And we just found out last night that H's mom and her BFF are coming to visit in October for 2 weeks. Thankfully, they aren't staying with us, but they got a hotel about 2 blocks from where we live. It's a bummer his Dad can't come, but because of his health he can't make the 9 hour flight.
Tonight, I'm meeting old coworkers for drinks/dinner, although I think I'm going to take it easy and just have diet coke.
Half way through the week. Happy hump day all!
minion and dana86, can we get a bump pic up in herrrr or what?!
Up early and off to work after a four day long (very long) weekend. I'm exhausted and walking into a shitshow. I screwed up my times beet before I left on Friday so I got an email from my boss (who I don't interact with very often) about it. And then yesterday I got an email for my new manager (they're trying a new system and all of a sudden instead of being in charge of all my own work, my department has a manager who handles all the workload and deadlines, I'm not a fan). Apparently I have a noon deadline today and I have no clue what the project is or how much work is actually involved. Could be 2 hours, could be 12. But I have a therapy appointment at noon so I have to catch a bus at 11:30 so my noon deadline is actually 11:30 - which the manager doesn't know becasie I'm used to handling all my own deadlines and workload (without issues I might add...). So - shitshow. I'm not very excited about the change for exactly reasons like today. #justwhining
That sounds awful I hope it doesn't go as badly as you think it will.
I am actually doing a tad better then yesterday. I was kind of bitter that D stayed home and I had to go to work feeling like crap because AF started yesterday. I need to get back on my work out routine at home in addition to counting calories. I am frustrated because i will drop a couple lbs an then jump right back up and i am not making ANY headway and feeling defeated.

Happy Wednesday!
I'm in my satellite location today, so minimal supervision (yay!), and the cat is officially out of the bag with my job. I accepted the offer yesterday morning, and submitted my resignation right after that. I was a ball of nerves, but now that everyone knows, they're being supportive. The only person not bringing it up to me is my direct supervisor (a fellow MA) because I think she's a bit peeved that I'm leaving. Well, not my problem anymore! LOL I never really liked her anyway, so no loss.
I'm pretty excited to start my new job - and I'll be in Seattle the first couple of weeks for training if anyone wants to meet up for a quick lunch or something (I'll be in downtown and the U District for some days). Whee!!
Literally no one came in today from my team... so I am just wasting time.
I am glad you are feeling better UW!
LL that is so frustrating, I know that story of the reorgs and trying to improve a system that is already doing well.
Getting H to eat better is a pain, he keeps trying to feed me things, and I am like go away I want to lose some weight. He asks if we can just be fat instead...
My sister made the Cheer team at her school. This means she's fundraising for cheer camp and gear. She's selling Otis Spunkmeyer cookies and Yankee Candles. OMG. Something about being pregnant and knowing I'll be home for 3 months on maternity leave = 2 orders for myself and 2 orders for H, because apparently H thinks the ones that I order are gross. But I swear every time I bake them, he'd eat at least half of them.
Meeting a girlfriend for dinner tonight. She just graduated from UW Med School!

Good Morning. Mood swings!
I'm feeling quite blessed today for being able to take Tman to school and pick him up every day. I get a kiss on the cheek when he gets out and a hug when he gets in - almost every day - unless he's feeling too cool.
Brag on my boy: Tman had to leave school early a couple weeks ago and ended up missing some tests. They only have very specific times that they are able to finish incomplete tests, so it was taking him FOREVER to get through them. I thought for sure he was going to end up doing poorly on them because he would take a few minutes here and a few minutes there and never would really have time to concentrate all the way. He got all his stuff done yesterday and his grades were posted last night (not usually so quick, but it was nice) and he got a 85, 94, and 95. I'm so excited for him. Since he hadn't completed those, he had zeros for those tests which are weighed heavily and his overall grades were low - but these awesome grades pushed him back into a solid A+. He's killing this last quarter of 4th grade - in a good way. He's making 4th grade his "B." Ha!
I got an RSVP yes for Tman's party yesterday from one of his classmates at his old school. Tman is going to be SO excited. His last day at that school, he almost started crying because he wasn't going to get to see this friend anymore (his mom is nearly impossible to schedule with, so playdates are pretty much out of the question). It's going to be a great surprise.
I am working at home today and when James wakes up I'm going to clean Tman's bathroom. Fun day, huh?
Feel better all the under the weather Nexties! LL - UGH, that sounds sucky!
Well, at least I got to leave work at 1:15 yesterday as my PT appointment got pushed up to 2. I am feeling better as a result, have to make sure I do a good job on my exercises this week! But heavens my psoas hurt when he was working on it. THEN I went to Target and only got some food (bad color correction in the ad, the cute pineapple print cardigan wasn't light cream but yucky pith helmet khaki that looks awful near my face). Read when i got home for an hour as I waited for my Rx to kick in and stop the nauesea (I had forgotten it in the morning). Then i unloaded the dishwasher, reloaded it AND ran it! And got the mail AND brought in the bins from pickup AND took some bad food out of the fridge to the compost. I was just settling to homework when h got home from helping his mother and his banging around disrupted my brain too much. AF started yesterday so my back started hurting and I got ridiculously cranky.

dana86 - you cray-cray! When you are going to be all lazy and loungy like pregnant girls are supposed to be? Get some ice cream and go put on some cozy clothes and lay on the couch. Don't get up until your water breaks.
I'm semi-relaxing at home and on a mission to find patio chairs to go along with our fire pit. H got a job offer for the interview he had last week I'm so excited for him!!

lol I am in yoga pants most days as long as I am not leaving the house and I usually take a break during nap time. Like right now i'm just working on my coffee and hanging out listening to one dog snore and M play somewhat quietly in her room. I also might go make some cookies to eat the dough. But H (totally joking) made the comment the other night that I'm the size of a house and now he knows why there is never any ice cream or cookies around, I'm not growing a human baby I am just harboring tons of cookies and ice cream that makes it look like I'm having a baby hahaha. Crap now I wish I would have gotten ice cream while at the store this morning... Now I have to make cookies
