I have been up since 4:15 so I could go to OTF before H left for work. Kids do not have school today, which throws off my routine.
I also had really, really odd dreams about my mom moving to a new apartment, but she had all this creepy furniture that was haunted. I am talking haunted wall sconces. lol It is so ridiculous, but left me so bothered.
I need to shower soon and then my friend and I are taking the kids to a museum. And then I am guessing I will crash later. lol
XH texted last night he and DS were feeling crummy and might be getting sick. Early this morning he texted they were going to stay home if I thought it was ok. Uuuuuh, how am I supposed to say one way or the other? I know *I* don’t keep him home for the beginning of a cold. Plus they have mid year testing today, which XH would know if he made any effort whatsoever.
I also woke up early to go to the gym. Whenever I take the 6 am class I wake up on my own at about 3:30 am all paranoid I am going to oversleep. I am crazy. I also have to work today so I'm going to be on my feet for the next 10 hours. I will def. crash later!
gummybear, I definitely did not sleep well last night, for the reason you mentioned. And I kept getting some of the floor exercises wrong. I was just not awake enough. But, I did well on the rowing, totally at nearly 2700 meters.
This is my one day in the office this week and I am struggling so hard to drag myself out of bed.
My flight got booked yesterday for an interview and I just don’t know how I feel about it. I know I can always say no in the end, but it starts to feel “wrong” to do so after money is spent. I’m so torn on whether or not I even want to switch jobs. I also have another one that is clearly interested and wants writing samples, but I think I just need to tell them I’m not interested in moving forward. It would feel like a step back, I think, and that’s definitely not what I’m after.
I am spending some time this week with a sister company of ours and I’m kind of hoping doing so will help me figure out if there’s a viable path forward where I am now.
DS1 stayed home sick with me yesterday. He was so great all day (he’s not really sick, just a fever), so we got a cookie to share before picking up DS2. It was fun to spend some time with him one on one. I’m hoping he’s able to go to school today though since he’s missing Friday again this week for skiing.
Figuring out the logistics of after school care and summer care for him for the coming school year is kind of stressing me out. I think I have a plan in place, but I don’t feel like they make it especially easy on the parents of incoming kindergartners.

Ah! Thank you! I was already in bed last night when I remembered I hadn’t packed my gym bag and you just reminded me that I need to do so. You saved my workout today.

Movers come today. I’m at about 70% of normal so not horribly ill like yesterday but not my usual self. I’m trying to take it easy but it’s hard when I have things that need to be done. The good thing is we have possession of the old place til 2/4 so I don’t have to have EVERYTHING done today, just the stuff that the Movers can only do.
H over tipped the furniture guys yesterday so I’m annoyed I have to go to our bank’s atm (or else pay $7 in fees) which is super not close to us. I hate that atms charge so much in fees, grr.
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

Well done on the row!
Happy to have helped! I not a distance person, so i really to work at pacing myself. i can tend row 34-36 stroke rate, when they tell us to be at 24 a lot of the time. Today I was mostly 30-32, but was generating a lot of power. So, I was pretty proud of myself. lol
Leeham Rimes, I was thinking of you this morning. So happy that you are on the mend. I hope everything goes well today and congrats again on the new place!

I, too, was up at 4:15 for the gym. I did a KILLER leg workout so I am going to need a bath tonight to soothe these muscles lol.
H was also up early for the gym and took DD2 to preschool. I WFH today and have an hour before I need to log on. I NEVER have mornings to myself because he usually doesn’t get up. I don’t know what to do with myself (probably catch up on laundry lol).

I woke up at 4am for no reason. I got out of bed at 4:45 and did a 45 treadmill class and 10 minutes of arms. I’m tired now
I have an acupuncture appointment at lunch and if she has me facedown I may very well fall asleep.
We decided to go snowboarding presidents weekend and Found a house on the mountain that had dropped their price due to a cancellation. We grabbed it and invited my sister and her family to join us. I’m really hoping they come. DS will be ecstatic to hang out with his cousins, and my sister could use a weekend away.
DS "slept in" till 6:30 this morning, sleeping in because he has been waking up at 4:30 since Friday when the Hand, Foot Mouth hell began. I had my anatomy scan yesterday and ended up having to take DS because we couldnt send him to daycare. Thankfully he never had a fever and was back to his normal self today so we sent him to daycare. DH and I are both working from home today in case we have to go get him and also because neither of us could be bothered to get ready and head out the door. DS will be visiting the grandparents this weekend so we can sleep in and also finish his room and start on the nursery.
I woke up sore this morning and am still tired. I have to be in the office today and it's really raining so I'm sitting in my car procrastinating going in and hoping there will be a little break in the rain.
It's the last week of the month and work is crazy. I'm just hoping I can get done what I need as I hate when it all accumulates in the last few days.
I’m so tired. My class was driving me bonkers yesterday. I ended making a new seating chart and having the kids change desks.it was not in my plans to do that. I hope it helps. They are a great class but even the music teacher mentioned how off they were during her class.

Can you stop over at somewhere like Walgreens and just take cash back from the purchase? I do that sometimes since our bank is out of state and i hate paying fees, too.
My H thinks I'm a hypochondriac, and he might be right. Anyway. My calf has been hurting since Saturday night, and I think it's gotten slightly worse. It's not awful, feels kind of like a pulled muscle, but when I stretch it I can't really isolate which muscle. I also didn't do anything to it that I'm aware of - I noticed it after standing up after watching a play.
We flew back from Rome last week and now I'm worrying that it's a blood clot. This is where being sort of a hypochondriac is so annoying, because I rationally assume it's probably not that, but what if it is and I'm ignoring it because I think I'm overreacting? I did get up multiple times on our flight and we were in first class (free upgrade!) so it seems unlikely. It's not hot or red, just sore.

The principal and assistant principal who were removed from my old school are back on the news trying to “tell their story.” I’m so angry. It’s all bullshit and not a single news station or newspaper that keep covering this have gotten the other side of the story.
This shit keeps haunting me. Just seeing their faces on tv dredged up so much anxiety.

My Fred Myer just started charging .50c when you do that. The cashier was very apologetic and stated she wasn't a fan of their new policy.

Glad the anatomy scan went well! DD has HFM right now too.

Any kind of call pain makes me worry. It could be a DVT. I had one when I broke my ankle. My calf muscle hurt so bad. It was like a muscle cramp that wouldn’t go away. If I were you , I would definitely get it checked out. I’ve had calf pain well after my DVT was treated a couple of times and I went right to urgent care just in case. It turned out to be fine, but I know the warning signs.

30 weeks today! I’m on week 4 of hospital bedrest. I can’t believe I’ve made it this far. I just keep telling myself that everyday I’m in here is *hopefully* 1 less day baby will spend in the NICU later.
My DS (almost 5) is struggling with this though. He misses his mom being home and our normal routine has been completely obliterated. DH is doing all he can to keep some normalcy and help him process things but it’s breaking my heart to know how much he’s hurting.
My MIL has been staying with us and “helping” but she’s driving my DH crazy. He’s tired and stressed and her constant nagging of how he does things is really wearing him out.

If anything more goes wrong today I’m gonna lose my mind. I had Franklin at dog daycare for the love but they’re sending him home bc he has mouth warts, which he got from daycare.
FML. Now I have to spend 45 minutes driving to and from the daycare, then figuring out what in the hell to do with the dog.
I mean I get why they’re sending him home it’s just the absolute worst timing on the face of the earth. Between all the illnesses and this I’m bout ready to go bonkers

Not trying to freak you out even more, but I would not mess around with this. I let mine go until I could hardly stand. They did an emergency ultrasound that showed many clots in my calf and was put on blood thinners immediately. Mine was not red or hot to the touch but very sore. I still deal with damage in my veins from my clot.

Anybody else wonder if their empathy tank is totally empty sometimes? I can't deal with this drama llama in my office. Every day it's something. She's deep sighing outside my door and I refuse to engage. Someone more empathetic than I is cooing over her now, and I think my eyes might get stuck in the back of my head.
I've been eating a lot of salads for lunch, but the kit comes with quite a bit of cabbage mixed in. It always gives me gas and a stomach ache so you would think I would learn... but I have one more bag and it's just so good.
I'm really looking forward to the gym at lunch. I'm addicted to the endorphins and how great I feel afterwards.
