Hello?? Weds. post
Anyone out there??
I'm going to be super bored today!! Everyone around my office is gone today. Most are at a retreat. It's quiet...... like listening to crickets quiet.
Last night we had our first birth/parenting class. Just got done writing a blog about it, b/c it was worthy of one. Odd thing though is that there are 10 couples in the class. 8 of us are having boys and the 2 are not finding out the gender. Seemed a little odd. Guess the boys are taking over!!
How was everyone else's evening?
Re: Hello?? Weds. post
Total *** dragger week.
Last night I did nothing. I went home, changed, ate, watched the Phils, ran the dishwasher, packed lunch and gym bag, watched Pan Am, and was in bed asleep by a little after 10. Whew.
Tonight I have a Relay meeting so I had to drive in. HATE. Also cannot watch Phillies game. HATE. I am 100% not running this next year, I am burnt out.
I am desperately seeking Halloween costumes for us. I am drawing a blank this year.
Morning!
Moleson - that is a LOT of baby boys!! Out of 5 friends that either recently had or are having babies - all boys.
Last night was a class night for me, so I am in class until 8:15 then take the train home and get back around 10:30 - hate. I usually am in bed pretty early or at least in yoga pants by 8:30 so this schedule really has me all turned around and crazy. Blah.
Today I am having the house cleaned - professionally - YAY! I'm so excited!! And then later - class.
Link to blog please, love to know how it went!
Last night was ok, got home, tried to sweep/mop hardwood (epic fail since I couldn't find our Bona mop and tried to hand wash, blech), vaccuumed the living room, made dinner (another epic fail since I forgot to defrost the meat for steak stir fry), listed my halloween costume on eBay (success! already 10 bids), watched BL (hello to my new lover, Tebow)did laundry and dishes, then went to bed.
All butt-hurt since I'm not seeing the scale move downward, been holding steady at -15 for 3 weeks now. I'm thinking I'm not consuming enough calories for how active I've been lately. Thinking about getting a Body Bugg (see FB status), but can't decide.
And, I read all the daily posts I've been missing lately - holy crap you guys have a lot going on!
QofA - Congrats!!
Deb - Hawaii photos / review please!!! We are going in January and I'm so excited for it!
and what's the fb thing? Anyone want to clue me in? :-)
I posted it on my personal FB account, but here's the link too http://maryswisconsinlife.blogspot.com/2011/10/you-want-me-to-put-my-hand-where-and.html
Good Morning! I just have no motivation for work this week. So i will be up for entertainment today as well.
I love that I work in a school because I have parents give me random baby stuff they dont need anymore. Yesterday a mom gave me her thing you put in your shopping cart or restraunt high chair thingy that they sit in to not get germy. Not a pattern i would have picked but I don't care because it was free. I also think I am getting a play kitchen with food, granted she can't use it for a while but thats ok. This is also how we got our pack-n-play.
Tonight is Trivia night. We have decide that our team only really works when it is Greg, myself and my BFF, other people have tried to join and we never do as well. Not that we are great but we always do way worse when anyone else joins us. Its very wierd because you would think the more people the better since everyone has different random knowledge but we always do way worse.
Whenever you talk about trivia night, it makes me think of Buffalo Wild Wings (b/c they have trivia, or at least ours does). And now I want WINGS!!! (This happened before I was pregnant too when you would mention it.)
haha actually we go to a wing place to play.
I am in an AWFUL mood today. Straight up AWFUL.
My current complaint is that my BFF is telling me I'm being "too crazy" about what I"m eating. WTF. I've decided not to eat tuna every day or consume too much caffeine and she's criticizing me for it. WTF. I don't give a crap what she's going to eat or not eat whenever she gets KU. The only reason this came up was because I just got a craving for a tuna melt and was like "hmm, I probably shouldnt eat that." GRRRRRRRR.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
Btw, I totally agree with all your points. No touching, no mirror, clean that kid up.

Thanks! Obviously everyone is different and things change when you're in the moment. But in the video they had us watch last night, the nurse or someone says "why don't you reach down here and feel the baby!" I think they thought it would motivate her. This is the part that made me mad, then the reached up and pulled her hand down there!!! If someone does that to me, and I'm not reaching on my own, you better have a good grip on me, b/c the only thing I'll be trying to touch is my fist with your face!
Thanks! I'm a goob w/ the new face space layout. I can barely see my own posts...
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Ditto, gross gross and gross.
WTF! I don't want to reach and feel or see what is going on down there.
On Saturday i had my first random person (well not totally) tell me they would love to be with me when I gave birth. Our friend(accquintance) new wife who I have met maybe 10 times told me that since I don't have any family here that she would love to be there for me to hold my hand. Very nice intention but I don't really know you so I really don't want you in the same room as me when my vagina is out and open.
WTF? I didn't even want MY MOM there, let alone some random-practically-a-stranger. That is messed up.
Angie - deadly jealous of your professional housecleaning.
Misty - I lose about 2 to 3 pounds per week. I've never considered not eating enough. If I'm still losing, I should be good, right? I do some input on calorie.com or whatever every once in a while just to ensure my activity outweighs my intake.
Hello, hump day.
K is still sick. Finally going to the dr at 1:30. Hoping for some good drugs for him.
I'm exhausted and I have to tell my parents that they'll not be sleeping at our house on Christmas Eve so they can book a hotel room (which won't cost them any $$ since my sister has bazillions of points for free stays, but I digress). Dreading the convo.
Otherwise, all is well. Come on, weekend.
Well hello hump day, you sucketh. Geez it feels like the weeks are now dragging. This week seems longer than last week. I don't have much work so I will attempt to look busy today.
Last night we went to the Hallowen store. The hubs and I have decided to be Cleopatra and a mummy. We have never done a couples thing before so this will be our first year. I love Halloween and hope to start putting up decorations this weekend. I was telling Rich that I want to build (have my dad do it of course) a coffin and have him lie in it and pop up when trick or treaters come up the pathway. Muahhaha, I'm evil like that. He thought it would be mean...party pooper. We went to Dollar Tree and picked up tombstones, caution tape and spider webs. We're planning on going to Target and WalMart this weekend for more decorations.
Angie- Hawaii was fantastic. All of my pics are on fb. PM me if you want me to friend request you.
Brew- Ooh, good idea about listing costumes on eBay. I have a few I can get rid of.
Sunshine- Sorry to hear you're sick.
It's Wednesday. I'm exhausted and have a major headache and this medicine is not kicking in to help. Blah.
I didn't get home til 9:30 last night. I watched New Girl and and episode of season 9 from Smallville, read a chapter in my book and hit the hay. Then I overslept this morning. Whoops. Luckily, all my kiddos were testing so it worked out.
I have to help out at the nursing home again tonight since the Speech dude is now sick. (Thank you to his wife and kid who got him sick.) Hopefully, it won't take near as long tonight since I only have to go to one facility and I won't get there as late.
J starts his new job today. He'll be working from 3:30-midnight so we won't see each other unless I stay up which is totally possible since I still have to start and finish my mom's scrapbook, bake another batch of cake balls and who knows what else before I leave Friday.
First, please talk him into this and I say this bc one year while trick or treating, my neighbor jumped out from behind his house and cranked up the chain saw and scared the mess out of me. It was awesome!
I have no idea if we're decorating for halloween or not. I really want to but I have no idea when we can do it or if we'll even be home that weekend. Also, I'm thinking if we do dress up we'll be Superman and Wonderwoman.
Do it, do it, do it!!! There was a family when i was growing up that ALWAYS had live people jumping out or doing something on their porch or on the way up to the porch. I think they always got the most trick or treaters b/c of this reason.
Moleson- I am not sure how I'll feel about all the stuff you mentioned... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. But, your descriptions and reactioms crack me up!
I'll fill in more if i can later... buzy.bee today.I know right! We have a fog machine too so it would be really scary. I'm going to try to convince him to do this.
This. I don't think I want to see and I definitely don't want to reach down and feel. No thank you! I'll be quite content seeing him/her AFTER he/she's out.
Seriously, who would even ask/suggest that?! Crazy lady...
Sorry I have been MIA so far this week.
Last week I subbed in an elementary school and then came down with the flu, I was starting to feel better, woke up yesterday to sub again and barely had a voice. I subbed yesterday because I was filling in as a Title teacher so I only had to work with small groups. Today my voice still isn't there (plus cough and congestion, boo) and I had to call in sick for subbing since I was supposed to have a 5th grade class all day. No way I could have taught without a voice.
Tonight I am supposed to be playing in a volleyball league, we'll see how that goes. Good news though, I lost 4 pounds this week, not exactly the way I wanted to, but now I am back to my normal after gaining a bit.
