I'm excited my rec room will soon be back together. The great flood of July 2014 did not win! I'm so excited to have it finished to have room for the kidlets to play again!

I am buried under so much grading this week. Don't know how I'll get it all done in a timely fashion. I am of no use after about 8 PM each night.
A couple clothes orders I purchased over the weekend said they have shipped, so I am (unrealistically) hoping they get here today. I doubt it, since one was in PA last night when I checked lol.
My neighbor found this cat last night. She knocked on a few doors and then posted on the neighborhood Facebook page. It obviously has owners, he's very clean and fluffy.
DH is allergic and my dogs would terrorize him....but I want him. But I won't take him because it wouldn't be fair to him to live in a house with dogs trying to get him all the time but omgggg so soft and purry!
Both dogs have been sick with raging diarrhea for the last week (little dog got it, recovered and then big dog got it). I swore off all pets forever but I want to snuggle this cat.
A little more than a random to follow....Oh boy, I'm entering a relatively new stage with my parents, they're 71 and 75 and are very different personality types. Next month they will have been married 50 years and have been fighting so much lately that they are considering separating! After 50 years!!!! They've decided to cancel their anniversary trip next month and she is consulting a lawyer. They both play a role in these problems but my father has become more argumentative and my mom more judgmental. I'm just trying to stay neutral and offer them each the support they need.
Tonight I have a retirement dinner for someone that I'm not very close with and the guest list is apparently very limited so I feel weird having been invited. I wish I didn't have to go.
A co-worker of mine has been offered an employment deal outside of our company and he really should take it but I'm going to miss working with him. Selfishly, I will now have to train his replacement and I just got finished breaking him in.
I'm irritated. My car was badly rear-ended a couple of weeks ago, and I took it right in to the body shop with authorization from the other driver's insurance company. They updated me several times during the 11-day repair job, assuring me each time that it was on schedule to be done by midday yesterday. I cleaned out my rental Monday night, drove to work, and waited for the phone call letting me know it was ready to be picked up. I should have called them, but they had been so good about communicating with me that I didn't until it was after 5 and they were closed. It's actually more convenient for me to get it today since I'm off work, but I keep wondering if there was some problem with the final stage of repairs and the car isn't actually done.
God, no, WEDNESDAY randoms, this week is long enough already!
I'm still sick, so I dropped kids off at school and daycare, came home and immediately put pj's on. I can't complain about two telework days in a row.
I screwed up and didn't notice that the address was wrong on an order I put in at LLBean, and their customer service was SO helpful getting it fixed. Can't wait for allllll the plaid to get here tomorrow!

Bean's customer service is so, so awesome. Love them.
H came through on the anniversary weekend! I suspect he got a nudge from my MIL though lol. He booked a room at a fancy hotel in Providence this weekend and got a reservation at a nice restaurant. I'm excited!
Monday, I leave work at 1:30, take him to the doctor, he gets a clean bill of health, I take him BACK to my office, pick up stuff because it took so damn long that it made no sense to take him back to daycare, work at home while he naps then work until 12 after he goes to bed.
Yesterday, I take him to daycare. Get a call at 3 that ALLEGEDLY he has a fever, banned from daycare for 24 hours. So, I pick him up, take him to my office because I have a call, get work to take home, work at home until 1:45 until after he goes to bed.
Now I'm up with him while he cries and blows snot all over me and I feel like death.
Why am I doing all of this even though the husband no longer has to bill hours at his new job? BECAUSE HE HASN'T ACCRUED ANY TIME OFF YET. I'm taking a nap this afternoon.

I found an old Billabong hoodie from highschool. I'm rocking it today because it's freezing here and a huge, oversized stoner hoodie makes me feel nostalgic and shit.
The gender reveal party happened. Thank goodness we brought a gift (albeit small and more of a "gag" gift) because it was like a shower.
Oh, and I almost cried. Like not out of happiness but out of sadness for my uterus and what might never be. So, yay? Good thing there was wine. I felt so silly but oh well. Feelers are silly things.
I bent over on Monday and did something to my lower back, it made a bone grinding on bone sound. I can't walk normally and I have to use a cane because I'm afraid my left leg is just going to give out.
I must be super vain because it is so embarrassing! People keep asking me if I am okay and I want to just shuffle away and ignore the whole thing. I guess falling would be MORE embarrassing, hence the cane.
On top of all of it my allergies are killing me and my head feels loopy and out of it.

We bought Ellie and my niece tickets to "Frozen on Ice" as presents from Santa. We're going during school vacation week in February. It's going to be me, Ellie, my bro, SIL, niece, my mom and my dad. H works on Saturdays so he gets put of it-plus the tickets are $63 per person! $$$$$$$$$ for the Disney machine.
Hold me. Thousands of kids singing "Let it Go" at once....
I cannot believe it's been 6 months already, Squirrely. Good luck to F!
I told my boss yesterday that I'm pregnant. She cried. We started talking about my maternity leave, and I mentioned that it would be short because it would be all unpaid because I don't have a lot of leave time saved up. She then mentioned that she was going to look into seeing if she can donate her sick time to me because she never uses it. I know she won't be able to, but I love that she suggested it. I love working for her <3

The results of my echocaridgram were delivered via voice mail yesterday, bicuspid arotic valve I don't know what this means and I'm really nervous that this will keep me from being cleared for egg donation. I feel like I keep getting knocked down in my effort to get knocked up.
Ive started doing some easy ab exercises and light weights in the mornings this week and I'm pissed I haven't lost any more baby weight yet. Lol.
I'm sitting at the vet office with Vivi and Walter cat. I'm hoping that he's finally well enough to come out of the dog crate, or at least get the cone off. He's been in the dog crate for 23.5 hours a day for almost 2 months and I think it's breaking his spirit : (
I WFH and my desk faces the neighbors house. The sweet old couple next door moved out and a bitchy early 20 girl moved in (I think she's bitchy because she made some really rude comments about the old couple "getting over it" when they were sad about moving out and a few other things) Anyway I look out my window and she has some dude cutting branches off the little tree in my front yard? What the hell!?! I'm obviously home since you're doing your best to avoid eye contact. I have a door. Knock on it. Maybe talk to me about it first?
DH says his packing plan for today is "throw things in a box". We're down to the last of random things, but he's been horrible at labeling boxes. I may shoot him when it comes time to unpack.
Our schools giant career/internship fair is today. I'm nervous, but hopeful that I'll get some experience out of this, even if it is just interview experience. Plus, the leaves are changing color and it's yoga pants/track season.
I should post PIPs of those track dudes, man. They are like Greek statues running around in tiny short-shorts.
