We leave for vacation tomorrow and I am not ready. I still need to prepare work stuff and pack, and tonight I have to present at a meeting from 5-7. I'm excited to go, but want to leave now instead of doing all of the rushing around until then. FWP.
It is our 4 year anniversary and 11 years of being together today. Which is crazy. Work is going to suck but we've booked tomorrow off to do a couples massage and then it's off to the cottage for the weekend.
Random fact: This will now be the 19th year in a row that it hasn't rained on this date in my hometown. We're on a freaking roll.
I am so tired and grumpy this morning. My dog has decided for the past week or so that she needs to wake us up at 4:15 in the morning by crawling on us and licking our faces. She doesn't need to go potty--H has tried taking her when she's done this. She is just up and ready to play.
And oh, look, now she's snoozing away at my feet while I get ready for work. Must be nice.
I just landed in Dallas for my layover to Florida. A bagel and coffee are in my immediate future, thank god.
What time was your flight that you're in Dallas this early?!?
Today is our last day with the kids home with a sitter, Tuesday I'm going to telework in an empty house with DS at daycare and DD at school, and Wednesday I'm going to come home from work and everything is going to be exactly as I left it. I'm so, so grateful that we could afford it (barely) for the year we needed it, but having a nanny was just so weird for me. I don't like having other people in my space.
I'm burying this is in here because I want to AW it but not jinx myself: my 4 day old has been giving us 3-4 hour stretches of sleep at night. Like, two 3-4 hour stretches in a row. I'm tired, but not the crazy, crying all night tired I was with Ollie. It's so different.
It's started already. yesterday I got a call from DD's principal...apparently on the first day (they started Tuesday) B went and hid when they were bringing kids in from afternoon recess. They realized as they were counting heads for pick up line that she wasn't there and found her hiding behind a tree. So yesterday morning they had her meet with the principal and guidance counselor to talk about it and then called me to let us know. This kid is going to be the death of me I swear. We had such a rough year with her last year and on the very first day we're having issues again.
We've already got the ball rolling for evaluation and the principal said she's going to schedule a meeting with last years teacher, guidance, special ed, and herself to discuss a plan. After they meet she will meet with us.
I spent all last year dreading pick up and I was really hoping this year would be different. I feel like someone let the air out of my balloon.

James Franco was in my dream last night. He was putting on a show for a very small audience at Texas A&M University. It was interactive and he got me to smoke a cigar. After it was over he took a picture with me and was giving me life advice. I handed my phone over to a woman to take the picture. She took off with my phone. Then I woke up in a panic that my phone was gone.

1. My dad is in the hospital. I'm worried. I wish I could just go home.
2. Bernadine - I'm jealous of your business trip. I think it would be kinda cool to travel for work. I've had to do it once - to Pittsburgh and I loved it.
I have a place in my nostril that is super itchy and it keeps making me sneeze.
I had a dream last night that I was sleeping at work (because that totes makes sense) and I got up in the middle of the night to pee, and I ran across the building in my undies and no bra. And an old lady who was in my bed (lol) yelled at me for being "outside" without a bra.
Oh also, my ex emailed me and said that he has received the divorce papers. I'm so happy! He better not fuck anything up and sign them and send them back ASAP!
I raced home last night to be home when someone wanted to pick up the tv stand we listed on craigslist. He texted H he wanted to one this morning instead. I got up early so I'd be ready when he came. Texted H to say "can we make it Friday evening?" Nope, it's getting listed again today. If we still have it tomorrow then we can discuss.
Contractors are expecting to be done today. I can't wait until Saturday when we go see the work and new paint!!

@wandering do patients call you Dr. Wandering ? I was actually thinking about this last night. Are there separate titles for those that are not done with residency/training/notsurewhatwordto use.
Thank you. H and I do have our own plan in place and have already discussed everything with her Pedi. We just were hoping this year would be better. It'll all work out, it's just frustrating because she is a good kid. She just has zero impluse control.
Yay to going out last night! Boo to having to get up for work! I found a happy little place between buzzed and drunk last night and actually feel fine this morning, I just don't want to put down my coffee and go shower.
I just need to finish this week, get through next week and then I'm on vacation starting the 8th. I will probably repeat this information in randoms every morning until it finally gets here. Then I'll blow the whole week sitting on my ass getting nothing done. And I'll enjoy it.
I loved the last bra I bought so much that I got another one on sale. This one is even better. I'm going to scour the internet to find more from this line. So perky.

H comes home tomorrow! He's been gone a month.
Walking around some gardens/ mansion at this place my kids have been wanting to go to today with my aunt. She is so much fun with a huge personality. She moved up recently from Texas. One last day with kids and aunt before my school year routine. I'm excited but exhausted. Ds and I stayed up until 11:30 last night cleaning his room. At least it looks fantastic now.
