What's Up Monday?

[travelbug]

What are people doing today?

We are on the road home! It's already a boring trip haha 9 hours to go...

[sarahsas]

I'm awake to pee them going back to bed since I'm off. Yay! Other than that, errands, taking my h to lunch since he has to work, and general laziness.

[HoneySpider]

I have to go for bloodwork later and I have to fast so of course this morning I'm hungry. Boo.

A pretty normal day for me today.

[MrsMB]

* Chiropractor visit today
* Try to get some major work done before the holidays.

[ewall]

I cried twice while watching GMA this morning. Stupid hormones.

I might run a couple errands and work on a few projects around the house. Mostly I'm bored. Maybe read a book. I have few on the go right now.

Another random: I just decided I'm going to start an add-a-pearl necklace for myself. It's been three years since our home break-in and losing the necklace still bothers me. I looked it up online and I can do it! I'll just use birthday money to order a few pearls each year until it's complete. My Grandmother and Aunt Eileen created one for me from when I was born and added pearls for me until I turned 18. I hope to complete mine in less time.

I am working today and completely confused. I haven't worked on a Monday in a long time.

HoneySpider- when I had to fast for blood work for my loss panel I did it after coming off a night shift at work. I normally have munchies to keep me awake all night, that night shift was the worst ever. lol

I'm on call today from 8am-6pm, and it's only 7am and I have done one sink full of dishes, have a load of laundry in the washer and put a load of laundry away already. It's a productive day so far.

[awick14]

MrsMB- I have never heard of that before but that is a really neat idea.

They would give one pearl at my Birthday and one pearl at Christmas. It's a neat idea for people to give their daughters, nieces, and grandkids.

I did a bit of last minute shopping online first thing.

I started baking yesterday so today I'm going to the new house!!! to use my WONDERFUL kitchen and finish making frosted sugar cookies. I might get out a do a little shopping. I still never finished my mom, and I can't make up my mind on doing a stocking for my DH. Also just some laundry and whatnot in there. Going to be a good day.

[grover]

Started off making another batch of sugar cookies. Not sure if I want to do another batch of Christmas trees since I have the colors premade already, or if I should do a different shape but still use those colors (green, red, gold, blue and purple).

My siblings and I agreed to not do presents for each other this year back in October. My sister just said she bought me a gift anyway. Now I feel like I have to run around doing last minute shopping.

[estrellita]

H and I seem to be doing a million times better than we have been recently. I really think the child birth class helped him understand how stressed and tired I am, and helped us connect a bit more. I'm really happy with how things are going and I hope it just continues to get better!

one trick pony with this house shit.
DH and I have decided that we may just wait and chill the fuck out on looking because it has been nothing but a disappointment. We are still considering moving to a bigger apartment though. I have looked at it Dh is going to see it tomorrow. The land lord seems pretty interested in my offer. So there's that, fingers crossed that we get the place. It's Fucking HUGE and it's a duplex so it's kind of like a house?.

Duplexes can be a good deal would you be buying or renting?

Just renting for now. I think we are going to just save some more $$$ for a home down payment. Also pay off a couple Credit cards. Maybe in a few years we'll start the search again.
The Duplex is huge as I stated. the back yard is fenced individually every thing is separate. I always said that if we did get a 3 bedroom house I would give the kids separate rooms but the master is so huge they could just share it, I kinda like the idea of using the third room as an office. The down stairs has a breakfast nook and a formal dinning room. Basement storage and attic storage. Kitchen is all new appliances. it's not a bad size either. The dog will be happier with her own yard. fingers crossed yet again.

Please send good job vibes for my H! He just finished interview 3 of 4 for a new position at his company. It would lead to a much better career path and is much more interesting and challenging. It is probably a 20% increase in pay, and he'd get to travel a bit, which he would enjoy. He would also get to work from home, which means he would take on more of the housework on lunch breaks! Woo hoo!

We are at my grandma's and I'm in a lot of pain. I've had what equate to bad period cramps for going on 5 days now. Today is the worst, but still no period. Not sure what to do.

Otherwise it's been okay so far, but there are 7 dogs in a teeny tiny house with 12 adults. I'm feeling overwhelmed.

When is/was your period due? Sorry you're in pain

[travelbug]

Good luck Mr. krystee sending good vibes your way!!'

Well if my cycles are normal then I'm over a week late. Maybe two? But I've only had two periods so far since baby and don't know what my new normal is yet. The others were so easy though with no cramps. I hope I'm not dying.

Have you POAS?

[awick14]

I am hanging out at the local ski hill for the afternoon. (On the busy days the ambulance company sends a car up here just in case, as they don't have one here.)

[awick14]

The picture didn't load the first time. Trying again!

[HoneySpider]

jjwritergirl That's weird

[tacocat]

I was at a useless doctor's appt for an hour an half earlier, and now I'm at the oil change place with H's truck being a nice wife. They haven't taken it back yet though, so who knows how long I'll be here.

No. I can't think of any possible way I'd be pregnant. I'll test on Saturday if nothing happens, but that isn't likely.

I'm guessing your cycles just haven't regulated back to normal since baby.
