Please add yours.

-My favorite band announced they are getting back together and releasing an album! (Sleater-Kinney)

-DH got LEDs and lit up DD1's tinkerbell costume. It looks amazing! I'll add AW photo.

-DHs cousin and wife are talking about moving here too. That would be SO awesome.

-DH is currently on an interview/coffee meeting for a firm whose office is the next block over from the lots we want. (fingers crossed!)

-We go to the beach with friends this week!

the costume is darling, love the touch the lights bring to it... but OMG is that a pay phone!?! I cannot recall the last one I have seen in the wild.

I know, right?

It was in the bathroom building at Greenfield Village (at Henry Ford Museum). She was fascinated by it. We all wondered if she'd even know it was a phone.

I only work three days this week!!!

I finally got H to work on a few things at the house. They were small things but it makes me happy to get them done.

Money is really tight. So tight that I am close to anxiety attach levels. It was making it so I couldn't think clearly. But I have a plan now and hopefully we can get a little breathing room. A plan always makes me feel better.

The costume with the lights is awesome!

Good Monday Thoughts? Well I called in sick today as I only got about 2 hours of sleep last night and I knew getting through the day would be awful so I'm going to try to get some stuff done here. Since I'll be out of town this coming weekend and leave Friday morning this means I only have to work 3 days this week, yay!!

ETA: finished thought since I hit send mid-sentence

I would have killed for that costume as a child.

AF showed up yesterday, so I'm skipping the gym today and instead eating my weight in Riesen. #noregrets
R is going out of town tomorrow for 5-ish days, which is a boo, but the upside is that he'll earn at least $600 in mileage reimbursement and two full days off as a result of this trip, which is a WOOT.

Uh, no, make that a WOOT. You can starfish the bed, eat whatever you want for dinner, and watch crappy tv all week.

We got our photos back for Christmas cards! After an initial freakout about having them taken at 15 weeks pregnant (super awkward, fat or pregnant?), I think they look nice. I posted a link on MMM to a bunch of them - here are a few.

True.  Although I typically sleep in the fetal position regardless, at least I won't have to deal with him encroaching on my space.  (He's the starfish of the two of us).  I do see a lot of quesadillas, box wine, and the Harry Potter series in my future.  LOL

ETA: This was pretty much us before we upgraded to a king size (except I don't think I've EVER looked that blissful in my sleep.  LOL):

It's fall break! I'm still wearing pajamas, but I've gotten a lot of work done on a project that is now due in 9 days. I'm hoping to start on the model after dinner.

Fall break continues tomorrow, but I have a lot of catch-up work to do.

Although I still have classes Wednesday and Thursday, one of the Thurs. classes was cancelled. Thank FSM. Only 8 weeks to go after this!

The pictures turned out very well and your family is beautiful!  I love the color saturation and warmth of the pictures

sjh722 ADORABLE!! Look at that little cutie. She and Baby W would make a cute little blonde headed couple haha.

My woot: I'm going to the world freakin' series tomorrow!! I'm so excited, I can't contain myself. I'm supposed to be finishing a 12-page publication that needs finalized for tonight so we can get it to the printers and out before next week but I'm dying and can't pay attention. And only one week until (finally) my first appointment for baby #3. I don't want to wish life away, but I want to know what we're having so I can start planning and/or purging. So much boy stuff in my house.

[sjh722]

Thanks, emoflamingo! Doesn't she look like she belongs to someone else? LOL! Maybe #2 will at least slightly resemble me!

Same here lol. My kids both look like my H. Monkey has my coloring, but there's no denying he belongs to his father. And Baby W is like a splitting image of H at that age - down to the blond hair that has a mind of it's own and chunky wrists. But he has my smile so at least it doesn't look like I'm trying to kidnap him when we're leaving stores mid-tantrum.

Gorgeous family!

DD1 is a carbon copy of my DH. DD2 looks like me. Well, I think she looks exactly like my sister, but my Aunts and mom say me.

[bunnymendelbaum]

The day just keeps getting better!

DD2 (22 months) peed in the potty at the sitter's house! We've been working with her a little bit at home, but this is HUGE!

My kids are being really sweet today. To each other even. Dinner is in the crockpot and it is done. It says it's 70 in the house, but I don't believe it. I think I need a fire tonight.

I made a perfect single serving glass of sangria just now.
