I didn't end up getting to go to my cousin's party last night. The trains back to London were all delay, so I got home too late.
Today is a pretty normal day. Just a whole day of meetings. Boo. Then the team wants to go out for Christmas drinks tonight. I just want to go home and put on jammies.
Happy Thursday everyone!
MrsPotatohead, happy defense day! You're totally going to rock it, Dr. Potato head!
larzhope, I hope you were able to get some sleep and good luck with you iud today.
@ksta and @aellasbeth, hope your site neck and canker sores feel better. Neither are fun.

I'm awake still. H and I are having a rough time and had a discussion tonight where the word "trial separation" was used a lot. We arent going to do it and came up with some strategies for better communication so I'm hoping things improve around here.
I am going to go see the hunger games movie tonight to take my mind off of crap at home. Oh! And I set up mini shoots for Saturday and got a lot of interest so I might actually be able to buy presents for my boys!
I have been in all day meetings the last few days and I am exhausted. Looking forward to the weekend - book club tomorrow night should be relaxing even though I am hosting.
up for another 7am meeting today, then maybe laying around a little. I have a holiday lunch to go to today before my appointment with my much broader team so that should be fun.
It should be an easy day today...lots of people are out of the office and most of my stuff is finished up. I have a few small projects to work on, but all of the big stuff is done for now. Looking forward to our holiday party next week and then a good amount of time off.
MrsPotatohead You're going to knock it out of the park!! Super *hugs kwpnjumper55 I'm really sorry. Was counseling an option?
I meant to go to the gym yesterday but by the time I got home after the slow traffic, it was all I could do to make it to the couch and pass out for 45 minutes. Worried I'm battling a bug. Of course, I was tired but got to bed later than I planned (10 pm) and then didn't fall asleep for over 45 minutes. Bah. PT today and going to the Nutcracker tonight! H has NEVER been!

Good luck MrsPotatohead!! You're going to rock this!!
I'm sorry kwpnjumper55 Would you guys be open to talking to a counselor?
Normal work day, then tonight E has a basketball game (that she'll have to leave early) and a 3rd Grade performance at school. I'm missing her game to set up chairs for the performance (which means I can save front row seats). My parents are coming over from Bainbridge to see it, then are staying overnight.
Seemingly good and bad improvements with the pups. Tucker (black lab) hasn't had a single accident since last weekend. And this morning he was able to wait until 7am to go out to pee. Hopefully that means his issue was just a UTI and the antibiotics are helping. Hoss (yellow lab) has been really lethargic. Yesterday he couldn't stand up when I was preparing their dinner - and he is extremely food motivated. Not sure if it was his back legs or because he was so tired, but H had to carry him outside to pee, and then upstairs to bed. I'm hoping it's just a side effect of some new pain meds the vet gave us. She said it could cause drowsiness. But it doesn't necessarily seem to be helping with his pain/mobility so we're stopping it and hope he'll perk up some again.
We leave for the Dominican Republic in 2 weeks (for a week) and are having a pet sitter come in. But she's young and I'm worried she isn't experienced enough to deal with Hoss if he continues to have issues.
I'm sorry last night was so hard kwpn. I'm glad H is open to addressing things. Take a break today!
I have been busy with work and holiday stuff, so I haven't been around quite as much. I'm feeling a little bit useful at my new job! And now that temperatures are above 40 degrees again we're all biking to work, which just makes everything better. I drove today though since babyniq's daycare is having a Christmas dinner and families are invited, so I'm leaving a little early.
Ugh I'm trying to get these sores to heal, thankfully no new ones since Tuesday. I got the antiseptic mouth wash and drinking tea and honey to get my voice back. We are supposed to have dinner with fil tonight and I don't really want to go...but I know I should.
Another day over here. My PT told me last night I need to get to the gym as many days as I possibly can and gave me a laundry list of exercises, so that's my plan for tonight. I had planned on getting some work done tonight but they are shutting down our workflow system for some updates so I guess that's not happening. I won't pretend to be sad about it .

Good luck Dr. Potato head!
Hugs kwpn. I hope things get better soon.
I'm home with bkb today. We went to Alexa's cafe for breakfast with the in-laws. Now we are home playing. I cut her off from diapers today. So far zero accidents. She does ask to go potty every time she has to toot though. I never knew my little girl was so gassy lol. Better that than the opposite. Being a mom is so glamorous.
I am so sorry kwpnjumper55. You guys have had a lot going on. I hope you guys can work it out. Hugs!
Cleaning up the house and heading to my pre-op appointment. I am going to be there for SO MANY HOURS. I am packing a bag with books and snacks, lol.
I am running around trying to get as much christmas done as possible since I have no idea how mobile I will be after. I put in a decent dent last night but there is still so much. How is there always so much to buy?
I am in party prep mode today. So much to do and I have to try and keep the girls occupied and somewhat quiet at the same time since H is still home and on his death bed apparently. I'm waiting for the little one to nap to get most things done without her under foot.

Thanks guys, I honestly think that it is the stress of school that is getting to us. Luckily the quarter that I just finished is the hardest of the program so its all down hill from here. We just need to have better communication and make sure that the other person is emotionally taken care of
I just got back from the holiday lunch thing at J's work. Yeah he forgot to tell me about it and called me at 9 when I was on my way to work. Glad I was able to make it. The concert last night was great but we got home late and both J & I are dragging. I think it's going to be a super easy night for us.
