We got 4-5 inches of snow at home yesterday. I drove 30 miles into work this morning and there is nothing.
I'm reading an article that is using lots of stats from the under 30 group, and I have to keep reminding myself that I'm no longer included in that group, lol.
Scandal randoms- I love all of Olivia's clothes, but her coats are to.die.for. I love that there is a recurring storyline throughout the season, and individual storylines within each episode. I still hate how often she's on the verge of tears. Buck up, buttercup!
I still have a cough that will not stop. I feel like my sinuses want to drain and that there is junk in my lungs. This needs to resolve itself because it's annoying.
We are to get more snow tonight. And I guess there are rumors of a northeaster this weekend with a ton of heavy snow. We will see. I'm ready for spring.
Bernadine we're just outside of DC in MD and all we had was rain yesterday.
It snowed all day where I was- about 30 miles NW of Baltimore. I called into a meeting yesterday and they said it was only raining at work. Crazy! And now we have another winter storm warning for tomorrow morning- an ice storm.
We're supposed to get 10 inches of snow tomorrow, then even more than that on Saturday. DS's Birthday party is Sunday He is only turning 3 and won't know the difference if we have to postpone it but I will be sad because I know that means most people just won't come.

Snow day today!!
My husband has decided to go back to school to get his Bachelors. He got his Associates 10 years ago, then just stopped going to his classes and never got his BS. I am excited for him, but have no idea how we will pay for this. Fun times!
When I put DS down after his first wake up last night, he writhed around in pain, shaking his head, arching his back, farting, etc. So I picked him up, and he slept on my chest until he was ready to eat around 4 am. I hope he outgrows this gas thing.
I love snow days as much as the next teacher, but I'm ready for my students to be back on a normal schedule! We keep pushing back the 100th day of school and at this point it looks like it's going to fall on the same day as an ice storm. I'll be really disappointed if it's a 2hr delay and only half my kids show up.
Speaking of delays, last time we had a 2hr delay. Today they call for a 90min delay. I'm guessing parents are going to be super confused and bring their kids at all different times. Why change it??
And I think I'm going to have to write my letter outing my pregnancy to parents soon, because at almost 13 weeks this bump is not messing around. I look like I did at 18/19 weeks with Oliver : / It's only a matter of time before one of my filter-less kindergartner kids yells "Why is your stomach getting so fat?!"
I'm pissed off about the coming storm. My week is too busy for this shit! I see my doctor an hour away tomorrow for nerve block and trigger point injections and need them done. I'm ouching. Thursday H has an appointment 2 hours away regarding further surgery due to his femur break. I don't want to cancel my appointments due to snow, yet I'm terrified by driving in it. Is it the weekend yet?
I'm annoyed that a girl in another dept read a report wrong, and went up the chain to get something changed (that's right in the first place). We all make mistakes, and that's fine. But... maybe you should ask me about it since a)it directly affects my dept (and there's only 2 of us in this dept) and b)I created the report! Now I'm spending my morning trying to convince 20 other people that everything is fine, she just made a mistake - and to PLEASE not change anything as it'll mess up our inventory numbers.
Not having my laptop last night was actually kind of nice. I curled up in the recliner with some hot tea, the dog, and a book. I slept SO much better than I do when I'm on the pc before bed.
I have a Kindle Fire but have stopped carrying it since I'm trying to carry a lighter purse. I've been reading with the kindle app on my phone instead, which I know is bad for my eyes. So H got me a Paperwhite! I am more excited about this than I should be.
I have a cold and feel like crap. I was tempted to call out so I could keep sleeping.
Every morning my boss and I have the same interaction. She walks in the office, sees me, and immediately says: What's wrong? Are you ok? And my response is always: yes. We have had closed door conversations about how she can stop constantly asking me if I am ok. I AM ok. I just don't look like this: when I am concentrating/ when I'm in my office.
This morning she walked in and said: YOU LOOK HAPPY TODAY! and started applauding.
omg please leave me alone. I am not *happy* today. I'm not giddy. I'm normal-- homeostasis-- just sitting at my fucking desk working. PLEASE stop commenting on my mood. If I was even a *bit* happier than usual this morning, which I'm not, you have now ruined that b/c you've annoyed me to my capacity.

Does he respond to gas drops/simethicone? That worked wonders for Andy. Also, switching formula (not sure if yours is FF or BF)
It really irritates me when people will stand at my desk, stare at my breakfast/lunch and comment on what I am eating. For instance R just came by and said "yikes that is a lot of yogurt, should you be eating that much?"
WTF?! Dude, it is one serving of lowfat yogurt just because it isn't in a yogurt cup doesn't mean it is too much, screw off!
Yesterday I had a salad, it was a lot of lettuce with tomato, cucumber and red onion. A woman who works across from me said "WOW that is A LOT of salad, I can't believe you can eat all of that."
One of my good friends from high school is now engaged to his long time boyfriend. Then this morning I saw on FB that another friend of ours got engaged last night. Two other good friends are pregnant and due in September. I don't have enough space for all this happiness, I feel like I'm going to explode!

That is so annoying. I feel your pain. It's like when an extrovert can't understand an introvert's silence and just assume that something is wrong. Why does something have to be wrong just because someone doesn't feel like talking?!?!
I am tired of the rat race. Full day of work yesterday topped with a night of class. I didn't see my kids at all. Leo screamed when I dropped him off this morning no doubt because he thinks I am a worthless mom who is never around.

We max out on the drops, but he had his frenulum clipped last week, and supposedly that is supposed to help. Poor guy, gas pains suck!
