1. I see DW FRIDAY!!!!
2. My dogs need an energy release, but the dog park is 45 mins away.
3. I want my tax refund ASAP, I check daily and it's accepted but still "processing"
4. I'm exhausted lately. Two jobs is whooping my ass.
5. I'm honestly and truly considering lap band surgery. I'm scared to say that aloud, but it may really be best. Has anyone had it done or something similar?
6. My financial situation is looking up.
7. One of my dogs needs groomed so badly, and I can't find the shot records.
8. CT I hope you are ok, ((hugs))
9. I am cleaning my car today

1. My breakfast has been in the office microwave for probably close to an hour. I really should go get it and eat it.
2. I need an admin assistant just to do my freakin' merges that come up every event season.
3. I'm half way through the average twin pregnancy. Of course I hope they cook for longer than average but I'm amazed I'm half way there.
4. Half way to go still seems soooo long. lol!
5. We picked out the cribs we are going to get, now just need to find the time to go buy them (2+ hours away).
6. Jelly Bean wore a tu-tu to school today. And with the rest of her outfit she looks like she came from the 80s.
7. I'm canceling my bday party because no one can come. Oh well, it was super last minute. Guess I'll just go out instead.
8. Maybe I'll skip breakfast and go for lunch.
9. Brunch?
10. Yes, my world revolves around food.

[mk]

1. I just got great news at the dentist!
2. I've been dealing with my stupid teeth for the past few years, and now there's an end in sight!
3. Today we're cleaning out our guest room to make room for another crib (and possibly another twin)!
4. I think I picked out the bedding. Wanna see? www.landofnod.com/sherbet-stripes-bedding/f10627
5. It's more than I wanted to spend, but I can't find coordinating twin/crib bedding ANYWHERE else.
6. Did I mention that I ordered another crib yesterday? Yeah, I did.
7. I ate a huge container of yogurt covered pretzels yesterday and today. Probably 1000 kcal.
8. Now I'm eating a bag of popcorn while Katie works out at the gym. Right.
9. I spent hours cleaning yesterday and the house is already a mess. Yes, I know it's going to get worse.
10. I'm excited for SMASH to start up again! Love that show.

1. A's birthday party is this Saturday, the forecast calls for rain, she's bummed.

2. We are 12 days into the 60 day appeal period, I hope it goes quickly and uneventfully.

3. I don't want the girls to wear dresses for Easter, Marshalls has a bunch of cute pastel colored jeans, I'm hoping to convince J that they would look cute with white tops.

4. Owl has been sleeping in a pack n play at the foot of our bed for a few months because her sleeplessness was keeping Apple awake in their shared room. I am happy to report that she slept in her big girl bed without waking Apple last night and woke up this morning with a dry PullUp for the second morning in a row.

5. Apple wants to hold hands and walk with us rather than be in the stroller now, it's so cute.

6. No broken bones? Fuck the boot. I see the podiatrist on Thursday so I am going to be careful walking until then but my calf muscles need to be used, the twitching is driving me crazy.

7. I didn't realize how deep of a funk I had been in until it lifted yesterday and I felt normal and happy and like a good mom.

8. I really need to get in shape, I've let myself go.

9. After reading that Karyn is a Dr, I googled her...now I feel like a creep.

10. Time to rearrange to big girls room.

[ElsaVonM]

1. I requested lox bagels for my birthday brunch, but there have been some salmon recalls in this region. Rethinking that idea. I need to let my mom know soon.

2. I just read that 38% of houses in a nearby ZIP code are underwater (mortgage-wise). That makes me want to rent forever.

3. Last night Jen and I indulged in some "when we have jobs again..." purchase fantasizing. She wants to trade in our Fit for a Pilot and buy a second junker car. I want a subscription to Birchbox. Ha.

4. My mom gave me a casual dress she decided was too long for her and I was skeptical, but it's really cute. And it has sleeves, and it's work-appropriate.

5. I need to take our computer in to get the software updated. It's a Mac and the current software is so old that I can't do the upgrade online.

6. I suggested to my local coffee shop that they sell chicory, or half chicory/half coffee, especially during the summer. It's so good and nobody around here sells it.

7. Jen has a clogged milk duct and I think this might be the end of BFing. She feels bad but they are almost 9 months old and I think that is a huge accomplishment for anyone, let alone with twins. We've been supplementing since they were 2 months old, so it's not a question of tolerating formula.

8. I think we're going to sell some of our little-baby stuff at the upcoming twin consignment sale, like the play mats, the bathtub, the Rock'n'Plays, etc. We were going to save everything in case of #3 (or #s 3 and 4 if more twins), but we've been able to get things so easily and cheaply from our twin group that it feels OK to prioritize the space over the stuff. (We're keeping all the clothes though. I am not re-buying a thousand tiny pairs of socks.)

9. I feel like my sinus infection might be getting better. Less headaches. Please.

10. I need to go running this afternoon.

[never2amazing]

1. Last night C fell asleep in the Kiddos' room and I fell asleep on the couch. At 3am, C wakes me up and tells me that my Peanut wants me...Peanut and I were awake until 5:30am...I am so sleepy.

2. C and I have so much on our plate and sadly take our stress out on each other. She and I just need a couple of days alone to reconnect.

3. Can you believe that my eldest turns 24-years old this month? How many of you are younger or slightly older than that?

4. I always go see my Mom for her birthday and had checked out the prices, the prices jumped $50...I guess because of the rise in gas prices. ARGH!

5. Though I have never met butterflygrooves, I would like to have a sit down conversation with her over coffee/tea about her number 7.

6. We need to hire a cleaning service for one thorough cleaning.

7. I have fallen twice in the past week; once I slipped on water in the bathroom, and the second time I tripped over the pup's bed in the dark (someone (i.e. Little Man) had moved it). The saying "The bigger they are the harder they fall" is so true...I ACHE and am bruised.

8. True's twins being halfway baked reminds me of C's and my twin journey...often frightening but always beautiful.

9. I was glad the power went out during the superbowl...I was putting the Kiddos to bed at the time so I didn't miss much of the game.

10. Finally at #10, now maybe I can get some work done.

We can have a PM/email/IM conversation if you would like, I'm always up for a good chat.

[tattooedmeegs]

1. I've been sitting here staring at a project I'm supposed to be editing/updating for about 20 minutes now, and I just can't concentrate. So I decided to take a TTT break.

2. I'm sure it didn't help that I worked late last night, then would normally come in late today, but my coworker was out and we had a morning board meeting I had to set up for. I was going to take one train later then normal, but somehow ended up ready in time for my normal train, so I was the first one in. Bah.

3. I'm not a fan of being the first one in and last one out.

4. I've been really good lately about bring fruit into work to have as my snacks. And I bought a bag of salad, a slab of roasted turkey, salad dressing, and an avocado to eat for lunches. Yay!

5. I also brought a container of shredded parmesan for on my salad... but that thing is calling my name right now too!!

6. I have no idea what we're doing for dinners this week, because things are all weird with me working late and doing yoga and rearranging my work from home day. Thank goodness we have a ton of leftovers from this weekend.

7. Trav has never had Thai food, other then what I've cooked, so I'm going to bring some home from this great restaurant in the city for Valentine's Day. Its going to be a pain in the ass to bring home on the train, but so much better then trying to go out that night!

8. I've already been thinking about our East Coast LGBTH GTG... I hope we are doing it again this year. I love it so!

9. I can't wait to go home.

10. Okay, back to work.

[2brides]

1. Clogged milk ducts. Ouch. I had them all.of.the.time. and they are so painful.
2. I had a dream that I was pregnant and could feel the baby moving inside. It was such a real sensation. I realized I missed it. I told my VERY pregnant co-worker who rolled her eyes (she is in the "I am so over being pregnant" stage.
3. I feel I am drowning at work. Doesn't help that I am here.
4. I think L is bringing home Chipotle for dinner. YUM. Carter will be thrilled. Chipotle rice is his favorite food.
5. I really need to go work
6. Can we still do TTThursday?

[2brides]

In the last 10 minutes, I've...





Gotten a contact high upon exiting my office

Nearly thrown up from the extensive body odor of the family sitting in the chairs outside my door (I had to shut the door)

Seen approximately 6” of butt crack from body odor woman



I love my job.

[hensmum]

1. I didnt think twice about it being Tuesday and there being a TTT thread until I read 2brides' post and though "Huh? Ohhh" Brain. Dead.

2. It's a bit of a tough day.

3. I need one on one time with adults. I am so tired of every conversation being interrupted over and over by Hen. I am desperate for a date with C and a friends outing. Wish I had more friends close by - or friends who could get out without their kids with me! Maybe I can see if any mom friends can get away for drink or something.

4. Long #3. I'm lonely.

5. There is a major learning curve with adjusting to my new schedule. I have all this extra time, and I'm not managing it well yet. I'm doing too much and wearing myself out.

6. I'm really excited to start teaching music. Looks like I will start interning in a few weeks, and teaching in April!

7. I have ballet tonight. But I'm not sure it's really what I need to feel better.

8. For once, a "toddler activity" I found on the iternet actually worked. I have Henry a bag of colored pom poms and some cups and a spoon - he had so much fun! Played for about as long as I've ever seen him play with anything.

9. We went to a playdate this afternoon. It was fun. Great to hang with some moms. Got to cuddle a baby :

10. Ugh, i would pay a million dollars to be out for dinner with an adult right now.

1. As usual I am late to this.
2. Tuesday is our usual early release day (1:50) before you get excited the kids leave and we have a meeting until 3:30. Todays meeting was fine but I would have preferred to teach.
3. Tomorrow is a half day. It is going to suck. Then I have meetings all afternoon. Yuck.
4. I am so sad about Elise's dog. It brings me right back to when my dog was hit by a car. I am so sad for her.
5. A blog I have been reading for a while posted that their son died this morning of cancer. I am so sad for them. He was Ella's age. It is so unfair.
6. A woman on my preemie board is facing such a horrible time in her life right now. In the past 30 days the following has occurred 1. Son (who has a g tube and just weened off oxygen at 2) went for an MRI to prepare for shoulder surgery (his second) and the radiologist noticed unusual veins in his neck 2. He has the shoulder surgery and then is seen by cardiology and genetics who diagnose him with a connective tissue syndrome where the kids get aortic aneurysms (which he has) and will need at least one open heart surgeries in the next year to avoid aortic dissection 3. Since this is a genetic disorder both parents are tested and Dad has the disorder 2. A echocardiogram shows dad has an aortic aneurysm as well that needs surgery asap 3. Did I mention Mom is 37 weeks pregnant with their 2nd child and now has a 50% chance of having the same disorder 4. Doctors decide to do a fetal echocardiogram to see if baby is showing signs of the syndrome and find that the baby is showing a totally different and even more serious problem with her aorta 3. Doctors at Boston Children's confirm yesterday that the baby does have the disorder and are told that most babies die of this and 85% will pass away by 6 months. God I don't even know how she is functioning right now.
7. C-section has been moved up to tomorrow at noon. Please pray for them if you can.
8. Makes me think my life is not so crappy
9. I wish I could take some of her stress on for her
10. Life is unfair
9. I just wish I could make this

[thiswillbe]

Oh ssg, I hadn't seen the post about their son! I've read their blogs for a long while, too. Devastating.

Lots of T&P coming to your friend. I can't even imagine.

And a hug for you, too, for all that's flooding in as you have contact with all these sad situations.

[awkwardpenguin]

ssg, I am praying for your friend. And for Caemon's family.

1. I've mostly been off the boards at work and I feel disconnected. But it's a good thing for my productivity.

2. Work is maybe reaching some equilibrium. I hope it stays this way for a bit.

3. Since I have worked hundreds of hours on one of my projects, I was actually offered overtime. I'm hoping I don't need it, but it's nice to have the offer.

4. I've had blurry vision, dry eyes, and eye fatigue since Sunday. I left work early for an eye doctor appointment and its likely a combination of an allergic reaction to using C's contact solution, a med side effect, and staring at screens too much. I'm so glad she fit me in. She gave me eye drops and I feel better already.

5. You can't do very much when you are trying to rest your eyes.

6. C and I have been doing money management meetings once a week. I really like it, it takes some worry and pressure off me.

7. We've lost momentum on getting our donor's sperm banked. It's so much work for him and I feel bad.

8. We're planning to cycle in March with the RE so we need to get it done.

9. I think my new user name is a little too descriptive of me in real life sometimes.

10. I've restarted yoga after a year break, and I'm wondering why on earth I stopped.
