DD and I are going to head up to the beach today. Last time we were at the beach she was a total stinker, so I'm hoping today she'll be a little more into it! Its going to be too gorgeous today to not take advantage of this gorgeous weather (hot)
Also, since our first date Clark Kent (thank you again careyalis) and I have had dinner twice, gone for a hike, and vegged out just talking and watching bad TV. But he has NOT kissed me. Lots of affection and joking around, but no kiss. I'm not complaining because we both don't want to rush into anything, but come on dude! Ok so maybe I am complaining.

But the build up to the first kiss is so fun!
DH didn't kiss me till the 4th date, turns out it was bc he liked me so much I made him nervous.

Dylan does not sleep! Ever! He was up after 10 pm last night (he came out in the living room at 10) and I head him up at 5:30 this morning when I got up. He's 4! He needs more than 7 hours of sleep!

There is a job posted in my company, that sounds interesting to me, and I am qualified for. It is the first one that has sparked any interest in me.
BUT... I love the flexibility of my job. I get every other friday off, I wfh one day a week. That's unheard of for my role. I am a bit bored and not appreciated, but my job is easy.
Ugh, I think I will just ignore the opportunity, it would be a promotion but I don't need the stress.
Owen had a really rough night. Thankfully H took the brunt of it. That's one of the reasons I'm happy he's in a big boy bed, makes it a bit easier on us.
We ha dinner at my moms last night and it was so fantastic. They smoked a pork shoulder and we had pulled pork and a few delicious salads, plus corn and peach cobbler.
Also, my m has decided I should have the baby on Sept 14. I'm ready to be KU for ever, but I guess that'd be ok!

G has his meet the teacher/open house this morning. I hope my shy guy isn't too shy. I got to meet his teachers last week at the parent orientation and they were great. First (half) day of school is tomorrow!
Back to the grind/routine. Part of me is so happy to be back in, the other half is exhausted and could use another three days of rest. Also, j just came up to me and told me he loved me and kissed me. I love this stage.
A had a tough drop off, because she had a 4-day weekend. Plus, there were older kids at the daycare this morning. I think she also just wanted to stay at home and play in the new house all day. She is loving all the room we have now.
We have a busy week this week - meet and greet at preschool today, first day of soccer class tomorrow, first day of preschool Thursday and then my parents are coming for the weekend Thursday evening.
I'm tired just thinking about it. We've been very lazy the last week or so.
Ugh.... I'm starting to feel such guilt that N is not in school anymore. Ugh.....does anyone else feel this way? I LOVED the enrichment he had at our old dc.

I feel you! I told myself that I could slack off on my career until the kids are in school but I don't know if that's a good plan or not.

I can relate to all of this. Once you have tons of flexibility at work it is hard to go back.

Yep--it is one of the big reasons my dh is working so hard to find a job here in college town. We would have to pull him from school or at least cut way back if he can't find anything and the kid needs school. He learns so much and I love the experiences he gets NOT being the center of attention.
I'm so cheap about things. I just bought a new foundation, but I will use every tool in my bathroom to get every drop and morsel out of my old bottle. Q tips usually work the best.

Carter slept in until 7:40. Annabella is still asleep. It's like a miracle. I hoping it's he recharge they needed. I want to try and get us out of the house a lot this week. Hopefully the weather cooperates.
I just realized that I've only lived in Chicago for about 3 months. It feels like it's been longer and I was stressing about not being so established. It's only been 3 months! Chill out, brain.
Thanks to the UO (I think) last week, and a sale at the grocery store. I'm sitting here eating frosted strawberry pop toarts for breakfast. I ate all the crusts off first, and then ate the frosted bit. Yum.
sunshineluv you don't have to apply--but sometimes new work challenges make you more energized not less. But that schedule you have now sounds sweet.
This is part of what makes me so torn. I would like to be excited about my job again. I get nervous even thinking about being in a new role though.
Also, there is a possibility I will be promoted next year in this role, and I could keep this schedule! I won't know for a while though. AND, I can move anywhere and keep this job, as long as I can find an office to work in (which is easy, I work for a HUGE company). Our 3 year plan is to try to move back towards family, it would be nice to just move with my job, but I also don't want to just sit and wait for years for something that may or may not happen.
I know the guy who had the job that is posted, he was only in it for a year, that scares me, he may have hated it. I need to find his non work email and contact him (I think he left the company).

Well, 80% chance of rain and severe thunderstorms and Boomer woke up with his eyes swollen almost shut with hives and spots he scratched raw. Tuesday morning was good while it lasted, lol.
Have I mentioned how much i hate air conditioning? It is like 45 degrees of forced air in here
Ahhhhh
I normally wear long sleeves and sweaters even during the summer at work because of this. I actually keep a fleece jacket at work just in case my sweater doesn't cover it.
