Happy Tuesday. How is it only Tuesday? I feel like it should be later.
Last night was low key, which was very much needed. We did manage to get our bed moved into the new master, which is fun. The cats were a little confused. Now Derek can get to work finishing up the other room, then we can finally start moving things into their final places and realllllly get the nursery going!
How is everyone today?

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

Re: Good Morning!
Raynes- I can't wait to see pictures of all the renovations at your house!
Last night was good we had left overs and I got my hair cut. I am still not so sure about it, but hopefully it will grow on me. I am super proud of myself for working outot in front of DH. I am so embarassed to work out in front of him normally i skip the nights he is at home, but I have really dedicated myself to this workout video and eating better. I wasn't going to let him being at home last night mess that up.
Tonight I will have to cook dinner and study spelling words with Jordan. We also have someone coming to look at our trailer tonight that is intrested in buying it.Fingers crossed. Then workout and relax.
Good morning!
Last night was pretty low key. After the boys went to bed, I watched the movie 50/50. Thank god I did not go with my team from work to watch it when it was in the theatre. (we always do after work outings to the movies when Anna Kendrick is in a movie, per her mom's request, lol). I cried uncontrollably over it. So if any of you haven't seen it and are planning on it, have the tissues ready.
DH is working again tonight so it will be lots of mama tonight, and probably a load of laundry.
Have a great day ladies.
crystal - good for you, keep up the good work. I used to be self conscious about doing the video workouts in front of DH as well. I still prefer to be by myself, but don't mind so much now.
I'm still jetlagged, so woke up at 5am again this morning. But gave me time to do a workout, eat breakfast with DH, check emails and slowly get ready before getting into work early, so I actually kind of like it! I have drinks with coworkers tonight, which should be fun, and then I should try to talk to my mom when I get home.

Good morning! I agree that it feels like it should be well past Tuesday. I'm ready for another weekend.
Last night was pretty low key and we went to bed at a reasonable hour. I'm hoping that I feel more rested today. So far, so good, but we'll see how I feel by about 3pm. We don't have any major plans again tonight. I'm just happy that some of the TV shows are beginning to show new episodes again.
Crystal, way to go on the workout!
I'm pretty sure Darian is teething. He's been extra fussy the last cpurple of days and sleeping terribly. Thank goodness for Tylenol. I hope he pops them soon but I will miss his gummy grin.
Swimming class this afternoon! When I get my camera back from my friend, I need to get a good pic. He looks adorable in his little wetsuit, especially when I lay him on a kick board, just like a little surfer

Hugs, snoopy. I'm right there with you. I hope you're able to break your funk soon.
Hi, all. Nothing much over here--work has been exhausting, I'm still planning this event (it's tomorrow), and I've polished up my resume and am officially job hunting right now. There's also a freelance gig that might be in the works. Hell, if it tops out at 40 hours per week for the next few months, I might take it and leave this place.
Bright spots have been Josh and our book review website. Last night we met Dagoberto Gilb, a Mexican American author whose latest collection of short stories is just wonderful. He loved our website's review and we chatted for a while. He told us to email him, though I'm not sure I could say anything that didn't sound fan-girlish!
Good morning, ladies.
I'm feeling great - a full month of consistent exercise in the morning is starting to pay off. I'm still waiting for some inches to drop off, but that will come.
Have a great day, everyone!
Yesterday was a weird day all the way around, but hopefully today will be better.
My sister emailed me this morning with a possible lead for a big sale (they are looking for gifts for the board member's wives at her work) that would make up for my cancelled party yesterday. It's not a done deal, but definitely has the potential to be a great connection. I'm going to give my sister a stack of the mini catalogs and just let her keep them at her desk to hand to folks - she's my best sales lead so far.

Eva, glad to hear you're feeling better.
Yesterday, was fairly low key. B and I took a trip to Costco after work, and then booked our excursions for our upcoming cruise. The vacation countdown is officially on. Then I watched Smash. I think it could be interesting, but I'm curious to see how long it can hold my interest. Anyone else watch?
Today should be a fairly normal work day followed by some time with the treadmill and an otherwise relaxing evening. Now that I'm not feeling sick or tired all the time, I think it's time to get in some exercise.
Snoopy and Chica, hope you snap out of your funks soon. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
good morning!
I met with our accountant last night to file our taxes. of course, I forgot my mortgage tax info, so I have to track that down. we will be getting a hefty refund back this year, which is a wonderful change from owing $5k last year.
oh! I also signed Sean & myself up for a cloth diapering workshop in May. of course, he thinks it's silly, but I would like to be more informed than I am... and reading stuff on the internet just confuses me. I think it'll really help to use the diapers in person and find out which ones may work best for us.
tonight I'm finally going to get my haircut. I haven't touched my hair since last June. eeks!

Good morning!
Way to go Crystal! -- Hugs for Snoopy and Chica. -- Good luck Reba!
Last night I ended up working late and was not in the mood to cook or workout so J and I grabbed a quick fast food dinner. After we got home I spent over an hour on the phone with J's mom trying to walk her through adding me to their family cell phone plan, it was painful but we got it done and I'm thankful that my cell bill will be a lot cheaper.
Tonight I'm hoping to get out of work at a decent time, make a good healthy dinner, and get some time in on the treadmill.
I ordered one from Cotton Babies when they had the BumGenius seconds, just so I could see how the pocket and the snaps worked. I'm not a very good a seeing printed things in my head. I need to actually hold one.

Good morning ladies. I'm sick with a bad cold that I just can't shake. I was out sick yesterday and came in to work but I'm fairly certain I won't make it to the end of the day. DH and Olivia are sick too so not only am I sick, bu I'm taking care of two sick babies.
Anyway I'm very likely going to pick up something for dinner on the way home because I just don't have the energy to take care of the three of us while cooking and cleaning. I really hope we're all better soon because I'm exhausted.
Hello all.
I was hoping to get out of work early today but that didn't work. I was feeling a bit nauseous off and on and was just grumpy in general.
I finally got my scheduling issue resolved for next week so that i won't be working 8 days in a row. The hilarious part is that the lady who has strung me along for 2 weeks saying she might work my shift (and then I ended up just getting someone else) had the nerve to ask me to work an extra Saturday for her in a couple weeks because she just found out her daughter has some sort of game that day. Seriously? You just kept me on the hook for 2 weeks saying you would work my shift (and you're the one who offered) and then you back out and expect me to jump to help you?!?!? When I told her I didn't need her next Thursday because I found someone else, she was relieved because she has a hair appointment that day and would have had to move it.
Last night we went to our friends to hang out and I was so tired for work this morning. I'm taking this as my off day from working out and I think I'll just be lazy with DH tonight.
