Also my nursing boobs are droopy like whoa. They are dangerously close to the nipple point down instead of up. It saddens me and I cringe everytime I pull one of those bad boys out. Waaaah are they going to stay this droopy? I am normally small chested so I am not used to this girth. Poor girls I think they are giving up.
I woke up way late today but still wanted to go for a run since it's actually cool today, so I did. I didn't have time to dry and straighten my hair, so I just pulled it back in a bun and called it good. I did pair it with a kick-ass outfit so that I don't feel like the half put-together person I really am. So of course today I've gotten a ton of compliments on my hair. Why the heck do I spend any time on it every other day?!
I am.watching my nieces today so that means 4 kids total, ages 2-7. I think we will be hitting McD for lunch because they have an indoor play structure.
My mom went out of town last night ( that's why I have my nieces) and my 95 year old grandma who lives with her was freaking out last night because nobody would be around to make her coffee. She wants me to drag all 4 kids over there so she has something warm to drink with breakfast. I'll probably do it because I love her so much but fuck, I think she'll be okay without coffee for one morning. She also totally glared at me yesterday when I took 3 rolls of toilet paper from her bathroom. I showed her that she still had at least 10 rolls but she's worried that she'll run out.
You guys are in my HEAD! I had a dream that I had just had a baby and I was all impressed that my vag was not in bad shape and didn't hurt that much. Lol
I am irritated with my mom for being irritated with me. My mom's family is very close, with the exception of one of her brothers. I've only met him a few times, he never participates in family e-mails, etc. He has two daughters, and one has been in hospice and passed away yesterday. I never met her at all. I told my mom that I was sorry for him that he lost a daughter, but that I didn't feel a sense of personal loss over her death. Now she's being a little pissy to me because 'that's still your cousin.'
I sincerely wish the rest of my kid's two year molars would just come in already.
H has been going into work at 5 a.m., and therefore going to bed super early. I simultaneously wish he were around to help in the mornings and think it's easier without him.
I got a promotion yesterday. It's a really good job with much more responsibility and will actually put my degree to use. And I was happy for about 1.5 minutes before I started psyching myself out and telling myself that I'm too stupid and won't be able to handle it. And now I'm just nervous and stressed about it. Ugh. Why am I my own worst enemy?
- I have been working out and watching eating for several months and I see no results. My endurance is up, but that's it. Clothes aren't fitting better, weight isn't changing. This is bullshit!
- I am itching to hear something about a job, any job. I am looking at 3 weeks of 12 hour days and my boss is trying to schedule focus groups during my one week of vacation we take as a family this year. Fuck that noise. Also, he came down HARD on my coworker and I yesterday about something that is a non-issue. And apparently I am now manager to everyone in the office, but still sitting in the receptionist cube, while my coworker has a sweet setup.
- It's hot today (and yesterday) and the family and I are hitting a friend's pool tonight. SO excited.
- M's $100 Rx creams for his eczema are working. Hallelujah! Finally.
- I am trying to find out the details on afterschool care for L in the fall. I am going to have a fight on my hands, but I don't think MIL can handle it, nor do I want her to, if it means L sitting in front of a tv and eating junk 4 days a week.
House hunting is sucking the life out of me. We have put offers on two places. One the lady wouldn't budge on the price so we walked. We offered asking on the other which we absolutely loved and some woman came in and outbid us by $10k. We were at our max so we lost that one too. We have such a limited search area because we live in a HCOL and everything nice in our range is gone in a matter of days and we are only looking in our neighborhood for certain models.

alzi- I'm glad you are looking forward to your vacation!!!
I've got nothing today, it's fucking hot. The good news about this heat wave is that I will most likely loose weight because I don't feel like eating.
I do have one, I just received an email saying my name is being put in for consideration for the special project at work. I am going to be massively pissed if this doesn't work out.

Oh, also, there is a vendor coming in today who's last name is Megaffin. In my head I keep calling him Mega-Muffin, and I'm very concerned I'm actually going to call him that.

I can't wait to ask the guy tonight if he noticed my two different earrings last week.
My cornhole team won last night. Yay!
My sisters keep telling me they got me a bunch of presents that all go together for my birthday and I have no idea what it is!
I just got the nicest text from my youngest sister. She is probably the most thoughtful person I know. I love both of my sisters to death. I might take a bullet for them, for real.
I put on make up today for the first time in a few days. With the oil cleansing thing y'all got me into doing, I don't feel the need to wear make up as much. I put on the same amount I usually do, but I still feel like Tammy Faye Baker. Think I'm going to start wearing less make up!
The fiance is taking a Genetics class. This means: a) There is a box of fruit flies in my apartment, ew. b) That he is required to inspect EVERY SIX HOURS. WTF?
Next month the fiance AND his parents will be out of town for a weekend (in different places. Fiance will be at a bachelor party in Vegas, his folks will be at their cabin). I am so excited about the concept of three days with nobody to take care of :-). AND, its the weekend of my sister's Rib competition, so there is already scheduled fun involved!

1. I have a mental list of "fuck yous." For when I quit job number two in December.
2. I am so nervous about my resume and am praying to all of the gods I can think of that I'll be offered it and it will make an okay amount of money.
3. I feel a very renewed drive to succeed and work hard following this morning's calculations.
4. I've figured out a way to make my dream work in my timeline I think. DH might not like it, but right now, I really don't give a fuck about what he wants.
1. It's unbelievably hot right now. and steamy. and miserably. I'm impatiently counting down the hours until we leave for Europe. Just one more day!! 2. I'm seriously loving my job right now but there is one client that is seriously sucking the life out of me. 3. I think I want sushi for lunch. or ice cream
I overpaid my Amex card the last two months by 500. I dont pay a lot of attention to the bill/balance. But now I am super excited I didn't.
I think I am going to get some new Persol sunglasses that I have been coveting.
I am beyond ready for this weekend. I need a break from getting up at 5.
I love Person sunglasses!! I have no idea how you get up at 5 every day. If I have to get up that early for a flight or something I am toast by 3 p.m.!!
My weight hasn't changed in two years. I don't care, but I just find it really odd/funny. I am fitting into things I couldn't wear awhile ago and the dress I have is actually a medium in Michael Kors. I pulled out a workout shirt I never used to wear because it didn't fit well. It was too big and baggy- awesome.
I am going tonight to get measured for a bridesmaid dress for my friend's wedding. She chose purple chiffon. What did I ever do to her to deserve that?
This almost makes me glad that I've never been asked to be in anyone's wedding.
My boss is becoming INSUFFERABLE. He's been breathing down the back of our necks and trying to micromanage us since his deputy (our direct supervisor and an effective buffer between us and the boss) left two months ago. I am about to lose it.
We went to an outdoor wedding on Sunday and had a good time dancing on the stone patio. At one point DH looked at something on the ground and said, "someone lost her heel." I looked at it too and wondered if the person even knew she'd lost it (it was a half inch cap). Well today I'm wearing the same sandals I wore to the wedding and noticed a difference in the sounds the two shoes made. Turns out that heel we saw on Sunday lying on the stone patio was mine! oops.
I'm in Cordova today. my room faces the harbor and I'm watching Mom and Dad bald eagle hang out with their two half grown kids. The suns's semi out and it looks like it's going to be a beautiful morning.
I've been here since Tuesday afternoon. I accidentally left my makeup bag back in Anchorage, and it didn't really bother me. 20 years ago I would have freaked the fuck out. I already have lipstick, so I bought some brown eyeliner at the local grocery store (Elf brand) so I'm good until I fly home today.
I haven't lost any weight on MFP yet, but I'm good with that. It's only been a week, plus I haven't had a chance to go to Jazzercise yet. I'm feeling empowered though, and that's a good thing.

The sadness of getting AF is disappearing. I don´t know if I am coming to terms with not being PG or what.
My new apartment is amazing, but it feels like a hotel (the view, the fact that it isn´t our furniture, and that it´s the nicest apartment we have lived in)-
