We are starting the transition to one nap today. I am really worried that she's going to take a really short nap and then I am going to be screwed for the rest of the day.
ETA: she napped for about 1.5hrs. I am not sure if that is good or not!
I'm having a pity party for myself- I didn't get accepted into the msw program. I believe my application was competitive, I really want to know what went wrong.
I wish I could email to coordinator, but in the rejection notice she stated that individual explanations would not be provided.
The next cohort doesn't start until January 2017, so I feel like I am stuck. I am going to look into other options for schools, but they seem to be about twice as expensive.
DD is home and after a short decompression time, she has thanked me for letting her go to kindergarten repeatedly! She had a great day. While waiting for the bus, I decided all those flowers on my hostas are ugly so I cut them all off. Is that wrong? I don't care, it looks so much better and I can actually walk down the stairs without being hit in the face with 800 stems.
Now we're off to Sam's to buy all the things. DH is going to the baseball game tonight for a work thing, hopefully is isn't a repeat of last night's extra inning affair pugz. I'd like an early bedtime for all of us.
Our secretary just sent out an email asking for some "strong men" to volunteer to move some tables. I'm tempted to email back and say, "I'm not a man, but I am a strong person!"
Why has my 4 year old decided she can't do anything on her own? Things she's been doing since birth basically? Annoying.
It's our anniversary today! 9 years and we haven't killed anyone yet...haha. We're celebrating by going to PreK open house then to the dive bar for beer and steak night. With the new exchange student. And the kids. Not the most romantic but it's fun.
I leave tomorrow to go stay in the hospital with my sister's new baby. I'm actually looking forward to being forced to do nothing but sit in a chair and snuggle a baby that's not mine for 24 hours. Everyone is doing well. Sister is just bored to tears and wants company. She also wants to go home and sleep again but someone has to stay with the baby overnight. My Mom did Sunday night, my sister has been there the rest of the time.
I found this article very thought provoking. It's written by someone from India, so there are some cultural references that don't mesh, but the overall thought was good.
It's about how we need to change what we are telling our daughters with respect to "having it all."
I went for a walk with a coworker because it looked nice outside.
2 minutes into the walk, the sky suddenly darkened.
30 seconds later, we were soaked.
Then 5 minutes later it was sunny and humid again.
I feel like we have had no rainy days this summer. It's been all these extremely strong storms that pop up and then it's sunny again. It's strange.
ETA: One of these storms just reached my office. You can hardly see outside it's raining so hard and the road is flooded (Woodward). It was sunny five minutes ago.
I need a lunch intervention. For the past six weekdays I have made myself the exact same wrap: a multigrain tortilla with ranch dressing, turkey, blue cheese crumbles, spinach, avocado, and tomato. I should probably branch out and eat something different, but I don't want to!

I really need to get up and clean/make the bed/do dishes/start supper before I get too sore, but I just don't want to. I could also take the kid outside but it looks like it's about to rain and rain is forecasted. Boo.
We got the inspection report back, but not what the buyer wants fixed. Nothing major and nothing surprising! I'm more surprised what they didn't point out, but hey, whatever inspection man!

Sorry cobber06. Rejection is never easy. I hope you're able to come up with a new plan to get your Masters.
I can't wait to move. The (rental) house we're living in is still on the market. There was one showing yesterday and there are 3 today. I'm so sick and tired of showings!

I would happily eat the same thing for b, l, and d. It drives h crazy.
I was just shamed by my toddler. She pointed to me and said "mommy is wearing her jammies". I guess leggings are not pants.
1) I used to visit my great grandmother several times a week because her nursing home was on the way to the studio where I taught. EVERY SINGLE TIME she would scold me for wearing pjs out of the house & when I explained they were my work clothes she was confused as to why I would wear pjs to work.
2) I am so hot all the time that I have taken to just wearing short workout shorts & a sports bra around the house. This annoys 19 month old DS and he hits me with a shirt as if to say "moooom get dressed"!
I'm starting to think I will not have this baby early despite having been on modified bed rest to prevent early labor. But maybe I'm just being a pessimist?
At Target today I bought DD some wooden train tracks, while paying, the cashier said "does He have a Thomas the train set?" SHE has ponytails and didn't Target just get rid of the gender separation in toys? Not really mad, it just made me chuckle.
tulips, I made buffalo chicken salad for wraps tonight too! (Kind of the same thing).
I would like to punch an insurance company in the face.
I called to find out why a procedure we did in the office wasn't paid like I expected. I find out that somewhere in the past 2 months, the insurance company decided to whack my fee by hundreds of dollars. No notice or anything, no one ever calls me back, no one can tell me why it was done, etc. etc. etc. This kind of stuff just ruins my day.

@mrsbecky, I feel that happens to me at least once a week, lol. It seems like he either forgets to much of anything to eat and comes home starving or takes a ton of leftovers that I had plan for.
In the summer we eat a lot of sandwiches for dinner. I blame my laziness on the heat making me not want to turn on the oven.

Yep, there were 2 that came through Ann Arbor, State was a mess.

I had the weirdest doctor appointment. My PCP is getting divorced. Her STBX, who used to be the office manager (and I wondered where he was when I got there), is super controlling and evil and now that her kids are out of high school, she is free to get rid of him. She told me all of this as she peered in my eyes and ears and checked my reflexes. It was like she was the patient!
However, she did caution me that if I felt dizzy to go to the ER. My usually low heart rate was even lower today. She seemed amazed I'm alive lol.

My weekly dr. appt got changed to tomorrow for some reason. I'm hoping my dr. will offer to strip my membranes and get things going since he's usually on call at the hospital Thursday nights. And he's casually mentioned membrane stripping before. But I know it's practice policy not to induce before 39 weeks.
Apparently I need to do a better job of washing DS's armpits when I give him a bath because he's wearing a sleeveless romper today and I noticed lint in both armpits.
