Ten Things Tuesday
1) I getting my hair colored tomorrow finally.
2) I had the best grilled cheese yesterday. I brought home half to eat it today for lunch but I was kind and gave it to DH instead.
3) I think my mom gene is finally starting to develop.
4) #3 makes me nervous and excited all at the same time.
5) I work the next four days and then I get a 3 day weekend!!
6) I am anxiously for the weather to warm up so I can spend more time outside. There is a great park within walking distance of our house.
7) My sister announced she was coming to stay with us for 2 weeks. She is not a great house guest so I am not sure how I feel about this.
8) Snow I don't mind but this wintery mix ice business, no thank you.
9) I want a rug for my living room that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. Finding this is proving pretty difficult.
10) I only have three weeks left of my class and this makes me very happy.
Re: Ten Things Tuesday
I got mine colored last week! That was the first time I have had it colored since my wedding! It looks awesome and I'm so glad to finally get it done again! This is definitely exciting!
You are too nice! I would have saved that delicious sandwich for myself! YUM!
I had this same problem last year. I ended up getting mine at ikea. But I seriously considered a few at Target. Good luck! I hope you find what you are looking for!

1. I really want warm weather!
2. I am sick of the cold. This winter needs to be over.
3. #2 makes me feel pretty wimpy, because we have had such an easy winter!
4. I made skinnytaste.com Chicken Parmesan for dinner last night and it was delicious!
5. I am looking forward to leftovers tonight! (And I never look forward to leftovers)
6. I have a ton of work to do today
7. I am so excited for my vacation!
8. We cruise in 10 days!!!
9. For now I will settle for the warm looking pictures from the cruise website...
10. I need to get to my researching so I can finalize my plans for voting tonight... I don't know who I'm voting for yet...
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
1. DH is out of town until Friday and I'm ready for him to come home already!!
2. I don't know how single parents do it.
3. Peyton is seriously the cutest thing ever.
4. I can't wait to see what Teagan looks like.
5. At the same time I nervous about 2 under 2.
6. I am excited for Tigers baseball.
7. Single game tickets go on sale on Saturday but I'll be at work. I'm hoping I can count on DH to go online right when they go on sale to buy some.
8. As usual, I don't feel like going to work today.
9. I am bummed because I am taking Thursday off of work to craft but the fabric I ordered to slipcover the glider in Teagan's room is all of a sudden on backorder until the end of March!
10. It is supposed to be nice next Wednesday. I am thinking a trip to the zoo may be in order.
8- So exciting!!
10- Good for you for actually researching the people and not just voting to vote or worse voting based just on the ads.
My mom had 3 under 2 (I'm a twin) , lol, and she survived. I am sure you will do great!

All of the adds are negative! I hate it! I have no idea what the candidates actually stand for, I just know that they don't want to vote for each other. I am definitely doing more research...
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
exactly.
1. Yesterday I came home from work and went straight to bed. DH had a heating pad waiting for me.
2. We were going to have eggplant parmesan but he suggested I have soup. Instead, he ran out and got me a pizza (and soup for today and tomorrow). Waking up to an entire pizza on my lap was heavenly.
3. I slept for 11-12 hours.
4. I'm not excited to be doing homework today.
5. I'm also on the bandwagon for hoping warm weather is coming soon (even if we did have a measly winter)
6. Tomorrow I have a quiz. Who schedules a quiz for the week after break? Ugh.
7. I don't like sounding so negative in this post.
8. If I feel well enough by Thursday, an old friend is coming over to catch up in the evening and to see/meet DH. She saw him at the wedding, and stalks him on FB but doesn't actually know him.
9. As soon as I feel better, I want to schedule donating blood. My 8-week mark was on Feb. 18th but I was up north.
10. Less than 48 hours until March? LOVELY.
1. I am so glad to see sunshine this morning. It makes me super happy
2. I know #1 won't last for long because we are going to get some sort of hail/snow/rain thing tonight. I guess this is the quiet before the storm
3. I have a really bad stiff neck today and I am not sure where it came from
4. My parents are coming over for dinner tonight and I am pretty excited, especially since dh is cooking tonight!
5. I have been reading "The Hunger Games" trilogy and it's so good! I'm on the 3rd book and always have a hard time putting it down
6. In reference to #5, I think dh & I are going to see the movie at midnight when it comes out. Kind of lame, but it's something we used to do all the time
7. My friend is moving into a new place on Thursday and she's offering dinner/beer to anyone that wants to help. Part of me really wants to, but the other part is thinking I would rather not be moving crap all afternoon
8. Work is going to be slow today, I can tell....
9. Still no word on the other job... I'm starting to worry
10. I know for SURE it's going to be slow at work, my boss just left.... haha
1. I debated whether to do ten things or not because I am mucho cranky.
2. I am mucho cranky because I am mucho tired.
3. I am mucho tired because my 7.5 month old doesn't believe in sleeping through the night. Not just waking up to eat, either, waking up to just hang out.
4. No, I have not tried letting her cry it out and no I won't be trying that...it's cruel.
5. Super annoyed with DH these days, especially this morning though. He thinks I should just be able to nap during the day and get over my tiredness. I could go on and on and on about how stupid this is and why it doesn't work that way but I will spare you my rant. Let's just say I am on the verge of LOSING IT.
6. I will try to make the last 4 things positive...here goes.
7. My sister got engaged last week and I am so excited for her! This means a trip to Seattle for the wedding which is good because it's going to force us to go and make it a real vacation, woohoo!
8. I get to be the matron of honor, which is good because it gives me a reason to start REALLY TRYING losing weight.
9. My parents are coming for a visit in five weeks! I need to start practicing my patience now (mostly with my dad), but it's worth it!
10. My SIL/BIL volunteered to babysit next weekend so DH and I can have an evening out. Thank God for my SIL...I feel like she is the one member of our family here in Michigan that I can actually count on for support and involvement. Yay!
I finished this series in a week and a half. It is definitely a quick series to read! I am glad you are enjoying them! I love them!
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
I'm sorry to hear that things have been exhausting lately. Hopefully things get better from here! At least you'll have some time to relax this weekend! I hope it helps!
Serendipity3, South Beach, Miami, FL 2012
Thank you! Sympathy is always appreciated
Great series, I can't wait for the movie to come out!
Men.. they just don't get it!!
But YAY for a date night!!!!!
3--Yes she is! I always say it's a good thing they're cute because it makes up for the sleep deprivation!!
10--I would love an outing to the zoo too. I feel like we've barely used our membership. If it's nice, maybe we can meet there! I don't trust Michigan forecasting though so we will have to wait and see!
1. My sister leaves for Kenya in one week. I am ridiculously excited for her!!!
2. I really wanted to take a vacation to see her while she's there (free place to stay, etc), but just couldn't swing it. Part of me feels like I may be passing on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Africa and it makes me sad.
3. But we did decide that if she gets into a residency program out west, we will take a cross-country road trip together with my other sister, and I think that would be SO much fun! So at least I have something to look forward to.
4. I'm the guest speaker at a law school class tomorrow. This seems so weird to me...
5. I've been super stressed about an emergency case all last week and this week.
6. When I get stressed, I think it gives me acid indigestion. Like I get heartburn, bloating, upset stomach every night. I wish my stress did not manifest itself this way.
7. DH promised he was going to seriously get going on applying for jobs this month. He applied for exactly two. I nag him so often about it, it's exhausting! I wish I could just freaking do it for him!!!
8. The worst part about #7 is not knowing where we're going. I know it's still a ways off, but it's stressing me out.
9. I tried to sew myself a shirt this weekend. It didn't turn out very well.
10. I really wish I was better at sewing clothes. Or maybe I just need to lower my expectation of how it's going to turn out. I always have such high hopes...then end up with yet another garment that I will never wear outside the house.
1. I love the sun!
2. Anyone want a whiny almost 4 yr old?
3. I thought she's going to be 4 in 5 days, but lately I wonder if it's going to be 2 instead.
4. DH is coming home Thurs. this week, but he said they're suppose to get a winter storm Wed./Thurs.
5. No, of all weekends, he needs to be home for his daughter's b-day!!
6. Weather.com says: Wed-AM Rain &ice, temp 48, Fri- high of 56, then 37 on Sun.-no wonder we're all sick!
7. I'm tired, I never learn to go to bed early.
8. Glad we're having leftover pizza for dinner, I have no desire to cook today.
9. I have no motivation to do anything, which usually the sun helps me keep motivated.
10. I should call & make a hair appt. for myself & the kids before the gal gets booked up & I get mad at myself for procrastinating.
2. I'm loving that I ran 3.25 miles today.
3. This morning's workout is a bit of encouragement for me to sign up for a 5k.
4. First I have to print a map of the course and drive it, to make sure it's not too hard.
5. I signed dh and I up for a race last year that said it was 'easy'. It was the WORST course we've ever ran. It was very hilly and the last .25mile was ALL uphill.
6. I have so much cleaning to do today. The weekend resulted in little cleaning and lots of mess
7. I wasn't invited to my nephew's baby shower (his girlfriends) that her family and my SIL held for her this weekend. I'm very hurt by this and have been a tad bit passive aggressive and immature about it. I'm considering deleting her from my fb because I've been getting hurt for over a year now. I think I've had enough.
8. I recorded Ben yelling for Tyler over and over and over today on my phone. Today was the first day he was saying "Tyler" super clear.
9. I love when I drop T off and pick him up at school. T and B hug every day at each and other parents are always "awww, they're so cute" "I love that they love each other so much" "He's such a good big brother". Makes my heart happy
10. I can't wait for the weekend. I'm going home to see my family. We're surprising the kids with the Museum of Play (awesome place for kids to just have fun) and meeting their cousins there for the morning/afternoon. We'll spend some time with MIL&FIL and then take my parents out to dinner for my mom's bday. It will be a great weekend!
Getting back to it- my diet and exercise blog
Losing it...Without Losing it
1. I too am very tired today and will be going to bed early.
2. I really just want to find a new house for my FI and I to move into; I'm tired of looking at houses.
3. I do not like most of my newer neighbors and this is resulting in me wanted to move more.
4.My parents typically drive me crazy and are no help at all. This week both randomly have become very helpful.
5. My FI gets his "new" car tonight. His old one was on it's last leg and he's finally found a car to upgrade to.
6. This week I finally have become aware of how close the wedding is getting and how much DIY I have to do.
7. I almost quit my job today but it's my last full week of full time so I need to hang in there.
8. Inspections tomorrow at work mean more work for me today and tomorrow morning.
9. I'm very stressed out right now so I kinda just want to clean everything which is good for #8.
10. If I didn't sprain my ankle being a klutz or was extremely exhausted I'd go for a very long run tonight.
1. Extremely exhausted today.
2. Yesterday, went to work at 9 am, was thinking I would get off by 1pm... however, alot of babies were born so I ended up having to work until 9 pm.
3. Hopefully it will pay off financially!
4. Spring is just around the corner, its soo close...yet-too far!
5. Starting to sort through excursions for our cruise this week.
6. Friday I have a family session to do at Red run golf course. I normally am excited for sessions. This one not soo much- and I dont know why lol
7 probably, because Im just too tired.
8 I need to start doing more, than saying I will do more- when it comes to working on updating my website.
9 I am a one chick shop- perhaps if I had some employees, things could get done lol
10 let me rephrase that.... perhaps if I had some RELIABLE self motivated employees- things would get done
I totally have your rug solution!! I was having the same problem. I just wanted an 8x10 regular- decent feeling-not cheap looking 8x10 area rug for our living room- I couldnt find anything under $200!.... I went to my sisters house a few weeks and complimented her on her rug- and she told me Oakland Mall has a Gibralter Rug outlet store. She paid $40! for hers... so I went the next day and DH and I found one for our living room. Just like the same as our mohawk one we used to have- felt simular quality wise- same color, yet larger and we could not be happier- and we only paid $60! Seriously! you have to check them out! (this is also coming from someone who hates gibralter and oakland mall lol)
1. I've been having this on and off again pain in my groin/abdomen area and it's upsetting me.
2. Maybe I'm a hypochondriac (sp?)
3. I woke up this morning and intended on taking the kids to do some errands, but never made it out.
4. I have nobody to blame for #3 but myself.
5. Emma and I made some cookies for DH after Lily woke up from nap #1 and they're really cute.
6. Technically I didn't really "make" them, I just broke them apart... but whatever.
7. I may or may not have eaten like 7 of them.
8. They were really really small though. Bite sized, so it was justified.
9. I'm already dreaming about going to Disney World in a couple years when Lily is old enough.
10. I sent away for a Disney Vacation planning DVD just so I could get more excited. lol
1. I feel kind of weird jumping back into this board since I've been away from TN for months.
2. I bought The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest today in paperback (yay!).
3. I took a longer nap than I was planning to this afternoon (it's my day off).
4. I feel guilty because I wasn't as productive as I planned to be today because of #3.
5. We have parenting group tonight. It's fun to watch LO interacting with all the other babies.
6. I'm a little bummed that I'll miss watching the MSU game because of #5.
7. I want to plan a vacation to LA to visit DH's 3 brothers.
8. I heard birds chirping this morning!
9. DH has been regrouting the main bathroom which is great.
10. I voted already today.
Me too! I hope DH and I can see it opening weekend
1. I'm late to the party but I was surprisingly busy at work today so I couldn't participate.
2. I finished The Hunger Games trilogy over the weekend and now can't wait to see the movie.
3. I'm so glad I finally gave in to read the books. I was avoiding them because I tend to not like books that everyone raves about.
4. DH's parents came over on Sunday to celebrate his birthday. I was so happy to tell them that yes, we are finally getting our ceilings painted. I don't know why my MIL cares so much, it's not like they have to live with it.
5. It's kinda crazy. Our painter is actually the one who painted our whole house for the previous owners. They did such a great job (except for the awful color choices) so we had to go with him.
6. I've now become obsessed with home improvement projects which is not so good for the bank account.
7. DH and I have our medical exam for our life insurance policy on Saturday morning and I'm not looking forward to it. They have to draw blood and I pass out when I get my blood drawn
8. But I'm going to Miami for work on Sunday so I'm super pumped for the warm weather
9. DH is livid at how MSU is playing tonight. I hate when he yells because it scares the cat and it annoys me.
10. How is it almost March already?!
Lol! very kewl where did you get the disney vaca planning dvd from? We want to take our lil one next year- we decided on a cruise because she is so young I felt that it might be too much for her- so we were thinking of taking her for her 3rd bday. so will be 2 this year. ( she is only 19 months now). Plus sometimes the mouse at chuckee cheese scares her! lol ... but we went to a bday party and there was elmo- big bird and cookie monster and she could not get enough of them- so who knows lol..anyways, sorry for rambling lol!...would u mind sharing where you got the dvd?
I'm sorry to hear about this! Hopefully you can get it checked out by your doctor... and then she tells you that everything is just fine!

If you go to Disneyworld.com, there's a tab right up top that says "FREE Vacation Planning DVD". It's really simple! We took Emma when she was 25 months old and she had a blast. I was a little worried that she'd be afraid of the characters too, but she did really well. I'm sure your daughter would have a blast!!
