Girls leave today and then it's quiet UW Betty wine and snuggle times this afternoon. And I am the hugest jerk in the world. They just gave me and H a cute thank you card and... the crystal tree. LOL. That damn tree.
And, can I add, I'm so jealous of H right now. He's in Hungary for work this week for some dev codeathon or something, but first they're spending a few days as a team at the wine festival "bonding". He was sending me pics all last night of the wine fest and it looked awesome. Jerks.
@ksta, bra shopping is the sucks. You're a better person than me because I probably would have left in a huff. And then kicked myself later because I really did need bras. lol.

Im wide awake now. Earlier I was having back pain with muscle spasms so I took some really good meds that knocked me out. I curled up with Kieran since he was having a hard time settling down, and I just crashed.
Today I have a photoshoot and I actually get to spend time with my family! yay!!! Ive had some random shoots get booked last minute which is helping out with bills and saving money for our trip in early June. so grateful for the extra work.
In fun travel news, it looks like next year I will be going to Ireland and England with my mom to celebrate becoming a RN! I have a buckerlist item of doing an equestrian holiday in Ireland and getting to see the countryside by horseback! I want to throw a couple of days in England since that is also on my travel bucketlist and I didn't get to go the last time I was in Europe.
Whew, longest post in a while. I miss you guys, summer is almost here!

Thanks uw. Bkb is doing great. No one would ever guess this kid was in the hospital 24 hours ago. She was running in circles literally and dancing to music last night before bed. She's still sleeping right now. I think she was happy to sleep in her own bed last night too.
Today catch up and coaching. My lead is off and I don't think I have any help. So today could be interesting.
Good morning! Yesterday was so nice out. I'm looking forward to another day as nice. Not a whole lot going on, just working and then house stuff.
We're still dealing with the neighbor parking right in front of our house so I need to call the HOA, as they said the neighbors were cited but clearly it hasn't made a difference.

At least your H's team is doing something productive on their drinking trip. My H's team attempted a boat building contest on the beach in Cancun but they were all too hungover to build boats.
Nothing exciting in my Tuesday. Work is going to be busy. If the people buying our products understood the time value of money (or their advisors did a good job of explaining it to them), my job would be boring. It won't be boring today.
Ugh so last night we went down to the dealership to get our plates and second key for the new Sportage....low and behold.. plates aren't there...and our temp tag expires....TODAY. Lead sales man said someone will drive them to us since they are all the way down in Shorline and we have made so many unnecessary trips because we were told one thing and it turned out not to be the case.

LOOOOOOOL
I can't believe that's the tree you were telling us about. so perfect.

You don't know how hard it was for me to not laugh when I opened the box.
It's sitting on our bookshelf. I love that stupid little tree now. I told H that we're keeping that thing forever.

I'm exhausted. I've slept on the couch the past couple days because H isn't sleeping well with all the stress/lack of answers on the promotion at work. He also doesn't do well on lack of sleep and staying out at work events until 11:00 isn't helping anything. As far as the promotion goes, it's still looking good for him, but we're still waiting.

This sounds SO awesome kwpnjumper55. Your mom likes me enough to take me with, right?
karebear219, so glad bkb is better. What a huge relief!
@aellasbeth, any update on the potential new job?
Good morning! We are on day two of the sucky schedule. Tman asked when James was getting home yesterday afternoon and I told him not until we were in bed and Tman actually started crying. He's not a super needy kid, so that was sad. Thankfully, James got off a little early last night and was able to get up before we left for school this morning and chat with him a little bit and even play with him a little. That was awesome.
On my way in this morning, I got the first yes for Tman's party. Thank goodness there will be at least ONE other person there.
I'm at our other facility today for work. I work in the facility where the lab is, but I'm at the facility with the admin people today. It appears as though there is a board meeting going on. All these dudes in suits are piled into the conference room which is in between me and where I need to work and is totally windows. I am not dressed appropriately for this. I'm sure they aren't going to pay any attention to me, but I still wish I was dressed more professional.
I made up a hypothetical scenario regarding the Kate Spade lemon bag that I love in an email to James last night. He said that I should hypothetically, of course, get it because of my paycheck stress. But, after shipping and tax it came to $150 and although it's a bargain, I can't pull the trigger. James says I deserve it, that it's a great deal. Isn't he sweet? After giving me such an amazing Mother's Day just a week ago, he is saying I deserve another present.

Lead sales man said someone will drive them to us since they are all the way down in Shorline and we have made so many unnecessary trips because we were told one thing and it turned out not to be the case.
We may never go back there again.
I'm assuming you bought from Chuck Olsen? I'm so surprised; we had such a fantastic experience there. We didn't have such a great experience at Performance Kia (when we bought my sportage) which is why we made the switch to CO fo H's car.

Our buying experience was flawless. It was, but follow up for getting our second key and our plates has been a nightmare.
Another day of lagging around in the morning. I am just having issues getting up and with it this week. I managed to weed one garden plant another and push mow our large backyard yesterday all during nap. I was feeling it all night and my back is still stiff from the garden stuff. But H was pretty excited to come home from work and realize he only needed to mow the front yard.
I have a Dr apt later today and we are getting our double stroller later as well and I am kind of exited about it lol. Until then I need to get in some sort of a work out and get a few things done around the house.

dana86, you amaze me. You are acting like you are lazy or something, but you are WAY pregnant and have two little children. I think you are unbelievable for doing so much. I think you deserve some "lagging around." Do more of that.

DUDE. SAME HUSBAND, I swear, sometimes I wonder!! I had texted H yesterday about the bag and said I wasn't sure I should spend the money and he said I deserved it
My presentation at class last night went really well. I got kudos from the teacher on how well developed my company "story" was (I had my bestie, the awesome writer, help me finish it as I had most of it but couldn't get the finishing touches i needed. She helped me feel much more confidant and captured what I was trying to express but wasn't communicating well enough.) Everyone loved the colors I chose for my logo, teacher said it was a great font choice. My logo was well received, teacher said it was almost there but something wasn't quite right about it so I have some tweaking to do. I'm really happy and proud. I feel like I busted my butt on it. No class next Monday for the holiday so we get 2 weeks for the next assignment, thank goodness! A presentation Powerpoint style AND a creative press kit!
Weird dreams last night, then a loud airplane woke me up a few minutes early so I felt disoriented and sleepy. Listened to weird loud stompy feet noises in the ceiling :/ I think maybe there's a raccoon up there It was too loud to be a bird or squirrel on the roof. Also woke up with my right hip all seized up, boo. But i have PT today. Planning on planting my few veggies when i get home as H mixed in the new compost to refresh the bed. Planned on not thinking about new homework until at least tomorrow but my brain is all one-track on it even though it NEEDS a break.

kooshball - I LOATHE jeans shopping. I don't know WTF the sizing has to be so inconsistent, even within brands. I desperately need a second pair, but I don't have the patience to shop.
I met with a potential in-home caregiver this morning, and checked out a second daycare center. I really liked the girl I met with, but was totally unimpressed with the center. They were severely lacking in the toy and materials department. I biked to both meetings, which was awesome! I love this.
Going for an afternoon run once Em goes down for her nap. I'm going to run the Viking Fest route over and over and over for a year so I can crush it next time
kwpnjumper55 - do you have a website you'd share with us? I'm in the market for a new family photographer
She does awesome work. Tman was a huge booger the last time smiling like Chandler Bing, but she got some great shots - including the one in my sig. I can share some others with you, too, if you're interested.

hahahah i watched that episode last night!!! xoxo
I'm not even kidding. He was walking around being all regular and having fun and then when he's turn to the camera, he'd do this weird fake "smile." It was driving me crazy.

Late check-in: I had a great weekend, except for the part where my allergies made me feel like death after going to the parade in Ballard and visiting friends who live with cats. I felt like such crud that I stayed home yesterday. I'm wondering if I also picked up a cold, because I'm still feeling meh, but better.
I want to be able to go out and enjoy this weather, but the pesty, fluff clouds floating in the air are ruining it!
