Re: How was your weekend?
Lows? Terrible sleep last night. DH was out of town, I think that's why.
Read anything good? Nope.
Watch anything good? No, but I have about 5 Sunday shows I missed that I have to watch through the week!
Eat/make anything good? Holy Frijoles veg fajitas and way too many desserts.
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? Last night's sleep was terrible and I have a bad headache. I'm trying not to be grouchy this morning, but it's hard. My appointment with the RE is on the 10th, but I'm ready to go NOW to see what's going on with me!
What are you looking forward to this week? An all day work meeting at the Four Seasons and an annual work picnic are both this week.

Lows? Not doing anything around the house
Read anything good? Nope
Watch anything good? Almost finished season 2 of Sons of Anarchy. I'm loving that show!
Eat/make anything good? We went over to the ILs house for a ceremony. DH made me Bibimbap, my favorite Korean dish and his mom made cucumber kimchi. We had queso, guac, and quesadillas at my sister's.
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I have a few lol. Seeing DH with the kids melts my heart. Hearing him read stories to my nephew and cuddling with niece is not helping my baby fever :)I finally got my court situation worked out. They subpoenaed me for the wrong case and the lawyer implied this is not uncommon. Umm, these are people's lives! They need to be more organized. I fell in love with a 5 year old cat that's up for adoption at Petsmart. DH wanted to look at the cats, knowing it upsets me. This guy broke my heart because his adoption fee keeps getting slashed because no one wants an "old" cat. I broke down in tears and DH panicked lol. He said "We're taking him home!" But apparently, there are no volunteers there on weekends to do adoptions!! The manager said to come back Friday when he knew someone would be able to help us. I was so frustrated. I emailed the rescue organization so we'll see. I know this is an emotional/impulsive decision but we've been talking about getting Button a companion for awhile now...
What are you looking forward to this week? RennFest on Sunday!
Highs? nothing particular - lots of family time, everybody was in a good mood, got some grocery shopping and meal planning done which was a major improvment over the last few weekends.
Highs? My cousin got married this weekend! The wedding was gorgeous, the bride was stunning, everyone had an incredible time. Two weeks ago we all came together as a family to say goodbye to my grandmother, so while it was certainly hard (especially for my cousin) to have this major happy event right after, it was also good in a lot of ways. Another major high was going to visit my grandfather. He hadn't yet met Liam and Mia hadn't seen him in awhile, so it was nice to visit with him and shower him in love. It was emotional, but good.
Lows? The tears. This is the first family event without Grandmom, and as anyone who's lost a loved one knows, those firsts are so hard. Pop-Pop is home from the hospital and getting stronger, but he chose not to attend, and it was the first event without him, too.
Read anything good? Nope
Watch anything good? Ed and I are slowly working our way through the most recent season of True Blood and the episode we watched last night featured a hot 'n' heavy sex scene involving Alcide. I *may* have rewound and watched it a second time. Unf.
Eat/make anything good? Cookies at the wedding, crab cakes at Seaside on Sunday.
FFCs, vents, AWs, etc? I had a wound check with my OB's office this morning and while things are healing up and doing better than they anticipated, another section of my incision has opened. The doctor assures me it's not a big deal, but I am so beyond frustrated. I'm tired of being broken.
What are you looking forward to this week? We're meeting with a potential daycare provider on Wednesday who I really, really, really hope works out. Thursday I have a meeting for Mia's Daisy troop and since one of my BFFs is the troop leader, it's a meeting I'm sure I'll enjoy.
