Yesterday I spent a good amount of time looking for Paris/Rome pricing next spring. We are not even in a position right now to take such a trip. BUT I WANNA GO.

GOAB, I'd have the same reaction too.
We were having 40mph wind gusts last night. We live in an older home with old windows and they were rattling so badly that I didn't sleep at all last night. Around midnight D woke up because it was freaking her out and I brought her in bed with us. I wish I could sleep like H, that idiot was just snoring away like there was nothing going on.
It's also mornings like this that I'm glad we rent. The last time we had wind like this our gate broke and shingles were ripped off the roof, and it happened again last night. I'm so glad we don't have to worry about fixing it.
Oh, and next week I'm taking Wednesday and Friday off, and I CAN'T WAIT! We've done a few short trips this year, but most of the time taken off has been for moving. I feel so behind on home stuff I need to do for Thanksgiving, so I really need the time. I'm also excited that I will finally be able to decorate and all that shiz.
I also got all my Rudolph characters in! They are very cute, although not super...sturdy. I am also very concerned about them being stolen. I went online last night and the suggestions for securing your lawn ornaments were like, "Okay, pour a cement block..." Lolz. We might end up doing a window display instead.
I was out of the office yesterday, but I didn't miss much so today should be an easy Friday.
H wants to go see the new Thor movie tonight. I'm not really interested in seeing it, but I'll get breakfast out tomorrow out of the deal so we'll probably go.
My nephew has decided he's tired of our small town and is moving to 'kind of Seattle.' So, with these concrete plans, he's leaving town in less than a week. My dad said he would give him his Christmas cash early, to help with the trip and getting settled, and asked me to send him a message to tell him so.
So, I sent him a fb message saying, 'Hey, nephew, Grandpa wants to see you to wish you luck and tell you goodbye before you leave. He's got your Christmas gift, as do I. So let us know when we could meet up for a quick visit before you leave.' I sent the message a week ago, and can see that he read it, but no response. Um, wasn't it pretty clear that we're trying to give him cash? That's what we always give him for Christmas, bdays, etc. Lol, I would have been all over that at his age.
We're having a Thanksgiving dinner at SIL's house tonight. She's having 20 people over and then more people after dinner for dessert. I don't want to go. This is the first weekend that I will have off in 5 weeks and I want to be lazy, eat pizza and clean. Plus I'm not really in the mood for MIL.
We're putting our Christmas decorations up this weekend. We always do the tree on a weekend that we have SD, which is this weekend. I don't want to wait until December 8 so the weekend before Thanksgiving it is. We are hosting Thanksgiving dinner (and my dad's birthday) next week and I just know my dad is going to give me a hard time about the Christmas tree. LOL
These cramps I am having are no joke and for some reason the midol I took 45 minutes ago is not kicking in. whyyyyyyyy. It usually works miracles in like 20 minutes.
I think I have mastitis. Fuck. No fever yet, though, so..
Mastitis can get very bad (like, dangerous) very quickly. Just be on the lookout. As soon as you get a fever or start to feel malaise and general achiness, call the doc for an antibiotic prescription.
Hugs. I had it three times and each time it was the worst thing ever
No redness yet, either. Just a very sore boob. Usually when I get a blocked duct I can feel a lump and the pain is just in that one spot. It seems to be improving, though. It isn't sore all over anymore.
cjoy how did your parent teacher meeting go? I know you were concerned.
Aw, thank you for asking. We met with the social worker for about 30 minutes and she asked roughly a million questions about Elliot, then she let us know what her plans were for working with him. He has his first session next week; after a few of those we'll re-evaluate. She's also going to put together some information for us about getting him privately evaluated. Not a lot of answers, but I'm feeling hopeful.
Oh good! I'm glad the ball is rolling and he will get the attention he needs. He is such a cute, rambunctious kid!

H wants to go see the new Thor movie tonight. I'm not really interested in seeing it, but I'll get breakfast out tomorrow out of the deal so we'll probably go.
We went and saw Thor last week and it was really good! If you like those kinds if movies you'll really like it. There's a lot of action in it.
We are putting up our tree today. My girls have been asking and we finally just agreed to do it. They are so excited.
Tonight I have dinner with 7 of my BFF's. We have all been friends since 3rd grade and we get together every year for either thanksgiving or Christmas. I can.not.wait!!! We always have so much fun together. (heart)
I just pumped for the first time and got 2oz. That means with one more pumping session I should have enough for a whole feeding. This makes me feel like a rock star. Lol.

I do like those kinds of movies, but it's the only kind we go see anymore because the action ones are really the only ones worth the prices. I'll get Milk Duds and maybe an Icee tonight plus breakfast in the morning so it's a win-win.
I had the greatest Supernatural dream last night. Cas saved me with his last Angel powers at the end of the world. I asked him if we were in Heaven and then I heard Dean say "No, but we're still alive." and then me and Cas made out. My alarm went off before it got really good. Dammit. (only Supernatural fans will get this, sorry you sad people who don't watch the show)
I have the stinkiest toots right now ever. I'm so glad my officemate is OOT right now, but unfortunately that means anyone who comes up here will know it was me. Sorry y'all.
We're putting out Christmas decorations this week. I DONT CARE IF ITS EARLY!
I'm gonna throw this whine in here. I've had a cold all week and i HAAAATE being a SAHM when I'm sick. H had this cold, too, and he took a day off work and slept all damn day. I have to just KOKO, working 13 hours a day. I just feel really crappy and I want to sleep.
H offered to watch L this morning so I could go nap, but she has a gymnastics class in about an hour that I have to take her to. :**(
I'm on a fucking walker again today. Stupid leg started seizing during the night again. The pain has stopped but I can't put weight on it without it going off. Moments like this I know I can't do a VBAC.
I am so proud of my H, he got a call last week and went to lunch yesterday with one of his former audit client who basically offered him his DREAM job. It is basically being the technical accounting expert for a very big well known company. They just said they want him, and he can think about it, but they don't want to lose him, and they will come back with a packaged offer this coming week. This is amazing, especially since he was kinda depressed at his current job and jobs at this level of specialization are few and far between, especially in a smaller city like Montreal (compared to Toronto). (may DD, PDQ)
I am having a baby boy, did I mention that already?
Oh and on a not so happy (but WBCIIY) note, I am FURIOUS about what just happened to one of my best friends. She is on maternity leave with her second child, who is 7 weeks old. She has a 2.5 yo that goes to an inhome daycare that she has been to since the age of 1, and that they are very happy with. This morning, her DCP told her that she will not renew her contract because it is against her values to watch a child who's mother is at home, and that she can't believe how much that little girl goes to daycare when her mother could take care of her. WTMF bitch? She sends her from 8:30-3:30, 4 days a week. She spends her entire days nursing and changing diapers. And now she feels like the worst mother ever because of that crazy bitch. I am SO ANGRY. I would drop by for coffee and to give her giant hug but she lives in Quebec City.

We got a new co-worker this week. One of my other CWs recommended her and she is pretty cool. Well today, she and the other CW went to lunch together. They invited all the other 2 technical staff except for me. It has been happening for the past couple of days.
We all use to go to lunch together but I don't know what happened. I thought it was because I brought my lunch, but they usually ask if I brought my lunch before they leave. Oh well .

I am now furious for your friend. OMG. I am at home with my second, he's 2 weeks old and my toddler goes to daycare 3 days a week, and I've only had people tell me how smart that is and how good it will be for everyone. I don't think I would be able to emotionally handle someone judging me so harshly in my hormonal sleep deprived state right now. Ugh.
