Happy Hump Day!

Happy Wednesday that's also Fake Thursday! 

Last night was weird.  I think I had a few mild contractions and some definite Braxton Hicks (I never know when/if I'm having them), so once I finished making dinner I sat my arse down for the rest of the night.  I have a feeling I was a big dehydrated, so today is operation Drink Lots Of Water.

Tonight Derek is headed up into the attic to do some plumbing, and then he's going to start installing the shelves in our new closet (attic access is in the closet, so it makes sense to deal with attic stuff first!).

How is everyone today?

We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

Re: Happy Hump Day!

  • Good Morning! It is my fake Thursday also and I am leaving at lunch tomorrow woo hoo!

    Yesterday was my grandmothers birthday and she was going to my little cousin's basketball game and invited Jordan to go along. He was excited to go and then they went to eat with my aunt and uncle afterwards. Preston and I did some cleaning and playing and went for a walk. The weather here has been rainy all week so the TV went out. I started reading my book at 8 after the boys went to bed and by 8:30 I was asleep on the couch.

    Today is another nasty rainy day so no baseball practice for us tonight.

  • Morning. I had a nice evening with my MIL. I took her out to dinner which I think she enjoyed (we went to a restaurant that she'd never been to before), then we went to see Celtic Woman. It wouldn't be my first choice for things to do, but she really enjoyed it so I was happy. By the time that we got home I was ready to go to bed.

    No major plans tonight. I'm hoping to get to bed a bit earlier so that I don't feel so groggy in the morning.  

  • Good morning ladies.

    When I got home last night I had a migraine from hell. I was in bed by 8, and asleep by 9:30.  I actually slept great (thank you Zach for STTN), however was wide awake at 4 this morning.  Oh well, at least I had some consistent sleep.

    Today is my Friday. I have spent the morning finishing my presentation on how to give a presentation for a staff meeting on Tuesday. Fun fun, not. I always get volunteered for these things, and it's kind of annoying.

    I have a waxing appt after work, and then home for the usual routine.  I am looking forward to a date day with DH while the boys are at DC.

    Have a great day ladies.

  • Woohoo Wednesday!

    I don't work until Monday and I'm so excited for this time off.  I slept very well again last night and just got back from the gym.  I need to do some cleaning around the house and then I have a manicure/pedicure at 2pm.  Other than that, I'm going to just try to be lazy and just relax.  One of my BFFs is coming over before dinner to see how we have decorated and check out the baby's room.  I'm pretty excited to show it off.

    Have a great day.

  • Good morning!

    Last night was really low key, Jason went to meet a friend for a drink and didn't get home until pretty late so I took advantage of some alone time and did a long workout, painted my toenails and watched 16 & Pregnant.

    I have a feeling I have another crazy day ahead of me at work. It's just me and one paralegal in the office today to support all the attorneys, everyone else is out sick. No big plans for tonight probably just the normal workout, dinner, and bed.

  • Morning, ladies! Quiet night last night--we went to the gym and I got a good run in, and then we had a pretty simple dinner (egg sandwiches). After that we just chatted for a while before going to bed.

    Today I'm on my own until 9pm-ish, so maybe it's mac 'n cheese for dinner and then some reading. Nothing too crazy.

    Have a fantastic day, everyone!

  • Last night was relaxing and fun. It was a beautiful evening out so we went for a convertible ride and explored different parts of the city. Ate delicious pork tacos and relaxed and watched the news. It's so beautiful and relaxing at home lately.

  • Today is my last work day this week, then I get two extra days. I love Easter. This Friday we are going to a friends for a BBQ, it should be really good. Some friends from our hometown will be there which we are really looking forward too. 
    Besides the BBQ we don't really have much planned, probably dinner at the in-laws on Saturday. I am taking on a lovely project that I will hopefully get finished next week. We are in our new place in two weeks, it is going to be fantastic.

  • Good morning! I was super pissy yesterday. The kids were being ridiculous (I had a kid throw a paper-ripping, chair-throwing temper tantrum before 9 am because he doesn't want to attend OPTIONAL summer school [and seriously, it's not even like I'm making him - I don't even teach him!] which was fairly indicative of how the rest of my day went) and I was SO sore in my hips and back the rest of the day.

    Also, I'm tired of looking fat and not pregnant. While I appreciate that I could go have some drinks on the patio and no one would give me a second look, my self-esteem sucks right now. Also, I'm tired of not being able to move. I miss my daily walks SO much and I just wish I knew what to build up some stamina... or stop hurting myself. I've been doing yoga in hopes of loosening the tension up, but no such luck so far.

    Okay, that's my pity party.

    Today has been much better. I got a lot done, found some missing tests, and got to do puppet making last class with one group of students (whee!), and have a department meeting all afternoon so I'll miss out on teaching my worst class (double yay!). If I can work up the energy after school, I need to go pick up some ingredients to feed my family for the weekend, and some chocolate for Easter baskets and then I have plans to go home and pass out on the couch.

    Also, I'm wearing a sock bun, and I think it looks incredibly cute. I'll post a HDBD picture later!

  • I took yesterday off to recoup, and really because I know there's going to be a long time before I get some vacation time again. I can't believe I start my new job on Monday. I'm going to miss being lazy. haha.

    This weekend should be great and full of relaxation, or as much as possible. 

    I started walking with DS and the dogs this week. I think it might actually kill me, but it's such a good workout. I got some funny looks and comments from people walking in our neighborhood. A momma's gotta do what she can to get ready for bikini season. 

    I had a talk with DH last night, and I think he's starting to feel bad about his weight gain from when I was pregnant. He gained right along with me, and now he's having a really hard time losing it. I never thought guys really thought about that stuff, but you can tell he feels icky. Poor thing. Still hot little piece of tushy if you ask me.
