I wish we'd get our state tax refund, we got the federal one a while ago and I don't NEED the money since it's just going into savings but I like closure.
We slept with the windows open last night and I didn't sleep well. I love the warmer weather but really, cold weather is the best sleeping weather.
HoneySpider - Our state refund took way longer than our federal refund, too! Same thing, it was going into savings so it didn't really matter but I just wanted it to show up so I could know it was there.
H bought us a super fancy new dishwasher yesterday, which is going to be installed on Tuesday. I'm so excited, because the dishwasher that came with the house takes like three hours to complete a cycle and the sanitize portion doesn't work. I'm always worried that our dishes aren't actually clean, so it's going to be really nice to have a new one that we know works properly.

My dishwasher takes FOREVER to run, but I love it. SO quiet you can't tell it is running. I hope you love your new one!!
I'm also really excited because my Ulta order showed up yesterday. I love the foundation I've been using, but the sample I got is a shade too dark so I'm looking forward to trying the lighter shade I ordered.
I'm getting sick of my mom's company, but I definitely need her help with M so I'm also glad she's here. I guess I just wish someone else would come visit too for some conversational variety. I am glad it's Friday because that means I'll get my hubby home for the weekend. I hate that he worked all week
katespade and bk1 our dishwasher is brand new and works great but still takes forever! The mini cycle is an hour and regular is close to three.
HoneySpider I hope your return processes soon. Our state money came in first from both States.
amaranth - Really?? Maybe my dishwasher expectations are too high. lol.
I'm sorry that your H had to work all week. Does he get any time off for the new baby? I sometimes forget that the baby bonding leave options our employees have are offered at the state level rather than the federal level.

Let me know if your new one is shorter. I'm curious now!
My H can use sick leave whenever he wants to stay home (or vacation) but there's no official paternity leave. He is working while my mom is here and will stay home for a week once I have no other help. It's logical but still not the most fun.
I woke up thinking today was going to be a great day. Went grocery shopping, saved lots of money with my coupons. Came home to find out a friend committed suicide last night. I know he has been having some issues but I never would of thought he was suicidal. He was excited for some new opportunities in the future. We are suppose to keep it quiet for a little while so now I have to try to put a happy face on when we meet up with my mom in a few hours to book our cruise. She's going to lose it when she finds out.
H and I have been together for 7.5 years and I've always had my oldest dog, who is about to turn 9. He STILL doesn't get that dogs don't speak English, they respond to commands. He does things like yell "stop it" when they bark and they don't know that command, they know "no". He was just trying to get them outside and said "come on, come on". They know "outside" and "potty". Stop the insanity!!

I feel this way too. My mom is wonderful with helping but sometimes I feel like I need her to go away for a while so I can do some of it on my own. Too bad we don't live closer to each other.
@emtmissy *huge hugs!* I am so sorry for your loss.
MrsAggie I have to admit I'm guilty of doing that with M a lot. I'll get frustrated he isn't listening and remember, duh, he doesn't even know these words. I may as well be speaking Farsi. Yet it still happens again the next day.
rockinrobyn how far away does your mom live? Mine lives only three hours from me, so I tried talking her into taking a break and going home to rest this weekend, but she is insisting on staying. Not a fight worth picking but I wish she had accepted. Lol.

I'm so sorry @emtmissy
bk1katespadeamaranth My dishwasher was new when we moved in here and a cycle takes about 2.5 hours. I was surprised the first time we ran it but it does do a good job at least.
katespade My dishwasher takes like 3 hours for a cycle. It has a 1 hour cycle but it uses more energy or water or something. I can't remember. I run it on the normal 3 hour cycle just have to plan ahead for it to take that long.
awick14 We haven't taken our taxes in either. I think I have everything (except one paper) gathered. Have to get that done!

I'm so sorry @emtmissy
I won hockey tickets for tonight so hopefully I am still functioning by then, lol. Probably just a cold or sinus infection or something but I'm completely exhausted today! It's a playoff game so I'm excited for it!

6 hours. So she really can't just leave and come back. Today has been better. She is cleaning the house for me and I was just worried she would hold it against me but we talked about it and everything is ok now.
bk1- I'm glad I'm not the only one slacking. I do have to admit though that my sister is an accountant and she does our taxes for free so I won't be complaining if they don't get done asap.
estrellita- my Facebook told me the other day that it's been 3 years since we became "friend official". I really can't believe it's been that long since we all started feeling comfortable to be on each other's Facebook.
I just made healthy chocolate chip banana muffins. H is sad because of the healthy part lol.
Haha! What's in them? I bet they're still yummy.
I used Greek yogurt instead of oil. I also cut the sugar in half since my bananas were super ripe and sweet. I also threw in a tablespoon of chia seeds for fun. They came in at 144 calories a muffin when I was done.
