Good Morning!

I slept much better last night.  I think I was up 3 times to pee, but hey, that was on my own terms, so whatever.  I totally fell asleep on the couch while reading.  Full on book droppage and everything.  AND, I got the laundry put away.  Well, most of it.

Nothing big on the go tonight.  I think I'm going to have to work to motivate Derek to get some work done.  Last night was a video game night for him.  Not tonight, I say.  Tonight, we will get.thing.done.

How is everyone today?

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

Re: Good Morning!

  • Glad you slept better last night.   I slept better, as well.  I spent much of the night with a heating pad rotating between my back and neck and had DH give my some rubbing so I felt much better.

    I got to the gym this morning for a run and I'm just heading off to work now.  I think I might stop by babies r u after work to see if they have the maternity belt I'm looking for but otherwise I hope for a low key evening and hope work is uneventful.

  • Good morning! 

    I'm working on a project at work that is giving me the biggest headache...literally.  I felt so ill all yesterday and I've been back in the office for 30 minutes and the migraine is already coming back on.  Ugh.  I went to yoga last night and that helped me feel better.  Tonight I have to get a bunch of moving-related errands done, and H is out of town again - in Miami, lucky jerk! - so I'm on my own. 

    Anyway, hope everyone has a better day than I'm about to have Tongue Tied

  • Good Morning!

    Last night was nice and quite and I fell asleep on the couch at 9.

    I am listening to the local radio station for the next few days to try to win some rodeo tickets. Jordan wants to go but the tickets are outrageous this year.

    Tonight be like last night. I cleaned up this morning so I only have a little to do this afternoon and an easy dinner to fix.

  • Good morning! Back to work for me--seems like it was something of a busy day yesterday, so I'm guessing I'll be slammed today. Oh well.

    Yesterday I managed to get in a five-mile run, do some reading for the review website, and get some writing done. Josh came home, I made dinner (!!) and then we called it a night. Today after work my team is going out for drinks and dinner, so that should be fun.

  • Good morning!  Last night I participated in my first ever Twitter party.  It was a lot of fun, but it moved so fast that I had a hard time keeping up.  At the end, they said there were over 900 people participating.

    Tonight, I have to go to the grocery on the way home since that didn't happen this weekend.  I have no idea what I'm going to cook tonight, so I'll take suggestions.  Other than that, not much is going on.

  • Nothing too exciting here. Last night we both worked out, then we ate dinner and watched some TV. Tonight I'm hoping for some of the same. I also have a little bit of cooking that I'd like to do this evening. Otherwise today should be fairly uneventful. 
  • Good morning, ladies.

    I got home from work at 7:30, worked on my scarf a little, then went to bed.  I'm sleeping much better, just not long enough.

    We've entered the annual argument with DH's exW about who is going to claim the children as dependents on our tax returns.  The decree says one each - reasonably fair.  She always wants to claim both because it's 'better for her'.  Well of course it's better to get both of them, but it costs us thousands to give up the exemption and college costs.  The past 2 years DH has rolled over and let her take them both just to shut her up.  I'm so sick of him giving and her taking - that b!tch makes my blood boil.

    Have a great day everyone!

  • Good Morning Ladies,

    Les - That sucks about his ex, hopefully you guys can stick to your guns and claim one on your taxes as well.

    I had a fairly good sleep last night, although this cold is really starting to get on my nerves. I am already looking forward to the weekend but that is more because AF should be done by then.

    This evening DH has class so I am not sure what I will make for dinner, I'll probably just do lunch-meat wraps with cucumber cream-cheese and some chipotle sauce. Probably try to make it to the gym too.

  • Good morning!

    Last night between working late and traffic being terrible due to several stoplights being out we didn't get home until pretty late, so we had a quick dinner and I took a bubble bath and read.

    No major plans for tonight either. I have soup in the Crockpot and I'm hoping to get a work out in. Is it Friday yet?

  • Morning ladies.

    Yesterday I worked late. Again when I got home, the boys were already eating dinner. (I really hate that, as I enjoy sitting down and eating with them every night).  Things are just so crazy at work, I feel like I can't keep up, and to top it off I think they should be communicating the 2 people who will lose their jobs by the end of next week.  So I sit on the edge of my seat, hoping I don't get the tap on the shoulder.

    Tonight DH is working again and because it is a DC day, I will get to have dinner with the boys. I plan on going to bed early again and hopefully kicking the rest of this cold's butt. 

    Have a great day ladies.

  • Good morning. I out my new bed together yesterday. That son a b took to damn hours to figure out! It was a royal pain, but I was able to get into bed without waking Izaac up last night so it was worth it. I also cleaned my house yesterday and polished my floors. Not bad considering I feel like death. I have this nasty cold and have been taking a lot of buckleys to try and rid myself of it before Russ comes home. I'm not too sure what to do today. I was thinking maybe I should run to the store and pick up the stuff I need to make something for Gibson's bake sale at school and maybe grab some jumbo playing cards and stuff to make these for my bff's bridal shower. But I might not too. I may just veg on the couch all day with Izaac and watch teletoon retro. It's a toss up.

    Have a great day everyone!

  • I have the day off today so we went and got our taxes done this morning and now I am prepping to have my in-laws over for dinner tonight.

    would you be happy with this menu?

    Herb marinated Pork Chops

    Scolloped Potatoes

    Corn

    Chocolate Crinkle Cookies for dessert

  • LesPaul - You're not alone, we face that battle every year as well even with it clearly spelled out in the custody agreement. Thankfully he was never married to the woman!

    I'm exhausted. We ended up eating dinner super late because DH usually lets me know when he's on his way home and he didn't.

    Barbett, that sounds yummy but maybe add a salad?

    Good morning all! Today we have swimming class. It's snowing right now and I'm hoping it clears up before we have to head out.

  • Morning ladies. G and I are hanging out at home today. I'm trying to get this napping thing down...he isn't a fan!

  • LesPaul- Stick to your guns! She sounds like a major PIA.

    Wanderful!- yeah for a quiet bed and putting it together yourself. Sometimes directions can be so frustrating. 

    Barbett- sounds good to me. I love pork chops. :)

    I'm feeling down today. I have a lot on my mind about future goals, Dh's job change. His interview went well yesterday. I'm hoping to go for a walk this evening and maybe sort through my thoughts. I think the sunshine will do me good too. It's been so grey here that it makes me blue.

  • I have another crazy day of classes and work. This new schedule is going to be the death of me.  I get up do homework, go to class, do homework, go work, come home and do homework.  I have two tests this week also (boo).

    I think I am going to start to apply for jobs but I am not sure if it is to early.

  • Hey ladies!  I am excited today (see above post) to be planning a trip again :)  Other than that, nothing big here, just settling into the new job.

    Now jumping domestically.

    Well that was a crazy couple of years.

  • Good morning ladies. Last night I went to a spinning class at the gym. I am so sore today but it was a great workout. I plan to go two times a week for now.

    Tonight will hopefully be low key. DH will be home early so he'll help with dinner. I'll probably do some laundry and do a little bit of reading. Have a good day ladies.

  • I'm tired. We spent 5 hours at Children's yesterday seeing doctors. Edmund had his hearing test done and we found out that he has temporary hearing loss due to fluid in his ears and because of that we will have to have tubes inserted when they do his palate repair. Other than that he is looking great. I felt terrible yesterday because I had noticed that he didn't seem to be hearing higher octaves but I didn't think anything of it. 

    I'm getting my hair done today for the first time in almost a year and I'm excited. Hopefully this girl is as good as everyone says she is.

  • Finally checking in today. Not because I'm busy at work, but I got sucked into Pinterest today and then took a nice lunch with friends. Yup. Day in the life.

    Tonight will be finishing up a crochet hat I started last night. I love that it goes so much faster than knitting, at least for me. Then I'll probably read and watch some more Sex & The City reruns, maybe some trashy TV, and sleep. I'm trying to get Jackson used to putting himself to sleep, and it's been awful. Plus, DH isn't getting home until super late, so it's just me and the babies for the night.

  • I'm late to the party! I was at a seminar all day on teaching controversial and sensitive texts. It was really interesting, but it's also something that I'm already on board with, so I almost wish other teachers who AREN'T on board were there instead of me. I have to give a little round-up speech at the next staff meeting about it, so go me.

    Anyway, I'm home now (I ducked out 30 minutes early), awaiting a telephone interview/care something something from my OB's office. They want me to come in on Thursday morning all day for a meet and greet, except I'm leading a field trip to the CN Tower that day that I couldn't get out of. They aren't going to be pleased, especially because we've been playing telephone tag for the past 2 weeks. Honestly though, it's not like I have the luxury of a job that allows me to take phone calls during working hours. And they only have hours until 2:45 usually. Not so helpful.
