Happy Thursday!
Good morning all.
I haven't left the house yet, and that's kind of nice. I've got my regular doctor's apt at 9, so instead of going in to the office for 8, then leaving again at 8:30, I opted to enjoy a bit of extra time in bed and a nice leisurely morning.
Derek's new job is making him quite tired, so last night was another low key/in bed by 9:30 kind of night. I read for about an hour while he snored softely beside me. Clearly he needs the sleep!
Tonight I expect much of the same. I need to hit up the grocery store to get the rest of whatever we're having for dinner (that's still TBD) and then hopefully get started on the mountain of laundry that's waiting for me.
How is everyone today?
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

kaesha, I hope things improve for you. She sounds like a piece of work.
I was later at work yesterday than expected, so no real time to do anything last night other than cook dinner, eat, and then do some prep for dinner tonight. I hope tonight won't be another late one, but I think it might be. Mostly because my boss won't get around to reviewing something until late this afternoon, and then expect me to stay to finish up. Very annoying.
Anyways, it was nice to start my day with another workout, and then I just went to a lunchtime piano recital. So the day isn't all bad!
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
Last night I got in a good workout and did the normal routine. Dh had to meet with out contractor las night so he was late getting home last night. I caught up on my shows.
Tonight will be much of the same. I have to make brownies for Jordan's valentines day party at school and I am going to make some for Preston's daycare. We also have to do valentines tonight for Jordan's class. His party is tomorrow.
Morning, all. Well, our event at work yesterday was a disaster. I was almost giddy--the mistake wasn't on our end, but I hope it makes my boss think twice before accepting a task that's clearly outside of the team's function. But my coworkers aren't helping by wanting to sit down and discuss the next event.
After work, I met up with some friends and saw The Woman in Black. Creepier than the book, for sure.
Tonight I have my writing class. I need to get out for lunch and do the rest of my homework, which I wasn't able to do last night thanks to having to stay late for one last special request. And today's my Friday since I had to come in on my flex day. I don't think I'll be very productive today.
Hope everyone has a good one.
Vibes, kaesha. She definitely sounds crazy.
I had a quiet evening. By the afternoon yesterday I wasn't feeling all that well. I didn't feel terrible but I could feel a sore throat starting. So I decided that last night would be another quiet night. I cooked dinner and then spent most of the rest of the night on the couch.
Today should be a quiet day at work. I'm getting lunch with some friends. One of them just accepted a new job so we'll be celebrating. Then tonight should be another quiet night. Have a great day!
Good luck kaesha!
Last night was a rough one, I was up with G most of the night. Teething is not fun! Poor baby was in so much pain. I'm exhausted, but am a horrible mapper. Hoping I am able to rest a little today or that tonight is better. My bedtime will be 8 like his I think.
We are just hanging out at home today. We had a big outing yesterday so staying here today. It is supposed to be nice so we may bundle up and go for a walk this afternoon.
Have a great day ladies!
Good morning!
@ raynes - yay for extra sleeping in.
@ kaesha - good luck dealing with the crazy.
Nothing much going on here today. We didn't get any snow at all yesterday after that being all they could talk about the night before. This might (knock wood) be a winter completely without bad weather.
I came home last night to a barricade of boxes outside my front door (three boxes from two shipping companies) all full of the things ordered at my kick off party. I had purses and tote bags all over the living room floor last night, sorting them out for customers. It was a lot of fun.
Today I am carrying a new tote, a new wallet and a new skirt for my purse and I am a walking advertisement.

Yesterday was mostly good. We have finally found a doctor here that we like! I am so pleased. She was fantastic. Listened to both of us and understood what we needed and gave us a plan. DH's anxiety was getting out of hand and was getting in the way of his schooling. She really listened to DH and was thorough. She spent 45 minutes with us. I am just so pleased that she was so good to us, DH confidence in doctors listening and understand was so low and she really proved that she genuinely cared about taking good care of him.
I am still feeling sick but I am definitely better than I was yesterday. I am hoping to get in a good workout today and possibly get a few knitting projects done too.
(I also wanted to apologize for being a bit grumpy in yesterdays water post, DH's anxiety has been VERY difficult for me to deal with lately, it has been very hard and my patients just isn't want it normally is.)
Kaehsa - She does sound like a piece of work. Good luck dealing with her.
My night was pretty easy. Thankfully my mom was there to help with the boys lastnight. This cold is kicking my butt. I probably should have stayed home today (the boys are at DC today so I could have slept), but there is so much to do here, I couldn't do it. What an idiot I am.
Today is weigh in day, and I think I ate too many unheathy snacks this weekend. Ugh, oh well I need the reality check to keep me in check.
Tonight, DH is home, so I am hoping to be in bed early again, and hopefully wake up feeling like a real person again.
Have a great day ladies.
@ Rebaann what is a purse skirt?
I am excited for today. I'm having a birthday lunch with some friends. I picked up some cupcakes to share and a pair of earrings for my friend.
I hope she likes them.
Tonight is a late night at work we are having a marketing event to get more local people interested in us. Lately we've done a lot of work out of state.
Personally I am tired of studying, I think one of my study books I bought is missing some pieces so I'm trying to find out. I received 7 pages of empty drawings to do my practice test but no answers, at all. The description of the book says 100 pages and solutions.
So I contacted the company. I've also become addicted to Sherlock Holmes stories. I need to put the books down and study more.
Morning everyone. Yesterday evening was kind of a strange one. B was really craving cheese fries for dinner. You would think he's the PG one. So we looked on Yelp and Grubhub, but there are very few restaurants in all of Chicago that serve them. It was all very bizarre. Finally at 8:00, I put my foot down and had humus and pita and some left over chicken for dinner and left B to fend for himself.
Today should be a fairly normal day. Things at work are starting to heat up, so I need to dig in and stay focused. Tonight, I'm hoping to walk on the treadmill while watching tv, and then crawl into bed somewhat early.
Kaesha, good luck with everything at work.
Carrot, I'm glad you guys finally found a doctor you like.
Good morning!
kaesha, good luck dealing with that CW.
reba - good job with the kickoff party stuff!
It's been a busy week so far so I think I'll be staying home today and tomorrow (except for grocery shopping either tonight or tomorrow). Turns out 3 days of activities a week is probably my limit before I need the time at home to do laundry

Good Morning, I figured I would try to start posted more so here we go.
Last night for us was very low key. I put off again starting our kitchen cabinets. I am slowly refinishing them. I really need to at least get the top ones done this weekend. We are hosting our nephews first birthday on the 17th. Tonight is DH bowling night so I will hopefully get a lot done.
Work this week has been rather stressful so I am not looking forward to the next three days of it but I will get through it. I am ready to start the hunt for a new one. 4.5 years in retail photography I feel maybe my limit to remain sane!
Hope everyone has a great day!
Good morning, ladies.
I'm just feeling off today. Bad experience at the Y yesterday, and a rough night at home, so when the alarm went off I just said no. I didn't go to boot camp, and I just don't giveadamn today. ugh. And tomorrow we have our one-on-one meetings with the management we may or may not be working for from the company that bought us - we still don't know who will be offered jobs in the new organization. But they insist is 'isn't an interview'. Well, sounds like an interview to me - for my own job.
Sorry to be a downer - have a great day, everyone!
Don't even worry about it! We don't always have to agree.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?
good morning!
Reba - good luck with the kickoff party!
kaesha - vibes for dealing with crazies =/
we had a low key night last night - Sean made egg sandwiches for dinner (nom) and we caught up on some TV. he did some homework and then we watched last night's Top Chef. I was totally surprised by who won Last Chance Kitchen, and definitely saddened by the one who went home.
tonight will probably be similar - I really need to get some energy to clean, but all I want to do is lay around like a slug.

Kaesha - good luck dealing with your CW.
LesPaul - Hope your day gets better.
Good morning! I'm draggin butt today and I have a long day ahead of me. Last night I worked until 7:30 getting stuff set up for our party at work today. By the time I got home it was 8:30 so we grabbed a quick dinner and then I had to fold 100 favor boxes for our candy buffet and ironed all the table cloths.
Today I'll be setting up the rest of the party stuff and getting all the food prepared. The party starts at five tonight and goes until 8:00 so it will be another late work night. Have a great day ladies!
My long-awaited girl's night is finally happening. So excited to go out tonight. DH jumped me this morning as I was trying to leave the house. He's apparently fed up with my jeans/sweats/tshirt look on a daily basis. Unfortunately for him, I don't have any reason to wear my nice work clothes just so I can get puked on by a baby or covered in dog fur.
I won't be watching Grey's tonight, so I'm sort of hoping for a rerun or catching it online tomorrow night. Fridays are usually a slow TV night, so we'll see.

After school I am meeting a friend for coffee (and a scone...this place has awesome scones). Then home for dinner....which may end up being takeout depending on how long I'm out for coffee...

Good morning... well, it's morning.
I had an awful night last night. Izaac woke up at midnight screaming because he was having bad dreams so I brought him in bed with me to sleep. Then, at 3am I woke to the sound of Gibson throwing up in my bed. Great. So I cleaned up, had to wake Izaac so I could rip the sheets off my bed and throw them in the laundry. Then gave Gibson a bath and put him back to bed. It seemed like 8am came too fast today. I called the school as soon as I woke up and now the boys seem fine and I'm the one who feels ill. Ugh. I'll be eating some gravol today and cleaning my house. Gotta try and sanitize it a little bit at least.
Yesterday was also about as good as my night. One of the moms at school decided to call me an ignorant b**** and walk away from me because I didn't agree with her on something that was so miniscule. I didn't answer my phone all day and just ignored everyone until Russ called. I doubt today will be any better, but it can't be any worse than yesterday.
kaesha: good luck in dealing with that crazy lady at work.
Reba: The skirt purse sounds really cool. I wouldn't mind checking out some of your stuff, can you send a link?
carrot: I'm glad you found a doctor who listens. I know how hard it is to find the right one.
Last night was pretty uneventful, just a regular school night. I went and visited my sister and niece after then just came home. H slept from about 11 to 6. Woo hoo! I'm hoping we keep this trend up.
Today I'm going to have lunch with my sister, it's been so nice being able to do these types of things while I'm off. Tonight won't be anything spectacular, probably just hang out at home. Have a lovely day ladies!
Good morning ladies. Another day, another sleepless night. Sorta. DH is feeling better so he helped once it had been an hour of crying and not wanting to go to sleep. I want my good sleeping baby back.
Today I'm meeting a friend for lunch. I don't want to do anything tonight except fold the laundry that's been sitting in a basket for too long and relax with my family. I'm so exhausted I'm surprised I haven't collapsed yet. I forgot to take out anything for dinner so we will have a lazy dinner with whatever I can find.
I can't wait for the weekend to try to get some rest.
I sent you a PM.

Last night I did hot yoga, it was nice to get back into working out. I did a lot of homework last night but forgot the one thing that was due. Today it is class and homework, I have a couple of test next week. I am also going to talk to my advisor because now I am leaning towards a Masters in Sociology.
@lespaul I hope your day gets better
@kathy feel better
@carrotflower I am glad you found a doctor you like.
Afternoon Ladies! I spent the day at a training, and enjoyed a nice break from being at school. I think the unseasonably warm weather has given the kids Spring Fever about 2 months early. I talked to my sub, and apparently the kids were awful, so now I have to deal with them tomorrow.
I've been fighting a cold since Saturday, and just plan on going to bed early tonight.
Hello ladies!
I'm tired. It's hard to sleep these last few weeks from what I hear, and it's definitely catching up with me. I'm on campus today just trying to get some homework done, then I have a class to attend tonight from 530-930. Yuck.
But hey, tomorrow is Friday right?
And Sunday we are finishing up the nursery (hopefully).
Hello all.
Last night I did not sleep very well. I was up about every hour and just had work worries on my mind. Since I wasn't going to sleep anyways, I made sure to get up and get to the gym.
Work wasn't too bad. I'm at the smaller hospital and since it's only 4 floors, I never take the elevators but it's starting to get a bit difficult. I can run 5 miles but make me walk up a few flights of stairs and I'm going to have Braxton Hicks. I'm out at that hospital again tomorrow and plan on getting to bed early tonight and taking tomorrow off exercise so that I can rest up a bit.
We're going to a special sale at the car dealership tomorrow after work and will hopefully will be leaving with a new Journey.
Have a good night.
