I was so excited when I woke up and noticed that a bunch of snow in our yard melted and now it's snowing out . I want to wear flip flops already! Come on spring!!
DS freaked out this AM because he couldn't find his 'puter (computer)..little laptop thing. DH and me looked all over his room and bed and couldn't find it. He was still freaking out about it when we left for work..sorry nanny! Hopefully she will find it.
I want to place a big gymbo order but can't find a valid promo code!
I have $1000 in Target giftcards in my inbox that I got from work.
WAT.
I used some of my continuing education allowance to buy a video set that came with a "free" ipad or GC's to amazon, target, or best buy. Granted they were a $1500 video set.
I stopped by Target this morning for a couple of things. $170 later. ::sigh:: @vicmo, apparently our Target is going to be the last one to close, and they're receiving all the stuff from other stores. It's seriously still 95% full.
We made it 13 months and a week with nursing. I'm excited for new bras and more importantly, for the weird side boob on my left side to go back to normal.
I fibbed about having a stomach bug to get out of a doctor appt this morning so I could go watch DS1 at his fun run at school. The run was rescheduled because of snow days and I knew he would be dang cute and I didn't want to miss it.
Karma bit me in the ass though, because I vomited on my way home. I feel fine now and I think it was just from drinking too much water too fast, but damn, yo.
I was going through old pics this weekend to see if I wanted anything for our eventual photo wall. Every pic of me is with ratty hair. No one EVER combed my hair as a child.
You guys. My office smells like weed. At this point in my life the smell is nauseating. Maybe 10 years ago, I wouldn't have mind.
The coffee smell coming from the Starbucks next to DS1's elementary school is very weed-like. I can't tell you how many times I've been on the playground after school and thought, "WTF! What kind of scum bag smokes weed at an elementary school playground?!" Then I remember that it's coming from Starbucks.
I hate pumping. I really wanted to throw the pump away once we got the the year mark but it looks like I'll be pumping for quite some time yet.
That sucks! Quitting the pump was one of my favorite moments. Why do you have to keep doing it?
They are still nursing a ton during the day. I can't quit pumping without risking plugged ducts and mastitis. So I'll just keep going until they cut back on the Nursing. I think I'd be okay of it was one baby nursing like this but with two my supply is just too high.
I don't understand what my older kid is doing to his socks, but he gets holes in them almost instantly. WTF, I am tired of buying socks all the time. So, are there like, super duper reinforced boy socks or something?
I need these for my husband please. Also, undershirts and boxers. Wtf does he do in them!?
We have a forensics guy looking at our water damage. I thought forensics was only for csi things. I'm prepared for them to say it's old water damage and no insurance coverage
I thought I'd just search pintrest for girl nursery ideas since we still don't know the sex of baby #3 and none of them are really jumping out at me. All the crazy pink, princess stuff and glitter kinda freaks me out.
I'm clearly just stuck in "boy mom" mode, even though people hate that term.
I think I need to find a new source of inspiration.
I'm bummed that I have to wait for The Shirt to ship. I also didn't love paying shipping, but I did.
Pathetic confession: My two nieces work at Express. I could have gone into the store to buy it, but I didn't want to risk one of them being at work and seeing their old, chubby aunt looking lame in their cool clothes.

I'm not a fan of pink or glitter for DD either. So for her nursery I looked at the wall color (light brown) and picked two girly-ish colors I thought complimented that well (turquoise and lavender). When I looked on Pinterest and Etsy for "turquoise nursery" a huge proportion of the results were woodland-themed, which I loved. So I stumbled onto it in a round about way. So maybe start with some colors and work from there? I hope that helps! I can tell you from experience there is A TON OF reeeally cute gender neutral fox, hedgehog, and tree decor out there.
DS's blood draw went extremely well, I am so relieved. DS was very brave and held very still, his nurse (who he's known since birth) hit the vein on the first try, took five vials of blood! He held still for the vaccines too. He got a juice box at the end and he calmed right down. Went very well.

The only colors that really jumped out at me was some green and purple nurseries, so I think I'll start narrowing my search there. And we will be reusing our dark brown crib and dresser that we had for the boys, so no white furniture like almost every girl nursery has.
Who knows, maybe I won't need any of it and this baby is a boy. But the room needs to be painted anyway, so I want to have ideas both ways ready to go when the times goes since we have a ton of other spring/summer house projects we need to do and I won't have time to daydream and think of colors once April rolls around.

Yay, DS1 stayed at gym daycare no problem! We had a long talk before we left about how "mamas come back." (Special shoutout to Daniel Tiger!)
Of course now I'm confused why he was in a hysterical panic yesterday over getting left at Sunday School. His favorite childcare worker at the gym says it's because the Y is way more fun than church, haha.
I'm in a really good place right now, and the transition happened literally overnight.
I'm at peace with so much, and have started to bond with one of DH's older cousins. (58 year old woman, divorced from an abusive husband, no kids, has a lot more in common with me than I realized.)
I think we may both be filling a void for the other. I've desperately been wanting to connect with an older woman as I don't have much of a relationship with my mom. And I think she's starting to feel lonely as she's divorced with no kids, and getting up there in age. I'm usually pretty insecure, assuming people don't like me. (I know, I know.) But she's been reaching out to me constantly over the past few weeks. We also didn't realize that we shared the same faith. Attend similar churches, studies, have the same beliefs, etc. I'm so thankful a wall has been broken down and we've connected.
The past 6 months of therapy have been difficult, but constructive. I've grown in so many ways, and shed / separated myself from much of the darkness that was my past. I'm so thankful that a literal switch has finally flipped, and this hard work has started to pay off.
I started the work day out by walking in the door and saying "F*** daylight savings" to a couple of my co-workers. After a crazy busy weekend the getting up an hour earlier than I am used to this morning about killed me.
It's 3 pm and I have spent the whole day wanting to sleep.
Ugh I have a mandatory Junior League meeting tomororow night which means that I officially have plans every night this week except tonight. I'm tired just thinking about it.
