Wednesday
Still sick. Boo hiss. I really really really miss DayQuil and NyQuil. Silly baby.
I am exhausted because I couldn't sleep. I'm out sick from work and I'm not going to baking class tonight (yeah, no one wants my germs in their chocolate cream pie, but now I'm not going to make chocolate cream pie, I'm so freaking upset).
Yeah, I'm an unhappy camper and also bored out of my mind. I wish sleeping were an option.
I also wish time could fast forward. I want to jump directly to the weekend before Thanksgiving (I'm going to the 'cuse to see Breaking Dawn at midnight, yeah, yeah I'm a loser but I'm dreading the movie, we're only seeing it because it's tradition at this point), then I think I could deal with regular time through Thanksgiving weekend. Yummy food, getting a tree, not having to help with lugging the tree around cause I'm KU, decorating the tree and the house. Then fast forward again to Dec 23, H and I are going to see "War Horse" on Broadway, eat dinner at BLT Steak (from Hell's Kitchen!) and do touristy things (like go to FAO Schwarz and Times Square and Rockefeller Center, all of which I still apparently say like I'm from downstate Rock-uh-fell-uh), then I might as well fast forward to having my baby. That wait is gonna suck.
Oh and confession, I'm not technically "showing" yet, but I'm definitely walking around wearing low slung sweat pants and a shorter t-shirt and showcasing my chub/bloat. Not like anyone is around to see. I'm sooooo klassy.

Re: Wednesday
QOA- I am the opposite this month can go super slow.
All I have to say is cancer sucks! I just found out a CW has breast cancer again! This time she said she will have to loss her breast. This women is the NICEST PERSON ALIVE! I think I would pay to actually see her get mad.
I am so tired. I haven't been feeling great in the AM so I haven't been buying coffee. I do have a coke which I think I will open soon.
10" of snow, hour long commute, only one in the office right now, people calling in left and right, coffee still percolating, shoulders & back stiff from driving tense but happy as a clam I have new tires to get me here safely.
That is all.
QofA-when is your actual due date?
Xtine-sorry about your CW. Cancer is le suck
yuck, yuck, yuck! That is all i have to say!
hey all!
Went and met with nutritionist and nurse last night about the whole gestational diabetes thing. I feel a lot better now. They made us watch a silly video, but they first thing they said in the video is that you shouldn't feel guilty (which is how i was feeling) and i almost started crying right there. But i made it through without crying and i'm much better today. After getting all the materials, i see that i can have most stuff, it's just about moderation. In a way, the way i have to calculate carbs, is kinda like doing points with weight watchers.
I'm finally starting to breathe through my nose again. Not even 50% yet, however, for a while it was at 0% so, i'm glad to have any progress on that front. Last night I only woke up one time from coughing my lungs out. That's progress.
I'm highly annoyed that we've had to listen to all this crap leading up to Kim Kardashian's wedding, and then the actually wedding, and now the divorce. My local news this morning even talked about it. Guess it was a slow news day.....
QofA - Sorry you are sick! It really stinks when no meds are allowed
Hopefully you will get some sleep at some point today. And I still where sweats around the house almost everyday. It is very difficult to get motivated to get dressed when I know I am not going anywhere....this is one of the reasons I secretly look forward to going back to work. Chocolate cream pie sounds amazing....but I will resist trying to find one...I am trying to lay of the sweets for a while.
Xtine - so sorry to hear about your coworker!
brew - It amazes me you can be happy despite the snow! While I usually try to look on the bright side of things, I don't know if I could do it with that much snow this early in the year!
I am still waiting for my dress for the wedding this weekend! They made me order a dress 4 (8) sizes bigger than what I normally wear because I was 5 months pregnant when we went to try them on. Needless to say I could zip it up and it was too big in spots even when I was overdue! Now it is just a sack!! A friend of ours is taking it in but I know it will likely cost a fortune and I am running out of time for any adjustments if it doesn't fit properly the first time! Also, the dress is a colour I would never wear of my own choosing and it is long and I never have occasions for long dresses.
Have any of you ever been in a wedding where you hated the dress and it was just a lost cause?
May 31. I'm sure I'll have stuff to look forward to in that time frame (like potentially a Bruins game as my Valentine's Day present!) but it's too far out for there to be any plans. And I'm sure I'll want to have the last couple of pregnancy months over ASAP.

Happy Wednesday!
Busy night. My aunt and I planned out the reception and final details over margarita's. I then had to go to Wally World to shop for supplies at 7 pm. Oh lord, was that place crazy busy. More cashiers please? Then Richard was getting pissed because the lady behind us kept bumping him in the a$$ with her cart. Then came home and had to clean because we'll likely have family come over tonight and I would have been embarrassed if they came over to a dirty house.
I came in at 7 am today because I need to get out an hour early. Today will be busy. We have the viewing tonight at 7 pm. I still have to order a spray from "the grandchildren" at the florists during lunch today. Still have to get my dad a gray dress shirt, luckily he has pants. I need to pick up and fold 100 programs, help my mother get ready and then get ready myself. After the viewing I have to come home and make mini cupcakes for the reception tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow will be busy too, since I have to wake up at 8 am and make 100 enchiladas, two tins of Mexican rice, frost the cupcakes, and take all of these to the church where the reception will be held. We have the burial at 1:00 pm, and we might be getting showers between 3 and 4 pm, oh please no rain.
I want this month to go SLOW, and for all of the work to be done on my house before Christmas.
xtine, cancer is awful. I am so sorry.
New blog up for my Dad's bday: http://weinerwhistle.blogspot.com/2011/11/hello-november-happy-birthday-dad.html We had dinner over there last night, then I took my grandmom home up in Warminster.
They cleaned out their attic and sent me home with all of my christening stuff and crocheted clothes my Mom Mom made for me. I will be doing a lot of gentle wash and packing away this weekend.
I got MFD all set for FL using 25k miles and $250. I'm glad it's done. He leaves tomorrow morning at 6:30 am. Return Saturday morning at 6 a.m. I also booked the hotel room, him and his good sister are sharing a room.
His parents and good sister are driving and leave today. Possibly his bro too, I don't know. Moneybags Psycho sister is supposedly flying. She also booked a room for three nights. His cousin and my good friend is not going due to her ex not helping with the kids/work/cash, and she's like are you kidding me Psycho is going and staying that long? Why doesn't she use that $1000 to buy clothes and food for her kids. It's really insane. I can't take it. Who is on welfare for 10 years and hasn't worked in 10 years but can drop a grand on a trip to FL? What am I doing wrong?
I put veggie beef barley soup in the crock last night at 10:30 after I sauteed the onions, garlic and shrooms and browned the meat. I got to sleep after 12:30. I am exhausted.
Today is zumba day! I also need to kick some butt at work and stop off at Pathmark on the way home.
Deb - I'm thinking if you today. I'd like to think keeping busy will help you get through but everybody is different. Good luck with all you need to get done.
Steph - When you talk about MFD's good sister I have "Are you a good witch or a bad witch?" from the Wizard of Oz running through my head. In Glinda's high-pitched fairy voice.
Had to take a trip to the pediatric allergist yesterday for Baby Q. I really like the doctor but we were there for TWO HOURS. They did skin testing for 10 environmental allergens and 10 food allergens. The food panel came back clean but he does have a sensitivity to dogs. The doctor kept using the word sensitivity rather than allergic so I'm going with that and assuming that it's not as bad as it could be. We already have the nursery gated to keep the animals out, but it looks like I'll be vaccuuming the tv/rec room on a daily basis going forward to minimize contact.
After the doc we went home, fed Baby Q, went to the home surplus store to look for a new front door (fail). K took me and baby home then went to look at Lowe's for a door and pick up sandwiches while I fed the baby and put him to bed. I ate the sandwich after K got home and fell asleep on the couch before 8:00. I must be getting sick with being so tired and now this morning my throat is sore. Frack.
Glad he's able to get there and be with the family!
And yes, don't you just love family members that seem to have the system all worked out and use it to their every advantage EXCEPT getting on their own two feet.
Ditto!! Hugs to you!
Debbie, good luck and hang in there tonight and tomorrow. Funerals are le suck.
Mary, glad you feel better about the GD! Also, agreed on the aholes who can work the system for everything except living independently.
Misty - 10 inches of snow? Bullocks. New tires, grand!
Megan - I have hated most bridesmaid dresses. A pox on all of them. That's why I let my girls pick their own, and half of them wore one and half of them wore the other.
SusieQ-hahahahha good witch bad witch. Hopefully the bad witch will be eaten by a shark in FL and we won't have to speak of her again.
