1. I want to buy more nail polish. 2. My appt concluded that I am NOT bi polar type 2. 3. I need to start working out but I have no motivation. 4. My new manager SUCKS! A few of us are keeping track of the days he leaves early and arrives late. It's his 3rd day. 5. I can't wait for Julie to get here 6. My 2 sisters Aunt and Cousin are doing a rainbow run in my hometown. :-) 7. I have two big birthdays this year. Amanda turning 21 (WE ARE GOING TO VEGAS). Sidney turns 18 on Monday 8. I hate going to individual therapy, but in have too 9. I got a part time job one night a week for my old boss. 10. I want summer
1. When I drove in to work this morning, I thought, "8.5 hours seems like a long time to be here today." 5.5 hours in and I was right. Is it time to go yet?
2. We took Carter to a kids shoe place to get new sneakers last weekend (vs the Stride Rite outlet) because we were at the mall and I was too lazy to make a special trip to the outlets. He got fitted for new shoes and yesterday he started saying they were tight. I felt them this morning and they are tight. Pisses me off that we didn't check (just trusted the woman) and that it is $50 down the drain.
3. I just went to a panel discussion of parents whose child died in the hospital. Pre-kids I could sit through it dry eyed. Now? I was a bawling mess and finally left early cause I couldn't catch my breath and I was sitting among a bunch of the docs I work with. I just needed out. My eyes are still bloodshot.
4. I hope last nights homework troubles aren't repeated tonight. Good lord, they were a mess.
5. I went to try to find clothes last night. Evidently Kohls thinks I need to wear shorts, capris, or jeans. None of which I can wear to work.
6. I was hoping to find some straight cut ankle pants in my size. Ha.
7. I had leftover sliders for lunch - so good. But then I walked into the lounge and someone had gotten Chipotle. That looked better. I am debating taking the kids there for dinner.
8. But I shouldn't because 1) I have pork chops that need to be grilled. 2) I don't need to spend the money. 3) Based on how they spelled their spelling words last night, we'll need a lot of time to work on them before their test tomorrow.
9. Tomorrow is their first t-ball game. They are so excited!
10. Since I started this, I've talked to L and we are going to meet at the mall to get Carter new shoes and have dinner.
Blue - I am so sorry and am just heartbroken for you. It's so motherfin unfair! I know that doesn't help much but I wanted you to know you are loved. ((Hugs))
1. Today my sugar counter says "You've been clean for 10 days, 12 hours, 15 minutes."
2. If I had a carb counter it would say "You need to get it together, woman."
3. Our town's library system does not have fines, and I have been abusing it. Bad patron.
4. I'm tired of being referee between the dogs and the babies, or keeping the dogs separate.
5. We need to stop buying grocery store meat. There are a lot of nice butcher shops around here, reasonably priced, or organic farms that sell meat if we want to shuffle the budget around and allocate more toward food. That Consumer Reports thing about ground turkey was my last straw.
6. I had two interviews this week. I hope one of them turns into a job, but I don't really get my hopes up too much anymore.
7. Summer fruit is back, and so is my obsession with fruit + salt + smoked paprika. YUM.
8. I'm trying to think of a book to review for a newsletter I write for. It can be fiction or non-fiction and needs to be of general interest to professional women. It cannot be Lean In or the new Sandra Day O'Connor book. Any ideas?
9. My cousin became a 35-year-old grandmother on Sunday when her son's twins were born. (Son is 18, his girlfriend is 20.) Pretty crazy. The babies are small but healthy. And squishy-cute, of course.
10. Mister Baby takes about three steps a day and then retires back to crawling. I think someday he's just going to take off and it won't be scary anymore.
1. N had his appointment at Children's with an allergist this morning. 13 pokes only to find out he has... no allergies! While I want a solution to his GI/sleep problem, I am so happy his isn't allergic to anything. He said it sounds like IBS. All I know is that if we have to do sleep training this summer, to get him ready for the baby, I'll be a lot more at ease, knowing he's not in pain.
2. Hensmum came over today and was telling me about H's birthday and what they are getting him. She was super excited to tell met that are getting him a (and she spelled it out, so he wouldn't understand) c-o-o-t-e-r. And I was like.... A WHAT?!! And she was looking at me like - why isn't she excited. It was a really funny few moments of my looking at the ground, trying not to show my confusion and burst out laughing until I realized she forgot the 's'. I'm still laughing. My god. Too funny. A scooter is an awesome gift for a 3 year old. A cooter... not so much
3. Still laughing
4. K has a job interview today. She's been applying here and there for the past 4 years, since we bought our house. She loves her current place but it's a 2 hour commute every day (we bought in the middle, so we'd both have a long commute and now I'm a SAHM and she's left with the drive. It's why we put our house on the market last year) but her position is really, really hard to come by and she makes waaay too much money. A school system could hire 3 teachers for her salary, so she hasn't had much luck but this school system is about 20 min away! Fingers crossed she likes it.
5. I've eaten like absolute crap today, in the car, at the hospital, and in a crabby mood. I'm going to pay for it at work tonight. I'm going to be so tired and cranky.
6. N is the cutest thing alive. His vocab is exploding. I want to eat him up.
7. I don't want to go to work tonight. N slept terribly and I'm exhausted and crabby.
8. Did I mention I am crabby?
9. My heart is broken for Blue. I read her message after bathing N. I sat alone in the bathroom for a good 10 min. I had a long talk with K last night about how lucky we are.

1. (((Blue)))
2. I've been trying to be more focused at work today and I'm late to the board.
3. I can't wait for the weekend and some sleep.
4. My neighbor was induced early due to some growth issues and it sounds scary. I don't know details yet, but please send up a prayer or thought for them.
5. The mosquito bites E has on her cheek from our camping trip are still looking pretty gnarly, poor kid!
6. The forecast for this weekend is looking AWESOME.
7. Someone here at work posted a "family photo deal" that's a fundraiser for her son's soccer team. I am contemplating getting photos of just E and me. We have never done that.
8. A car driving past the front of the hospital just squealed their tires. Really? It's a hospital and dude was not dropping someone off at the ER.
9. Tonight is Mexican food at the neighbor's. Woot!
10. Cooter. Hehehe. Thanks quinny and hensmum for the laugh.

1. Still feeling horrible about Blue's news. 2. Also still feeling sick, but I think I might be turning a corner. 3. I'm really enjoying The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, which I wasn't expecting to be that into. 4. I wish my cat could eat her food without pushing it out of the dish and all over the kitchen. Is that too much to ask? 5. Wish I could go to sleep right about now, but have to stay up until my wife gets home to give me my progesterone shot. 6. The weekend is looking beautiful here too. I'm planning to take it kind of easy since I'm still recovering, but hoping to get some gardening done. 7. Not having to cook dinner after a long day = WIN. 8. I'm mad at Kershnic's work hooligans. 9. I'm out of things!
