Wow, I'm so glad this week is almost over, it just feels like it's been going on forever.
I have to keep laughing and rolling my eyes at one of my CW's. He's been wearing the exact same clothes all week. And it's not like we wear uniforms, or it's not noticeable, his pants literally have the pockets on the outside. They look ridiculous.
Today I'm getting a free lunch out with my group at work, and then tonight I'm off to the eye doctors for a long overdue checkup.
How is everyone today?

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

Re: Goooooooood Morning!
Today I have a surprise interview at 6pm for another school district. Which is actually pretty awesome. I didn't think they were interested in me.It's not until 6pm though so I have time to run some errands today.
Honestly, since Saturday I've felt like a huge weight has been lifted. Like this cloud around my life has finally started to dissipate, and my reason for why everything has happened is being shown to me.
So today is a great day!
MO - So glad you're feeling great again. I'm so happy for you and Sean and keeping everything crossed there are no glitches to get in the way of your happiness.
I'm just tired today. The pup is on new meds, so I had to be up super early so she could take them on an empty stomach. Do they realize that giant horse pills are not easy to swallow for a dog as is? Let alone without being shoved in something tasty. I'm pretty sure my dog hates me at this point with all the things I've been shoving down her throat. I feel like such a horrible momma.
I'm praying that tonight will finally be the relaxation I'm looking for and not a ton of random running around. I also found out I'll probably be working on Saturday...boo.
MO, I'm so happy for you and so happy to hear that you're having a great day!
Good morning. I had a relatively uneventful night. I got in a workout, cooked dinner, did a little bit of cleaning and went to bed early. I'm still tired today, but I'm hoping I wake up a little bit as I sit at work.
Tonight I may be going to a happy hour after work. If that happens it is unlikely that I will accomplish much else after getting home. Happy hour should be a good time though.
I really wish this was almost the end of my week. I'm working this weekend so I'm not even half way done yet.
Today I'm at the bigger hospital so I'm hoping having more staff around will help with my grumpy mood from yesterday. I did actually have a pretty nice finish to my crappy day yesterday...I went for my run and at the very end there was a beautiful rainbow because of the mist and rain.
I'm heading off in to work now to work until 6pm. I'm kind of worried because after I got home from my run, I saw a missed call from the hospital but they didn't leave a message. I quickly double checked my schedule and I AM supposed to be in at 10am. I worry that someone called in sick and they wanted me early. I really hope we aren't short today...I don't have the energy for it.
MO, very happy for you!
Morning, all. Not too shabby today, just doing some packing and trying to keep my head down in this last week. As I'd feared, the VP of the company is starting to act unprofessional about me leaving. My coworkers know and are happy and supportive, but are angry at the VP's reaction. Even my supervisor, who considers the VP a friend, thinks he's handling it badly.
Last night was nice--I pushed myself out the door and had a good workout, then had a great dinner that H prepared while I was at the gym. I then finished James Hynes' Next--whoa. Best book I've read so far this year. The end was amazing. It left me speechless.
Have a great day, ladies!
My sisters wedding is in 22 days. I have to write a speech. Anyone have any tips on how to get started, I just feel so overwhelmed....she did a great one at our wedding...I don't want mine to be a let-down. She is amazing and I want my speech to show that. Help!
Good morning! I didn't do much last night, but I did get some knitting done. I should finish that project up tonight.
Today I have some material to pull together for a grant application, so that should keep me busy most of the day. We don't have anything planned for this evening - just one day closer to the weekend.

Good Morning! Last night was pretty uneventful...SIL made dinner for myself, DH and her boyfriend, and we pretty much lounged on the couch until bedtime.
Today I have to run a few errands, then SIL and I going to get pedicures. I haven't had one since our wedding, so I am looking forward to it.
Have a great day ladies!
Good morning all!
Yesterday was lovely! H was home after returning from a business trip and I got to leave work a bit early and spend the whole evening with him since I had gone to the gym early before work. We went to dinner at a neighborbood Mexican spot, did a couple errands, and then caught up on our DVR. It was wonderful. I'm hoping he'll be home tonight too, but that will only happen if he can rearrange one of his flights for tomorrow which is looking doubtful. So I'm kind of leaving the evening open-ended. I'm reviewing contracts at work until my eyes bleed today, so hopefully the day passes quickly.
MO - I'm so happy that you are in a good place! You are an amazing women with a great attitude and great outlook on life.
Yesterday was uneventful. I went to Sam's club after work to pick up a bunch of stuff for the office. By the time I got home I was exhausted so we had a quick dinner then I sat on the front porch and read a book for the rest of the evening.
Another uneventful night ahead of me but one day closer to Friday so I'm a happy girl!
MO - I am so gald to hear you are in a better place. Keeping everything crossed for you and Sean that I can.
Today has already started out bad. While I was in the shower, my mother somehow hurt her back. So yeah she can't really watch the boys today without someone there. She insisted she could, but seeing her, I disagreed. Thank god, my MIL didn't work lasntight so she came to the house, and I got to work late. (DH worked lasnight so needs to get some sleep).
Then I have my big training presentation today, so I am rushing around with all the last minute revisions trying to get everything ready. So any vibes you have to spare around 1:00 today would be greatly appreciated.
Tonight, I think I will have a beer when I get home to celebrate this day being over. UGH.
Katz - Good luck on your presentation!
This has seemed like the longest week ever. I still haven't heard back on that job, and I my heart skips a beat every time my phone rings or I see I have a new email pushed through.
DH gets home late tonight, and I'm ready for him to be home.
Good Morning!
It's my Friday today.
I am super excited to fly to Ohio today. I have 2 showers this weekend but I am mostly excited just to see my family! I am really going to miss DH though. I hate when he can't come along but he has a big conference this weekend so he is staying home.
I just have to get through this day and then I am off.
See you on Tuesday ladies!
Crazy day today for me. I had training all day (though at least it was useful and relatively interesting). Then we had a retirement party for those teachers retiring in our building. In a few minutes Ed and I are headed to dinner with friends who are moving out of the area on Saturday.
Tomorrow is my last day and then a party at a friend's house...which I am super excited about! Last year's party was wild, and this year will probably be about the same. Ed is coming as our DD, so that's good!
BFP 5/2/11, missed m/c, D&C 6/13/11
BFP 12/8/11--Little Girl E Born 8/22/12
It has been an insane day for me. Some of my deals at work have been heating up and are gearing to close next week, so I think it will be busy until at least the end of the month. Then I'm looking forward on catching up on some of the little things I've been putting off. I have a few more hours of work to do this evening, but I'm hoping to be home by 8:00 to hang with B and relax a bit.
MO, I'm so excited that you've finally started to feel like life makes sense.
Katz, I know I'm late, but I hope the presentation went well and that your mom's back is better.
