Good Morning!
Yikes I'm tired today. We ran a whole bunch of errands last night, which was very productive, but tiring at the same time.
Tonight is likely laundry and general work around the house. Both my mom and my MIL have offered to come help deep clean the house on the weekend. Which is awesome, but there's just too much "stuff" out and about. That, and we really need to be done with major construction type projects before deep cleaning commences to keep the dust down!
How is everyone today?

Re: Good Morning!
I slept much better last night but I'm still feeling quite tired today. My on call wasn't bad - I only had 2 pages and they were both before I went to bed.
I didn't end up awake with contractions at all so either that whole false labour thing is done for a while or I was just too tired and slept through them since they were never horrible to start. This is so confusing. I'm still having some on and off bloody show.
In an attempt to get things moving again I did 3 miles on the treadmill this morning, alternating 3 minutes of walking with 1 minute of running. At this point, I feel straight running would just be too much so I don't want to push it.
I did talk to my manager yesterday and explained what was going on. She is totally agreeable that I will stay down in pharmacy from now on so that was nice. What made me laugh was when I explained I might be going into real labour soon, her reaction was 'well, you haven't dropped yet.' WTF? Seriously? I'm not making shiz up. She's genuinely excited for me but I think she is in major denial. And I was very up front when I got there that I felt like crap.
The whole 'closing with an intern issue' they don't seem to think it's a problem that if I went into labour to just call a manager and someone will show up or call the one pharmacist who lives really close and I would just leave. And the on call, same thing, if something happens, I will just stop answering the pager and the switchboard will do what they do in case of back up...call a manager. Not ideal for anone involved, but meh...it's one more shift
Since I feel okay today, I'm going to finish out my shifts today and tomorrow and I'm off on Thursday and have an OB appointment at 11am that day. I'll talk to him then (and see where I am progress-wise) and see what he thinks. Also, since April 1st, I now have paid sick days (at 67% my wage) and I'm not afraid to use them if I don't feel well enough to go into work and they will just have to make due. If I go off early or call in sick, my poor manager just has to step up and do my job. If OB tells me on Thursday to go off work, I'll go off. My work isn't very good at being proactive and taking care of things before they happen, they are reactive instead of proactive. They still don't have someone to replace me for my mat leave
I guess if they aren't concerned, I'm not concerned and I'll take it day by day right now and I'm not going to feel guilty if I call in sick or go off last minute.

Good morning!
Yesterday I did some major organizing at home. I took my lunch break to go buy some $1 containers and made labels. I organized our laundry room and bathrooms. I just had crap everywhere at home. I feel like packing is getting easier and easier as things are more organized and all in one spot. I am hoping it will aslo help the unpacking phase. I cooked a VERY yummy dinner and DH worked last nigth so I got to catch up on some shows he doesn't care for.
Tonight I have to do a load of laundry and would like to get another box or two packed. I have a pretty easy dinner on the menu for tonight so hopefully I can get some more organizing done also. I am going to go on my lunch to buy some smaller containers for my pony tail holders, makeup ect..
They do this with EVERY mat leave.
BTW - in one of my 'between pee' dreams last night you lived close to me and we were BFFs. We went biking with your DH which is too funny because neither one of us should be on a bike right now. It made me lol when I woke up.
Boo, I'm back to work today after a nice long weekend. Although, I'm in our NY office, which is a nice change of pace - it's so much quieter here that I may actually get some good work done! Although, I'll also spend a lot of time catching up with people, so may not be as productive as hoped. Oh well, it's just a short 3 day week to get through.
We went to do some preliminary stroller shopping yesterday, and while it was good to see and try out a bunch of strollers, I'm not sure we're any closer to making a decision. Good thing we have lots of time! I did also treat myself with a new pair of shoes.
Went out to dinner last night with a friend and then to bed early. The jetlag is still affecting me, but since it just means I'm in bed earlier and awake earlier, I can't complain too much.
We're heading out for drinks and dinner with some more friends tonight which should be fun. The place we're going to has such yummy burgers, and my mouth is already watering for it!

Morning! I'm officially out of undies now, so I will be doing laundry when I get home this evening. Other than that, there is not much going on a home tonight. It is taco Tuesday, which is my favorite day ever.
At work, I have payroll, accounts payable and audit prep (fun, fun) so I should be super busy this week. The boss is out of the office tomorrow and Thursday, so that will help since he won't be here adding things to the to-do pile and calling pointless meetings.

The dreams these days are just nuts. Once we've got a feel for our LO we should arrange some sort of GTG at a mid-way point. Assuming they do well in the car/on the train.

Morning, all. We had a quiet evening last night. I went to the grocery store and restocked our kitchen. Then we took it easy and watched some baseball.
Today I'm in a great mood. There was a chance that I would have to go to a meeting OOT for work, but instead both of my bosses are going to go. So, I should now have a nice quiet day in the office instead of what could have been a very hectic day. We have no plans tonight, other than I'm pretty excited for the return of Glee.
Check out the book Baby Bargains if you haven't already. So so so useful. Also, the website Lucie's List.

Morning ladies.
I was exhausted last night, laid in bed an realized I hadn't practiced a presentation I had to give this morning. So instead of sleeping, I was in my room talking to myself for the next hour.
I have already given my presentation, and thankfully it went well. I am glad it is over with, so now I can focus on my real work. I love being volunteered to do these types of things, without much prep time. NOT.
Today I am having a focus day the remainder of the day as I have a lot of work to catch up on from being out and trying to prep for the presentation. If you want a chuckle, the presentation was on how to give an effective presentation.
Have a great day ladies.
Good morning!
Last night Dh went to help buy a car with BIL for his Girlfriend. We checked out the car on Sunday for her while she was studying and couldn't go. I'm excited for her.
I went grocery shopping and caught up on Mad Men. WTF was up with that episode. Yikes. I also made a chickpea salad and seasoned some Mahi Mahi for dinner which will be eaten tonight because DH got home so late.
