I'm so sore from raking yesterday. I am obviously old and out of shape. And we have so much stuff still to do in the yard today. I hate un-fun Sundays.
We are taking a break to eat lunch at the winery, at least. And I just rolled out of bed and H said he would get started on stuff this morning since I did a bunch of raking yesterday, so I'm sitting here sipping coffee and reading my new HGTV magazine.
We spent all day painting last yesterday and it looks awesome! Like amazing awesome compared to the previous color. The fumes gave me a headache so DH woke me up with a starbucks this morning.
Plus it's a beautiful autumnal day, which are my favorite sort of days.

@jezebel Mostly we live too close to her for our comfort lol. She's dramatic. She absolutely has to have her way, and when she doesn't she pouts and makes everyone around her feel guilty and miserable. Last night's blow up sparked after I told her she has too much influence over my kids. Like when I say no to something, they have started whining later to her and she starts in with poor baby, grandma will fix it, mean old mommy bullshit. So I told her it needed to stop (and DD1, because she's 6 and knows better) and she lost it.

I love Sunday mornings. DH is wrangling DD while I look at Thanksgiving recipes on Pinterest. Later, DH is making my pre-birthday dinner: steak, mashed potatoes and brussels sprouts.
I'm kind of nervous about my Grandma being so sick. She won't breathe through her nose so she isn't getting oxygen. She doesn't get oxygen, she doesn't go home. She doesn't go home, she's stuck in the hospital. I just want her out of the hospital. I hate being HERE and not THERE. I can't do anything anyway. It's not like being there right now will change anything. I'll be gone for about a week or so..depending on my Grandma. I just hate waiting and not knowing anything.
I wanted to take the kids out for breakfast but ds didn't want to go. What's wrong with him? We are going out for lunch instead
My house is a disaster. I'm so glad I took this Thursday off - the plan is to get it really clean and cross my fingers that we don't destroy it again before we leave on Saturday. I hate coming home from a vacation to a messy house!
My dog woke me up right on time this morning because she wanted breakfast. She's so damn cute.
I need to find the motivation to meal plan, grocery shop, do laundry, and light cleaning today. Tomorrow is full with two workouts and a leisurely mimosa brunch. I am *so* looking forward to it!
I have a whole day ahead of me taking in the Portland sights. I'm having brunch with some GBCN'ers in a couple hours, which is awesome. I'll do some downtown shopping after that and just generally chilling out in my room after that. I've had such a stressful four months at work--it's so nice to be able to not worry about anything for a day or two.
It was so hard for me not to tear up in my walk to the coffee shop this morning. I so miss the Oregon autumn weather and the red maple trees and all that stuff. The fruit I had this morning (room service) was so fresh and amazing. I have three more years in Alaska, and then I get to come "home" again. **sniffle**

I got the cheapest, most comfortable fleece maternity zipper hoodie from Walmart.com. I love it and I'm so comfortable and feel cozy-cute. I've been having trouble putting together occasion-appropriate outfits for the weekends lately where I still feel presentable.. I just got this in the mail yesterday and I feel perfect for our day. It's really put a good spin on my mood.
It looks BLAH on their website, but it's cute on. I bought the grey one.
Went out with SIL last night and for the most part we had a good time. Except, I totally made her mad at me :/ she broke up with her bf months ago and she just won't stop talking about him, it's getting insane. Her mom and everyone else have had it with her talking about him, and for the most part, so have I. I've been super nice about it up until now, but last night I just kinda snapped.

I'm super duper anxious this weekend. It sucks. I'm not sure if any of you remember me talking about going part time at work, but I mentioned it to my immediate supervisor and she made me feel as if our manager may try to cock block me out of this position. I'm so distraught over this. I will be SO ANGRY if she does this.
In other news, I really want to be finished with Christmas shopping by the end of November. I should probably get started huh. LOL
Is it nap time yet? I got about 4 hours of sleep and I'm tired. I usually shower after I put ds down for a nap but I'm so anxious to take a nap when he does that I decided not to shower. And I really need to clean but I'm goin to put it off until tonight after the kids go to ved or nap time tomorrow.

Oh no. What did you say!?
Well, she went out on a date with a guy she met online. She was comparing exbf to this new guy and was just going on and on. (Exbf got a gf almost immediately after she broke up with him, so that's a huge reason why she feels so hurt. Also she knew he wasn't right for her right away, but continued to date him for 8 months) She said something like "if I really wanted a bf, I could totally just latch on to the first guy I see etc.". I said something like "well don't just settle, make sure he's a quality guy before you waste 8 months with him". Bitchy I know, but I'm just so sick of her talking about him, I kind of had enough.

I understand. I have a friend in a similar situation. It's hard to listen to over and over. I don't think what you said is so bad. Advising her not to settle is probably good advice actually.

Ya, I didn't think it was so terrible at the time but SIL is really really sensitive. She went quiet right away and stayed pissed at me all night.
