1. I posted earlier in the week that a HS classmate's son drown Sunday night in their family pool. This wasn't a close friend and I haven't seen her in 20+ years, but she just posted her son's pic on FB saying that she missed his cute face and now I am bawling at work. Bawling, I tell you. Mascara running...the works.
2. I need to find summer work pants and work shoes.
3. I just spent $$$ on a car repair and still need new tires and brakes, so I shouldn't spend money on clothes/shoes.
4. It was too hot for my taste yesterday. 93 in April seems excessive. Of course the 62 it is supposed to be on Sunday is too cold. I am finicky.
5. I seasoned my new grill last night, so it is ready for use tonight!
6. My work husband is coming to visit. I wish he was coming later so we could go to happy hour. I could really really really use a happy hour.
7. the kids have a dress down day next week, and the theme? camouflage. They don't own any camo - nor was I really interested in buying any. But what am I doing now? Hunting online for the most non-offensive and cheapest camo shirt possible.

1. I'm tired today.
2. I still need to buy our specimen. Oops.
3. My wife is off ALL WEEKEND!
4. Of course we'll be spending it tearing out the old carpet and painting the living room to get ready for the new stuff, but still.
5. NEW CARPET! NEW COUCH! I can't wait!
6. My SIL and her GF are taking the boy for the afternoon on Saturday so we can work without interruption. I think my parents might be taking him overnight and on Sunday for the same reason.
7. I hope we can get stuff done Saturday morning with him around, we have a lot to do and I'm worried about getting it all finished.
8. I hope my appointment goes well tomorrow and I can add the Ganirelix. I'm feeling a little anxious about timing with everything we have going on next week.
9. I'm feeling munchie.
10. I hope the guy who is supposed to be buying our old couch and loveseat shows up to get them today.
1. I need to water my garden, I've been neglecting it.
2. I realized last night that I hadn't paid rent yet, the money has been in an envelope waiting to be deposited, oops.
3. Owl's IEP eval is next month, I'm curious to see what they say about her.
4. I'm talking to the mental health therapist today about ending our sessions, she isn't doing anything we aren't doing with another therapist.
5. The weather is beautiful this week.
6. I started doing Charity Miles, check it out if you walk/run/bike.
7. I miss movie night with the kids, it hasn't happened since J has been home.
8. I got a call from the big girls school saying that a girl in that town reported a man trying to grab her, WTF is wrong with people?
9. We are getting 5 sheep, two adults and 3 lambs to keep as pets/keep our back lot weed free. I need to figure out how to build a moveable pen to keep them out of the garden but allow them access to the weeds before we pick them up.
1. We are going to go to DC for the week end to celebrate our anniversary. I am very excited. 2. I totally didn't think this was an option. I thought we were just staying in a hotel in Boston and catching a show. 3. This is much more exciting. 4. This is the first time I will be more than a car drive from E and I am a little stressed about it. 5. I am sure I will get over it when I am in my soaking tub! 6. I think it is funny that the people from dc keep saying it is going to be cool (68) since we have only had a couple days in the 60s so far. It will be dreamy 7. I need to go out and pick up my gift for S. I think I am getting her a new watch with exchangeable bands. Not very exciting but oh well. She loves watches so I know she will like it. 8. E bit a friend at school yesterday. She has done it one other time (different kid) so I just hate her being "that kid" 9. I have so much work to do and I don't want to do it. 10. I am hating paleo. I am not losing any weight. It is frustrating esp. since S has lost 8 lbs.
6. I think it is funny that the people from dc keep saying it is going to be cool (68) since we have only had a couple days in the 60s so far. It will be dreamy
1. We bought a new car yesterday - a 2000 Subaru. We paid cash, using part of my tax refund. It smells a little musty inside and has a cassette player and the insurance is $26/mo, ha!
2. Of course it is not as nice as driving our 2010 Honda, but I'm very happy that we didn't add an extra car payment.
3. Today is Jen's first day of work.
4. It's also employee appreciation day at her new company, so she was ordered to report at 10:30 to settle in before the buses arrive at 11:00 for a mystery day of fun.
5. I'm getting the babies bears from Build-A-Bear Workshop for their 1st birthday. Part of the reason is that I've always wanted to build a bear there. OK I would say that's about 100% of the reason. :-D
6. I need to go to the gym. x1000.
7. I need to find a cake place for first birthday cakes. I guess we're going to have three - one for each baby and one for the guests?
8. My garden was full of strawberries last year. It is currently full of dandelions. I hope that if I go out and weed all the dandelions, the strawberries will start appearing! (I didn't plant them, it must have been the previous tenant.)
9. There were three huge accidents in this area this morning - we're having totally normal weather, so just a sad coincidence I guess.
10. I wonder if I can find a Groupon for Build-a-Bear.

Yay for a surprise anniversary trip SSG! I hope you two have a smashing time!
1. A dear friend's dad is in the hospital and probably passing away soon. I wish I could be there to give her a hug.
2. Just read the story about the guy in Missouri who was handcuffed and given a restraining order for trying to stay with his partner in the hospital. What a nightmare.
3. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live in the bubble here.
4. E's GS troop leader emailed us all Tuesday night that the girls have to bring 20 SWAPS (a small crafty item on a safety pin) to trade with other girls when we go to the GS camp 2 weeks from tomorrow. I am NOT crafty.
5. However, there must have been some bitchy emails that went back to her since she sent another "clarification" email yesterday afternoon saying that they have tried to make these during meetings in the past, but never have time to make enough as needed. Um duuuuh because it could take several hours lady!
6. So I am cruising ideas online and hoping E will go for something relatively easy.
7. Ok, that probably makes me sound like a crappy mom, I want E to have these experiences. But as a working parent, I would have appreciated a bit more advanced planning notice.
8. A will be spending this weekend with us since she swapped coverage with someone last weekend. I am so excited to see her. It's been 3 weeks since we've spent any quality time together.
9. My bff has had a long string of illnesses/injuries, etc. I hope things start looking up for her soon.
1. Pumpkin is sick. Just the low grade cough bug we all had.
2. He is asleep in my arms at 5pm. Wake him?
3. L's brother is coming up sat to watch the kids. I was supposed to have an orientation (free food tour) for my new job. But, they had to postpone. I am glad he is coming, but now we have to plan our own date!?!
4. Is it wrong that I just want to stay home & do a bunch of house projects?
5. We were going to go to a B&B in Door county for our anniversary (memorial weekend). We just got an email from the fabulous gay owned B&B has a three night minimum that weekend.
1. Hardly got a second to look at the internet at work today.... back to back meetings/appointments, argh.
2. My employer probably wouldn't like to know how annoying and rare I find #1 to be.
3. B just found a recipe for homemade Cheez-its. Yum.
4. I found an acupuncture place...now to decide when to start...
5. As if I could predict when I will get a period let alone a next period after that. Ha. That's hardly a predictable event.
6. B is leaving me this weekend to go to her sister's bridal shower. (I'm not going so we can save some $$.)
7. Ball.and.chain convinced me to meditate. But I keep starting it after midnight and can't tell for sure if I'm snoozing in the middle. I think I need to start earlier...
8. I was pretty vocal in a supervisory meeting yesterday and now I'm anxious that I was too forward with my boss.
9. I need to spend the weekend without B mainly taking care of things that need to be done - cleaning, working on an application essay, etc.
10. My friend is also going to come sleep over on Saturday night, like we're back in college. Yay.
1. It's almost Friday, but I can still play. 2. The baby has STTN for the past three nights, but tonight he isn't messing around. 3. I want to get him sooooo bad, but I don't want to go backwards. 4. Is there something wrong with him? What if there is and I'm ignoring him? 5. When I go in to "comfort" him, he screams harder b/c I'm not picking him up. 6. Sorry, this is all I'm going to write about right now I think. 7. I'm sooooo tired. 8. We watched The Walking Dead S1E1 tonight. I'm not sure about it. 9. Everyone I know seems to be obsessed. Does it get better? 10.I really want the baby (and meeeeeeeeeee) to sleep.
11. Well I really effed that up. It had been 1.5 hours, so I got him up and gave him a bottle. I just caved. He was almost asleep and I put him back down. 12. Guess what- he's screaming again.
7. Ball.and.chain convinced me to meditate. But I keep starting it after midnight and can't tell for sure if I'm snoozing in the middle. I think I need to start earlier...
Heh. Yeah. You should probably start earlier. Though snoozing through the middle is still better than not doing it at all.
1. Jacob's reflux has gotten severely worse. I miss my happy big man full of smiles. It makes me cry.
2. He now refuses a bottle as the sucking really hurts him, so I have been syringe feeding
3. The ped suspects a severe food intolerance so he is being seen by a GI next week
4. We are leaving tomorrow morning on a day trip 4 hours away to see M's grandfather. He hasn't met the boys and he is not doing well. I am dreading this due to Jacob's latest development. Not to mention so not looking forward to what my MIL has to say about it. Oh and she doesn't know yet we aren't spending the night.
5. Sam is a completely adorable baby and last night discovered he can yell. Not scream but yell. Cue yelling constantly followed by laughter.
6. Jacob is also adorable but I am so consumed with everything else going on with him I tend to miss the new things he does.
7. My dogs are tap dancing on the floors right now so I keep calling them Fred and Ginger and begging them to stop. We have wood floors and it echos.
8. I'm exhausted
9. I am getting a spicy shrimp po'boy today and I am so super excited about this!
10. Did you hear Carnival is offering a Caribbean cruise for $38 per night?
1. My iphone died and wouldn't charge Wednesday night. I'd guess, too many trips into the tub. So I brought it to Apple, in a panic, yesterday. I hadn't downloaded the last 6 months of N's pictures yet. They got it on but by the time I got home, it had died and wouldn't charge. This morning, I got it back on and am frantically downloading and my (brand new) MacBookPro keeps crashing. What the fvck is going on?! I feel like I am emmiting some sort of wonky electrical current.
2. This is going to age me 5 years. 131 pictures saved. 832 to go... Lesson learned.
3. We're going to buy N a bike today! He's bike obsessed. So much that we have K's in our mudroom so he can ohh and ahh over it while I cook dinner.
4. I started my new job yesterday! The people are so nice. I'm excited, even though it's only 1 night a week. I'm even more excited to get N into some classes (it's a health club). I worked in a health club for 8? years, through high school and college, it's nice to be back in such a positive atmosphere. A free membership isn't too shabby either!
5. Note to self: Cancel gym membership.
6. 192 downloaded. Gah. Can this go any slower?!
7. K is on vacation for the next 9 days!! I can't wait! It's going to be filled with long after dinner walks and trips to the park. Our relationship always takes off in the spring, we talk and plan so well when we walk.
8. I have to call my OB office and tell them I *need* the OB I see on Monday to read my history and be prepared to answer questions re: N's delivery. I'm really struggling with a VBAC and repeat section. Anyone have a crystal ball and can let me know if it's going to be hellish near-death blood bath like N's delivery so I can skip the VBAC all together and just plan a section?
9. K opened up about my decision for VBAC. While she's going to support any decision I make, I can tell, as we get closer to the delivery, it's making her nervous that we'll end up having another emergency c-section. I honestly think it was more traumatic for her than me, which is unbelievable.
