Why doesn't anyone want to do Randoms this week? Why does my phone capitalize Randoms? Weird.
It's that time again! You get to listen to me talk about how I can't extricate myself from my bed. Aren't you lucky!?
Seriously though, DS was up at 2 and 5, couldn't settle back down, so I was up two more times at the 5 wake up, and then he woke up for the day at 7. I texted H that DS sleeping until 8 (which he often does for H) is a bunch of bullshit. I'm pretty over solo parenting and we're only one trip in.
On a positive note, I was reading this article about the 50 foods you have to try in Austin. There's this amazing looking Bloody Mary that they top with half a pound of bbq. I'm going the first weekend in December and my bestie and I are going to go to brunch there. I'm pretty excited about it.
I'm STARVING every morning. I made a breakfast casserole on Sunday night and have been taking it all week for breakfast. I just ate it and am considering going to our on campus restaurant for something else. I ate dinner last night, there is no reason that this isn't sufficient. But a scone sounds amazing right now. lol
lol. If I don't make a conscious effort to get my steps in, I'm lucky to make it to 3k :/
The M&S presale was sold out yesterday, literally as soon as it started. So annoying. I have a meeting today that starts the same time as today's presales so my mom is going to try for me. My hopes are not high.

I'm very pleased that both of my WFH days this week have been gray and rainy. I LOVE being all cozy at home in weather like this, even if I am working.
Yesterday was so nice- extra time with the kids in the morning, DS and I had lunch with DD at school, and then went to the zoo. I did totally screw up DS's nap schedule though, and he was still awake at 9:30 last night, two hours after I put him in bed. I went in to settle him down and he had every.single.book from his shelves in bed with him, lol.

It could be your fetus, Elsa
lol I hope this is temporary- I definitely don't need the extra calories.
But hey, as long as it isn't morning sickness, I'll take it!

I have this problem, too! My body craves carbs in the morning (and afternoon and evening, let's be honest). I eat a healthy portion of egg casserole with cheese and broccoli and my body's like "Nope, not enough!"
Bread is my weakness. When I am pmsing and everyone else wants chocolate, I'm all "give me a loaf of french bread!"
I could quite happily survive on bread and butter. lol
My H had some kind of chaos at work yesterday. I don't even know what happened because he didn't get home until I had already gone to bed and he woke up, showered, and left before the coffee finished brewing. Poor guy
My mom randomly offered to keep my kids overnight this Saturday and then take them to the movies on Sunday (God Speed lady). So now DH and I are trying to come up with a date night. His idea included tattoos and the casino. While I would actually love both, we need to not spend that much and I'd only have 1 day to come up with what I want (and I've been "working" on it for 3 years now). But now anything we come up with won't be as fun

Carter is at a strike camp at a local church and I am going to drop Jackson off at their mommy's day out. I can't wait to have a few hours to myself. My husband is going to meet me for lunch and then I am going to go shopping. Hopefully the boys come home worn out!
I'm exhausted. DS1 keeps waking up at 5:30 or 6 a.m. for the day. He hasn't adjusted his waking time at ALL from DST... in addition, DS2 is still waking every 2-3 hours at night.
DH got annoyed with me last night because I won't sleep facing him. I have this weird thing about breathing in air he has just exhaled... it grosses me out. I can't face him while I sleep! We both recognize that this is stupid (both my stance and his annoyance) but we're so tired that we argued about it.
DS 1 has yet another early release day today, so I'm trying to decide what I'll have time to finish before I need to pick him up. On the plus side we had a fantastic parent/teacher conference about him yesterday afternoon, and his teacher made me feel better about a test he completely bombed a couple of weeks ago.
So I have this Fitbit, and it's been logging steps and etc. I know you're supposed to get 10k/day, and I was like, THERE IS NO WAY I'm getting even close to that.
It turns out that I actually run around a lot during the day at work, because I'm consistently getting like 8,000+ steps/day.
I feel oddly triumphant about this, but wonder why I'm not fucking skinnier.
Same, I just got my fitbit sunday. Except I wonder if my fitbit is crazy because it seems impossible. I realized that I get 10000 just from PT (walk to train, walk from train to metro, walk from metro to office, and reverse at night). Yesterday I got 18000. WTF? I got drunk at lunch, it was not exactly a fitness day.

I just spent $50 on flashlights because we have a high wind advisory and 35,000 people have already lost power. I know we have flashlights but could only find 1. Going through my house is like a treasure hunt.
My IL's leave today for a cruise, come back for the week of Thanksgiving then leave again for another international cruise. I'm not listening to their voice mails or responding to texts. I'm scared for the week my oot SIL will be in town, she's the one threatening to ruin my life.
When I had my D&C on Monday the Dr. Found a tampon. My period ended 2 days before. That has never happened to me in my life. I was so embarrassed. Mortified. I guess I didn't need to shave my legs since that trumped my naked legs. I go for the ablation on Nov 30. I decided to do it on the Dr's office and not be put out since last time I was put out I had a hard time coming out of the anesthesia. They said it will be bad for 8 minutes but I will be drugged. I'm proud of myself for going through with it.
I've been on a "FUCK GREEN LIVING" phase lately. I'm so sick of my clothes never getting really clean. I tried every single green detergent in existence. Then I started making my own, which actually works better than those. Then I said fuck it and almost bought tide this weekend, it was the smell that stopped me. I ended up with arctic power instead. I might even start using bleach. I also stopped cloth diapering. I have enough of my 7 loads of laundry a week, I don't need two more.
What's next, guys? Tampons? Paper napkins? (devil)

Plastic straws?!?
That's a great one. We don't really use straws in the winter, but I am fucking sick of having to boil my stainless straws to get them clean. My smoothie ones work great in the dishwasher though so I've been using just those ones for everything.
My gum snapping co worker just waltzed in, popped a fresh piece and proceeded to chomp and snap her gum. I passive aggressively huffed and put my ear buds in. I CAN STILL HEAR HER SNAPPING.
DH is growing his beard out and I HAAATE it. I considered not shaving my legs to be spiteful but he wouldn't care. And then I'd probably get in an accident and some hot EMT would see my hairy legs.

We're sitting next to our opposition outside the small claims court. I'm nervous as all hell and this is awkward. He's going through his paperwork and writing tons of notes. I really hope we've prepared the right stuff. I have everything I could think of. Can't wait for this to be over!
My random is that I suuuuuuuck at going to the gym! I knew this, so I joined the cheapest possible gym since I know I'll waste a lot of my membership. I really cannot make myself get out of bed earlier. And my evenings are often taken up with other activities. I'm so mad at myself. But that still doesn't make me get out of bed in the mornings.

Yeah, I have just accepted this about myself. I can't plan to do anything in the morning. More sleep always wins.

My random is that it was 39 degrees this morning, and I do not own clothing to keep me warm in weather that cold. But, it will end up being like 75 today, so I don't need it for that long.
My baby 13.5 hours last night. Should I be worried? He's always a good sleeper but usually sleeps for 12 hours. He did have a dr appt yesterday so maybe he exhausted himself? I hope he isn't coming down with something.
