Today is a great day for me. It's my 3 month quit smoking anniversary! And I took my nursing entrance exam and scored in the 84 percentile nationally. Dh and I will be relaxing tonight drinking wine and watching movies.
We (all the spouses from MH's class) are planning a baby shower. Someone posted in the FB group last night asking for a volunteer to make the cake. Before I could answer, someone else said, "The cakes Meltoine made for tracker aaaaaamazing - she should totally do it!" Made me feel good.

We are in serious "kick debt's ass" mode. And I am loving it. Being on a budget, even a strict one, is relieving. I know exactly how much money I have and can spend, it takes the guilt and anxiety off. And it is great seeing the numbers get lower each month.
My 'fraidy cat kid got soaking wet at the splash pad today after four years of me begging him just to try getting the tiniest bit wet. He had a ball, and only cried when it was time to leave.
I ran my first 10k last weekend and finished in 58:19. My goal was under 60 minutes so I am pleased. So much so that I'm running my first half marathon in august now! :-)

I still have yet to have any meltdowns or woe is me freak outs over H leaving for his short tour in a few weeks. I did have one meltdown but it was over switching from Prime to Standard unexpectedly. Random.
I honestly feel 100% prepared, even for the whole having a new baby with a kid in school, moving, etc. I was more anxious when he left for a 4 month tdy (that he ended up coming home early from). I'm going to tell myself this is because I'm confident and we have our shit together. People keep insisting I must just "not be thinking about it yet". No, I don't think so. I'm tired of people insisting that women MUST be sad and "How EVER will I DO this!?" during extended periods of a spouse being gone or out of country.
And Ojo, you look INCREDIBLE for a)having twins and b)being so far along. You're kicking ass!
I survived close to 24 hours straight of work yesterday but I can't put any weight on my left calf and I work at 6. On the bright side I'm making a crap ton of money to contribute to our savings!

Ojo you are adorable!
I took a stand for myself and told my family I need some me time this weekend and so will not be coming up to visit them with E. I'm going to clean my house the way I want to, I'm going to watch whatever I want and I'm going to just relax. Its getting close to the anniversary of my Mom's death and I just need a few days where no one needs me and no one asks me questions and needs me to make decisions. I'm looking forward to it.

Good for you for taking the time you need! You deserve it.

Today two girls who take the same group class as me at the gym commented on how good I am looking and that they can tell I have lost weight. It has only been 7 lbs and I have 8 more to go but I have worked my ass off for those 7 lbs and it feels so good that other people can tell. I am finally starting to feel good about my body again after a long time.
