I have been up for awhile. Still so angry about everything MIL said last night and tossed and turned. Not for love lost, but just because I'm angry lol.
And it is raining and cold here today blah. Doesn't even feel like a summer day.
Re: overnight oats. I warm them on the stove in the morning because cold oats-blech. I also stir in a bunch of cinnamon and brown sugar, plus top with blueberries and strawberries.
You know when you don't weigh yourself for a long time because you know the news is not going to be good? And then you cave and you're like "oh, let's go back in time and undo that." That is today.
I'm so annoyed with DH this morning. For some reason he thought it was ok to start messing with me an hour before my alarm goes off. He was rubbing my shoulders and back but seriously, do not touch me at 4 am on a Tuesday. That time is for sleeping!!
I just looked into my retirement accounts and discovered there was more money in there than I thought. Not a significant amount, but like $5000. Which makes me feel better about taking my maternity leave for the year and contributing the bare minimum.
My brother is over at my house today painting the nursery for me. I have to pay him (he's trying to save up to move out of our parent's house), but at least DH and I don't have to do it. He also used to work for a professional painter so I know he'll do a good job.
Which means - this weekend is assemble all of the Ikea furniture weekend! So absurdly excited.
I was stuck at work during a tornado warning last night. I work in retail, so it's kind of a warehouse situation, with very little on the roof but some tin and tar. We had to make the customerz move to the bathrooms, because that's the 'safe' place. Ugh. It was terrifying.
Also, neither manager there realized we had a weather radio in the office until I told them, but it was too late by the time they fkund it because the office is a mess.
Plus, our computers are so old, we couldn't get fast weather updates. Everyone was trying to get info on their phones.
My best friend just left after a week visit and I cried . I miss having her nearby.
Ingrid and I are driving 6 hrs to a friend's house before another 5 hours to my mom's house (we're stopping for a day to take a break). H is not coming because he's trying to finish his dissertation. I'm a little scared to do this alone.
I like overnight oats! In fact, I have some for breakfast today, lol.
What did you put in them?
I use almond milk, oats, vanilla greek yogurt (but really, you can use any flavor, I just happened to have vanilla), and then I put fresh berries on top, and some dried cranberries. It's not bad! I mean, I'd rather have a waffle or something but, ya know. :-)
The key for me is to make sure the oats are soft, so I make mine actually a couple of days before.

Ok so I think where I went wrong was using unsweetened plain almond milk and plain greek yogurt. Then I just added blueberries and cinnamon. I think I need more sweetener.
Oh, definitely! Use flavored yogurt for sure. I needed plain for a different recipe so I had some left over, which is why I'm using it. It's much better with a flavor. I like the mixed berry flavor, or banana or something like that. Though, I do use unsweetened vanilla almond milk.
I had one of those really annoying street harassers this morning. He waited until he was more than half-way past me to say "good morning" then I wasn't sure who he was talking to, until he repeated himself almost yelling it at me. At that point, of course I'm not going to say good morning back to someone who is shouting at me. So he calls me a bitch.
H is OOT until Thursday. He normally drops off the kids so it's usually a shit show when I have to do it on my own. But DS was so helpful today! He made lunch for himself and for DD.
I too made the mistake of stepping on the scale this morning. It wasn't pretty.
H and I are going to a concert on Friday night and we haven't lined up a babysitter yet :/
Oh and my CW makes me really sad. Her H is a waste of space, and she thinks it's normal. Like, when I was pregnant, she "warned" me that I would probably hate my husband for the first year of my baby's life, and I kind of chuckled, assuming she was talking about the extra stress on our relationship that I knew was imminent. But no, she continued with, "You know, when you're up all the time and you're washing bottles and your doing this and that and all this stuff and your husband is sitting on the couch watching tv? Yeah, you're going to hate him." I just nodded and smiled the first 100x she said it, but finally I had to stop her and say "Look, I could be very wrong, but I HIGHLY doubt my husband will sit on his ass while I do literally everything. That will definitely not fly with me, that much I know for sure." And she was all yoooou'll seeeeeeeee. (OK, no.)
Anyway, DH just left town for work, and he'll be back after bedtime tomorrow night. So I have 2 nights and one morning with DS alone, and I mentioned it at work this morning and made an "oh shit" face, because I know I'm going to be tired doing it all on my own. CW was like "WOOO!!! Wait, what's with the face? I LOVED those days!! So much less to do!" And I said, "no way! Now I have to do everything by myself! ha ha." Her response was, "Oh right, your husband actually does things." It just makes me so sad! She's such a sweet woman, she has three kids, and her H does literally zilch. He doesn't even come home most nights until she's asleep -- he leaves work and goes to the bar to eat dinner and drink with his friends. I just wish she had more support and he was more of a "partner" for her.
I was all haaaaaaaaaa she thinks it's Tuuuuesday. And then I realized it IS Tuesday. CRAP. lol
A coworker and I just had this very conversation. I was all, "Hooooow is it Tuesday?? I was pretty sure that it was Wednesday." Fuck. The only way that it would be okay for it to NOT be Wednesday, is if it was Thursday.

My work systems are really ticking me off, currently one will ONLY run in IE9 (it's an internal system) and the other will only run in IE10 (I'm downloading Firefox to try that though.) So when I asked IT what to do, their solution was install 10 every time I need to run one program and uninstall it when I need to run the other. Yeah, that's efficient. And since I need one program open to work in the other, not exactly something that works super well. So that's fun.
I've just wasted half an hour trying to find the right font for my work program. It had an update and the new default font is Nouveau IBM and Arial is no longer an option.
It makes me so stupidly happy that Casanova loves Josh. I mean, Casanova loves just about everybody, but he slept above his head on his pillow the other night and licked his head, and he follows him around all the time. Its extra special because most cats Josh has known weren't that affectionate, and here's Casanova the attention whore of the universe all up in his business all the time needing love. (heart)
2. that taylor swift gif is killing me. she's like the nicest mean girl.
3. i survived my first therapy appointment today. the plan was every two weeks but he thinks i need to go back in a week. i appreciate that he understands the severity of the situation, but i hope he stays away from the phrase "down the tubes" in future sessions. i really liked him otherwise.
I took Dh to the ortho yesterday and his acl is fine, he ruptured his patellar tendon. We aren't quite sure how the ER didn't notice that his knee cap was in the wrong spot but hey, what can you do.
He is going to be home for 5.5 weeks! Holy mother of God, he can't stand to be sitting still for five minutes. They are luckily letting him work from home until his surgery next week but the following weeks are going to be a blast.
He told me last night not to put his gym membership on hold because he will be back and walking on the treadmill in less than six weeks. Oohkay buddy.
Haha, now he's yelling from the office that I need to schedule his physical therapy.
