Good morning! Today is grocery day in my house, so I made my grocery run -- stopped by Aldi to get real American marshmallows and some Junior Mints and then to Woolworth's to finish up the week's shopping. I was very pleased with myself -- I planned meals for the week (through next Wednesday) and spent just $47 and that includes the ridiculous import prices for the Junior Mints and marshmallows!
I also picked up a paper and found a job that sounds perfect for me, so I will be applying for that this week. Fingers crossed... it's Tuesday to Saturday, 9:00 - 3:30 each day. I hope I can get it. The only downside is it's about 2K from home, on major streets with no sidewalks, so it would be difficult to walk home.... but that can be overcome and I'd get decent exercise walking.
QOTD: When I went out I wore jeans, a turtleneck shirt, heavy socks, purple suede walking shoes and my medium-weight polartec jacket. When I got home, I ditched the jacket, shoes and jeans in favour of yoga pants, stay-at-home socks (over the heavy ones, my feet were freezing), and a lightweight sweater.
Morning. It is my Friday this week - YAY!!! Going looking at creches again tomorrow so that is a pain... must remember to ring them this morning and make appointments...
QOTD: Right this second? I'm wearing the trousers of my black suit with heels but I haven't changed my top half yet so I'm still wearing my thermal top that I cycled into work in... good combo? No... but I've a shirt on the back of my office door that I'm about to change into. I'll probably end up wearing my tracksuit leggings this evening or some cargo pants and a tshirt.

Good morning ! This week has flown by except I sort of thought it was Thursday already and it's not, so that's fun! Tonight we're having dinner with some friends and that's about it. Yesterday I got a package from my mom and it was full of a bunch of goodies! DH got about 8lbs of beef jerky and was in heaven.
QOTD: I'm wearing black slacks, a tan short sleeve button down shirt and black flats. Kind of boring, but they're new, so that makes it better!

Publius: I hope you feel better soon.
Since my doctor canceled most of his appointments yesterday, I have to go today to give him the NT results and get a general checkup. Since they managed to squeeze me in today, I will probably be waiting for a long time.
QOTD: I am still in my PJs. I will probably wear black pants and a t-shirt.

Morning! I´m hoping to make an Ikea run before I get the kiddo from the nanny. This afternoon kiddo has a playdate with our twin friends, and I´m hoping to finish doing all the paperwork that I´ve been putting off.
dulcemariamar: Have fun waiting! I also spent a fair amount of time in that waiting room. Take a book beccause those parenting magazines get boring fast.
Today I am going to try to get an appointment with the pediatrician for Kernel--just to get a well visit and so she has a doctor here. I'm also going to apply for her and my tax numbers that I didn't know we were supposed to have until yesterday.
Which leads me into a mini-rant, how the eff is it possible that you aren't assigned a tax number on the spot? How can it take over a month and a half for it to arrive by mail? WTF?? I can't apply for Aurelia's allowance or mine without these numbers and apparently they take forever to get. I don't get it. Hmph.
QOTD: Jeans, green tank top, purple v-neck t-shirt on top. No shoes yet, but I'll probably be wearing my brown Clarks boots when I go out.
I'm lounging around with my tea and breakfast. I need to go to the store, exercise, clean house, etc. I would also like to go see a movie this afternoon. Not sure what yet.
Good morning! Nothing much today, I actually felt really good last night and (gasp!) cleaned the kitchen so I'm hoping to continue that into today and maybe clean something else. Or pack for Ireland.
QODT: Maternity jeans and a red and blue t-shirt with white flats. It's sunny today!
No specific plans today, I wanted to get a pedi, but was too slow this morning to get everything done in time to be able to go afterwards. Oh well - tomorrow is another day.
QOTD: a green skirt and a simple black shirt. Not sure about shoes when I have to actually leave the house later on, as I didn't get that pedi and my feet look hideous!

Morning! We're headed out on vacation with my parents today, so I'll be missing for about a week. The only internet at the cabin on the lake we're going to is via phone, and I don't have a phone with internet access (yes, I still live in the stone age), so it's internet withdrawal time for me!
QOTD: I'm currently still in my jammies - t-shirt and boxers
BFP1: DD born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
BFP2: 3/18/12, blighted ovum, natural m/c @ 7w4d
BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w3d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence
Oh! When you coming to Ireland?? Where are you visiting??
Just a super quick visit to meet up with my parents-in-law who are in Dublin for a conference. Flying into Dublin Sunday morning, Sunday-Monday in Kilkenny and Tuesday in Dublin at the conference dinner. DH is going out a few days early to see some friends but I'm just focussing on 'must-do's' right now!
Just got back from running all over town with DD. She only has a half-school day on Wednesdays. I have a love-hate relationship with Wednesdays. It's nice to get out and around and have an enforced day off from work, it's hard to keep up with a 4-year-old. I come home exhausted and she's like the Energizer bunny. Unfair.
QOTD: I am wearing a maxi dress I bought back during the March heatwave and never got to wear before. Except I realized I don't have any Paris-appropriate shoes for it. So I felt a little ashamed of my Chacos all day.
My hounding H last night about going to an ice cream shop worked. I woke up in bed to him looking through Groupon deals on his phone. We are going to an ice place in Southport and then will explore the neighborhood.
Then come home and take cold showers and relax! It's 90+ outside.
QOTD: A grey racerback tank with rainbow stripes. And some tan shorts. Ratty pair of Tom's shoes since my blisters are still causing problems.
