I am so stressed about FI's visa and I hate that I'm not excited about the wedding right now. It's hard to be too invested when I don't even know if it could happen. I'm looking into honeymoons and it's all hypothetical because we can't plan for anything right now. I just want to be able to be excited.
I got sunscreen in my eye so I'm taking a quick vacation break to gbcn with one eye while I flush the other with visine (lol).
Vacation is awesome. We Skyped with the kids yesterday and O was confused and L clearly is having the best time with her grandparents.
I love it here. I'm never leaving. I mean, at the amazing, included in your room rental, breakfast they have a GIANT BOWL OF NUTELLA just out there. I ate toast just so I could put vast quantities of free nutella on something.
And that's like the least amazing thing. I can put up a flag on my lounge chair and they'll come over and bring me drinks and food. I have one spa appointment every day except the day we're going horseback riding on the beach. My husband and I have had hours of uninterrupted conversation. That hasn't happened since 2009.
Whups, I accidentally posted in the wrong randoms..
I had a fun weekend, with a bachelorette party saturday night and a birthday brunch sunday morning, and my kid was mostly really good while I was home. It was the first time that I've missed him when I've been gone AND he didn't make me wish I'd never said that when we were reunited (by being a monster). lol It was lovely. I basically ignored everything else, and did nothing in the way of cleaning or laundry or thinking about anything important.
I don't think I updated here, but my CT scan ruled out a blood clot in my lungs (and my breathing/headaches/fevers have almost gone away since, so it was likely a really insidious virus as suspected), but it incidentally showed hypervascular regions on my liver. Which of course could mean 9 billion things, anywhere from nothing-to-cancer. And of course I just pulled the report and saw "borderline enlarged lymph node" which seems ominous, too. I have a follow-up appointment today during which I assume we'll discuss that and probably order more tests. The whole thing just makes me kind of stressed and tired. I just thought I had a lung infection and would get some abx. This is a little ridiculous now.
It took me 20 minutes just to clear the ice off of my windshield. Driving to work was a nightmare, not because of the roads, but because huge sheets of ice was flying off of the roof of people's cars and crashing all over the place. Between this winter and last winter, I am ready to move to the Florida Keys.
I was wondering why the community college didn't have a delayed start. Then I remembered-- I'm on spring break! Just have to go to the university to teach one, nbd!

Autumn.. my husband went to China when i was around 33 weeks too for 2 weeks and although it sucked it was kind of nice to have down time from each other before the baby is here, ha.
My cat has been a huge pest lately. I don't know if he senses something is about to happen (baby coming ha) but he really has been a pain in the ass lol.

It's Migas Monday! Just tossed the kids out the door to school. Meeting some friends for breakfast and if the weather complies, we're longboarding after. Boxing tonight too.
Most people hate Monday but it's turning out to be my favorite day.
My H leaves today for 10 days...which I normally would have loved for the alone time to catch up on trashy DVR programs....at 33 weeks pregnant not so much LOL
It was only supposed to be 5 days for one of his regular CO trips (I know, awful location right lol)but then he got invited to meetings at the World Bank and you know, you can't exactly tell the World Bank "sorry, my wife won't let me go" LOL
Not that I would say that but it's been our running joke this week.
I figure as long as I get the dogs fed and out pants on everyday before work I am doing ok.
I hope it goes quickly! And ditto PP -- relish the time alone in the house, lol. Yesterday I went to brunch with some friends and DH took DS to meet his mom for lunch. I beat him home by about 15min and was like "OMG I'M HOME ALONE. THIS IS FABULOUS! WHAT DO I DOOOO?"
My mom, who usually watches DS while H and I work, has jury duty today. H was going to stay home with him, but has been sick for a few days and his cough this morning was horrible, so he's going to urgent care instead. So, after having a four day weekend, I had to call in sick so I could stay home. I mean, I have the time, but damn I hate calling out.
Also, I hope my mom doesn't get selected for a jury, because then my aunt and uncle are going to watch DS. Which isn't horrible, but they do things differently than we do, and I would have to explain every single thing. They are a lot more lax on behavior and naptime and ugh. I know my family thinks we're too strict, but he's our kid and we get to decide this stuff.
In short, I hope my mom doesn't get selected. Lol!
I was all stressed out about a 2 hour snow delay cutting into my to do list. I woke up this morning grumbling about it and H reminded me that the kids go back to their normal daycare schedule today since I go back to work Wednesday. I just dropped them off and after I pour more coffee down my throat, it's time to get shit done!
I'm not even at work yet and I hate this week. I looked at my meeting schedule for today, and I'm in meetings ALL DAY LONG. I have a shitton of work to do, and I'm not sure when I'm going to get it done.
A coworker is out for the next two weeks and she and my boss decided I'd back her up without checking with me to see what my workload is. Of course, these are like, the worst two weeks to ask me to do this.
OH Also? My friend posted a pic to facebook of the 2 of us when we were out on Saturday. I called my mom yesterday to chat, and she goes "Are you okay? I saw that picture on facebook..." and I'm like uhhhhwut? And she continues, "You look weird. I mean you look beautiful, but you look sick or something. Like you lost a bunch of weight, maybe? And really tired. Like circles under your eyes." :? lol. I think it's just because I wasn't wearing glasses, and my always-present dark circles are way more obvious without them. But I was cracking up at "I mean, you look beautiful, but... in a sick-and-tired kind of way."
I'm not sure the offer that someone made on out house will work out. They need to close by the 28th of March which is fine, but they are using a VA loan and apparently those can take some time if you aren't on top of them. We need to close a day or so early because we need time to get the money from this house and put it towards our new house and then move. They want us to pay closing which we've agreed to, but if we can't close sooner than the 28th we won't do the deal. Moving twice is a deal breaker for us especially when we're paying closing. And that's not to mention any repairs they might want done....
It's probably just sour grapes. Hopefully s/he will go back to normal once they get over the sting of being passed over. I hate that tension at work, though. Ugh.

I just had to email some info to our Exec VP, and he randomly responded to me with a compliment. He never does that - he actually quite terse, so I was pleased/shocked.
Last night DH was voted in as president of an organization he's very involved in. I have mixed feelings. With all his travel he really doesn't have much free time so now I'll have to split it with the organization but hopefully the travel stuff is almost finished and then it won't be a big deal. Plus I'm proud of him and I'm excited for him to have this opportunity.
I took our dog to the vet for a medicated bath on Friday for her skin issues. The techs who bathed her took pictures. I love them.

DH and I had a "fight" last night (more like a tiff) because there were two credit card charges on our account that neither of us could account for, so we were blaming the other. It was like a total of $65, and it ended up that we had both had gotten gas at the same place, a place we don't usually go.
It SUCKS to fight over such a small amount. I really hope I get this job I'm interviewing for.
We had the best weekend. We got out of the house just in time to not murder each other in some sort of winter inspired rage. We met my parents at a hotel. The boys swam. H and I went shopping. We watched bball with my parents. They had a slumber party with the boys so we had a hotel room all to ourselves. It was fantastic. The boys were so well behaved.
Then yesterday we got home and I took Jack to our women's basketball game. They are seriously such a fun team to watch and it was seniors day. Jack really didn't want to go but then he really got into it and had the best time. The crowd was fantastic, the team played amazing and we had a blast. And he was so well behaved again. I only bought him a lemondade icee and he was completely satisfied with that. No whining for other stuff. Asked a ton of questions. Cheered etc. Anything to start the fandom early.
Also it was so cute. Our band plays March of the Emperors at the beginning of the halves for both men and women. Jack was like "is that the band playing. They are like really good. I mean like really good. They played that song perfect." I don't know why it was just so funny how awe inspired he was lol.
Im wearing a big comfy sweater with tall boots and skinny black pants. Eep!! I feel cute actually, but scandalous. Lol. I don't wear form fitting pants ever lol

"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
I'm so glad my co-worker decided to make the good decision of not demanding our boss to do something he previously said no to. I do think his no is unwarranted, but we're early in the process.
I am just overwhelmed. I think that is the right word. I've been burning myself at both ends trying to make everything work and just trying to keep my head down at work, stay out of drama. Then all this stuff at home I now have to deal with. I need someone to be on my team and there is just no one. Sorry for the rambling vent I just really feel like I'm about to start crying at my desk.
