Re: Five Things Friday
1. I am so grumpy thinking that the Wings mght be out of the playoffs tonight
2. Part of that reason is a friend of mine is a HUGE Chicago fa & I had so much fun making fun of her for her team losing in the 1st round, I don't want retaliation for getting swept
3. DH bought me flowers & has been super nice all week bc he is in the dog house...big time....he may never get out of it but Im not telling him that bc I like the flowers & niceness right now
4. DD has a temper...she slaps people & can be downright mean...I tell her all the time she isnt going to have any friends & will get kicked out of preschool...part of me is joking, the other part really believes this...I blame DH
5. I know where DH went for my Mothers Day gift & he offered to give it to me last Sat bc of how much in the dog house he is...I said no & even though its only 2 days away, part of me kicks myself everytime I walk past the wrapped box....I am not a loser, I swear!
1. I really want to join the Disney Vacation Club but I know DH won't go for it because he will think that I only want to go to Disney world not the other cool places and its really expensive.
2. While I am happy that there is a break in the weather outside and all the color s are really pretty, I am miserable because my allergies are extremely bad right now.
3. Tomorrow is Derby Day which is a big deal for me and my dad. I really hope that one day I can actually go done to Kentucky to watch it versus watching at Hazel Park.
4. I read Something Borrowed and hated the characters. Please tell me I am not the only person who feels this way.
5. There has been some changes here at work (someone leaving, someone new coming in, and someone being able to go on 4 days when it was never offered to me) and I am not sure how I feel about them.
1. I am leaving work in an hour to go to a Mother's Day Tea at DD's daycare.
2. I do not like when MIL calls DD, Molls or Moll. Molly is not a long name, no need to shorten it.
3. DD is rolling over
4. I just signed up for ebates.com and now want to do even more online shopping to earn cash back
5. DH took it upon himself to mow over the sad excuse we have for a flower bed in the backyard and I got mad. I know we are too lazy to keep it looking nice and most of the plants I don't care about, but there was a nice hosta that was coming in and he just demolished it.
DH and friends went down to Louisville a couple years in a row a few years back and partied in the infield. I've wanted to go, but no one really goes anymore and w/a baby I highly doubt we'd go now.
dont worry, the tv was on all the time when Lucas was a baby baby (so I could hear some noise during the day). He would strain all the time to watch it, it is how we did tummy time because he was so stubborn. Now he could care less that its on - as long as hes the one that gets to carry the remote around.
Mommy's little helper
1. Im going to devour the left over chinese thats in the fridge in about 15 mins. I feel guilty because we are going to have pizza tonight for dinner, but I dont feel guilty enough to eat something better.
2. Lucas is sick I took him to the dr and the dr said I couldnt really do anything for him except a humidifier and vicks. Dumb, I hate to see him suffer he looks so miserable.
3. I cannot wait until we move into our house.
4. I cannot wait until we move into our house.
5. I cannot wait until we move into our house.
Mommy's little helper
1. I saw ten things Tuesday late last week, and I was bummed I didn't participate. I am happy to join in today.
2. I am happy today is Friday. This week has dragged. I have mixed feelings about all the yard work I need to do this weekend.
3. My bf and I have been together for almost a year now. I can't believe it.
4. I am, unabashedly, growing impatient for a ring. lol
5. I am looking forward to being a "legit" member on the board again.
1. I did absolutely nothing last night as soon as I got home other than read my Royal Wedding People and catch up on DVR while DH was at golf. It was fabulous.
2. I kind of don't want to go to our birthing class tomorrow. I really only want to talk to the drug man and not do anymore breathing excercises or group "getting to know you" activities.
3. The more I am out in the general public (concerts, fairs, parks, airports, etc.), the more and more I dislike people. I fear this will cause me to become a hermit by the time I am 45.
4. I really wish I could spend the whole summer up north at some great beach house. I need a change of scenery and up north just makes me so happy.
5. I am vainly hoping this baby has my hair. I used to hate how dark it was, now I love it and want to see it carried on with our kids.
You ARE a legit member! I was just thinking how nice it is to see you popping in again!
1. I attempted to order some cute baby socks from amazon, and they sent the wrong ones. Now I have to package them up and send them back, which sucks because I hate the post office and I have no packing tape.
2. I really need it to be a good 10 degrees warmer so I can wear some cute maternity clothes because it is too cold to wear them right now. I bought maternity clothes for "spring." Oops.
3. S/O maternity clothes, I HATE MOTHERHOOD MATERNITY! Their quality is crap, the fit is abborhent, and they are expensive. Meh.
4. I am excited for getting some yard work done this weekend--possibly buying new flower planters for the front porch especially.
5. I am trying to be very eco-friendly and economical by looking on Craigs list/Ebay for things we need (master bedroom furniture, patio set, planters, swing set, etc) but I just get annoying picking through all the nonsense. Does anyone have any of the above you'd like to sell to me?
1. DH and I really want a lake house but don?t see much out there that we?re interested in. So we?re looking at subdivision houses too and they are beautiful and much more affordable.
2. I?m not too stressed out about finding a house but I?m super stressed out at the prospect of moving 8 months pregnant. And not being unpacked in time for the baby.
3. #2 is because I?m so nervous about the first couple of months with a baby ? let alone adding additional changes to our lives.
4. I?m also a little worried that we won?t appraise for as much as our offer is written for?.our comps are all over the board. Humph.
5. I?m obviously fixated on our housing situation right now.
I am really sorry to hear this! I hope things get resolved and you start feeling better. Maybe a Red Wings victory tonight will help a little.
1. I am off Monday and I cannot wait.
2. My 2nd cousin is pregnant and has no support. It really makes me sad. I have been shopping for her and picking up things here and there to send her. My family has bought the swing and bath tub for her.
3. Did I mention that she is not having a shower and this is her first. She lives with the baby daddy out of state but she is all alone because he is in the Navy and is often gone.
4. I filled my tank with gas on Tuesday, I now have less then a quarter tank.
5. I asked DH if he is getting me anything for Mothers Day and he responded with "when is that again?" Grrrrr!
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that!
1. I just got back from Kohl's
2. I am incredibly frustrated by a co-worker and a customer right now
3. TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need this weekend desperately.
4. I want to leave early but at the same time I don't want to leave anything unfinished for Monday. Very conflicted feelings.
5. I wish it were easier to cut 'friends' out of your life sometimes particularly high maintenance ones.
1. I look like a drug addict with all of these IV pokes in my arm. 1 from Sunday's ER visit, 1 from Wednesday's Endoscopy, and 1 from Thursday's CT Scan.
2. We got Dylan a sandbox over Winter and just bought the sand for it. I think I want to play in it more than he does.
3. I walked into an Estate sale today and there was a tv show being taped! There was a camera crew and staff everywhere. I totally wasn't expecting that.
4. I have such bad cramps, which my OB said could happen after the IUD is put in.
5. I'm making brownies tonight. That is all
I second Dress Barn. I'm going there tomorrow to get a dress for Summer's baptism.
ritzy - most people ask if we call her maddie and we tell them no, we call her madelyn and they follow our lead (with the exception of MIL)
tarah - this approach works with the average considerate person - MIL, not so much. she has an obsession with adding Y's to everyone's name. She calls her husband richy (rich), DSS benny (ben) and DH nicky (nick). DH said he couldn't stand it when he was growing up. sadly when we decide to have a 2nd one I will be coming up with a name she can't add a Y to.
bll530 - I'm right there with you on the MIL nickname thing!
pookums - AMEN to #5
