I leave for DC tonight for a few days and have been sleeping like crap despite sleeping pills. I am annoyed bc I'm not anxious, but must be subconsciously or something.
My friend lent me her diffuser and an oil to try last night. I kind of dig it.
We booked a 5 night cruise for April and as we were getting closer I was feeling sad that we didn't just pay the extra money for the full week. But I saw a Groupon for a 2 night cruise and thought that will work! So now we will get off our first one and onto the short one the same day. Now i just need to get our flight home switched. It can't come soon enough!
We are seriously interested in a house. We're looking at two on Monday that we feel we can't make a decision without seeing, but we might be making an offer on the first house we looked out. Crazy, but true.
I have a weekend packed with birthday festivities. My parents tomorrow for lunch, my cincinnati gbcn crew for dinner. And BIRTHDAY CAKE.
I am feeling 10x better today after taking a Sudafed last night. I have a new lease on life lol. But seriously, I felt like I was on death's door last night. EVERYTHING hurt. I am hoping this good feeling keeps up while at work. I would actually like to enjoy my weekend for once instead of being ill.
I really need to find the motivation to rewrite my resume this weekend. I want to get it done ASAP so that it's in good shape when the baby gets here.
H is really struggling at work. We're both in jobs that just aren't a good fit and it's been very hard. He has a second phone interview with a firm he interviewed with a couple years ago. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. It would be such a great change for him.

Yesterday we had snow and ice and the roads were awful, we didn't even have a delay from school. I'm not one to want a snow day, but we really should have stayed home.
Well, then the snow stops and they cancel after school activities and school is delayed today. I'm hoping the roads are okay and it is just a reaction to pissed off parents yesterday.
I got up 15 minutes earlier than usual and was on track to have everything I needed done and be out the door on time for once and wouldn't you know it both kids woke up early, threw everything off and I still ended up scrambling. Still got here early though so I guess all was not lost.
We have a long "to do" list for the weekend but the weather is supposed to be nice so I don't care. Hopefully we can all get outside for awhile without freezing.
This week has been so long and busy. Good, but the weekend can't come fast enough. I am exhausted.
It's supposed to be in the low 40s by Sunday so H and I are being lazy about shoveling. Small path on the sidewalk today and hoping the sun helps us through the weekend. I started and ended my day yesterday by shoveling. I'm ready for spring.
I cannot stop with the sex dreams. Last night was my surgeon. Jesus. But even better than that was what I was wearing. I had on an emerald green sequined gown sorta like this
with vintage elbow length gloves. Damn I looked good. No wonder my doc was into it. But seriously, my brain has gotten so....friendly...lately. With basically everyone I've ever been attracted to.

I missed out on two (adult) birthday celebrations yesterday thanks to the snow and instead was stuck inside most of the day with a toddler. I can't wait to get out of the house today and we have a Mom's night out planned for tomorrow night.
I feel like winter may finally be over. This is the last day of painful cold in the forecast.
Got into work to find this. We won an award last week and the bosses wanted to take us out but there's not good time to do it. So bubbly for everyone instead.
H is leaving for the weekend and I am so very annoyed how much this will inconvenience my weekend. AND how he won't give me a decent reason why he can't bring the older two. He is going with his mom and sister to Minneapolis to visit his other brother who has 2 little kids of his own. So I don't understand what the problem is besides he is being a giant selfish jackass. I'm raging. I have to coach a diving team 2 times this weekend and drag them to the child care which is inconvenient. By myself. With the baby. And rush for swimming lessons. And other shit. SO annoyed.
The parking lot at work is a literal sheet of ice. The truck is parked between lines, but I'm pretty sure I'm crooked across two spots. Lots of sunshine today so hopefully that'll help.
This should be our last cold day! The 10 day forecast looks fabulous. I love spring.
SIL and niece were supposed to come visit, but I doubt they are. We haven't heard from them all week. They were going to come the weekend before, but she cancelled because of "weather". In reality it was to spend the weekend with her bf's little girl on her birthday - after SIL made plans with us while she and bf were broken up. DH is really sad that we're losing our relationship with our niece (she's 3) and SIL because we moved away. To me it's just further proof we were nothing but babysitters to SIL...

DH, Lucy and I are going to the diner for breakfast of DH (who suggested this, btw) EVER GETS HIS ASS OUT OF BED. I want chipped beef, bitch, let's goooo
I dreamt last night that I was a model. Along with two other girls, I was shooting a commercial for a movie ticket give away. For some reason, part of the commercial included us using gym equipment while wearing evening gowns. I put my foot down, and the dream feminist in me demanded yoga pants, tanks, and tennis shoes. When I woke up, the real life feminist in me gave dream me a high five.
My coworker and his partner are FINALLY getting married this year, after more than 30 years together. I can't wait for gay marriage to be legal everywhere. Also, two former coworkers just got engaged last night. I love weddings and I hope I am invited!
I'm jealous of everyone who is in the market or closing on houses. I feel like we will never get out of crappy rentals. The good news is DH had a second interview his week and a final interview next week. I was home sick yesterday and I am so over this cold already. I hate being sick.
H is taking his Real Estate exam this morning, I'm so proud of him for how hard he is working to make changes professionally. He's an amazing Paramedic but it really is time for something new for him. He did the class last week and registered for the first exam possible, it's in a town a couple hours away so he went last night.
Our master bathroom renovation project starts today! So excited! I'm so glad to be getting rid of the weird blue (sorts that country blue) toilet & shower! It's a small space so we're doing our best to maximize the space. I'm very excited.
My blood pressure is still up and they started me on meds for it
I always have low/normal bp, so this kind of worries me. Hopefully it's not a long term thing.
But, the upside...I have a sweet, squishy, adorable little baby now! I'm so happy. I just hope they let me go home today even with the high bp.
I'm surprised they started meds so soon. Are you still as high as you were before labor? Mine dropped a bit immediately, but was still pretty high even at my 6 week check. I think it was 10-12 weeks before I was back to my normal (lowish) bp. Hoping the same is true for you!
This is technically my last Friday at home on maternity leave. Next Friday we're out of state visiting family. I'm like 70% sad, 30% excited. I'm a little nervous about having patience for middle school attitudes when my sweet baby is at home. Positive: I'm looking forward to adult interaction and problem solving.
