1. My foot has been in pain now that the swelling's gone down; elevating, rest, and ice make the pain worse. It itches from the inside and pops occasionally but I'm guessing this is part of the healing process. I'm giving it one more week (today is a week since I hurt it) to feel better before I get it checked again.
2. Court resumes today, I hope it starts early and we can get an answer today.
3. I keep telling myself that this is a CYA trial for the county and bio won't get them back but what if she does?
4. J doesn't work until 2:00 and I canceled Owl's therapy session this morning (she has a cold), J is going to bug me all day about "why haven't we heard anything?"
5. We had rain last night and it should stick around through Monday, yay!
6. We had our taxes done yesterday and we aren't getting much back according to the preliminary number, hopefully it goes up on the 30th when they can be submitted.
7. A's birthday party is in a couple weeks, she is really excited about her theme - Mexican Fiesta.
8. I got on my hands and knees and scrubbed the kitchen floor last night, it felt so good to see it shiny and spotless.
9. I wonder how much it would cost to hire a GAP employee to fold our laundry.

1. I'm going crazy. 2. I went to my dr today for my annual checkup. I left with an Rx for Prozac and some names of people to call. 3. Or course neither of them are on my insurance, which gives me too many options and I'm just feeling completely overwhelmed. 4. I lied to my doctor. 5. I went ahead and filled the Rx. I don't know if I'm going to take it yet or not. 6. I want to go home and go to bed. 7. I would really like to not cry any more. 8. I feel like an idiot even participating here, I'm such a downer. I'm done for now.

Blue. If your got the Rx, please take it. I know a lot of people are against medication esp mood altering ones of any kind, however it really can help you, and you may feel tons better, and I want you to feel better love.
1. The kids are driving me crazy!!!!! If one more child asks me a question that the answer to is clearly written on the lab directions I stayed up until 11 making I am going to seriously loose my shit. 2. The kids think this lab is really cool even though it is totally stupid making observations on salt and sugar but they get to use a microscope and then heat them with a candle so they think they are winning the nobel prize. 3. It is so freaking cold today. 4. I feel so bad the construction workers today it is so cold and they look miserable out on the roof of the addition they are building at our school. 5. DW is going to go to a party tonight so she will be gone until late. 6. That means I am alone all night with E. Please dear god have her not be an ass. 7. I also have to tutor today. At least she is coming to my house so I can hunker in and not have to drag E around. 8. I am loving the soup I made earlier this week. It is super yummy. 9. My niece's birthday party is Sat. I am not really excited about going. 10. E fell out of her bed the other night it was so sad.

This made me actually laugh out loud. I LOOOOOOOVED chem lab - in middle school, in high school, in college - because it was so fun to see things concretely rather than reading about them in a book. It *does* feel like you're winning the nobel prize!

1. So many damn birthdays coming up. Its making my "no spend" month impossible. So I decided to maintain "low-spend" months for the foreseeable future.
2. A belated Christmas gift of a very generous gift card should help that immensely! Yay for happy surprises!
3. I. Can. Not. Get. Warm.
4. Trav is having a guys night this weekend, I have no plans. I think I'm going to use it to do a lot of pants-less time with Gwen and see if that helps with the potty stuff.
5. I think if it doesn't happen soon, I'm holding off on potty training until after her birthday party. I'm terrified of a too newly PTed girl in a giant, 3-level play structure. I'm picturing an accident on the 3rd level.
6. I hate my job so much right now. It's so hard to find something that would be feasible though. If it looks like a job I would enjoy it always seems to either pay way less then I can afford to work for right now, or requires way more experience then I have.
7. I've had this open for hours... so posting and lunching now.

bluedaisyus, I am so sorry you are feeling so bad. Don't feel like an idiot for reaching out to people. We all care about you and want you to feel better.
1. I sat down to read Facebook before work this morning and got confronted with a pregnancy announcement for a friend's baby #3. She was pregnant with #2 when we started TTC.
2. Also newborn pictures of a baby born to a couple who got married a few months after DW and I did.
3. Being a baby hater is ssooo not me. Sigh.
4. It is cold. I'm ssoo glad I don't live in an actual cold place right now.
5. DW has been working like crazy much. It's busy season in her office, but it's draining to have her gone such long hours and then also exhausted when she does get home.
6. I'm eating peas for lunch even though I really don't want to just because they're healthy.
7. I think I'm enabling my new employee to be needy. I want to be a supportive boss, and I want her to be well trained and not quit on me, but I also want her to not need me.
8. I really do not miss field visits. It's so much nicer to work from an office.
9. I am so excited for all of the press coverage CT has been getting lately!! I can't wait to see the Rikki Lake show. CT, you're my hero.
10. Blue, I am so sorry that you're struggling so much. I do hope that you are able to give the Prozac and try and also follow through on finding a good therapist. There is help out there and you deserve to get it.
11. I feel like there's been a lot of stuff lately about people who have been struggling emotionally (AwkwardPenguin, Hensmom, CT) and I've been thinking of all of you but probably not talking/typing as much as I should.
12. Look at me, I'm on a roll. All this changing names stuff is complicated and makes me want to call people by their real names, even though I know that defeats the purpose of anonymous screen names.
1. We had a 2 hr school delay this morning. We had an inch of snow. States that get real snow are laughing at us. 2. In any case, we had a nice lazy morning with no rushing and a trip to Starbucks. 3. It is supposed to snow tomorrow afternoon/evening. Just about the time my BFF arrives from FL. I think she is crazy for coming from 70 degree FL to 20 degree here, but I am glad to see her. 4. L has picked up the kids every day this week and she has done homework with them. It has been awesome. 5. I don't feel especially tired, but my eyes are very tired. 6. I need to go find food. I am starving. 7. This has been open so long that I found food and ate it. 8. I have a lot of work that needs to be done in the next 3 hrs. 9. I think I have planned a fun Sat for BFF, the kids, and I - not sure what to do for Sunday. 10. It bad that I have a bag of Dove Promises in my desk. Very dangerous.
2. Jen's mom is visiting thru Sunday and we can never find anything she wants to do, except go to the gym. Maybe she prefers just hanging out at the house. I like to go do things when we have visitors (or when I'm visiting someone else).
3. We have so many cute hand-me-down dresses for Lady Baby that she will grow out of before it gets warm enough to wear them. I've been layering them over long-sleeved onesies and her tiny trouser jeans. Very Pac NW
4. I wasted some of the delicious Lush lotion I got for Christmas - I slathered it on and then realized I can't smell it b/c of my cold. Boo.
5. I saw a clip of Pat Robertson using the word "slatternly" the other day and now I can't get it out of my head. What a great word.
blue, though i'm terribly sorry you are struggling, i'm glad you are still posting here. otherwise, I'd have to stalk you elsewhere - because I care about you and want to know how you are doing...good, bad, or had a turkey sandwich for lunch.

((Big hugs Blue)) thinking of you.
1. I am finally back at work today after the cluster of illnesses in our house. Fingers crossed we are good for a bit.
2. E is selling GS cookies so I'm trying to hit up a few coworkers. I didn't enjoy this as a kid and I still don't as an adult.
3. As I was recovering from the bug yesterday, I had a lazy day on the couch. I have not done that in for.ever.
4. Then I felt guilty and got up to clean up the kitchen and bathrooms a bit.
5. Every time the phone rings I hope it's not the school calling saying E got the bug I had. I tried to be careful but you know how these things go.
6. Work things are a little unsettling for A right now. She's hesitant to talk about it because there are so many rumors. I hope it gets sorted out soon.
7. Sleep was evasive last night. Hopefully tonight is better.
8. I've had this window open for a while and should probably get some work done, so I guess it's just 8.
