Five Things Friday
1. I currently have that horrible "Friday" song stuck in my head because I heard them sing it on Glee. How did that song get popular? The lyrics make my brain bleed.
2. Work is quiet for once - I know right as I'm about to leave for the day I will get slammed.
3. I am sooooo sad that next week is going to be rainy again. Our plants are goign to float away!
4. I'm kind of excited that we don't have any set plans for Sunday - it'll be our last weekend free of plans for a while.
5. Our fridge is overflowing with invites we've received in the mail in the past two weeks for parties/showers/gatherings. My wallet is crying.
Re: Five Things Friday
1. I finally called and made an appointment to go to the doctors for my allergies.
2. I fell asleep at 6pm last night and woke up at 7am...
3. I'm trying to convince DH to drive up to Nova Scotia after my brothers wedding in Maine, over labor day weekend. We have the next week off and I think it would be a lot of fun! I think I might have him on board!
4. I am SO excited to get a little sunshine this weekend!!!
5. I would like a nap right now, despite getting 13 hours of sleep last night

1. I missed TTT so I'm glad you posted this.
2. DH talked about TTC #2 a few night ago and he wants to do it now.
3. I honestly cant decide on #2, but I can tell you, I DO NOT want to try now. I am enjoying DD right now and I want all my mommy time to be focused on her for awhile.
4. I am annoyed that some people arent posting because they dont want people to get bent out of shape on their personal thoughts/opionions. It's YOUR OWN thoughts/opionions and you should feel free to express them. Who cares what other's say/think.
5. TGIF. I want a drink now.
This is happening to my plants too!!!! My tomatoes are dying... It needs to stop raining!

1. I am dreading the next month and a half. Every single weekend is booked solid.
2. I'm really stressed out and I'm having a really hard time dealing. I cry just about every day.
3. In 24 days Gabriel will be 1. Typing that out was hard. And now the tears are flowing.
4. I am so excited to see Chicago tomorrow with my bff. It's going to be amazing and a much needed girls day out
5. I made DH's bff's wife a tutu for her baby shower tomorrow (they are having a girl). I cried the entire time I made it. Then I felt guilty for crying and felt like a bad mom.

Jackie - a sick sick part of me (a SMALL sick sick part of me) would be thrilled to be pregnant again right now. I told you...sick. haha.
*NO WE'RE NOT TRYING**
Honestly I'm enjoying every day with Dayne - it makes me sad to see him grow so quickly. We gave him a bath last night and he's as long as the baby tub. Why must they grow like weeds?
This is ironic. I try not to offend anyone, and end up offending someone. GAH! lol. I don't like to start drama, and apparently my confessions lately have been doing that, that's all. I will find less offensive things to confess, no worries.
)
Why is that sick? When we eventually have kids, I want them to be close together....like 1 to 1.5ish years apart. Maybe I am sick too?
)
Lol. It's ok Tarah. I do ::sometimes:: miss being pregnant. But then I remind myself how hard a pregnancy can be and every thing I went through during labor & delivery with Chloe. I'm still not over it nor have I forgotten about it.
I hate how fast they grow. People would say it to me all the time, but now that I have my own, I realize it so much more.
FWIW, you've never offended me. I enjoy your posts and replies. You are full of great info.
1. I'm so tired of blowing my nose all the time, it's May darn it, I should NOT have a cold right now!
2. I had a fun time going out to dinner w/some of my mom friends last night, 1st time in awhile where I wasn't going to run errands or a mtg.
3. Happy that DH's 2 days home turned into all week & at least until Monday. He's not sure if his next assignment (probably Cincy) will have him go there next week or after our vacation.
4. Can't believe we leave for Florida in 8 days! We're going for a wedding, DD is a flower girl, and we're turning it into a vacation beforehand.
5. Should really start packing and planning a bit more for it, just nervous since it's our 1st time flying w/kids, but I know I'll be fine once I get on the plane!
1. I finally went on a walk outside during lunch today.
2. I have an interview scheduled in a couple of weeks
3. I am rewarding myself with some cheetos
4. DS rolled from back to tummy for the first time yesterday and DH got it on video. (I have been working on this for weeks with him!)
5. He repeated it again for me last night, so all of my hard work paid off! Now we can focus on sitting up and then crawling!
Famous last words
Don't wish for crawling! Enjoy him how he is now
Once they crawl WATCH OUT!

You took the words right out my mouth. It's all over when they start crawling. Call me a bad mom but sometimes I wish for the days when Chloe would just stay put.
1. I'm feeling so overwhelmed about the amount of things that need to be done at work and yet I'm feeling so unmotivated to even get started on them. I just want to take a torch and burn all the papers that need to be graded!
2. I'm sick, sick, sick of all this stuff going on with education. We just found out that we are now going to pay 20% of our insurance AND not get any step raises (which really weren't that much to begin with) for the next three years. This affects both DH and I since we're both teachers.
3. I keep wondering when the best time to start TTC #2 is, but the thing that scares me to death is the cost of 2 in daycare.
4. I'm hoping we didn't make a mistake by turning down our first offer on the house since we haven't had any offers since.
5. I can't wait to spend this weekend with DH and DS. It's a weekend with barely anything planned!
Me too. My sister taught Gabe to climb the stairs about a month and a half ago. Thanks.
And how the hell is Chloe 9mo already?! OMG!

Umm... how the hell is Gabe almost 1yr already?
1. I picked up my new car yesterday.
2. I just want to sit in it and breathe new car smell all day.
3. I can't concentrate at work because I want to go for a drive.
4. We're going to Greenfield Village tomorrow and I'm going to let DH drive the car.
5. I'm technology challenged, and I think that this car is more advanced than me. I have read the entire manual and I'm still kind of confused.

1. TGIF! I have been waiting for Friday all week. I feel kinda burnt out at work.
2. I am leaving for a dog show tonight with the bf and the dog. My mom won't be at this one, which is unusual. I will probably miss having her support there, but I am secretly very excited for the drama free weekend.
3. Howe's Bayou is yummy.
4. I have a gift certificate to get my truck detailed, but I have been holding off until I can get at least one rain free day to enjoy it. At this rate, I'll never get it detailed.
5. The bf watches David Tutera's My Fair Wedding with me.
I don't know, but this has been me for like 2 weeks now

1. I wish I could post here more but I'm not supposed to nest at work and by the time I get home I doubt anyone would read my replies.
2. I was really looking forward to no plans this weekend and somehow we have no free time to relax at all
3. I desperately need new clothes but every time I go shopping I don't buy anything because I don't think I would look good in new styles. I HATE that I wear solid colored tshirts all the time. And I wear the same scrubs to work M-F, which makes me more depressed about my sucky wardrobe.
4. I don't usually complain about weather because it is what it is, but I am getting really bummed about all of this rain and I want to plant flowers!
5. It's been 1 year since my divorce and I can't even begin to describe how much different my life is now. At the start of the process I felt like my life was so out of control and that I would never be happy again but 1 year later I can say I am healthier, happier and care a whole lot more about myself than I ever have before.
haha - I had a pretty easy pregnancy and delivery (minus the fact it was so long). I enjoyed being pregnant and do miss it at times. We won't try for #2 until Dayne is at least 1 - but I thinking not until next July/August.
We're also not going to be upset if we get a "surprise" either as we're really not using any formal BC - just P&P. So we're very aware it could happen - which would be a welcome because after the trouble we went through for Dayne - not having to "stress" about it would be awesome.
And when the time comes, that will be me as well.
Yea it's not sick! It's crazy, and stressful, but everybody with kids close together says their kids are so close. And they are always in school and can stick up for each other
Well said.
It is amazing isn't it?
haha - I'm sorry - this made me laugh! What are you confused about? Maybe we can help out!
1. I'm excited for the nice weather tomorrow. We'll be hitting Henry Ford Village and Museum. DH is a HUGE civil war fan, so I know he'll love it.
2. I'm excited for DH to be excited about tomorrow.
3. Summer STTN last night, so I think we'll start making sure she does. We learned from Dylan - he took 7.5 months because we didn't know any better.
4. I'm waiting for my Gastro to call me back today to see if I need another CT scan or if I'm getting my appendix removed.
5. I kinda just want my appendix removed if it could even slightly be the reason for my stomach pain. That, and it's abnormally shaped/enlarged, so I think it needs removed anyway.
I'm sure I'll long for the days of him just chilling, but each new thing he does is so fun!
1. I have so much I want to do around the house but no time to do it
2. my phone is being annoying and messing up....
3 Client is here must finish later
2. I'm sure I will regret my lunch decision in a few hours.
3. There is not an ounce of motivation in my body to work today. I'm slowing going thru things that I normally whip thru. I'll end up paying for this next week.
4. It's so nice outside.... can't wait to get out of this place, come on 4:30
5. I got gas last night for $3.79 & was so excited.... until I realized i was filling up DH's truck (I drove it all week). his gas tank is much larger then my car.
