I don't want to jinx it, so I'm burying this here-- we just got some encouraging news on the housing front, so I'm making an appointment to get my iud out in July!!!! Come on, baby Arya! <)
Yay!
If you name a baby after GOT before the entire storyline is revealed I will disown you, though. Lol.
Another insurance woe: I may have an inguinal hernia. I've been in a huge amount of pain in my lower left quadrant since Friday. I probably lifted something wrong at work.
I'm laying on my couch crying. I can't cross my leg. If I stand up straight it hurts.
I have a really high pain threshold and I'm crying.

We got a ton of rain last night and the older part of my house now smells like dirt. I'm guessing that the water stirred things up under the pier-and-beam foundation. Time to break out the candles.

We had such a great night last night. Had leftovers for dinner and then a friend came over and we sat outside. It was warm out, but there was such a nice breeze it felt amazing. DD was practicing her cartwheels and we thought she dislocated her elbow. She went to do one and we heard this big pop and she fell to the ground and started crying. I freaked out but thankfully whatever it was fixed itself and she ended up being ok.
I'm at a low today and stuff is just piling up which is making me feel worse.
-A corporate request I was responsible for feel through. It wasn't my fault and out of my hands but I feel so disappointed about it. Basically, I was asked to invite a state senator to our company and his staff person said he's too busy and can't.
-I have 19 hours left of sick leave for the remainder of the year. I hate how limited the pto is and feel so cheated out by it. I also think that they only pay 4 weeks medical leave which I thought it was 6 weeks. I want to take 12 weeks off for mat leave and I'm sure we can swing it but it still sucks.
-I don't know if it's worth looking for a new job now either or do I wait after the baby is born and I stay a while after I return from maternity leave.
We had dinner with DH's friends/running club and one of his coaches ordered soda+cran. I was like "gurrrrrrrrrrrl. Really?!" because they've been having TTTC/IVF issues. But I obv couldn't say ANYthing at the dinner table. I was poking DH in the ribs like "hey. HEYYYYYYYYYYY. She's KTFU" and he's like "how can you tell!??" because she's rail thin and a marathoner. I was like "please. No one orders soda+cran if they are at a drinking function AND TTC!"
She's FB msg'd him last night to say she's 9 weeks. <) I cannot wait for a baby shower. And a new baby. MMMMMMM.... squishy newborn.
I have no motivation again today. It was so nice staying home yesterday. I just want to stay home forever! I sure wish we would win the lottery so I can stay home forever! Oh, wait, one would actually have to play the lottery in order to win. Damn. I knew there was a catch.
I just pinched a nerve in my neck by stretching weird while I was yawning. WTF.
I am in pain if I move. This work day is not off to a good start.
I pinched a nerve last week. I'm still on Celebrex, which is amusing me to no end because it's an old-lady arthritis drug. H keeps needling me about it. "Why aren't you doing tai chi on the beach like the lady in the commercial? Shouldn't you be swimming dreamily across a lake with grey hair?"
LOL
I have Flexeril at home but that doesn't help me since I'm at work.
I've got a crush on my kids pediatrician. He's old enough to have a kid starting college & not traditionally hot or anything near it... He is just so gentle, friendly and good at what he does and it is quite endearing. My kid only weighs 13lbs 4 oz and we were all guessing he weighed 15 lbs. Still just a little guy I guess.

I am so freaking excited!!
One of my all time favorite bands (nickel creek) is playing here tonight, and I can't afford to go, so on a whim I posted a cl ad saying id take the ticket if anyone just couldn't go, so it wouldn't go to waste.
A guy just offered me a ticket in the third row. YES!! And the opening band is great, too!!
I've never been to a concert alone before, but fuck it. This is incredible!!

DH just informed me he's leaving for a trip tomorrow until late Sunday, possibly Monday. I thought he was leaving Thursday night so I'm a bit annoyed. He's driving (truck and trailer) from RI to TN and he's now doing it alone, so I get he wants the extra time so he can sleep, but I've been planning my week around having him for an extra night. We've also been in a really good place lately and I'm just being needy and want him around. Blah!

My daughter was sick for a few days last week and had to miss daycare, so I got my Mother's Day gift from her yesterday. I love how thoughtful her daycare is!
It's a container of "satin hands" and Vanilla sugar scrub, a homemade seashell candle, a bath bomb, an eye mask, a little poem with her handprints, and the "I love you this much" accordian.
I am pumped today! I just found out that my request to change my work schedule to 7-2:30 was approved. Totally psyched! This means that during the summer I will be home by 3ish and will get to enjoy more time with the kiddos rather than rushing home and scrambling through dinner, bath, bed. And even during the school year we will be home BEFORE 4. Yippee!
Tonight is DD's first recital stage rehearsal of the season and then I'm taking her to go get pedicures together.
I think Whole30 is actually working! I feel great and a lot of my symptoms ( GI and others) are disappearing. woot!
so excited for you! !! I how to do something similar when M is in school next year. Hope they approve. ..
