I posted on MM that my Grandma died last night. This shit is so hard. As I drove home I thought, "ML talked about McDs nuggets and orange drink...MUST. HAVE. NOW." I got the kids meal and gave the Despicable Me toy to SO.
I had such bad back pain last night, which sometimes leads to the cramping of what I think is my uterus. I almost woke up and asked H to take me to emerg, but it passed and the baby was moving lots so I finally got to sleep around 4 am. I don't want to the baby to be born now because I know that would not be good for her, but I am done being pregnant and it isn't even third tri yet. On the good note, once I did get to sleep I had a few secual dreams of H, lol.
I need to go out and run errands, but I am way too damn lazy.
I'm getting together with some of the women in my family today and offered to make cupcakes, but I forgot what a process it is and now I'm tired, lol. Obviously I was not born to bake.
Also, my day started off with H bringing me breakfast in bed. He's a keeper.
I cleaned off the kitchen counter and wiped everything down. I bought a 99 cent "spray bottle" at Wal-Mart the other week (it's just a water bottle with a sprayer top, lol). Turns out, that spray top fits a bottle of vinegar. Everything is getting the vinegar rub down now and it makes me ridiculously happy because I'm allergic to bleach and this is the next best thing.
Even though I'm not pregnant I keep getting coupons in the mail for baby formula. I have $30 worth of coupons at the moment and they send me more every month. I'm going to cash them in on formula and see if the Church could use them. There's a good chance it'd either be used locally or sent to Haiti. I feel bad getting the magazine they come in because it's useless for me, the coupons at least. I do collect the magazine, but I don't ever remember signing up for it. It just showed up one day.
We are going to a friend's house for dinner tonight. Normally I make dessert and she provides dinner for the 5 of us, but she mentioned she found a new recipe and wants to make it, so I told her my husband and I would provide dinner. I'm just going to stop and get a bunch of sandwich fixings. I love that we have a nice solid friendship with these people, it took us 2.5 years of living here to connect with them but it was worth it.
This is a great idea that I never thought of.
I started having formula sent to me after I had a miscarriage and have been mad at those gd companies ever since!
I didn't need to formula after I had C, but had a coworker that took it from me which made me feel better that I wasn't letting it go to waste.

My H took C after he woke up early at like 6:15, went to the grocery store with him, and put him down for his nap at 9.
I actually slept until 9:30, which I never do. Now I'm sitting here with my coffee, it's almost like my pre-kid days!
I have a hair appointment for today (highlights) and I'm thrilled. Haven't had it done since Jan. We also got a sitter and are having a date night. Ughh I used to make fun of those people that would call going out to dinner with their spouses "date night". Now I get it!
I really, really want to go to a concert today but it would involve parking far away, walking at least 4-6 blocks away, and carrying a lawn chair and bag filled w/everything we might need (sunscreen, hats, wipes, water, bug spray, etc.) and I think it might be just too much for me to handle yet. I was going to take my goddaughter and it's really bothering to know I'm disappointing her. She said, "I still want to go but if you can't handle it, I'll understand." If I could find someone who was willing to drop us off, it could work but no one can do it and DH can't drive yet.
I hate the fact that H has to work yet another year on my nephews birthday. I'm only going so I can keep my mom and dad (mostly dad) company. I'll have to use my crutches but it aint no thang.

I'm so tired of not sleeping. I think it's a combination of quitting smoking and going to therapy. I think I need to take something for a few days to help with it, but I don't know what.
I think we're going to spend the day shopping and we might go see a movie later, so yay for that .

Couldn't your goddaughter drop you off at the entrance and then go park the car? You could sit your butt in your lawn chair at the entrance and just wait for to park, walk, and then meet you.

Oh, and I just need to squee about this one more time and then I promise I will drop it (at least for a little while). My H forwarded the email that his RCMP recruiter sent and it said, "Before you leave for Depot, you will need to renew your First Aid/CPR certification". Now perhaps, I am reading too much into it, but I think this is a very good sign as she didn't say, "Provided you are successful and offered a spot at Depot..." I think this means that he's in! I'm a notorious "count your chickens before they hatch" kind of person though. H said he won't believe until he has the offer in his hand.
My mom and dads asshole dog doesn't sleep unless he's touching someone. It made sleep impossible since he constantly moves around. My dad is picking him up today and I can't wait. This dog is such a jerk!
DS is presently learning a hard lesson about what happens when you build your Lego toy, take it apart and spread the pieces all over the house and then decide you want to build it again.

Oh, and I had the stupidest dreams last night that kept me awake.
In the first one I dreamt the naked chicks from the Robin Thicke video were standing outside all of our sliders (4 of them) and were waiting till we fell asleep so they could break in.
In the second dream Voldemort was chasing me while I flew threw the house. lol
Theo had a bit of a rough night last night. I don't know what's going on. Growth spurt? I don't think so because he's 9 weeks. Getting sick of his swaddling? Ugh, I don't know. All I know is he didn't fall asleep until 10:45, then was up every 1.5-2 hours all night long, wiggling around and fussing. Funny enough, he's sleeping solid right now.
I'm also getting frustrated with this dairy sensitivity of his. I'm not frustrated with him, I'm frustrated with how hard it is to avoid any and all traces of dairy.
I've started watching orange is the new black on Netflix. It's so good. I'm going to be sad when I finish this season.

Us too! I'm home alone today and trying to restrain myself from watching it without H.
My cat is losing her shit because she sees a moving reflecting light, flying insect, or ghost. I'm just going to go with option 1 for my sanity.
I'm trying to eat better and lower my carb intake a bit, but all I want to do is make focaccia, cut it into thick strips and douse them in more olive oil, and then bake the bread sticks until crispy.
Fucking period. I've been bleeding/spotting for a week+, feel like ass, and I am emotionally losing my shit because everyone is having babies except for me. And I feel like someone punched me in the back of the head. Ugh. I need to clean the house.
