Morning, MN.
Well... It's Monday.
What are you up to this week?
Right now I am putting the finishing touches on a paper that is to be turned in tonight and then get ready for finals. So glad that this semester is almost over.
Re: Morning, MN.
My Monday is not off to a good start. I got a call at 730 to ask if I could be in right at 8 because no was else was able to open up the office, which means I had to cram 30 minutes of getting ready into less than 15.
Then the office admin got a call from the office 45 minutes away basically saying I "needed to be there now" for 6 back to back assessments from 11-4 with no lunch time scheduled, because the therapist who was supposed to be here couldn't come in. Ug. So I get down here, and the 11:00 is actually an individual therapy session. Yeah, I can't just do a therapy session for someone else. It doesn't work like that. And the 12:00 rescheduled for tomorrow, so I really didn't have to be here until 1. That would have been nice to know. I had stuff at the other office I needed to do today.
So.over.working.here. I wont even need this reference ever, so I daydream of just walking out. But I want to save money, so I don't.
I changed my name
I decided to come out of hiding..
I'm up playing with B.. trying to rearrange some things so that I can get 2 papers written by Sunday.
C leaves for a school this weekend for six weeks, and then 2 weeks after he gets back we are PCSing to Fort Jackson, so I am trying to not have a panic attack.
Ditto the bold. I woke up at 3:30 this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. My mind started going crazy with all the things we need to do between now and September. I'm kind of starting to freak out a little and feel like I need to take a whole week off just to get started on it all. But I don't want to use up all my time before the wedding or the arrival of the kid so here I sit at work, still freaking out about it and trying to figure out how to get it all done either before the wedding or before the arrival of the kid. I need a personal assistant!
Although I have to say, now that everyone on my team is back, I'm actually pretty caught up at work so I actually feel like I would be ok to take a week off and not have to worry about all the work I have to do at work! haha
So I have a feeling my evenings and weekends will be filled with wedding/baby planning stuff for the next 14 weeks or so.
Missed M/C 11/5/2010 @ 5 weeks, 3 days* D&C 12/3/2010 at 9 weeks, 3 days
I'm at work trying to quickly throw together a meal plan. I feel like it should be so easy, but I don't know what to put on here and I'm tired of cooking the same things over and over again.
I'm sitting at my desk doing NOTHING. Not because I want to do nothing, rather I have nothing to do. This is going to make for a long Monday....
As for me week...who knows!
Good morning. I finally feeling somewhat recovered from this weekend. I need to get dinner in the crockpot and go get ready for work. I'm working all day today. D and I think this might be Dr. H's last day her due date is fast approaching and every Monday baby G seems lower and lower and she is waddling more. So I don't know if she will make it much further.
I need some advise though, our good friend's baby is due here soon, She actually took a trip to L&D yesterday but got sent home. I make them food periodically and I'm really starting to get pissed off at her H. He always makes some comment when I bring food over ( I've always told them ahead of time), " What do you think I can't provide for my family". I always just say " I want to do this for you so just stop". He told me yesterday that I've got to spot doing things like that for them. I looked at him and said " I like to do nice things for my friends so just accept it and say thank you and be done". I was planning on trying to do a few days of meals after the baby comes and N's mom leaves. Should I just ignore C? I think its because he is in school and not working and N is so he feels like he's not contributing or whatever. Oh gosh sorry that got so long. Thanks for listening to my vent.
Good Morning!
I'm annoyingly chipper this morning
The baby slept in her own room last night and slept completely through the night!!! I want to cry I'm so happy. I don't remember the last time I slept from 10-6:45 (DD woke us all up as usual, but DD2 is back in bed sleeping). 
I had a fantastic weekend visiting with DH. He on the other hand, had a really hard time saying goodbye to the girls again,
I'm baking him cookies now to send to him and his flight so hopefully it'll cheer him up a bit.
I need to make a meal plan too. I waste so much more money and food when I don't
I think that if he is uncomfortable with you bringing dinner over, you should stop. He asked you to stop, you really should respect that.
I know that it is a nice thing to do, but this is also their life. Sometimes that can be seen as intrusive rather than helpful. Don't force hospitality on them. If you want to cook dinner for them and invite them over to your house is fine, if that is something you are comfortable with.
N's grateful for it and he is after the fact always. He just gets defensive after I suggest it. And honestly other than sending leftovers home with him last night I've only taken dinner over twice just for them. We normally rotate doing dinner, like N will make dinner and we go over and then the next time I do it here.
I guess I should really just talk to N. Thanks B.
How many more days until your grad-school starts?
That seriously sucks. I am sorry.
Then perhaps that is his idea of being polite. IDK. I just know that I would feel uncomfortable about someone making my meals while I was capable of doing it myself. *Shrug*
I guess that makes sense. I've only done it after N has been not well because of the pregnancy or because a trip to L&D the day before. I'll talk to N before June and her C-section date to see if its okay if I bring meals after her mom leaves for a few days. Thanks B.
Packing continues.
Planning our very last CO day trip, kind of sad.
And then some more packing.
Casually looking at paint colors, decor and new furniture for the new house. Its so overwhelming.
My garage sale/donate pile is bigger than my packed boxes pile, so I need to figure out what to do with all this. No Airman's Attic here, so I guess Goodwill.
Hoping to meet a friend's new baby and get the babies out of the house for a play date.
Nothing earth shattering, just your average week.
Well, August, but I would probably stop working the end of July. But they had me kind of apply to be considered for the accelerated track, which would start beg. of July, so I would stop working the middle of June probably. Ak! I just want them to tell me soon so I know.
I can handle three months. I have a trip to Mexico in two weeks (!!!) and another trip in June that'll make me less crazy wrt working.
I changed my name
Morning.
I went to bed late, and was up early. The dog and I went for a couple mile walk, and now I'm getting ready to head out to lunch with a couple women from the spouse club. Then I have to be at work until probably 11pm tonight.
OMG. None of them showed up. They all no-showed or cancelled.
I changed my name
I'm leaving for the Dominican Republic tomorrow!!! Wheeeeeee!
What up?! *fist pump*
I just got home from work and Monday it was! The registers were on the fritz, customers out the wazoo, and on top of it all they were ordering off the wall stuff so we were completely unprepared! Just when you think you have your regulars figured out.
I'm waiting for DH to get home to figure out dinner, I had to work until 11:30 last night so I went straight to bed and went back in to open this morning so I didn't take anything out. And who knows what is going on the rest of the week. I'm officially done with training and got my certified barista pin yesterday. After my store manager gets back from vaca next week, I'll officially start as a shift supervisor all on my own. This week while she's gone I'm going to be attached at the hip with the other shift. Pretty stoked.
I felt this way yesterday so I looked up some new recipes. Just got out of work. I had to go get some meat from the place we get meat since we are finally out (I feel like we've had this meat for like 3 weeks that is how much I got last time) Now I need to get dinner together while H works on the fence.
