I'm already looking forward to getting off work and spending some time outside! We got helmets and padded covers for our bike seats (my ass felt bruised after sitting on it for like 5 minutes, lol) so we might go for a ride after dinner. We picked up my old bike from my parents house and it's a little squeaky and the brakes are worn but it works for now! So happy spring is finally here, hopefully for good!
My alarm first went off at 5:05 am. I just crawled out of bed at 6:25. Waking up has been rough since the time change ,wih the exception of when I was in Mexico.
Pretty sure I got what M has. No fever but boy do I feel awful. I was supposed to be bringing my SIL's birthday cake to her party tonight so I'm conflicted what I should do. It seems rude to bake and bring a cake when sick, but also rude to bow out day of.
grover getting back on schedule after vacation is so tough.
amaranth- sorry you aren't feeling well and am praying you feel better soon! Maybe ask SIL her preference? Not sure what I would do in this situation either.
Park play date with church mentor friend this morning! Also need to get some chores done so the house is in decent shape to show this week if we get any requests.
I bought a Keurig JUST to be able to use the Star.bucks Chai tea latte k-cups. It will save me a TONOFMONEY to make this deliciousness at home. I sure hope DH likes k cups! ha! Thankful this was the month we got paid three times so I could do this so soon. Starbucks was bleeding me dry!!
This 3:30am wake-up time is destroying me. I'm soooooo tired all the time. I can't wait until H's schedule changes at the end of May. His start time will go from 4:00am to 5:30am. It's only an hour and a half difference, but it feels like such a more reasonable time.

Probably too late now, but did you know they sell the chai latte base at Costco? It's pre brewed and you just mix 50/50 with milk of your choice. That's what I buy. It's $7 for 3 cartons, and each carton makes 4-5 drinks. Super value!
First therapy session was yesterday. I don't love my therapist, but talking to her reminded me of some things I wanted to talk to H. She and H really encouraged me take up writing again (neither of them believe I'm not good at it lol) so I'm thinking about starting a blog once I have enough crap to post. I'll let y'all know if that happens.
amaranth: Do you know if Costco has a non-dairy version? Our local place has it and I have no idea who their supplier is. Also, sorry you're sick. I would check with your SIL how she feels about you coming over sick. My Mom is the resident baker for her family & friends and she often just hands people cakes and leaves!
HoneySpider: I work evenings today, tomorrow, & Sunday so I feel you. H's boss wants him to come in to work tomorrow too, so our weekend is pretty much shot.
amaranth That sounds great! I think for me was just the convenience of throwing the k-cup in there, pressing the button and running away while I get baby ready. ha!
@opal the Costco base is just the pre brewed tea and flavor/sugar. You add your own milk. It's awesome because I don't always do dairy so I trade bewteen almond and dairy.

How is it taste and quality wise? I'm tempted to buy one too because I can't brew a good cup of coffee to save my life and occasionally I enjoy one, as do our frequent guests.

My parents have one (as well as my Bro and SIL) and I love it. It's all we used at my last employer too.

I buy this and I love it. Although I like it about 40/60. (More milk)

Made the normally 6 hour trip to my parents house in 6 hrs 45 min with only 2 stops to feed and change L. Makes me realize how slow of a driver H is if it only takes me an extra 45 min.
Now helping clean up the yard and porch while my family puts on the new roof.

This is how I do it too! Buying the concentrate saves me tons of money. Plus with a 40/60 mixture it lasts a bit longer.

We just went for a bike ride around the schools and back. My legs are going to be sore! Plus we got a cushion thing for my seat but my butt still hurts. Why can't those things be more comfortable?
@opal - I'm sorry that you don't love your therapist. Do you think you might warm up to her after you get more comfortable with the therapy setting? I would definitely read your blog if you started one!!

wanderingenough- love! Glad R is getting time with your grandpa (you too!)!!
Our realtor called at 4:56 with a request for 5:30-6p today. I told her 5:30 would be ok (6 would be too hard since bedtime for C is 7). Glad I did all the cleaning yesterday and today...still had to rush to pick everything up and make it show ready but it wasn't too bad. Hope we get an offer soon!
Urg @iluv2rn4fun- I hate all this selling/showing stuff. House just sell already!!
Me too! I was actually impressed with how well I handled yesterday. Usually I say no since it was dinnertime and such short notice but I just sucked it up and went with it. The buyers stayed awhile (in their car) after their agent left so hopefully it was a good sign. If not, I am hopeful it will sell sometime...we have a couple properties pending that will be great comps when they close so we have that going for us!
