Good Morning!

Happy Thursday!

Last night was pretty good.  We had our prenatal class, preregistered at the hospital, and then I came home and baked cookies.  

Derek is going to his old jobsite today to get all the baseboard we need for up second story, so I thought I'd bake some cookies for the super as I way of saying "thanks for the free stuff!".

Hopefully tonight we'll finally be going to look at appliances.  I told Derek all I really want before the baby comes is a dishwasher.

How is everyone today?

Re: Good Morning!

  • Good morning! Last night was nice--I met Josh for dinner at a pizza place, had a couple of beers, and just enjoyed ourselves. It was nice to get out, especially since he's leaving Saturday on travel for nearly a week.

    Today I'm hoping for another busy yet rational day (though I admit, I come in expecting the worst so I can be surprised when that doesn't happen!). I have some write-ups to do for my class that I'm hoping to finish at lunch.

    Hope everyone has a great one!

  • Good morning, how exciting for appliances raynes.  

    Last night was really chaotic.  I had a meeting with a potential bride, we had to get packed for our weekend trip to Tucson and get the dog to my dads house.  We are only working a half day today and leaving about 2.  I am excited to get out of town though. I will be MIA until Tuesday, I hope everyone has a good weekend.

  • Free stuff is awesome! A dishwasher is a nice thing to have. I told H that we won't have anymore kids until we have a washer/dryer that we don't have to get rolls of quarters to use.

    It's 5:45am here and I'm up because of a sick boy. The sick boy is sleeping but in our bed instead of his crib. He nailed me once in my ribcage, that I have to have x-rayed later on today, with his feet and once with his head. So now I can't sleep because I'm in too much pain.

    I don't know what is causing it but since Edmund was born I have had this fleeting pain in the left side of my ribcage that would come and go at random times. I always thought that it was just my ribcage going back to normal after he was born. Then he was 6 months old and it was still there and the pain kept getting more frequent.

    I finally decided enough was enough when I was doubled over in pain from it a couple weeks ago that I would go to my doctor. She said there is either a cracked rib or 2 or that I sprained the muscles in between the ribs. There is nothing they can do if it's the former and I can do physical therapy if it's the latter. I'm just tired of being in pain.

    Not much else planned for today. Just some house cleaning and maybe a walk if the weather is okay.

  • Dork- Have a great time!

    My night was good. Typical bath time and play time.

    I went to bed at a decent time, and I don't think I woke up all night. Which NEVER happens.  I love sleep.

    Tonight, I am hoping to get on Pinterest after the boys go to bed, as I really have some things I want to post for the boys room. I am starting to look into new bedding, eventually bunk beds, and how I am organize their little space.

    Have a great day ladies.

    I has a jealous.

    Mind you, last night was a good night for me, I was only up twice!  Whooo!!! (though that probably means I was dehydrated....)

  • Good morning! Ahhhh... I cannot wait until this week is over. March break, is a mere 5 teaching periods, 3 extra curricular activities and 1 dance away! My homeroom is currently in first place in our Spirit Week competition, but only by 25 points, so it's still totally up for grabs. It's my first time with a homeroom, and I totally want the trophy this year!

    Phil has a CGA exam tonight, so I'll be on my own. I'm planning on going shopping after school (a few new shirts would not go amiss, plus a cheap bathrobe for pajama day tomorrow) and then it's going to be a chilled out night, I think.

  • Yikes, Sounders!  I hope you feel better soon.

    I had another lazy night last night, just watched some tv, read and went to bed.  DH finally gets home tomorrow (yay!!), so I have to make an attempt to get things organized for our weekend Bordeaux trip and the move next week.  I'll be really happy when next week is over and we can get settled into our new place.

  • Last night I only slept about 3 hours before I was awake again.  It was a beautiful day yesterday and I really should have been smart enough to leave our bedroom window open but I wasn't.  So, by the time I went to bed last night, it was too hot in the house and I couldn't get comfortable.  I decided to get up and work on baby organizing some more.  At least I got some things done.

    Today I have many more errands to do but I also have a pregnancy massage scheduled.  My back is really hurting between my shoulder blades from lots of cleaning and organizing this week so I'm hoping this gives me some relief and is also pleasant and relaxing.

    Have a good day.

  • Vibes, Sounders! I hope that you can get some relief soon.

    I didn't get home from my meeting last night until 9pm. Then when I got home, I had to pack for my trip tonight. That was basically my entire evening.  

    The next few days will be hectic and I probably won't be on here much. I'm leaving work a bit early tonight to catch a bus to head out of town again. I'm judging a scholarship competition tomorrow morning. Then I'll be going to a banquet in the evening where the winner will be announced. If the weather agrees with us, one of my former classmates will be going to the banquet as well and then flying us home. If the weather doesn't agree, then I'll be spending a second night in the hotel and catching a bus or train to come home on Saturday. (Dear weather, a private plane sounds so much cooler than a bus or train, so please cooperate this weekend!)

    Saturday I've agreed to help my brother's fiance plan their wedding. They're really struggling with it as neither of them are very organized. The wedding is in June so I'm hoping that I can work some magic for them. I have no idea what they have done already and what they still have left to do. Sunday my goal is to sleep! Have a great day and weekend, ladies!  

  • Sounders - hope your injury isn't too serious and you're able to heal quickly.

    Abarb - :::vibes for good weather::: I private plane ride home sounds awesome!

    Good morning! Last night I ended up working late and didn't get home until after 7:00, so we had a quick dinner and watched a little TV before heading to bed early.

    This morning is off to a good start...J attacked me this morning for a little yoga session, morning yoga NEVER happens out our house so it was a nice surprise! I have a busy day at work so I'm hoping the day goes by fast. Tonight will be a workout, dinner, and maybe some reading.

  • Sounders, hope you feel better soon.

    ABarber, is your friend chartering a plane, or actually flying it?  Either way, that sounds awesome!

    Last night was fairly uneventful.  Casey has this new medicine for a UTI which is antibiotic resistant, and it's quite time consuming to give it to him.  We have to give him a whole bag of fluids and then inject the medication into the fluids.  It takes about 20-30 minutes, and he has to hold still the entire time.  Not so much fun.  Tonight, I have a work event that will go until about 9, so B has to do it all by himself.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed it goes well without me.

    For breakfast today, I brought a pomogranate Greek yogurt, which is super yummy but of course has seeds in it.  Picking seeds out of yogurt is kinda strange.  I think I'm going to have to rethink this flavor next time.

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Sushi- oo Bordeaux that sounds lovely.

    rxbeth a relaxing massage sounds nice.

    abarber- i would like to know who's flying too! My Dh wants a pilots license. :)

    Neptoon-I couldn't do the passion fruit one. It freaked me out with the black seeds. 

    Good morning all. I feel great. I slept like a rock. I went running to the park yesterday to meet Dh. It felt so awesome to be outside. I also got some good study time in. I can't wait for this weekend though. I'm heading to Nashville for a Red Wing game. Gooo Wings!

  • Good Morning Ladies,
    I am exhausted and I still have two full days of work left and two evening shifts this weekend. This week, by Sunday, I will have worked 65 hours. I am drained. Luckily next week will be easier. 
    DH is finally starting to feel the effect of his medication which is awesome! I just hope that it sticks and this becomes his normal. 
    All that said I am looking forward to having my free Monday next week. My goodness it will be fantastic.

  • Good morning. 

    Last night was beat up on Rebecca night.  I have chronic plantar fasciitis in my right foot and to add to that while trying to avoid stepping on the stupid kitten, I kicked the wall so hard I think I might have broken my little toe (again).  Then after dinner I had my bowl sitting on my knee when Jim threw something for Little Bit, which cause him to jump up and knock the bowl off my knee and on to the top of my foot, which is now purple with a knot.  As an added bonus, this got food on the carpet.

    Anyway, after all that, I went to bed at 10:30 and I still didn't get up until 8:30, so I was over a hour late to work.  I have nothing going on tonight, other than trying not to do any more damage to myself.

  • Look! It's still morning! Last night was great, we had a nice walk to dinner and delicious dinner when we got there. Today is pretty uneventful--regular teaching day and hopefully a walk after school, though it is supposed to rain at some point. Other than that, not too much excitement...

  • Today is another super busy day at work. I am so ready for this week to be over. It is crazy at work.

    Last night I went to bed at 9 I was dead from running around all day.

    Today is DH's bday and Jordan has a soccer game tonight. Today is also Jordan's last day of school before spring starts tomorrow. We might go eat at the local Mexican restraunt if Soccer ends fairly early. If not it will be a drive thru night.

    My friend will be flying it. He's a physician and wanted a hobby, so he got his pilot's license and bought a plane. I'm slightly jealous of his lifestyle.
