Where is squirrelly with the early morning randoms? Hope everything is ok with Forrest!
We told my parents (divorced) and MIL that we are pregnant last night. MIL and my dad were so awesome and you could just hear how thrilled they are. It was amazing. My mom? Not so much. Whyyyy does fucking everything have to be about her!? I may make a separate post about this. I am still so fucking fired up and angry about it. Thanks for sucking the joy out of my news.

I'm sorry your mom can't enjoy your good news and celebrate you guys. That sucks. H and I are under insane stress w/ our home renovation, and we really need to get back on track. He leaves on a week long business trip tomorrow, but I'm hoping we can get if together when he gets home.
Someone slid something under my office door this morning. I went to pick it up and there was a bug on it. The bug jumpped off and I don't know where it went--so now I'm quietly freaking out that it went into my work bag.
(I work in an old building and we have some of the largest roaches I have ever seen in the building--I don't need a baby one showing up at my house)

It was back to school for DD today. H and I are having our annual day out. We both take off work and spend the day together. And the required back to school picture.
I was eating breakfast this morning while E was rolling around the living room. I realized he was really quiet and I looked over to see my flip flop in his mouth. MOTY right here.
It's really hard to type and sing a lullaby at the same time.

My kids have been kind of borderline dickish to me lately; not enough to call them on it but enough to hurt my feelings a little tiny bit. So when I left the house for the day this morning I turned the central air off.
Friday nights we usually watch a comedy when we said AMAZING PIZZA, and we're running low in our library, so I bought 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, The Other Guys and Pineapple Express which should arrive today, and it was supposed to be a small surprise, but H outdid me this week with his stupid "entertainment stand."
Tomorrow we go to see Journey! Yay!
We also get off at 3:00 today. We had a sales contest Tuesday and since we achieved our goal as a group, we get to leave early.
Not to brag, but I slept in, had morning sex and got me myself and I ready for work this morning. The kids are at my parents probably smothering their baby kitties as we speak.
And I am only working a half day. I am getting my haircut, then the mall, then meeting H downtown at 3 pm for drinks and tomfoolery.
There is a neighbor kid ~5 yo that lives down the block from me who just started approaching me in my front yard garden. The first time he asked me if he could have a tomato, I gave him one because I was thrilled that a kid would want to eat one in the first place. Yesterday he asked for another one but I turned him down because I guess his family has a tomato plant too and my plants aren't producing well. So he asks for one of my flowers to give to his mom, but he wants you know, the whole plant. I gave him one stem of black-eyed susan which appeased him. I need to grow a backbone before my whole garden is wiped out by this kid.
Oh also, I feel guilty about this, but I have no idea how friendly I want to get with this kid. His mom was flying off the handle yesterday about something with their next door neighbors and when the kid gave her the flower she started screaming at him :?. I want to foster his interest in food/nature, but I need to figure out what the heck is going on with the mom.
We're leaving for a music festival around noon today. I had very good intentions of going into work for a few hours this morning, but my bed was much nicer than the idea of getting up.
I had to take the kids into work with me unexpectedly to grab my laptop yesterday, and I had us all dressed, fed and out the door by 7, without whining or tears. Getting everyone up and out of the house to drop off at school/daycare this fall might not be miserable, especially since we won't have to do breakfast at home and DH was OOT for this one.
Supposed to be a gloomy rainy weekend and I'm kind of excited for it. I've made my DD run (in my pj's) and I'm back at the pc vegging out. I think the most productive thing I'm going to do today is move the clothes from the washer to the dryer. No folding though - too much effort.

I was kind of disappointed in the ac in our new house- we had to put another window unit in the kitchen bc it was stuffy downstairs. Well. I figured out that DH messed with the settings on the upstairs unit. I fixed then, and now the thermostat says 68 omg I'm so COLDBLOODED (that was an autocorrect. Why?)
Our neighbor is very controlling about the lawn, which sounds annoying, but is actually great bc he just cuts his, ours, and our other neighbor's since they're all connected. For free! I was seriously stressing about FH actually cutting the lawn, bc I can't do it (allergies)
IUD removal was nothing at all. Nothing! So, am I pregnant yet? How about now?
I'm very tired today even though I was in bed by 9:30 last night, and my eyes won't stop itching. I'm pretty sure I'm allergic to work. Every time the AC system kicks on, I start sneezing. Boo hiss.
We have so much cleaning to do between now and Sunday (L's baptism - we had to reschedule from two weeks ago thanks to HFM), and I just don't feel like it. Incidentally, we have a walk-through scheduled with a local cleaning service for Tuesday at 5pm, hah.
We just found out that my H's dept got sold to another company. Not sure if new company will keep any of the employees. They called a meeting for later this morning so maybe he'll get more info then. We just bought our first house and made our first payment today. I'm trying not to freak out.
I keep smelling the faintest hint of a cigar or a pipe. But I don't know where it's coming from--I work in a medical facility, so it shouldn't be anyone actively smoking in here. Maybe the ghosts have taken up smoking as a hobby?
My H told me last night to make an appointment to get my IUD out - he's been bitten by the baby bug. DD1 just turned 7 and DD2 is almost 4 - I'm just barely starting to see the light at the end of the baby/toddler tunnel but I'm not going to lie; I 'd love another baby.
