Good Morning MN!
Happy( to some maybe not to others?) Monday!
What are your plans for the day? How was your weekend?
Our weekend was lovely. We helped our friends move on Saturday and on Sunday we spent the day reading and doing some yard work and just spending time together. Its was really nice.
Today I'm working, and E and I are hanging out tonight. I think I might do some laundry.

Re: Good Morning MN!
Good morning!!
I always love starting the week. It makes me feel like there are things that can be accomplished.
Our weekend was okay. H is on TDY and will be back tonight. I just hung around Barnes & Noble and home playing on the internets.
This week is going to have some fantastic weather. I think that we are going to be finding ourselves outside quite a bit. We need to put down some fertilizer and get some new mulch for the flower beds. I love this time of year.
Today I am cleaning the house and then working on School. I have a night class, so this is the perfect day to get caught up on house chores.
Mornin'.
Weekend was good for the most part. We last minute (Sat) decided to head to Disney World Sunday. They have a awesome deal for FL residents right now. We've never been and it was a blast. That is until I fell going down some stairs, busted my @ss and rolled my ankle. I kept walking around on it since it just felt a little stiff, but by the time we got home It was HUGE and black and blue. I can still barley walk around so work is going to be great.
This morning I hobble to the kitchen to make coffee and spill the entire bag of coffee grounds on the floor. So I decide to stop and get a Monster on the way to work, get stuck behind a train for 15 minutes and then spill said monster all over my scrubs.
It's going to be a fabulous day. (/sarcasm) I keep telling myself it can only (hopefully) get better from here.
ETA: H also bought another gun (Ruger SR .22 - for range shooting) Saturday. He's been saving up in his 'gun fund' for awhile and since we paid off some debt and cushioned savings a bit more that was his fun money that he decided to spend on (mine was Disney).
ETA again: Because I can't spell.
Busy, productive weekend. Lil' E's laundry is all done now; I'm feeling a bit more prepared for him even if he isn't allowed to come out for a couple more weeks yet. Tonight K and I are doing the hospital tour; anxious to have that crossed off my list and know what kind of amenities this place has. I've got my FX for private delivery and recovery; it's what I had with L and I rather liked not having to share a room with anyone else.
Not sure what the work week ahead will bring; but L has her follow-up on Wed. for her scoliosis. She has grown a bit since she got her brace fitted and I'm wondering exactly how much she has to grow before the doc will want her to be fitted for a new one. Weekly OB check on Thurs. morning; hard to believe I'm down to weekly appts. now.
This w/e my aunt and uncle from Florida will be in town; haven't seen them since my sister's wedding 3.5 years ago so am looking forward to seeing them.
Yikes. You may officially turn this day in for a do-over. Hope the rest of the day goes a lot more smoothly.
Hello!
DS and I just got back from a run and we're eating some breakfast. At 10 we're going to take Allie out for a walk to practice her obedience school moves, then I'm sure we'll take Onyx out so he doesn't get jealous. After that it will be nap time for little Mr. and shower/cleaning/laundry time for Mama. No clue what our afternoon will hold, though I'd like to get out of the house for a bit.
I'm so wanting to re-mulch my flower beds; but it can't seem to stay warm and dry enough on the weekends for me to do so yet. Got my FX that I'm able to do that this upcoming w/e.
Agreed. I hope that your day gets better.
Good morning.
I'm at work until 5:00 at least. My supervisor's husband had emergency surgery on Friday night and got the dreaded "C" word diagnosis so my 5 person section is now down to 3 for awhile (the 4th person is out on maternity leave). So this is probably the last time i'll be online during the day for a while.
My weekend was pretty quiet. Went to David's Bridal on Saturday to see about exchanging my dress to acommodate my 7 month pregnant belly. I tried on a bunch of different dresses but ended up just ended up ordering mine 3 sizes bigger. It ended up being on sale so I got $100 back too! Yesterday I had a mommy/daughter date with B. We went to IHOP for breakfast then went to see the Lorax.
Missed M/C 11/5/2010 @ 5 weeks, 3 days* D&C 12/3/2010 at 9 weeks, 3 days
Ha! Thanks.. I hope so. I work for a doctor so I'm going to have him look at my ankle. Bleh.
At least nothing major happend it's just a bunch of little things.
Though, on a better note. H finally got his medical paperwork back that it's been approved to finally submit his package for cross-training. He got pre-approved a couple weeks ago, but this time is the 'real deal'. So hopefully we'll soon find out when we're leaving!!
Oh Marie, you get a redo for sure. Here listen to the Mandisa Good Morning Song. It will make you smile and then you can pretend your day has restarted.
Morninggg. Today I've got to get bridal shower invitations weighed for postage, swing by Starbucks for something caffeinated then go to work for a few hours.
After I get off I plan on taking a nap. This past weekend was toofuuckingbusy and I didn't get enough sleep.
67/200
Yay for limbo being done soon! It's always the little things that can be the most annoying.
Good Morning! It's actually Tuesday here already, but 1:30 AM... just can't sleep! We had a relaxing weekend and didn't do much. Today (when I wake up) I plan on going to the track and walking my butt off trying to get baby to come out. We find out our induction date on Wednesday if he decides to continue being stubborn the next two days.
We also found out that hubby may not get his 'daddy leave' which is depressing since we have no one coming here after baby is born (we were planning on going home this summer- plane tickets are almost 2 grand). He hasn't taken any days off since we've been at this base (just hit 1 year this week) so he was really looking forward to a few days off and getting to spend time as a dad for the first time without worrying about work for a few days. I know it comes with the territory but I'm hormonal but I definately had a little cry over it.
Morning! Just at work today until 4. Then working out and making Taco Pizza. Nothing too exciting, but we had a good weekend.
J and I went snowshoeing with the dogs on Saturday. It was a beautiful hike, but we got pretty tired and basically spent the rest of the day doing a movie marathon.
Yesterday we painted, we're almost done with our ginormous living room...I'm a little frustrated because J went and "dried" out the roller on our hall, so I guess next we're moving into the hall, even though we don't know what color we're using.
Oh that sucks! I'd be pretty TO if that happened to me. I was pleasantly surprised when K told me he even gets 3 days for paternity leave; not something that's common in the civie world. Hope the kiddo decides to self-serve his eviction notice soon.
Oh I definately know we're lucky if we get it! I just was counting on it a little too much I guess because we're all alone out here and got my hopes up-- another guy's wife is pregnant in his shop and she isn't due until March 29th but she called up there today to tell her H she thought she was in labor-- so if she goes before me he gets leave (it's their 3rd kid! Our 1st!) and hubby doesn't. pfffffttttt.
And thanks for the hope, send some labor vibes this way too
Oh SBJ, I'm due the 28th and I'd freak if I went into labor now. Hope you go into labor before she does and that what she is experiencing is false!!
Good morning! So far it's been a good day. Got showered, dressed, and the baby to the sitter's on time this morning. Work has been tolerable.
I'm hoping Sophia is in a good mood tonight because I'm on my own until Wednesday.
Our weekend was uneventful. We stayed home on Saturday and played while I did laundry and Sunday we ran a quick errand to the market and Redbox.
Morning! I thought I was off to a bad start because I can't find my locker keys and my supply sergeant is off today but then I went to Dunkin Donuts and got my large coffee paid for.
there was no one behind me so I guess I'll have to pay it forward at lunch.
My weekend was a good mix. I finished painting and cleaning, took the Mini Ginger in for a check up and found out its time for tires already. . Talked to a friend about renting our house, spent Saturday night with my BFF who just told me that her and her H are moving to Texas. Sunday was spent with my girlfriends for one friends boyfriend's birthday. *sigh* I'm going to miss them.
Morning!
This weekend was fantastic. We took IJC to a big inflatable jumphouse place here and he went crazy for a few hours and slept like a rock. Which was super awesome. Then we spent a lot of time outside, had some friends over to enjoy some smoked BBQ J slaved over on Saturday and just enjoyd the weather. Today started out bright and early at 6:30 dropping J off at work and taking Tallulah (shihtzu) to the groomer, then cleaning out the car and tidying the house.
IJC and I are about to go pick J up for lunch, get Tallulah from the groomers then take Stella (German Shep) for a walk and spend the day outside.
I need to get the meal plan for this week together but I have no motivation to do so. Raw meat of any kind has been ruining my appetite so meals have been pretty boring around here as of late, unless J makes them. Fail.
Morning! Had a super fun weekend, even though yesterday I was nursing a sweet hangover. Today I have already gone to Starbucks for coffee and then grocery shopping. Working on some laundry and cleaning, and I may do some yard work later if I feel like it.
Really I just want to watch TV and be a lazy bum.
Good morning everyone! We're moving today! The weekend was good overall; packing the truck and cleaning the house yesterday were hectic. Thank God MIL was there to help me clean.
I'm chauffeuring H for now (our other car is loaded and ready on the trailer) so he can out process and I can run the little errands we still have left. Oh, and he was selected for a urine test today, so that put a kink on our plans. But we're so happy to be moving on.
My parents are in town visiting. So, after my morning workout and shower, I was able to hang out with them for a little bit before I had to start working, and they headed off to do some shopping.
Once I finish work, I plan on digging up all the old handknit socks I've made that don't have homes, and seeing if any fit my parents' feet. They're flying to Ireland in a few days (from the airport near us here - it was way cheaper, so we get some time with them before and after the trip!), and extra wool socks would be nice for them to have with them...
Tonight, it looks like I'll be skipping my normal monday knitting group meetup, which is somewhat sad, but I'll survive until next week. I just finished a project that I want to show off, though.
I had a dentist appt this afternoon and had to get a cavity filled. My whole lower half of my face is numb and I'm starving. I'm trying to eat some oatmeal but swallowing is really hard when you can't use your tongue! I hate this feeling and I sound foolish trying to talk.
The girls did great with my friend that watched them and I wish I would have taken my time and grabbed a cup of coffee on my way back or something. Who knows when I'll get more than five minutes to myself again.
