I was supposed to go out to lunch with ex-bff and DS but he's sick so it's an inside day for us. He's not too sick to be bouncing off the walls and not listening though. I'm trying to think of a fun activity to keep him busy for a while. I'm still not moving around too well. I wish he liked craft projects. It would make it easier. Maybe I can make dough for him to play with and give him cookie cutters.
Any other ideas would be appreciated.
Can he play outside at home? I have no idea what weather is where you are, but if he is energetic enough to be hyper inside, I'd think he should be ok to play outside without other kids.
It's chilly here but would be okay to go outside normally, but he has to stay seconds from the bathroom so he won't need a pants person.

Ah, that kind of sick. What about a new Lego set or something since he's not into crafts?
I've been coming down with something for the past few days. Taking Mucinex has really helped with the symptoms, but yesterday morning I could barely keep my eyes open. So I stayed home from work and dozed on the couch all day. I went to bed super early last night and I feel much much better. There's something to be said for staying home from work in order to recuperate more quickly.

Going to be a good day. Woke up with A at 7, drank my coffee and played for a while. Then we had breakfast and woke up H. I went and got a manicure, and once she wakes up from her nap we are dropping her off at the ILs and going shopping/out to dinner!

I ran my first 10k today. My goal was to finish in under an hour. I finished in one hour and 28 seconds. I am ridiculously annoyed I didn't make it. Although... the course was actually 6.31 miles instead of 6.2 so I'm trying to convince myself to call it good.

@ygmg, that's super scary. I'm glad Theo is okay!
So far today I've gone to my acupuncture appointment, done two loads of laundry, did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, made a banana bread, made a set of post partum padsicles, made up a bottle of baby butt spray to be used with my cloth wipes, organized the changing area of the baby's room, and answered about a million texts about "is the baby here yet?"
We're going to the inlaws for dinner tonight and then stopping by a friend's house after. That is, provided I'm not in labour.
3 parties this weekend. Last night bachelorette party (with strippers, it was both jaw dropping and entertaining), school auction today, wedding tomorrow.

I worked out with my trainer this morning and am now on my way to a 1st bday party. If I get home in time, I'm going to go reserve a park for my son's birthday party.

This morning we went to breakfast with the Easter Bunny and its corresponding egg hunt. It was in my hometown and I again realized I'm much happier to have moved out of town.
Tonight I'm doing the Cosmic "Run" with a bunch of coworkers. I haven't run since January, so it'll be more like the Cosmic fast walk. DD is sleeping over at my parents because I have the run and DH is working, so I'm excited for sleeping in and going to workout in the morning before collecting her.
I went to my first Overeaters Anonymous meeting this morning- I think it's really going to help my compulsive overeating. I already have a sponsor who I'll speak to daily. I was a little taken aback that she wasn't too fond of me doing Weight Watchers but she said it's mainly because they don't limit sugar and that seems to be a trigger for a lot of people. It makes sense, so I'm going to pay more attention to ingredient lists but still track points.
My h fucked up our taxes from 2012, so they never got sent in, and apparently lost all of our forms because he's incapable of putting things back where they belong, soooo I get to tear the house apart looking for fucking tax papers so that I can redo our 2012 taxes.
I really don't understand the point of trolling a message board. Why create multiple user names and continue to start the same 2 or 3 threads? I can sort of understand catfishing as a way of entertaining yourself, but just posting stupid things that people don't really respond to, and then posting them again a few weeks later? What's the appeal?

I am proud of myself for working on my road rage. I have made great strides in recent months but know better than to share because it's such dickish behavior in the first place. I cannot fathom kudos for slightly less assholish behavior.
We went out last night and it was terrible. I tried to put myself out more and make friends but everyone keeps turning out to be crazy and/or ignorant. I'm so tired of being around people like this. I want to move.
This is sort of where I'm at, and it makes me sad.
But the multiple user names is what confuses me. And posting the same threads repeatedly on many different message boards. It feels like spam rather than a person, but not sure to what end..
I had to go see my ex because he found a box of my books in the garage. Of course I'm on my period and super emotional, so while I managed breezy and "totes NBD!" during our 5 minute interaction, I am now on the verge of tears.
But not because I miss him. Because I want to scream at myself WHY DID YOU WASTE ALMOST 6 YEARS OF YOUR PRECIOUS LIFE ON THIS PERSON??!!
What was I thinking???
At least I got my cooling racks back in time to make lemon blueberry mini bundt cakes today.
Too much going on this weekend and I am CRANKY about it. Went out first thing to get a gift for DD's friend's 11am birthday party. Went to the party, came home, cleaned, went food shopping, going to a Girl Scout dinner at 5.
No chance to relax. This time of year is rough. There is always something going on.

The a cappella group I sing with just released on our dropbox the audio files from the December concernt. I had a solo in the concert and keep listening to it to ferret out my mistakes. This makes me want to get back in to voice lessons. That is all.
I had such a good day. Everyone slept pass 7. Then I went to barre. The. jack's soccer game. Then Leo took a four hour nap.....and woke up with a temp. Wah wah
He has a cough so now I am watching him like a hawk. He is eating and in decent spirits so hopefully it is just a quick virus.
