At least it's not actually Monday?
I so want to be back in bed, but at least my boss isn't here today, so I don't have to be 100% efficient.
Derek played video games all day yesterday. Literally. He got up around 11:30, started playing at noon for "one hour!" and I found him curled up on the floor with the game paused and the controller beside his hand at 5:30 this morning. Silly boy.
I was less productive than I'd wanted to be yesterday, but I don't really care!
How is everyone today? As excited to be back at work as I am??

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

Re: Happy Tuesday!
Oh yeah, so excited to be back at work. Ugh. I started coming down with a cold yesterday and it's not any better today. Complete with headache, scratchy throat, runny nose and nausea. Like you raynes, my boss isn't here today, so I'm hoping to head home early in a few hours.
I did manage to be somewhat productive yesterday. We took down all our Christmas decorations and cleaned up, went to the gym, I uploaded and labelled our pics from the holidays, and did the monthly meal plan and placed a grocery order. Pretty much everything else other than doing my taxes! Haha.
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
Happy Tuesday ladies!
Oh Raynes, my DH has times like that too, and I just don't get is. Ha ha.
So I am back to work, but today is only a 1/2 day for me. I have to go for my flup mammogram, and possibly u/s to make sure that a cyst/tumor type thing has not grown over the past 6 months. I have been really good about not thinking about it, but today I am a little nervous. It is what it is, however I pray it hasn't grown. Ugh
I was actually pretty productive yesterday. DH and I got a lot of cleaning done in the morning, and I did most of the laundry, and cleaned up our room, and the boys room.
Well I should probably get back to work since it is only 1/2 day. Have a great day ladies.
Good morning. I'm attempting to find some motivation to get started on the projects that I have, but it's not working out well for me. I'm still staring at my email screen. My personal email screen. :P
Yesterday was uneventful. I parked myself on the couch all day and finished my first book of the year while sneezing. Today seems to be better--whatever this is, so far it's not developing into anything big. We did get laundry done, so at least I accomplished something.
Tonight I'm hoping to get to the gym. Other than that, survive until vacation (yes, I'm taking a very blah attitude towards work!
).
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
I am back at work...and less than thrilled. Dh starts back tonight so its back to normal for us. Jordan goes back to school on Thursday so we are going to have a couple of days to adjust before being complelty thrown back in again.
Our new years resolution is to continue our meal planning and get better at it. We made our menu for the next 2 weeks and went grocery shopping yesterday. I feel so relived knowing what we are going to have for the next 2 weeks. I paid bills yesterday and then spent the afternoon playing with the boys while DH went hunting.
Jordan is spending the night with my grandmother tonight and staying with her tomorrow for his last day of winter break. I am planning on cleaning his room and organizing some of the stuff he got for christmas, and I will probably go to bed early .
Hey ladies! I'm back in town and back to work. I've been trying to get caught up with my nesting quickly this morning. Congrats to mandee and charity!
This week should be fairly quiet for me at work. I anticipate that everyone will be busy playing catch up and will stay in their own offices. I'm hoping that today I can get to the store to restock our kitchen and get in a good workout. I also would really like to get all of the Christmas decorations down.
Oh, I'm just thrilled to be back at work. At least I have a lot of catching up to do so maybe the week will go by fast.
I got a ton of stuff done yesterday - got the second Christmas tree down, finished painting our bedroom and put together the new pub set for the kitchen.

I might be in the minority of actually being glad to be back at work. I mean, the alternative of sleeping with no baby and husband at home is better, but that would never happen. So, I'll take the quiet time at my desk and surfing the web.
Congrats to Mandee on the BFP, Charity on the arrival of Miss Hayden, ECHC on having a GIRL (I knew it!) and anything else I might have missed. Sorry.
Feel better Myles, FX for you Kat..I'm sure it's nothing and get well soon wishes to anyone else under the weather. The cold for this year is such a freakin doozy.
I was out of work for 2 weeks, mostly spent screaming at DH and wishing I could finally freakin sleep. No such luck. I finally slept in the basement last night around 3:00 and let Jackson cry himself back to sleep. I couldn' t take it anymore. DH said that he fell asleep 2 minutes after I moved, so who knows what's going on.
We don't get students back at work for 2 more weeks, and it should be super laid back and quiet. Thank goodness, because I finally started on pinterest. Yowsa what a time suck.
My project for the week/weekend is to get in a date night with the hubs and rehem some curtains that are all wonky in our living room. Thank you mom for the new sewing machine!
Morning everyone. I actually wish I were at work today. Casey isn't eating, drinking, or standing on his own, so back to the vet today. Because he is so big, it takes both B and I to get him up and into the car for his visit. So I'll be working at home today, and I will need to buckle down and get stuff done. The past 4 days of not working at all have been wonderful, but now I need to get back to the grind.
Hope everyone has a good day today. Thinking about you Kat. Let us know how the appt goes.
good morning ladies!
I should be getting a call from my doctor's office today with the results of my BW. I took girl-23's suggestion and bought a digital test yesterday and sure enough, it says I'm KU.
I am exhausted today. after being on Ambien and other sleep aids for so long, it's a little rough trying to sleep without them. no biggie though, I'm sure it'll just take time for my body to realize it needs to sleep on it's own. it's weird that I actually feel pregnant this early - I've been slightly nauseous and fatigued over the last few days.
we're debating on whether or not to tell our parents now (after we get the blood test confirmed) or to wait until at least 8 weeks. it's really difficult to not tell my dad, considering I see him every single day at work. =/
I hope everyone who is sick feels better, including Casey! FX for you Kat!

Neptoon - Sending T&P's for Casey.
Good morning! Back to work for me too, ugh! Yesterday I worked my butt off taking down the Christmas decorations, cleaning the house, and preparing our guest room for J's friend (and his dog). I was completely exhausted last night and more than I little annoyed we J's friend called and said he wasn't coming after all. Errr! Oh well the cleaning and the undecorating needed to be done regardless.
Today should be another busy day at the office with all the year end wrap up stuff and opening all the new files and accounts for the new year. I'm hoping to get to the grocery store tonight and get in a good workout.
Neptoon - Thinking of Casey, and hoping everything is ok. Please keep us posted.
Mandee - please keep us posted.
Thanks for all the FX ladies. I will let you know how it turns out.
Good morning!
This is my second day back at work and so far so good. Nothing much going on here, at least until next week. Last night DH and I spent all evening playing video games with some close friends so this morning I was not happy I had to get up early for work. On the bright side I get to leave by one.
Tonight I hope to get some minor cleaning done around the house and put away some clothes I washed since Saturday. I know I'm totally lazy.
Neptoon - I hope Casey is okay! Kat - hope your appt. goes well.
We had a good weekend, pretty relaxing. We tackled organizing the garage yesterday which was nice. I can finally see what all we have.
I don't want to be in the office today, but that's pretty much par for course.
Good luck Kat and Mandee!
I'm not happy about being back at work after my vacation especially coming in to deal with people's stupidity. I woke up with a really painful sore throat and back pain.
My out of office voice mail gave clear instructions about what to do in urgent matters but instead, I have a voice mail waiting for me about an employee who was injured at work, and one who resigned. Now we are non compliant and I have to deal with stuff that my coworker could have dealt with last week. I'm pretty p'd off.
Anyway, we also took down our tree and decorations yesterday so I was somewhat productive. I'm going grocery shopping tonight so I need to plan lunch and dinners for this week because my resolution is to eat out less and bring lunch every day. It's already a fail because we didn't have food so I didn't bring lunch today. Oh well, I'll have food for the rest of the week at least.
Kat and Mandee--FX and hoping for great news for both of you!
I was nervous about going back to work today, but actually being there was really good. I am exhausted, but I felt less sick than I have in the last few days!
Also, I talked to my doctor (now former doctor) today...my u/s last week was good and now I have to change practices since she isn't going to be doing any OB now that the local hospital is closing the birthing center. Boo. But YAY, I made my first appointment at the new practice for next Monday. I am feeling guilty because I have to take a second day in a row off of work (conference on Friday) since they had no afternoon openings, but my kids will be fine--fortunately we are doing a research project right now, so they all have individual work that they need to do anyway.
BFP 5/2/11, missed m/c, D&C 6/13/11
BFP 12/8/11--Little Girl E Born 8/22/12
Today was a typical busy work day. Thanfully I didn't get any pages on call last night and got up at 5am to work out before work. And I got to leave on time!
I'm late getting online tonight because I was on the phone for about half an hour with the vet about Winston. Since we have the video of him marking, we talked about his pattern, time of day and more possible behavioural solutions.
Today at work I acutally got called out by 2 strangers about my pregnancy! Yay, I love that I LOOK pregnant now.
