I'm just happy it's Friday! It's been a long week. Pizza and movie night tonight with with kids, bottle of wine with DH. Meeting up with some friends tomorrow that I haven't seen in ages, which I'm really looking forward to as I've been feeling lonely and unpopular lately. DS2 is loving Kindergarten and DS1 is, well, at least he got his homework packet done this week with minimal bitching and moaning.
I'm actually doing a research study right now. It's measuring the impact of the flu shot on pregnant women at various levels of weight. I got my flu shot and a blood draw yesterday and received $50. I go back in a month for another blood draw, and I'll get another $50.
Not too bad for something I would have done anyways (flu shot.)
I'm in NY for my brother's wedding. We are staying in a 19th century cottage with my mom and stepdad on the grounds of an old apple orchard that is now a bison farm. It's very pretty!
(There are several things about this that are not making me happy, but for the most part, it's nice to see my family.)

48 hours from now I will be in Venice with DH and his family! There two days then off to Rome for one night (with just DH ;-) and then on a cruise for a week in the Mediterranean. Has been the month from hell at work - cannot wait to get there!!
I'm going to open a website and online store to sell many of my own designs and sewn items.
I have a business plan, a company name, a logo, designs and pattern drawings, and a small stock of first products.
I'm going to start on the websote design and ecommerce site over the next few weeks and hope to have it open in early Nov.
I'm so excited and at the same time scared shitless and wracked with negatively self talk (i.e. Who the fuck am I and who would want to buy my stuff???)
Today is my birthday! The kids are staying with my parents tomorrow night, so DH and I are watching college football during the day and then having a relaxing birthday dinner with my bestie and her DH tomorrow night.
