Tuesday night happenings

[vthokie]

Ansley wore my ass out today. She was sick for like 3 seconds and then drove me batty the rest of the day. I'm so tired.
I also have my NT scan tomorrow afternoon, so I'm freaking out a bit. I'll feel so much better about all of this once I see a heartbeat again and a wiggling baby. H can't go with me, so that's nerve wracking too.

Logan just got done screaming from about 7:30-9 minus his time spent in the bath. Bath time Logan was an angel, before and after...not so much.

So tired. I can't wait for these children to go to sleep so I can. I am so lame in summer, well I go to bed early in winter too so I am just lame.

W and I were the only ones swimming in the neighborhood pool tonight. It was glorious!

I had an interview today. I've been at my current job for 9ys, and haven't been happy here for awhile. This opportunity literally fell in my lap, and it will be no weekends, about 15k more per year, better hours, and something I will hopefully enjoy. It went really well. He said he's going to put together an offer by the end of the week for me. I'm excited, but scared to change jobs.

we are almost always the only ones there at ours! It's amazing to us how little it is used.

Hot damn girl that's awesome!

Which suit? Only keeping one..

I just told my parents yes to Universal/Disney for the end of November. They're planning on most of the stay being at Universal, which I'm ridiculously excited for (Harry Potter nerd!!), but I'm hoping Emerson likes Universal. Although I'm sure the whole vacation will thrill her, this will be her first vacation!

My kids were super whiney this afternoon/tonight. I just got DS down, one left to go. Worst thing is I'm laying off the booze for a bit to get my weight down to an acceptable level.

I think the pattern is more flattering than the solid color.

[blane12]

ladybug - I agree with muppetinma. The floral!

But you don't love the pattern?
LoL

Actually I didn't really WANT either of these but I needed a new bathing suit and the options were only so-so....

[chirpchirp]

ladybug, floral!

I like the solid. Both look great on you though.

How exciting blane12!

I'm getting ready to pump and hopefully sleep for a bit.

I don't love the pattern.  I actually don't hate it either.  It's just NMS.

vthokie - good luck tomorrow!
blane12 - that sounds awesome!! I made a similar change about a year ago and I have never once regretted it.
ladybug - the blue is my favorite. Pretty mama!

Anyone want to help me choose between two different paints? DH and I are trying to decide between two Behr greys, Lunar Surface and Silver Bullet, for our guest bathroom. I know which one I like, but I wonder if they're both too dark? Ahhhhhhh! Picking paint never ends well or quickly for me. Says the person who bought 4 different gallons of "cream" paint and still ended up with a Big Bird yellow room.

[betsyray]

Floral ladybug pretty!

[blane12]

Thanks ladies!

mlkgls - that's reassuring to hear. It's a solid company, and I'll be taking on more responsibility. I think I'll be happier, but the unknown is slightly scary

And I'm no help with paint colors. I'm terrrrible picking paint!

[rainbowchip]

ladybug I like the blue. The floral reminds me of something my mom had in the 80s.

[TrudyCampbell]

ladybug solid

[spaghetticat]

Solid bathing suit ladybug

Congrats blane12! That sounds awesome.

I just marched in front of my pantry to get 10,000 steps. I wanted my Fitbit to be proud of me before I got a snack.

We are watching Dexter. Just started season 3!

I prefer the solid.

I'm exhausted. Jeff had a work event this evening, so I thought Blake and I would have a fun little night together. We were going to go to target and pick out his new backpack and lunchbox for school, then go to a little pizza place down the road for dinner.

He absolutely flipped his shit about the time we got to the far back corner of target. NOTHING provoked this-he just freaked out started screaming at the top of his lungs and trying to jump out of the cart. I managed to wrangle him back into to cart, thrashing and screaming, and went directly to the exit. It was 102 degrees outside and we had to park super far away. When we got to the car I literally had to manhandle him and basically lay on top of him for the 10 minutes it took to finally get him in his car seat. We were both dripping sweat and crying by the time we made it out of the parking lot and he was absolutely inconsolable for at least another half hour because he wanted to go back to Target.

silver bullet is my fave, but I'd still lighten by at least 25% and maybe 50% for a small space like that

I made chicken nuggets and fries for the kids tonight. I've never given A ketchup simply because I don't feel like dealing with the inevitable mess. Tonight he took matters into his own hands and attacked Daniels plate when he left it too close (we were having a picnic in the tv room). Evidently he loves ketchup.
@therealmc you should close your eyes now, picture to follow!

I returned that same suit and joked with the customer service lady that I wanted to like it, but I felt it was perhaps too Blanche Devereau for me.
