We have a huge event at work tonight so I get to go in late as it might be a long day. Traditionally I have stayed through the event but not really done much once it starts. On Friday my boss said I'm welcome to leave whenever I want since all my work for the event is the advance prep.
I might end up leaving once it gets going. I feel guilty, but my boss is right - there isn't any need for me to be there so why stay late for no reason?
Tomorrow is Oct 1st and it's going to be almost 80. Looking ahead, they are predicting humid and mid 80's by the weekend....I want fall weather already!!! I'm over the heat. Why don't the seasons change like they're supposed to anymore??
We had the best weekend. A was so amazing on the plane, didn't make a peep, flirted with everyone. So good. She was such a trooper meeting so much family. Met 2 great grandmothers. Went to her first pumpkin patch/apple orchard. And all with a cold. She is seriously the best baby. I'm so lucky.

I'm seriously bummed about this
Today is the only semi-cool day this week. All mid 80s the rest of the week. I want to wear my boots dammit!!
This morning I got to watch the boys "cawkah" with Jake (that's color, for those who don't speak MarcnGabe-ese), and it was so precious. Jake is taking them to their 18m appt today so we had an easy fun morning.
I can't believe they're a year and a half They are more like kids than babies now.

I am going to AW and tell you about my diamond shoes all at once. Today is my birthday (YAY!) and everyone is being so nice to me and asking me what I want (DH and my family). Really I just want to be not pregnant and uncomfortable anymore and I am having a hard time mustering up any enthusiasm for anything. I am trying so hard not to be a grouch but it isn't working. On a happy note my mom and grandma are driving an hour to take me out to lunch so I can't be mad about that.
TMI I had sex last night in an attempt to get this baby out of me. It was quite possibly one of the most uncomfortable experiences ever.
K stood up all by himself last night without any help. He gets on his hands and feet with his butt in the air, then pushes off the floor with his hands. Last night he finally got enough momentum and balance to get all the way up and stay standing for a few seconds quite a few times.
I need a vacation. A long one. Not just a day here and a day there.
It has been raining for three days and I am loving it! K might be getting me the chicken purse to hold extra bird toys, combs, ect in.
I wish I knew how to stay motivated to work out. I even pay fucking money for a gym, but I would still just rather eat carbs, ramen, delicious fondue, and just really tasty stuff than exercise. I am amazed at people who work out consistently and wish I had that kind of will power.
I have some sort of plague. Started as runny nose last night, has morphed into death warmed over, complete with feeling of glass in my throat, painful coughs, runny nose and puking.
And I can't just take the day off because I am so slammed, so I am working from home trying to focus.
I need to run errands, get laundry done, maybe clean the house, and go to the gym. Somewhere in there, DH and I are going for a drive to see the aspen leaves and I'm having dinner with a friend. I can't decide in what order I want to get my stuff done.
My dog and I were playing last night and I scared her. She snapped at me and accidentally cut my gum above my front teeth (weird spot, I know). I could tell she felt really bad. It's not terrible, but I'm a little nervous to see how eating and drinking goes today.
Toledo, ride that strength!!! I found when I was getting healthier/etc I focused on the strength (how I felt, not like bulking up or lifting heavier weights or anything) and the rest naturally followed. Even if there were plateau times in weight, the strength-feeling carried me through. Especially wrt yoga stuff and running.
My random is the boys have finally started gaining like toddlers and not infants. It's really really nice to see that weight percentile number go down, while the height percentile goes up. However, now they have very different stats and it's weird to have to separate them. They were close enough before that I could group them together. Marc is an inch taller and a pound heavier.

I'm doing dishes and I have a lot of them to do. I wish I had a dishwasher.
I'm ready for Christmas season. Once Christmas comes and goes, I'll be over it. I'm thinking about emptying out my sunroom and taking down the curtains and putting a tree out there. I miss having a tree.
I didn't realize that Cheri Johnson on Punky Brewster turned out to be Maxine on Family Matters. bonquiqui
My dog has terrible gas. Omg. She's sitting next to me, with her ass cannon pointing at me.
I want to cry at work today. My group is being dicked around and treated like crap, and I'm sick of it. We just got merged with another business and I feel like all of the effort we have put in for the last year has been pointless. Of course we would have done the work anyway, but we put up with such bullshit requests and went above and beyond, and it seems unappreciated.

I just booked a business trip for the end of the month. I get to fly by myself, stay in a hotel, and have interesting conversations with grown-ups for 36 hours, then come home and take my kids trick-or-treating. Yay!
DD1 forgot her lunch today. I have to leave to go drop it off in a few minutes.
DH is on a business trip currently, getting back later today. It's so quiet when he's not here, and I get to catch up on my favorite TV shows (like Once Upon a Time) without him grousing about it.

Omg @beagle.. I love them!!
So.. i dunno if anyone remembers me writing about our neighbor (who is a renter), he is a hoarder,doesn't cut his grass, doesn't take care of his dogs, dogs howl all throughout the night.. but apparently the week I was out of town a police officer came by the guys house and he wasn't home (surprise surprise) my husband was there and asked what was going on.. the neighbor has an eviction notice, a notice from animal control, and child support. I saw him today when pulling out for work.. first time in 3 weeks. His dog saw me in the window yesterday when I was doing some yard work and started whimpering at me.. I felt terrible, ugh. I hope something happens SOON. Obviously people in our neighborhood are trying to get him out.

DD turns 5 today, where did my baby go. We had 45 people at our house yesterday for a party and I am exhausted today. It was such a good day and then DH was a twat last night and I went to bed angry.
We got DD the fish for her gift. We went to the store the other day and she said we had to look at them. She loved them all and kept asking if she could get one. She was one happy girl this morning when she would her gift on the kitchen table. How awesome that I now have one more thing to clean.
My baby will not sleep more than 10 minutes anywhere else but on my body. She slept through the night last night (except for waking up to eat and burp, of course) as long as I was holding her. I am so afraid I am going to smother her or something in my bed.
Too bad it isn't as delicious as I want it to be. Back to the drawing board. There's an apple pie recipe in my Margaret Rudkin Pepperidge Farm Cookbook, that may be my next try.
