Last night, at the point where I was starting to visit dreamland, I dreamt I was driving along and a bicyclist was next to me. All of the sudden the bicycle rider fell over without warning and was run over by my car. I shot straight up awakened, and my heart was pounding like mad. Not cool brain, not cool.
I haven't been ovulating for months. Last time I got pregnant, I had taken this herbal supplement. I got pregnant two weeks after starting to take it. I was still skeptical, but starting taking it again last week and walla! Ovulating. Maybe there is something to this.
This probably would have been more appropriate for GetP, but I am just very excited about it! Those OPK sticks were really adding up.
I bought an air purifier to serve as my white noise machine once we take the window A/C out. The low setting is too quiet and the high setting is too loud. I'll probably just end up using a box fan.
i have a follow up appointment today at 11 with my OB's office. it's with the rather cold OB i saw earlier this week. i just know she's going to look me in the eye and be like "ugh, you're not ACTUALLY in labor. gtfo." except with nicer words.
i almost cancelled when they told me she was the one available. I'M FRAGILE, OKAY.
My baby has a bum rash already (she is only 2 weeks old). We used a store brand diaper for the first time (someone gave them to us, not even sure whaIt store they are from) and I think that's what caused it it is causing her a lot of discomfort, poor babe
@missusbee, that hair!! Every time I see a pic of your son I get the ear to ear smile. He's just too cute.
He needs another cut. It grows so fast--such a mop.
This is "silly face". Its what he does when you say "silly face". Usually he makes jazz hands to go with it but I guess he was holding the pumpkin instead.
I have a few FB friends who about bi-weekly post ridiculous "chain" email thingys with warnings about stupid stuff. Mainly like urban legends (STRAWBERRY FLAVORED METH TO MAKE KID DRUG ADDICTS! ZOMG! HIV NEEDLES UNDER GASPUMP HANDLES!!!11!!). Everytime I post the snopes.com link telling them it's false. And now I'm starting to wonder how people I am "friends" can be so fucking stupid.
Also. I just got into work and popped a Xanax first thing. I had an epically bad day yesterday and am already on edge, so I figured I needed to calm the fuck down.
I'm cleaning "house" at the office today. I need to rearrange 2 supply rooms to make room for new supplies that will be coming in and I'm tired of the backside of my "C" shaped desk being the catch all for all kinds of random shit. So I wore jeans today since I'll be moving a lot of boxes. I have to throw away like 8 boxes of forms because when they were printed last year while I was on maternity leave, the person that ordered them made the mistake of putting an actual name on the forms and that person is no longer here so I had to order new generic forms and I have to throw the other ones away.
I'm super sleepy today. I'm trying to get caffiene in me quickly, but I can't even do that fast right now.
I used a bottle of flavored creamer in an insanely quick time ? I'm telling myself they just don't sell sizes like they used to?!? Lol I have a bad addiction to flavored creamers.
I'm pretty sure this shit will eventually kill me. I go through a sick amount every week.

I took my son on a Starbucks date this morning. I've just recently realized that he is a lovely companion for this sort of thing - he watches the cars and people while eating and I get a fancy cup of coffee. It's glorious all around.

I am so fucking unmotivated an just so tired lately. We've all been a little sick so I've been eating like crap and not exercising much. And the house has been TORE UP because I've been redoing the cabinets which are finally done, thank god. The kitchen has been chaos so we've been having to eat out a lot.
I need to get my ass in gear and get back with the program. I hate when I get the blahs.
A giant bottle and a half per week is totally normal, riiiiight?
This is my crack:
The other women in my office use this in their instant coffee in massive amounts. I can't figure out why, but the combination of the instant coffee with that creamer smell like meat to me! It is so weird!
Work drama. Today is potluck day for a surprise baby shower for a girl at work. C, who used to date J (exclusive for about a year), sent out the invite email for the surprise shower. Well, she neglected to include O who is J's current GF (of about a year). I'm sure it wasn't intentional but it looks shitty. So O asked me about it. I said I'm sure it was an oversight and she's welcome to join us, etc. She was all "no, don't worry, NBD". Now, she's in her cubicle (next to mine) bitching about it to anyone who will listen. Don't harsh on my potluck day, man.
i have a follow up appointment today at 11 with my OB's office. it's with the rather cold OB i saw earlier this week. i just know she's going to look me in the eye and be like "ugh, you're not ACTUALLY in labor. gtfo." except with nicer words.

ha.
Any update?
And I'll the story later but the dr I like was inducing me. Shit all hit the fan yesterday and she has some crazy surgeries and the one dr I can't stand was called in. I swear to god he was flirting w te midwife while taking his fucking sweet time stitching me up yesterday. Actually teaching her how to stitch. I don't think he even acknowledged I was a human being and maybe an intelligent one when I'd ask a question- like about the placental delivery and such. Dickweed. Once again any slight plans I had were out the window yesterday, but you know what? I have a kick ass little kid and screw the dr who I will never opt to see again. Young. Arrogant dismissive prick. He didn't come across any differently than at the office. Lol, he was on call all weekend and one extra positive of induction was that I could avoid him. Hahah.
Anyway. Stand your ground to get answers. I hate when doctors are like that. I know so many human ones who realize we're intelligent professionals as well with feelings. The jackass ones really suck in comparison
So. How are you! I've been thinking of you all morning. Nice symmetrical date! 3 yrs late but cool bday nonetheless . But, I'd rather you get your time and ability to relax a little first.
(Or you and I could have held out for 11/12/13 hahahahahaha not happening)

I had to go observe a preschool classroom this morning and am happy that we can check that one off our list for when we start searching for a preschool for D.
I'm slightly hungover today. I had two ciders last night and now I just want greasy hangover food.

you're sweet to check in.
the appointment went well. i put on my serious lawyer face, which the doctor responded to much better (ha). she was pleasant and reassuring. i still may not make it to my induction date, but my water didn't break and i'm at the same dilation as i was on tuesday.
I just went online and saw that the job I interviewed for twice and lost out to someone else is posted again. I guess she didn't work out and they'd rather interview a bunch of new people than call me. Awesome.
I went for a second interview somewhere else yesterday but when I got there they were too busy to meet with me. I met with the same person as last week, she gave me a tour, introduced me to the department but doesn't have the authority to offer me a position. I spent the next 45 minutes waiting in the lobby just for them to tell me to go home. I emailed her last night and offered to come back today to meet with the director when he has a few minutes but she's never emailed me back.

How bad was it? I've already done my research, bought the supplies, and picked my stain color. I'm asking for it aren't I?
Oh, cool! It wasn't *that* bad. Just a lot of steps and a lot if waiting between dry times. It was made worse by the fact that we all got sick, I'm doing all of the cabinets in the house by myself and H was OOT for a lot of it. We're putting on the hardware tonight and I have to say, it looks amazing. I really love it and it was sooo worth it!

I legit almost fell asleep in a 3 hour work meeting this morning. I am struggling with the time change. Plus the topic was boring.
I don't understand people who work out sick. There's the germ side of it, and then there's the you're not really getting in a great workout, and you're delaying fully feeling better. Weird.
I am about to have a Red Bull. I need more caffeine.
I don't work out when I'm really sick or in the midst of it but if I didn't workout with every cold or sore throat that might be contagious, I'd never workout in the fall, lol. I'd also never send my kid to school because our entire house is always fighting something in the fall it seems. I hate it. Now fevers, stomach flu, nasty coughs and we stay home.
