Great news on the walking, blondemoment123! Congrats to both him and you!
It looks like it's going to be a decent day out. I need to shower because I feel super gross, but then we're going to spend the morning outside getting our tomatoes/herbs and annuals planted. DH and I are both pretty excited to have a pretty and functional yard. I found these really fun geometric bee hotels on Etsy and I'm ordering 3 of them to bring some functional decor to the yard too. Link in case anyone is interested: www.etsy.com/shop/Wuddl
DH booked us a trip to Indy to see his grandparents. Even after paying for seats and bags, the total cost for all 4 of us was $335 roundtrip. I'll put up with shitty Frontier for a deal like that.
I have already done so much more with regard to decorating this house than I ever did in the two years we were in our last one. I ordered frames for a gallery wall for the playroom, frames for photos of the boys, and am doing a Framebridge custom frame for a print I had made for me by the illustrator of Sea Prayer. I'm so excited to get everything and get it hung up. I'm also hoping to get a piece of art this summer that I saw last summer to put in our dining area opposite the kitchen.
I got a whole bunch of adorable succulents this week. Finding a wooden planter that is narrow enough to fit on the ledge in the kitchen is more challenging than I expected it to be. I'm hoping an Etsy seller comes through for me because I'm excited to get these guys planted and set up in that space.
We just watched BBT last night, and I cried too. Im trying to get motivated to get off the couch and start cleaning. It’s not working. I’m also hoping to clean/detail the interior of my car this weekend.
got maybe five hours of sleep. Taught my class and am resting before going to the funeral for a 38 year old man who died from colorectal cancer. i am just done today. Later i am getting a wash and blow dry and going out to dinner with my girlfriends.
otherwise i am struggling. Girls are with stbx this weekend.
I was up for 3 hours last night with contractions but they didn’t get closer than 6 minutes 🤦🏻♀️boooooo but we are making “big brother day happen for the big kids today. Ninja warrior for kids, build a bear, whatever they want for lunch and a movie 🙂

And get your butts checked out. I just read an article on how more men and women in the 20s and 30 are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
YES! They really need to lower the age that people should start getting colonoscopies and they need to increase the frequency of getting them. My dad had a clear scan and then 18 months later had a cancer diagnosis. I've had 2 already and have to have them every 5 years instead of 10 until I have 3 clear ones, but that's only because of my family history.
I'm sorry for your loss. (((HUGS)))
I need to clear a cabin out. I was using it to store some of the furniture from the cabin we are remodeling, but I need it next weekend and we aren't at a point in the remodel where I can move the furniture back in so I need to move it to a different cabin that I know won't be used until the end of June. Then I need to start washing all the linens from that cabin so that I can get it cleaned as soon as H turns the water back on to it.
One of the things I love about living here is the actual 4 seasons we experience...but it is supposed to be chilly and rainy/snowy for the next 5 or 6 days here. I have a bunch of tomato plants I need to get planted, but can't because once they are in pots, I can't move the pots to bring them in when it's cold, but I have no where to put them in my house either so right now they are in my kitchen sink and on the kitchen counter. I'm ready for planting season to be here!
I also need to get to town to do our big restock on food for the store for the summer, but can't quite figure out when to do it. Hopefully I can go tomorrow if I get all the stuff done today I want to do, yet here I sit.

This can be difficult, though. My dad had colon cancer and even with his diagnosis, I’m not supposed to start colonoscopies until 42. (10 years prior to his diagnosis) I’m not sure insurance companies are going to pay for early screenings.

With this recent article there is a push for earlier screening. even my GI said I could have had it in my late thirties given my family history
We have a birthday party at a horse ranch this afternoon. I adore the birthday girl, and we've known their family for 3 years now, so we're planning on sticking around- but, it's been such a busy month that I am really having to drag myself. City council meeting next week, multiple awards ceremonies, band concert, DS's big Disney field trip (which I am not chaperoning, thank goodness)- I cannot wait for May to be over.
I keep putting in and taking out the Garmin vivomove watch from my amazon cart. I’ve wanted a smart watch forever, but don’t want an Apple Watch.
I should just buy it.
I really love mine. Which color are you looking at?
So far today I've slept in (I feel so much better, it was a week), grocery shopped, and dealt with a bunch of GS emails and EOY logistics. I want to shower but I'm not sure if DH is going to want help with mulching the front yard or not.
We're heading to a friend's annual whiskey party tonight, still need to finish prepping wings for DH to smoke and make caprese tortellini skewers for that. Last year I made the mistake of doing the tasting flight a second time and was SO DRUNK. Like threw up in the parking lot outside their townhouse drunk. Not doing that again this year, ugh.
My GTT results came back and I am over the threshold. The threshold is 7.79 and I am a 7.8 so they’re treating it as GD 😭😭. I have to see the nutrition specialist and get all the stuff to test my sugar 4 times a day. She did say if it stays this way or goes down in 2 weeks, I can stop so let’s hope. I mean, I’ll do whatever is best for baby but it still sucks! Especially when I’m barely over. I probably should have waited to check and not gone 2 days after my Canada trip where I ate so much unhealthy food (including tons of desserts at my shower) and didn’t exercise.

I discovered a specialty bra place like 20 minutes away from my house recently. Decided to take the plunge and go get fitted today (which I needed desperately) and am just sooooooo happy I did it. Bought 4 new bras that actually fit correctly and I’m over the moon. It makes such a big difference!
We got everything planted! It’s about to rain and it got pretty chilly, so I’m glad to be back inside. I just hope the chill doesn’t affect the plants. I don’t think it’s cold enough for that though.

I'm only a week in but I really like mine so far. I was waffling because of the price but I got a super steal at Target. They had an open box on sale for $115 (-5% redcard) instead of the normal $200. May be worth checking out before pulling the Amazon trigger.
We have absolutely nothing planned this weekend and it's glorious. We ran some errands this morning, and now I'm lay8ng in the hammock while H putters in the garden and the pups sunbathe. I do wish it was about 5* cooler though. Then it would be perfect out.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
I can’t stop researching the city where that job is and just dreaming about my life/job there in general. I want it soo bad. I need to stop so that I don’t end up devastated.
Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m not in control of my life. My solution? I need to start using a planner again. But I don’t want a $60 paper planner. I want to buy an iPad and use a digital one! There’s some fantastic planner apps out there that let you use “stickers” and all that jazz. I realize that it’s 100% stupid for me to spend hundreds on an iPad so that I can pretend to use a planner for 1-2 weeks to plan my nonexistent obligations. What I actually need to do is see a therapist.

We had a garage sale today. It was beautiful this morning and then started absolutely pouring at noon, out of nowhere. We frantically tried to get everything into the garage (we have all our stuff outside so our dog can go in and outside through the garage). Nothing got ruined, thankfully, but the storms kept coming and traffic pretty much stopped, so we had to close down early We still made a few hundred, but it could have been a lot more. Oh well.

Would it hurt your current job to apply for this position?

We went to look at some houses today.
They were all awful. The one I knew going in we’d have to put some work into it, and I was fine with that, but once we saw it in person, it was just so. bad.
Like, it’s gonna need drywall redone in several rooms. And the smell. Omg. I don’t actually know if putting new floors in would help. And the neighbor’s front yard resembled our old neighbor and I do NOT want to get into that again. Lol
I’m hoping the other one that is the same model but looks to be in better shape comes back on the market.
