a pound which I am ok with since it was over a 2 week period. I am getting back on track now.
Anyway, hope tomorrow is a better day.
LOL! I totally considered asking for her autograph. She's one of the few female wrestlers I really like and respect.
