Painting our new house is turning out to be a nightmare. Specifically one bedroom. The previous owners splattered one room. I posted about it here and y'all said it would horrible to fix and it is. They even splattered the fucking ceiling. We have to rip out the baseboards and door frames because their really bright/dark shades of various colors. Thankfully the Killz stuff we bought and the paint we chose covered the rest of the room well. My muscles are sore and we have another full day of painting to finish the bedrooms today. I'm really happy with the colors we chose so far though.
H got up with the kids and went and got Dunkin for us. We JUST got our first DUnkin in town and it is a very big deal lol.
We went to a pool party all day so I lazily drank all day. We put the boys to bed at 8 pm and I was in bed by 9 pm. I slept for 10 hours and feel amazing.
I just got back from kicking my ass in a workout. I am ready to take on the day now.
Good luck, Elizabeth. This is probably outdated bc I don't know if people use this anymore, but my parents had success using Chantix to help quit smoking.
My random is I came down to Tampa to visit my mom and do to the beach, but it's been thundering and raining all weekend. Boo
I'm stuck at work from 11-630 today, but then meeting up with wrath0fkuus for dinner tonight! Then back to work the next two days and my foot surgery is on Wednesday.
I am kind of looking forward to the 6+ weeks off to be away from the cattiness and bullshit at work. Sent from my totally awesome galaxy s3.

It's just me and my girls until tomorrow hopefully they don't fight too much. I really want to go for a walk but it's already 80 and the temp is going up fast. I think today we will be in the pool most of the day.
Wow! Hope it works well for you. I've been trying to encourage DH to quit for years, he promised he would when DS was born but then the NICU stay was so stressful it never happened.
My random: DS wants to do something fun today, and I do too since I'm due so soon. My nephew's bday is at a bowling alley over an hour away. It's free and indoors (it's so hot and currently raining) but I don't want to spend 2 hours in the car! And I'm struggling to find something fun to do locally so I should just go to the party, but I really really do not want to drive so far today. In the rain. At 37 weeks pregnant. I'm justified in this, right? Nephew has already received and opened his gift.
H and The German (our friend from Germany who is visiting) are putting together my new desk. I assume this will take them all day.
I'm making brisket, ribs, German potato salad, and oven baked veggies for dinner tonight. We have shoofly pie for dessert. I've invited several people over and haven't heard back from anyone. Why doesn't anyone want to come eat my food!?!?!
My Aunt passed away yesterday morning after a seven month battle with cancer. Everything feels so raw, and I've been avoiding Facebook like the plague since so many family members have been changing their profile photos to ones with her in them. I'm really going to try to enjoy my day with H on the 4th, because her viewing and funeral are the next two days. I'm just so sad, for our entire family. I would not have wanted her to keep suffering and know no one else would, but she and my Uncle were together for 36 years and he's completely lost and broken.

My sister is being induced this morning. She is 18, no car, no license, living in an itty bitty basement apartment with no Internet/tv. I'm so worried for her. I'm sure she will figure it out, but god it is going to suck for her. I keep trying to talk to her and see what she needs, but all she tells me is things are fine, don't worry. Also, I realize not having Internet and tv isn't a huge thing, but I think of all the hours spent nursing and walking and holding. Tv watching and Internet surfing are what helped me stay sand during some of those cluster feedings and long, rough nights.

My H is working all day today. I have a ton of stuff I should be doing but I'm here instead.
My sisters and I went and got mani/pedis yesterday. It was my & L's gift to M for her birthday. M had never had a pedi before. She LOVED it and is hooked! We had so much fun just hanging out together just the three of us. I'm so glad that my sisters and I have good adult relationships... it was rough for a few years there back in the late teens/early 20s.

Chantix is still available. My doctor wouldn't allow it for me for whatever reason and he wouldn't approve the gum or patches so I'm hoping this book helps.

I'm at work. Pretty sure that about 75% of the officers and firemen I have spoken to this morning have been douchebags. I'm kind of over it and still have 4.5 hours to go.
Going to see a friend and her family tonight. They leave Friday to move to Nashville. I can't decide if I want to take my children with me.
They just built a Dunkin Donuts 5 min from my house. I'm addicted to mocha iced coffees with cream and sugar. There's just nothing like it. And they're .99ยข from 3-6.
I am sex starved. This sucks. I haven't gone this long without sex since I was seventeen.
I know that this is *not* a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I have much bigger problems. But XH keeps propositioning me, since neither of us are willing to date until our divorce is final. Luckily, all I have to do to stay strong is picture his peen in my AUNT. That makes it easy to say FUCKNO.
I am having a minor freak out that my kids' first birthday party is 3 weeks from today and I haven't done anything to get ready. Guess I know what I'll be doing later.

Maybe it is bc of the side effects some people had? It didn't happen to my parents, but I do remember hearing about that. Good luck with the book...it's really hard, but I know you can do it!

Thank you . It's probably because I'm already on an AD.

So sorry for your loss Bali.
DD had a low grade temp yesterday and was not herself. She woke up at 2:30 am burning up (she'd had motrin before bed) and her temp was 103.1 in a cool bedroom. Got it down with meds and she slept until 9:45 a.m., but I'm feeling zombie like and DH is golfing. Temp staying down, but she's definitely not herself. Hopefully it passes soon. She had a tick a few weeks ago so of course that is in the back of my mind, but a fever is going around daycare, so I need to chill out.
I am supposed to be at the pride parade with my H this a.m. Instead I am on the couch with awful period cramps. Which apparently also means that our TTC efforts this cycle were a bust. Double bummer.
I have a pimple on the side on my mouth and it hurts. Those and nostril pimples are the worst.
I think I'm finally going to get around to painting the master bedroom today or tomorrow. Right now it's this bright ass yellow that my h picked, and he loves it, but it's too fucking yellow and the baby just looks around like he's tripping on acid when he's in our room, which makes it impossible to get him to sleep. Plus, I never really liked the color, I just left it because h liked it.
I need to do something about my crap ass memory. It's getting bad. I seriousky cannot allow myself to even pick up a towel or a toy on the way to my mission or else I will totally forget what I was trying to do in the first place.
