-last night I totally exercised bc I didn't have enough calories on MFP for dinner LOL
-I'm going on vacation in a little over a week and I can't fucking wait
-I ordered some new bathing suits for said vacation, not that I need them. I rationalized it by ordering on sale.
-with all the stay at home wife debating I realized that I am kind of ashamed of the fact that I wouldn't mind staying at home. But after going to school for 8 years, I would feel bad not contributing to paying off my hefty loans.
I'm reading (listening to) Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, and thinking it's weird that the fictionalized Thomas Cromwell is getting me all hot and bothered.
Related to the above, my hot and bothered self did not get to have sex last night because it was 89 degrees in our house when we went to bed - too hot for anyone to touch anyone else. Sad sad sad.
Oh good.. I was hoping there would be one of these! Last night, I fed J at 10. Then H held her for a couple of hours while he played video games. He put her in her RnP at 12. She slept until 6:30! He said she did stir a little a couple of times, and he had to give her her paci, so I don't know if she would have gone all night w/o eating if she had been sleeping in her crib, but whatever. I'm calling it STTN. I don't expect it to be a regular thing yet, but at least we know she CAN do it. Oh, and when she woke up this morning, she woke up happy, not crying for a bottle. Go, girl!
It counts! I have to go in put the paci back in for K too. I love babies in the morning and the big smiles. It helps that K is usually awake for a few minutes or so before I go in to get her so she is probably thinking "Hey, that nice lady DID come back!" .
I already AW'd this in the OOTD post, but I'll do it here too - I ordered pants a size down from what I'm currently waiting b/c they were cheap and I knew I'd need them eventually. They arrived yesterday and they already fit, yay! I really can't remember the last time I wore single digit size pants.
I have next Monday off, so it's a nice 4 day weekend for me (I don't work on Fridays) and a 3 day week next week and then a whole week off. I've pretty much already checked out, lol.
I need a new bra. The one I wear most of the time is doing a weird thing where the top of the cup is kind of curling outward so you can see it through most of my shirts and it's annoying.
I bought DS a sleeveless tank shirt which I swore I'd never do b/c I think they look trashy. But he loves the show Call of the Wildman, which features the ever-classy "Turtleman." So I saw this sleeveless shirt with a turtle on it on sale and got it for him. His eyes got all wide and he said "Just like Turtleman? Thank you so much, Mommy!" Live action! <-- Turtleman's catchphrase, which DS delivers complete with southern accent.

The one position at my job that I would love to have opened up this week! Problem: the salary listed is 5k less than what I make now. I applied, hoping I can convince them to at least meet me 1/2 way. I'm just so unhappy in my current position.
I'm making my first trip of the season to the beach this weekend sans the little one because I am certain he is going to hate the beach and I don't want to up and leave because he is whiny. I am taking daughter though
I want to move. My community has become nothing but old, bored, whiners who call and complain about everything. Our neighbors and I do things on occasion that is *allowed* but will piss them off
I'm buried in work and have no motivation today
H got a morning bj from me this morning (or should this go in flameful? Ah who cares LOL)

Where are you going on vacation?
- They are turning the mall 5 minutes from my house into a "destination" mall, like KOP or Cherry Hill. They haven't released all the names of the new stores coming in, but there will be a sephora, teavana and michael kors. I'm so excited!
- I have horrible cramps and I just want to eat everything and go to sleep.
- I'm going to a baseball game tonight (trenton thunder, not phils) and it's going to be soooo hot. At least here will be cheap cold beer (yay thirsty thursday!).

Good luck! I applied for a position that I've been wanting opened up at a different company. I applied and am quite nervous about it. I hope it all works out for you!
DH came home from his basketball game last night in a pissy mood because they lost.
He plays on 3 different softball teams and a basketball team and he really beats himself up if he does not play well.
Luckily he is pretty athletic and does well, but I wish he had a better attitude about his sports.
I want to say to him "your 30 dude, no reason to beat yourself up, it's not like there are scouts watching you or something" but I feel like that is just mean.
I have not lost a single pound. I've cut out alcohol. I've cut out fast food. I'm staying at 1200 calories a day, on most days -- and when I do go over, it's not by very much. I'm exercising. Not every day but every other. And I have not lost a single, solitary pound. I am so, so, so frustrated.
Thor has elected not to attend the Mermaid Parade this weekend, and I'm peeved. I will have fun regardless. I just don't understand why he wouldn't want to go. It's a blast. We have a ride. I will be in a tiny costume. What's not to love?!
Searching for a new place to live is draining and not fun at all. It also doesn't help that I feel like I'm the only one doing it. I mean, I AM the only one doing it. Thor doesn't have the internet at his place, and I get that it's annoying to look for apartments/houses on your phone. But still. A little help would be nice.
Our department is moving offices today (within the same building) and it's chaos here. Luckily, they have not disconnected me yet, but it is going to happen soon.
We are supposed to hear back about our offer on a house today. If he doesn't accept, we will be staying with my mom after we close on our current house until we find something. I am really starting to feel anxious about the whole situation.
My random is that Jake hasn't said Happy Birthday to me yet today. I don't expect a BIG THING for my birthday at all but it gets tiring to have to remind him every year I even talked about it last night (where I wanted to go to dinner tomorrow) so I thought he might remember. Nope. And I feel weird being like IT'S MY BIRTHDAY, even with him.
So I'm peeved but don't know what to do about it b/c no matter WHAT I do I end up seeming and feeling like a loser.
Also I'm REALLY pissed that people at work keep treating me like I haven't been gone. In terms of asking about things as if I know them then getting annoyed when I don't. Or asking me to do things with only PIECES of information, even when I say "well I don't know xyz what happened, fill me in." Then getting irritated that I don't know things. I WAS GONE, assholes! Three weeks of feeling completely incompetent AND shat on are really getting to me.
I went to a fundraiser on the weekend for the special olympics that involved playing 6 different sports and each team had a "special athlete". Our athlete was adorable. She is 19 and has downs and I was so impressed with the guys on our team for including her so much in almost every play. I was also astonished at some of the other teams. A huge guy chased her down and tagged her out playing flag football and other guys were pretty much playing keep away from her. Seriously, just let her score a touchdown assholes. I almost asked one guy if he would like to steal candy from my baby once the game was over, if that would make him feel big too. Oh, and some guy fucking hammered her in the chest with the ball playing soccer baseball. It was supposed to be a fun event, and all these guys were so completitive. My H almost got into a fight playing basketball too. People suck.

It is really, really pissing me off that Nick is nonstop advertising the Katy Perry concert on their network. I don't really think her lyrics are all that kid friendly, and yet she's all KITTIES! BUBBLES! COTTON CANDY! BRIGHT COLORS! PEPPERMINT BOOBIES!
The older kid is driving me nuts. The whiiiiiiiining is out of control. Iam making a behavior chart for him today for a reward for doing something we ask without whining or repeat asking for an alternative. I know he is pushing us because of Leo. But I want to keep him in daycare ad much as possible because it just so peaceful with just Leo and I lol.
I wish Leo would stay this nice peaceful baby forever. I just know anyday now he is going to "wake up." he is such a dreamboat right now.
I love my maternity leave. Jack goes to daycare part of the day, my house is spotless, I complete all of these projects, I get to stare at my beautiful baby all day and life is just not very stressful. Iam dreading reality when I go back to balancing a career and two children.
I had to get up at 3:45 this morning because H needed to be at work super early. I also woke up twice in the middle of the night and had trouble falling back asleep both times. I have a feeling this is not going to be a good day.
I ruptured my eardrum last Thursday and it's taking forever to heal and it's driving me nuts. My teeth hurt from this, I worry my antibiotics are not working.
I've been talking to my mom and she sounds chipper/happy. This isn't new....her moods go up and down depending on how busy she is. She's got stuff planned and we are working on her visiting the local senior center who is hosting a new membership meeting next week. My brother also talked to her as well. Not the final solution but a good step.
While I love my job anytime someone leaves and it's noted that they are getting a huge pay increase I get jealous.
M woke me up this morning with a huge hug complete with "MOMMEEEEE, I MISSED you yesterday." She's so sweet. In a few weeks she's going to start ballet lessons and I'm super excited to watch her in her class.
