The formatting is fixed for me at work. Yay! Back to my regularly scheduled nesting!
I feel like ass. I probably should have stayed home today, but I was home sick Friday, I'm off tomorrow, and I'm off next Monday.
Tomorrow is my first court date for my divorce. It's just a scheduling conference, to set dates for the rest of the process, but xh and I are both required to attend with our lawyers. I'm getting a little anxious about seeing him, and wondering how he's going to act.

I was almost late for work this morning because Ghost (one of my rats) decided this morning was a great time to escape his cage and go running around. H and I finally got a hold of him and put him back. Little escape artist.
One of my coworkers who has been nothing but trouble from the start has been let go. Could not be happier about this and her replacement is awesome!

It's a snow day here and I bought my very first pair of pajama pants yesterday. Since I was scheduled to go to J's school today and not work we are going to stay in warm Jammie's and read books today.
I got in a great run today- hard run for somewhere between .5 and .75 miles and then another 1.5 or so at a jog pace. It felt good, but my calves are tired now. Also H stayed home sick today. He was coughing all night and isn't feeling well. I love him, but it is hard having him home all day. I made him homemade mac and cheese for dinner that turned out pretty well but was a little grainy...anyone know how to fix that?
It's icy here, so I get to work from home! I was still up at 5:30 in case DD's school didn't have a delay for whatever reason, but at least I don't have to get dressed for work and drive in.
We went to the sibling class at the hospital where DD was born and this baby will be born, and DD loved it. Did find out that with flu season so bad this year, siblings aren't allowed to visit at all, and it's unlikely to change before March. It's not unexpected, and definitely a good idea, but still makes me sad. Going to see my little sister when she was born is one of my most vivid memories from growing up.
I had to go to the hospital today to have the blister that is infected on my foot looked at. After the doctor removed the bandage, he proceeded to pull the upper layer of skin off with a tweezers. Omigod, I am still in pain. I'm seriously questioning Swiss medical treatment!

The formatting is still messed up for me... I think it has something to do with my work computer because it was fine when I was at home over the weekend.
We got our tile floors installed and made great progress on the built-ins. Hopefully we'll be finished the downstairs by the end of Feb
I was looking at the bios on the home board last night and now i feel like my house is ugly. I want it to have a finished look to it.
I was going to make muffins for a playdate I'm hosting this morning but it feels like too much trouble. But loading up the kid and going to the store to buy some does too. I think we may just be having popcorn and coffee instead. Lol
Probably go back to the park today. Maybe the library? I gotta do some research into what SAHMs do during the day around here.
Join a moms group off of meetup.com or somewhere else and make SAHM friends. It'll be a sanity saver.
I def will! I'm already signed up for one starting in march. Its hard to commit to something with a baby due literally - today. Lol. But ds and I both still gotta get out of the house.

I totally hear you. Maybe a kindermusik or gymboree class could be something you could do together as well. But dont worry about going to the park too much, Kevin would probably live there if he chose. Lol The library story times aren't a bad option and they're free!

Juliash,
Add some non-cheese (American or velveeta) for a more creamy mac. I usually need about 1/3 of the cheese to be fake to avoid the grainy issue.
M sttn again last night, we all went to be at 9:30, and I'm still exhausted. I could have slept all day today.
I love all my makeup I got from Sephora. I feel pretty. Lol!
I have a lot to do today and am determined to not hang out here all day so I can actually get it done.
I'm thinking I want to wean M soon. But I have a lot of mixed feelings about it. I know what I'm doing is the best for her, and I love it, too, but I feel like I'm ready to have my body back. She's almost 5 months now and I always said my goal was 6 months. I don't know, I didn't think I'd be so emotional about it.

I got a night out with H and some friends on Saturday. It was so much fun and just what I needed. Although H had a little too much to drink and volunteered our house for a super bowl party.
Some sort of sickness has been making it's way through our house. No flu, thank goodness, but lots of sore throats, nasty coughes, etc. My 2 year old projectile vomited all over my living room yesterday but I think it was from all the mucus but she seemed better after. I hate when they're sick but I love the extra cuddles that come with it. She came over to me with her blanket and said "rock me like your little baby, mommy"
It is snowing here today. I'm wondering if I'll be at work all day or if the schools will close early.
This is probably more flame worthy- I am irrationally annoyed with H for trying to snowboard for the first time this weekend and hurting his wrist. He can barely move his right wrist and with me still being severely limited after surgery, it's frustrating when he's asking me to help him with stuff. No, I can't really help you open that difficult to open jar- oy.
The weather here has warmed up by over 40 degrees, which is nice, but it's rainy and blah today.

I had the idea to take Hart to Petsmart last time we had a rainy day together. He was in heaven watching all the fish. The only dowside was getting him out of there eventually
The gums at my front top teeth are swollen and tender. Just another sign that I'm overdue for the dentist.
And I totally fibbed and told work that our daycare was also opening on a delay this morning so I could sleep in and not rush to get us out the door. It was well worth it
I took the day off because I am not feeling 100% after having the stomach flu all weekend. I deep cleaned the apartment and did a lot of laundry, its so nice to have a sparkling clean apartment. I am now watching reruns of Real Housewives.
My bff works here at my company in a different department. Another good friend of mine works for my BFF. My BFF never really liked her and had it out for her since she started. BFF is firing F today. I feel so bad for F.
twostep- that seems to be going around our house also. I was so proud of myself yesterday for not getting sick yet as I am usually the first one to come down with something and then this morning I felt like shit when I woke up. I hope you are all feeling better soon!
If I realized how icy it was going to be out today I would have stayed home.
I am on hold with the doctor's office trying to make an appointment for DH. He has something on his leg and it has recently gotten bigger so it needs to be checked out. The real thing that gets me here is that he has been to the dermatologist TWICE since we noticed it and didn't have him look at it. At first it was an ingrown hair and now it's a hard bump. I think my history of BSC has him freaked out but I keep telling him it's not big deal and they just need to cut it off and figure out what it is.

That sounds like a lovely way to spend a snow day!
I recently found out that our Employee Health office will send your ass home if you have even a slight fever, and you have to be cleared before you can come back to work. My CW constantly comes to work sick as a dog, and she is hacking and sneezing and sniffling away. I'm trying to decide if this is the day I tell her how Employee Health will give you cold meds for free. I know I'll only be able to do this once... lol
Poppy I went through the same thing. My goal was 6 months but after getting the stomach flu for the third time because my body was so run down I threw in the towel at 5 months. I was over it.
I am a million times happier, calmer, relaxed, well rested etc. I don't want to convince you to wean. If it is going well or you think you can power through then you go girl. Everyone says after 6 months it gets easier. But I always like to remind moms that it is okay to be selfish.

My throat has been hurting for almost a week now. I'm over it.
My Mom is convinced that the reason the girls are obsessed with me is because I breast fed. Ok Mom.
All of the schools are closed in the area today and many of my clients aren't at work due to IMPENDING weather. Lucky them. I guess I shouldn't complain, it should be a pretty quiet day around here.
I still have my snow boots on because it's cooooollllddddd.
DH is at a doctor's appointment right now to find out the results of his MRI and I'm really nervous. He thinks it's nothing and I pray to God he's right.
