Anything good happen today with you?
My niece was born a few hours ago. She looks perfect and squishy and I love her already! I can't wait for them to move here in a few weeks!

Re: What's up tonight?
Yay for babies!
Today was a good day. Just worked and came home to the hubby.
Right now I'm researching a carpet cleaner. I think I found one I like but I'm not sure its exactly what I want. And its a little more money than I'd like to spend but I think it will be worth it.
Like a spot cleaner or a whole room one?

Congrats on the new niece! I love being an Aunt!
We had an awesome day today. A nurse from family advocacy/mental health came over to the house to talk about the effects of our move, discipline, and just overall development with the girls. It was so encouraging to hear from a professional that I am not screwing up my children lol. She had a lot of really great ideas about making the transition easier so I'm so glad I had her stop by.
After nap we went to the splash pad for a few hours. DD had a blast! She's at such a fun age. She's learning so much so fast!
After the girls were in bed I took pictures of our "valuables" and took stuff off walls. I got an Amazon GC for my birthday and I've been scouring Amazon to find something for ME, but I have no idea what I would like.
Exciting times over here.
Whole room one.
I'm finally as caught up as I intend to be on all my classes. It took several days of serious focus but I made it.
I just finished my last task which is the one I was most nervous about and I feel like I've had this giant weight removed from my back. It's called the IRS VITA Basic exam and is something I have to pass for my tax class. I hate that the subject matter and the internal revenue code so much.
Yay for new baby! I have a friend that should have hers any day now. I can't wait to have a newborn to hold nearby. And being an Aunt is fabulous.
Right now I'm playing Draw Something on the iPad and it's so much better than on my iPhone. haha
I think I have an ulcer in my esophagus. OUCH. It all started when I took my antibiotic the other night and laid down too soon (it says to wait at least 10 min). It burned so bad for like 40 min until I took some tums and that helped. But I still have tons of pain in there and especially when I eat. Dr. Google says it could be Esophageal Ulcers. Yay.
Happy news....well, we have had lots of visitors this past week and I get to go see Ash next week. I'm pretty stoked for our girls week! And to play with little Jakey!
I'm catching up on homework. I really wanted my spring break to last two weeks instead of one. : (
I feel like my days off are never really days "off" because I'm always doing something for other people or school or both.
In happier news, I'm down 5 pounds and in a healthy "I lost this due to eating right and doing C25K" way. I have 10 more and I am so ready to do this!!!
I feel like I may be suppressing my feeling about getting divorced. I don't cry. I don't feel bad. I don't miss my douchy husband at all. Maybe my experience is suppose to be a happy one? I feel 10x better now than I did two months ago or even 6 months ago. I just feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on my feelings. Maybe divorce isn't always a terrible thing to go through
