Not much going on here, still no word on if I'm going to the US on Friday or not... Typical. A friend is coming over for dinner tonight and that's about it.
Happy Tuesday!

I'm finally feeling better today!!! I'm still really weak from not really eating for four days. I'm taking it easy and just trying to eat small meals and get through the day. Luckily it's a take it easy kind of week at work.
Happy Tuesday. I know. Hardly post but I read every day! Today the new marble tile floor and backsplash is being laid in our master bath. The counters have already gone in. Hopefully tomorrow the grout will go down and then Thursday we will have our plumber out to get us back to a functional bathroom! Yay! It's a really slow week for me at work. I literally have nothing on my calendar except for cross fit in the afternoons. I hop everyone stays cool today!

Morning! Settling back in after camping. So far, this summer has been really busy and it doesn't look like it's letting up any time soon. Working this week except Friday. Tman has swimming lessons after day camp today and Thursday. Tomorrow, we are going to buy fireworks. Friday, we are headed up to my parent's for the weekend. Next week, I get my first week off for the summer. Nice. Trying to decide if I want to keep Tman all to myself or if I am willing to send him to Vacation Bible School.
Regular day for me. I have my annual review today. My supervisor came by yesterday and said it's a formality, and that we are pretty much on the same page. Works for me. Got to visit my cousin again yesterday. <3 thanks for the thoughts, prayers, and vibes. He's doing so well and looks so much healthier and energetic every time I see him. It's been a month and 2 days since his accident.
Complaints: So I ran into a coworker in the coffee line at work, who works in a different building so 95% of our interaction is via email or on the phone. The second she found out I was pregnant she started spewing unsolicited pregnancy advice/opinions at me. I am and have been pretty easy going and receptive to most of the things people have shared. But we aren't close by any means, and when she's yelling her garbage at me in front of 20 other co workers, it was really embarrassing. She kept saying "you need to make your husband take you to all the fancy restaurants because you will never go again", "your life is over", "life as you know it is over". I tried to get her to STFU by saying, "Wow you are being a negative nancy". She responded with "well someones gotta tell you your life is gonna suck, because no one told me and I have two boys". Which is totally contrary to our stance on my pregnancy and my baby. We are thrilled to be pregnant, so excited to be having a baby, and are embracing all the changes that come with it. Oh yeah, then she said, "Yay now my boys will have someone to marry", her boys are 12 and 15. Dear God, please don't let my daughter ever have to deal with someone like that as a mother in law.
minion I am glad he is doing better poor guy. It cannot be easy being in the hospital for so long.
Just another crazy Tuesday for me. The house is under contract. I wandered around the apartment packing random things last night. Ugh I am not looking forward to moving day but I am looking forward to moving.
I did get a promotion in my 2nd job this month which is and so I am looking forward to getting my Alex and Ani jewelry
Yesterday was the Monday of all Monday's. It was horrible. The new upstairs neighbors are having work done on their place and I'm over it. I woke up to them sanding the floors yesterday morning. Today it's them banging around removing baseboards. Which means tomorrow I get the lovely pleasure of smelling the damn stain and sealant.
I have to many conference calls I need to run to go work remote anywhere, I don't want to be that asshole talking on their phone at Starbucks or a cafe all day.
Yay minion for your cousin! And agreed, I would have just told that woman to STFU (and later blamed any backlash at hormones )
Feeling a bit better today although I still don't know what is up with my body and this missing AF. (and yeah, pregnancy isn't a possibility) I'm also at a new highest weight EVER. At least this hot weather dampens my appetite so as long as i can resist sugar laden cold things, maybe I can try to pudge down the weight. MIL is going to leave Wednesday I guess and drive down to Vegas and visit her cousin. I'm glad. She hasn't taken a trip to anywhere that didn't allow a same day return in over 5 or 6 years due to FIL's dialysis schedule and they used to travel a lot. I feel badly she's been having a hard time again lately (and i know these weeks will keep cropping up frequently for awhile, i couldn't imagine losing my husband of 40+ years). So the trip will be really good for her and she has fun with her cousin.

minion that lady is cray - cray. You have more restraint than I.
Good morning! Yesterday was a little crazy, but I had a great weekend. My friend had her DD, and I got to hold her before she was 12 hours old Now back to the grind. ..
I am working this afternoon, which is weird but I enjoyed sleeping in a bit.
Ugh, I am so bummed I have to go back to school tomorrow. This quarter is going to be nuts so I am dreading it a bunch, I just need to make it to August 13th!
Oh yeah, then she said, "Yay now my boys will have someone to marry", her boys are 12 and 15. Dear God, please don't let my daughter ever have to deal with someone like that as a mother in law.
At this rate I don't think she'll ever get to be a MIL. At least I hope not.
Blah I am having a blah day so far. I did get set up for getting induced on Thursday though. No idea when since they will call when they are ready depending on how busy they are, so that kind of sucks. I am also stressing a little since I know inductions can take a while and my dad is watching the girls. So now thats my biggest stressor if I can't get things going on my own.
Not much going on here. I have a date with C tonight. Haven't seen him for a whole week. I know, the horror! normally I'm totally cool with seeing a dude once a week or so. Ive kinda missed C. Crazy talk.
I just found out my babysitting gig is on hiatus for the summer. I'm a little bummed, as I'll miss seeing her every week. And the extra cashola is pretty nice. But, I'm also relieved as I get my nights back!!
minion that is so strange that she felt like it would be appropriate to pre arrange a marriage (even jokingly) with your unborn daughter who is so much younger than her boys. I mean, I joke like that among friends who have little boys the same age as E. But if someone with a teenager said that to me I would be disturbed. She sounds like she has some social issues because those are all very weird things to say to an acquaintance.
And I agree with LL. While things definitely do change (duh!) we still do all kinds of fun stuff with E in tow. Have we had to leave a restaurant early because of a bad meltdown? Yes. Does that stop us in the future? No.

Evening! Long ass day. Thankfully the 10 hours days are over, going to normal schedule tomorrow. It's technically Thursday tomorrow, so that's going to be awesome!
Drinking wine with my mom, just chilling out. Have a great night everyone!

monsterz - I hope tomorrow is a happier and easier day overall.
ilovebed - you need to show us some progress pictures!
minion - I don't know how I would have reacted in that situation, but would have wanted to kindly (or not so kindly) tell her to shut it. And I agree with @lauralynne - if her kids are 12 and 15 and her life is "over" then she definitely is doing it wrong.
Very good day here. It's E's 9th birthday so I took a personal day. She opened her presents this morning from her party yesterday, then we all went to the new playground at Seattle Center for a few hours. After we drove down to the waterfront and took the water taxi to West Seattle then walked to Salty's for dinner. Apparently 9 is when you stop ordering off the kid's menu as she wanted (and ate) the seared ahi tuna Can't say I blame her. Home now watching a movie.

It's 9:30, and my big kid is still awake, reading in bed. I love it.
Unfortunately, I'm working, and I'm out of Nutella. Flying solo for the week is killing my daytime productivity, but I've had fun poking around Bainbridge with the little while the big kid is in climbing camp. Hitting up a beach park, tomorrow!
Happy birthday to E, InBetweenDays! Sounds like a lovely way to spend the day.
You still have two days, dana86! You went into labor on your own with your first two? My second was an induction, and it was such a weird (and stressful) feeling. Hang in there.
minion - your co-worker needs to STFU. Sure, life will be different, and there's a period of adjustment, but there hasn't been a single moment in the past 7 years when I've said "too bad we have kids, we can't do X and Y." Sure, there might be fewer outings to fancy restaurants, if you're into that, but there are always babysitters, and kids are surprisingly portable. Besides, your priorities change, and you love your new normal. Glad your cousin is doing well, too!
