I'm having a very delicious lunch with a former coworker today. Woot! And I'm looking fiiiiiiiiiiine. Too bad it's raining like a mofo and my hair is just DYING to frizz up at any moment.
I am entered into the "having kids is physically exhausting" phase of parenting again. The up and down, the squatting, the carrying, the trying to keep ahold of him as he arches his back in protest, etc etc etc. I am so physically dog tired by the end of the day. And these are days I didn't work out. I love it. Weight is still coming off, slowly but surely, and I haven't been as strict with my diet lately.
Thank you Leo you little 20ish pound workout tool.
I remember when Jack didn't need me as much physically and I started to gain weight again. There is really something to be said for the calorie burn you get from small children.
No! That sucks so hard. We didn't have any snow, none that stuck anyway. I hope your power is back soon
I think I finally got my hair to look cute-ish today without having to flat iron it (I got it cut again over the weekend, to try and fix the last cut).
I bought a ton of cute spring/summer clothes for the kids yesterday at Once Upon A Child. They had fun doing a little fashion show for me last night. Now it just needs to warm up!
Well nobody on my floor got fired yesterday, so either we escaped the hatchet or the execs haven't gotten to us yet. I live to work another day.
H is coming home from a work trip today. Last time he traveled, he missed his exit on the way home and ended up trying to get home from the next exit and got lost and was home late. So this morning I keep sending him directions to our house and asking if he needs maps, etc. I'm so hilarious.
Oh, one more. I have a couple of people in my FB newsfeed who constantly "share" photos or content from pages they "like." If I gave a shit, I'd have "liked" those pages too, but since I didn't, I don't want it clogging my newsfeed! All they do is "share" like, 5 things in a row several times a day.

Time to hide them from my newsfeed!
So annoying! This is why I hid my cousin - I'm glad you love you some Jesus but I don't need to 73 pictures & quotes per day telling me this. Espcially when you have just as many pictures & posting that contradict that you love Jesus.

I keep having stupid dreams of people making fun of me or telling me I'm not good at something. My anxiety has been acting up lately and it's now disturbing my sleep. This is so stupid lol.
Last night H really pissed me off. I'm already feeling like a crappy parent this week and he jokingly told me that I am a "helicopter mom" and overbearing and that I basically annoy DD. But then the jerk kept bringing it up in a serious manner. He just said he wanted to give me "tips" on how DD might respond better to me. I finally told him that this is not the time to be criticizing my parenting, he already knows how I feel this week. I didn't yell, I didn't accuse, I just asked him nicely to lay off of me for a bit. He then proceeded to ROLL HIS EYES at me. Like I was the one being the jerk. I didn't speak to him till he apologized, but dude this is NOT the time to be criticizing what I do.

That really is hilarious! Also - the new sig pic - I'm dying from the cuteness. What is that lion thing? It's cute!
I have period cramps. I'm not supposed to start my period for 3-4 more days. I'm only 10 DPO. I did the OPK and had "relations" every day there was even a hint of a double line. If this is my period starting then this day can suck a huge bag of vegan shrimp dicks.
One of my friends lost her baby at 17weeks 3days yesterday. I'm not sure how to help her, I want to give her space, but don't want to come across as uncaring. I left her a message asking her to call if I can do anything, and ill call again/go see her in a couple days. I feel like this isn't good enough.
Oh, and this is possibly flameful since I am putting the cart way before the horse, but I was browsing jobs in NYC, and several places (in Jersey too) are hiring for lab assistants and entry level chemists. But who would hire me at 6 months PG?
Oh yay! Any word back for your H?
Also, alzi - didn't you get hired when you were very much pregnant?! Come tell jalapeno your success story!
Yep! I got the job on 12/31, started the following week, and went in maternity leave 3/15. If you are the right person for the job, a temporary maternity leave shouldn't stop you from getting it. Though your leave would likely be unpaid, unless otherwise negotiated. But it was the best thing that could have happened to me!!

Lucy asked for bras at target a couple weeks ago so I bought her those tiny little sports bras from Hanes. They're hysterical. I figure they're almost the same as the undershirts she wears anyway, but they don't hang down and out of her tshirts. (hey Hanes? Y u no male xs undershirts?)
DH is sad about it. It's a cropped undershirt not a thong, dingus
9 months. He had just really started pulling to standing and tentatively cruising on the couches. We use it on the grass outside, where there is mroe resistance and it goes slower. I don't think he could use it inside on the hard floors yet.
I think there was a dog that was hit on my way to work. There was a car and cop car next to what I thought was a deer on the side of the road, but then I realized there was a person petting it. :'(I'm unreasonably sad about it.
This is the first time it's snowed here in May since the 1960s. I'm not amused, Mother Nature.
One of my professors isn't willing to work with at all for my neuro appointment. I'm kind of pissed since I've been waking up with headaches every morning for almost 2 weeks. I have to call to reschedule my appointment today.
I'm sick of driving in the snow. I hope this is the last storm.
The bunnies have been BAD the last few days. They're driving me insane. Ralphie kept digging in the little box last night. Gross. Then when it was Bella's turn to come out and play she picked the damn thing up and tried to throw it.
Only one week left before I get a week off between semesters. I'm so ready.

My H just sent me a text that there is a fire in the mountains. I go look outside and I can see the smoke and it's windy today. I hope it can be put out. My allergies are acting up because of the smoke. My Aunt is having surgery today to remove a mass in her stomach. I am praying the Doctors get it all.

DD1 finally slept all night without coughing. Yay I've been extremely stressed out lately with everything that is going on with my son, and having sick kids. I have random moments were I just cry. I feel like I don't have anyone to talk to because my friends wouldn't understand. I'm thinking about going to therapy.
I don't think H got the job he was so excited for. They were supposed to call last night but he never did.
My mom and I had a really good talk yesterday. She finally listened to me instead of telling me to stop being so jealous and refusing to listen to me. I think that's the first time that's ever happened in a very long time.
My Justin Bieber pandora station is perfection this morning.

Looks like you need a Flameful Confessions thread
hahaha probably. I also have a Vanilla Ice and Sean Kingston station. idk which is more flameful.
I have a little curtain hook in my bedroom, that is on the window on my side of the bed .It is screwed into the wall at about boob level, and is made of cast iron . In getting into bed last night, I gouged my right nipple right into this fucking thing and my boob hurts so bad today. It hurt last night too.
Nooooooo!
Mine is that I've been on my mother's case for a month for a list of people she wants me to make sure to invite to a retirement party I'm throwing for her. She sent me a list of "30 people." Um yeah. It's 68 freaking people, basically a small wedding reception. Which should be no problem at all to arrange in a few week's time during wedding season.
Today feels like it should be Friday, but it isn't. This makes me sad. I have a dentist apt. this afternoon. I don't mind the dentist, but it is just a pain in the ass to go.
I'm irrationally annoyed that my co-workers who get here earlier than everyone else don't make the coffee. It would be nice to come into work and be able to go to the kitchen and get coffee, instead of having to clean the pot from the day before, make the coffee, and wait for it. FWP.
When we get to work on Tuesday mornings (our first day at the Salon of the work-week) we have to BRING k-cups, water for the coffee pot, drinking water for the fridge and usually TP. 9 times out of 10, we are out or nearly out of ALL that stuff and rarely does anyone ever replace it.
