Confession: I'm begging for an alternate (early morning next week) spot for a parent teacher conference so I can take the kids to zoo boo on the Friday they get off for conferences. I told them it's bc dh wants to come to the conference also (which is true) but it's mostly because I want to go to zoo boo on a lower crowd day. Heh.
This cold fucking sucks. My gag reflex is crazy right now, so I coughed too hard and was trying to get the mucous out of my throat, which resulted in me throwing everything up. This was a few hours after I had gone to bed and I was just getting up to eat something before going back to sleep again. Pregnancy is so beautiful. :/
Our thermostat isn't working, so the furnace hasn't been on all night. My house is cold! I do not like this. So looking forward to the electrician coming over tonight to fix this problem.

I am dreading my dental cleaning today. I cancelled last week b/c of a meeting, but I'm fighting bronchitis and my teeth hurt from sinus pressure. I've been on meds for a few days, but they still hurt. I'm excited to take DS to the science center this weekend. Their new exhibit is all about the guitar which he will LOVE
I regret my outfit today. Already on the train to work so it's too late. Corduroy leggings way more casual than I intended and everything I'm wearing us brown. I look like a giant turd.
Plan is to stay seated at my desk so nobody sees. Avoid boss. Lol.
I'm getting X-rays taken of my foot this morning. I can't run until they're read and I know nothing's broken. I'm going to be so pissed if I can't run for another couple of weeks.
H leaves for Miami on business next week. He's gone for a whole week and I plan on spending that time with my grandmother. Still, I'm a little nervous to have both kids by myself for that long. Also, I'm jealous that his business retreat is basically just hanging out drinking at a pool and eating yummy food with his coworkers. Dick.
Cleaning lady who cleaned the house before we moved in is starting today. I've been on the fence about it since we really could clean the house ourselves. But I am so excited to come home to a clean house tonight! Plus potential cat sitter coming this morning to see where we keep everything and talk about watching our cat when we go to a wedding later this month. I have to work so H is staying home to be here for both visits. He has very clear instructions but odds are good he's going to miss something... I wish I could be there instead, but his job is way more flexible.
I have off tomorrow so that I can prep and clean the house for DD's 1st birthday party.
This is more of a vent - I hate how when on the train, people sitting on the inside expect you to know it is their stop without any form of communication. And then I see them fidigting around and ask if they are getting off and they give me the 'duh, yeah!' look.

Our neighbors must think we are dipshits; every trash day morning, we end up running 2-3 bags of trash/recycling things out that we somehow missed the night before. Get your shit together, new guys!
And today DH came home from work all fired up about something that happened on his shift last night. He's so loud, I'm sure they also think we are always fighting.

I have to have a crown replaced. So pissed off. And I woke up with stomach ache and there is literally nothing worse than toddler wrangling whilst sick. I need to get up but I can't be arsed.
And I have to bake today for the perfect SAHM crew that I invited to tea tomorrow. I must have been out of my mind.

I'm trying to be a little productive every day. Yesterday I tidied up the playroom and when DD got home she's all, "Mom, what did you do?!" She then proceeded to ask, "What is this?" to a bunch of toys she forgot she owns. She's spoiled rotten.
I have a doctor's appointment today that is supposed to be for pain management. My pain in general is much improved, but my back is all messed up and I've noticed my anxiety has really increased since I've been home alone.
I'm also going to ask to go back to work part-time late next week. Everyone is telling me I'm rushing things, but I really feel ready to rejoin the world of the living.
We are having dinner at my parents' because their friend says she has a gift for me. People are so kind and generous. There's nothing like serious illness to show you how many truly kind people there are, including here. My coworkers are still making us dinner, my kid has had so many fun adventures, people I barely know have donated to help. It is just truly amazing. Word vomit. Sorry.
My bff's newborn is in the hospital for a severe bacterial infection and will be in for another week. (They've already been in a week.) Baby is three weeks old. BFF is doing okay, but I feel so badly for them. I've been going to keep her company as much as I can and will take her lunch today. We work together and I totally miss her at work. I just wish her maternity leave was better for her and that baby was feeling better.
It's a fog day so I'm driving DD1 to school today for the first time. Then I'm going to walk DD2 to the library for storytime. Plus it's laundry day so I've got a real exciting day planned.
We were idiots last night. We went to look at a house in our neighborhood that we can not afford right now. When we have done this in be past it hasn't been an issue because the houses have sucked. This one? Pretty much perfect for our family. To add insult to injury the girls really liked it and already have picked out their bedroom.
I can't remember if it was here or in H&F where we were talking about people on public transportation.
Lo' and behold, the woman sitting next to me this morning began clipping her nails and flinging the clippings all the while trying to chat with me as I looked on in horror.
Oh and to not be a Debbie downer - the local doc that it's taking any new patients is taking DH! It isn't a perfect situation because she said she would co-treat with our LLMD so we will still have to make the long drive a a pay out of pocket for somethings, but she is local and can help with other things and takes instance. Small victories.

Marilyn did not chew off her claw covers last night like I expected. She gives me her bitch face when she sees me now, but she looks so damn cute with them on. I hope they last like they are supposed to.

I was going to poas this morning, but my H forgot to bring the bag in with the other stuff we bought from target last night from the car last night and he took the car to work so I will have to wait until he gets home.

Both kids woke up at 4:15 this morning. I went in to settle them down, DD went back to sleep DS wanted me to lay with him. So I stayed for a few minutes until I thought he was asleep. Nope. Back up at 5, 5:30 and again at 6:15. I never fell back asleep either. DD has dance class right after school which I always have to drag DS to. Tonight's class should be fun...

You do not look like a giant turd. You are, rather, a vision in that color brown, a warmly hued reminder of the steaming hot cup of coffee whereby people brace themselves against the coming day; a gentle remembrance of a cup of hot cocoa whereby people warm themselves against the cold, your face the charming marshmallow thereon. You are a fall leaf, a freshly turned garden bed wherein the bulbs of next springs's lovely gardens will be buried only to leap afresh in spring with vibrant color.
I swear this stuff just comes rolling off my fingertips here. lol
Do the leggings make that little fwooop fwooop sound when you walk?
omg I love you. lol. I just took a lap around the office to see if they do the fwoopfwoop and they do not. Too wide waled, and soft. They are actually fabulously comfy. Lands End!
