I dragged myself to the gym even though it's cold and rainy and I didn't want to, but of course I felt good once I got there. I did take the bus though instead of walk While I was gone DH took down the Christmas tree and packed up 80% of the decorations (heart)
Got some grading in this morning, trying to get myself to do more now. I keep telling myself the more I do today, the less I have to do tomorrow.
I think we're going to get a fire going in a little bit and just relax tonight.
I worked most of the day. Did a load of dishes, now going to watch a movie on my computer while finalizing my workout routine! H arrives home at about 7:30. I hope I have time today to start taking down the Christmas ornaments.
HoneySpider your evening sounds so lovely. I'm envious you have a fire place <3

It was definitely a bonus...it was one of those "we'd love to have it" items but would never make a decision based on it.
I've been a couch potato so far all weekend. I did do a little housework today. Whatever bug I caught from DH is kicking my butt. Tonight I may rent a movie and snuggle up to DH on the couch.
The rest of the weekend I plan on relaxing. Hopefully I feel well enough on Monday to start my workout routine again.
melsamoony Have you seen Maleficant? (I can't spell it, lol) We got it from Red Box on NYE and I really liked it!
We got quite a bit done around here with organizing (talked about this on GP too). One of the best ideas my mom gave me was to hang gift bags on hangers and hang them up in a closet. They were previously on the floor in our coat closet, so this freed up TONS of space! Plus now it's easier to see what bags we have. I definitely recommend this if you have a lot of bags! We are also doing laundry and hopefully I will get another motivation kick tonight and organize/clean my bathroom. It's just so cluttered right now and I need to do some cleaning in there anyways. Yay for actually having some motivation today! Tomorrow will probably be the same thing, more cleaning and organizing. Hopefully H can keep up with my nesting haha
My back was hurting some yesterday after errands and working on organizing. Today I have done some dishes and caulked baseboards for a couple hours. I did a little touch up painting and organized some more around the house. By 3 I was DONE! My back was telling me to sit down and rest.
@@ Since then I have been on the internet some and getting together baby shower addresses. My shower will be later this month (17th I think?) so I'm gonna get with my cousin B later and find out for sure what she has planned. The shower will be at my cousin B's mom's house, so S's house (who is also my cousin, just my mom's age, confused yet? lol) and S's backyard buts up against our backyard. So plan is to have shower at her house then everyone come tour our house and nursery. So, I have til then to clean, organize, and get the nursery ready. Talk about crunch time!
bk1 My friend is throwing a shower for me on the 17th too My family one is next weekend, so that's part of the reason I wanted to get things organized around here this weekend. My friend that's due 3 weeks after me is having her shower on the 31st but it's in Madison, WI. That's quite the drive to be taking at almost 37 weeks! Sorry friend! Haha. I will have to send her something! Anyways, take it easy on your back!

Awesome
I'm having one shower so it feels like a lot of people since it is family and friends. Well except my Aunts on one side want to do a shower after she is born so they can meet the baby. So might be having just a very small shower after but it will be nice to see them. I don't see them very often.
melsamoony I watched Blended yesterday. I would recommend it. Super funny and great family story
bk1 Just to clarify I liked your post because of the happy and productive things not your sore back. I hope it feels better soon. Maybe a nice warm bath would help

GREAT IDEA, I can take a bath now!! I took a nice long shower this morning because I wasn't rushed by the septic line and worrying the water would back up. Mmmm a bath is brilliant! You're so smart!

As soon as I told my friends they insisted on throwing a shower, otherwise my sister/aunt/mom would probably be throwing the only one, haha. MIL, GMIL, H's aunts and cousins are invited to it since they aren't throwing one (basically the same people that came to my bridal shower.. same place too!). Although one of his cousins is doing a gender reveal party that day too so depending on the time of that, it's possible that one of his cousins won't make it. I think the rest would come to the shower over that because this particular cousin has caused a lot of drama in the past and is just now starting to come around to family things again. Which is nice though because then there will be 2 little ones! I'm sure I will do a get together too after baby is born so everyone can meet him. I don't see my dad's side very often so that will be nice. I'm sure everyone on my mom's side that I don't see before will meet him for Easter
My parents came over and my dad watched W while my mom and I went out to eat and shopping. I haven't gone out anywhere short of a doctor's office or hospital in over a month. It was AWESOME even if it was only to Target and Nordstroms!
Worked on organizing a bit today, and we need to take down the outside lights tomorrow. Had a play date at the park, and ran into 4 other families from school, we ha d a great time! I also had breakfast with my mom this morning, so that was nice.
So happy I don't have to do anything tomorrow (other than lights).
Hooray, I finished my work out routine/schedule. I showed H and he asked where I got it from and I told him I created it myself. He was very impressed! Score! Now I just have to finish my motivational bulletin board tomorrow/Monday
My family Christmas was yesterday, which was really fun. After that, H and I went over to a friend's house to watch the UFC fights on his projection screen. I usually spend my weekends curled up at home, so it felt weird to be so social yesterday. Haha.
It's snowing. And the low on Wednesday is 1 degree. Ugh Winter!
It's below zero highs here and supposed to snow most of the week (I'm surprised it's not now actually, I thought it was supposed to), so I feel your pain! I hate winter!
Winter has arrived. It snowed all night, and is still snowing now. We're supposed to have 5-7 inches overnight on Monday. Kids are supposed to go back to school on Tuesday. What are the odds of a snow day the first day back after winter break two years in a row? (Last year we had a cold day the first day back).It would totally be a great way to ease back to work- institute tomorrow, no school Tues, then school Wed through Friday.
Today is the last day of my two weeks off. I have LOVED this break and I'm a little sad. It has been a great mix of productive and relaxing! I am trying to summon the energy to go to he grocery store, but it's SO COLD out there.
I have the major Sunday night blues. I've been off for a week and a half and I don't want to go back!! I did some grocery shopping this morning to get all of my healthy stuff for the week, and since then I've been pretty lazy. I need to get up and prep my veggies and cook some chicken breasts for breakfasts and lunches this week. I should also do my nails, or at least remove the chipped polish.
krystee it's my last day of a 2 week break too. It's bittersweet! But now I think it's going to go SO FAST til baby is born! estrellita Wow.. where are you? Highs in the negatives, ugh!
awick14 that's how DH has been for 2 weeks. Feeling awesome one day then horrible the next. Hopefully you start to feel better and stay better soon!
I am finally drinking a glass of sparkling wine that I put in the refrigerator NYE but thanks to the cold I caught I didn't open. It is delicious and making the football game DH is making me watch so much bearable.
