Happy Monday! This weekend was boring, pretty much worked the entire time. Yesterday I went to visit my mo but when I got there, my uncle and aunt were visiting. My uncle is super duper sensitive to smells and I managed to give him two asthma attacks in 20 minutes. Once with hand sanitizer and once with something that was on my phone. I hightailed it out of there after the second asthma attack because this is the Uncle that is blunt (the one who said that my mom wouldn't make it another year) and I didn't want to get yelled at.
Not much going on today, I have BabyA's son so we might try and go to the park. Other than that, I am just photo editing a maternity shoot that I did this weekend.
I'm up way too early, waiting at PT for my appointment for full assessment and to set a treatment plan. I had to get up at 6:30 to get here on time (H dropped me off and will bring me home). Of course, Ivan chose this morning for his inaugural puke on the new couch
I'm not expecting to go back to work until at least Thursday. I need to be on less painkillers or anything I could get done has too much potential to be addled. Starting the online browsing for a car.
OMG! I guess my summer is over! Back to work today. But technically, I only have to be there from 11-2. tomorrow, it's officially back to school, with regular contracted days starting tomorrow. Wahhhhhh!
I'm riding the struggle bus today. fell asleep at 8:30 and woke up again at 5:30, managed to fall back asleep until 6:30 but I am dragging. yay for first days back. H took off today and tomorrow to help his folks with their place and help them get settled in.
I had a really fun weekend. We went to a BBQ Saturday night with two other couples with girls the same age as Blb. We all really got to know each other better and I felt like we all kind of bonded and all our kid felt comfortable with all the adults as well as the other kids. We are going to try to do a rotating babysitting share thing. After that I went to a bachelorette party at a Chinese food place to sing karaoke and that was a freaking blast.
Sunday we bought a new car and I got to visit with Spun and Thor. And then we took the new car out for a pain to a local park to ride bikes and give our poor dog some attention. We followed the day up with BLTs an, really, you can't beat that.
We got a 2014 Subaru inpreza hatchback. It comfortably fits two car seats in the back and is super sporty and fast. H loves it! It will be his car.

Good morning! I'm still waiting to hear back on the phone interview from last week. Hoping that I interview again this week.
I was :^) with the True Blood Series Finale last night. I was really hoping for the raunchiest threesome in the history of TV between Sookie, Eric and Alcide's ghost. That is how the show should have ended.

Hi,
I've had a crazy busy morning. It's taken me all morning to get organized. Now I don't quite know what to do with myself. I skipped the gym and I'm so glad I did. I am feeling much less sore already and I felt much more awake during my morning team meeting than I usually do. I'm still going to need afternoon coffee though.
Bkb's in undies today. I am hoping she is having luck at grandma's with potty training. She didn't do well last night at my house.
J and I didn't get home until after 11 last night. We were down in Tacoma for the Cubs game. 5 frickin hours! I'm dragging today. And tonight we have our final 2 softball games. Game 1 starts at 8:30 and game 2 at 9:45. WTF? I'm seriously thinking of taking a quick nap when I get home.
I'm not even sure I'm going to be playing tonight. We got home last night and J asked what was on the back of my knee. I have this crazy large bruise and it's swollen. Woke up this morning and it was super swollen. Iced it and hoping that works.
MrsPotatohead, I did know about it and we did that last year. It's fun but really heartbreaking to tour the schools, just FYI. It's also really frustrating because your money could go SO FAR there but they're not set up to take it.
What hotels did you settle on? And what's your itinerary? If there's any overlap I'll be sure to take good notes and report back.
Yeah, I do really wish we could just donate somehow because I feel like that would be so helpful (although the one place says that the money for the village tour they do has helped them bring clean water, so that was cool), but then I also realized it would be expensive for them to buy a lot of the things anyway, trying to bring it in the country. The one place we're going has a few programs set up, one of which is to bring clean bras/underwear which sounds like a really good thing that we take for granted.
We're going to Flatdogs camp and Chundukwa river lodge. I did misjudge how complicated it would be to get from Livingstone to Lusaka and that there would only be one flight each day... out international tickets were also earlier in the day than I wanted so we have to spend the last night in Lusaka, which I'm a little bummed about because we'll have to leave our magical paradise and will probably do a cheap hotel in the city.
ETA: it does also turn out that the one flight we're taking has SUPER strict size limits, so we're still a little stuck on that...
