Yesterday was my 19 year anniversary with my job, it was so exciting to log into the company PTO portal and see I have 200 hours vacation time. To go from 15 days last year to 25 now is a nice feeling. I just wish I had someplace to go.
Staycation?
Financially that's probably my only option so I better find some fun things to do (I live on Long Island, NYC is only 1 1/2 hours away by train so there's always that)
I cannot figure out ballet flats. They feel like torture devices on my feet. Does everyone feel this way and they walk around in pain or is there something wrong with me?
I went for a walk/run this morning. Came back and realized I'm out of shape and can't run. (Use to be able to run longer easier, before my heart issue came up) Baby steps again. First 50 gone, now the second 50. I have so much to do today, but I would rather go back to bed.
I am debating if I want to take tonight off but I will have to work Wednesday instead. I would love to stay in pj's all day and watch my dvr while DH is gone today

I just woke up. I really am itching to go back to work, but when I realize I'll have to wake up before 9am I think not so much.
My coworkers have been making dinner for us, but it is back to reality on that front. I'm going to plan a few meals and figure out dinner for tonight. I think I'll just make some pasta sauce and cook up spaghetti we have. Our groceries are really at the bare minimum with DH/DD either eating out/my parents/friends and then with my awesome coworkers sending meals since I've been home. It is my first day driving too, so a trip to the store will be a good quick practice.
I also am picking up DD from daycare and we'll hang out, maybe go to the park, until DH gets home.

I keep trying flats, they keep torturing my feet. So, it's not just you. Or we both have the worst luck in choosing flats?

I asked somewhere else and everyone said they order half a size up but they don't have a whole lot in half size up from my normal size and a whole size up feels big. then people sometimes put in arch supports or gel inserts for the heel.
I think my theory is confirmed. These are torture devices if you have to buy all these extras to make them wearable.
I took DD and DS2 out to dinner last night while hubs and DS1 were at the patriots game. The waitress we had literally overshared her life just as she dropped our food. I sat there for a good ten minutes while she told us that her dad is cape Verdean but she is super white. So her dad's family never accepted her bc they didn't believe he was the father. She then showed me a picture of him. She then said that he's been in and out of jail. She has seven siblings her mom has been married 4 times and she is going back to school to be an accountant. Her grandparents are her god parents bc her fathers brother and cousin never showed up to her christening bc her cousin was hungover and her father's brother was in jail for getting in a bar fight. She used to work for friendlys. Went to such and such high school. Wants to have a baby before she is 30 and needs to save to buy a new car.
I was like "I just wanna eat my chicken". After she left DD (who is 7) is like "Mom, whats a bar fight?"
I was a back spot for about 30 minutes yesterday at cheer camp and I'm sore! I can't imagine how my girls feel.
I just realized that DH is going to be out for both of my days off this week. Thai greatly expands the possibilities of things to do! Ie going back to sleep once lucys at school
We did exactly nothing this weekend, just as we planned...but now I feel all anxious about the stuff I should have gotten done around the house. Blerg!

Pearl Jam was amazing. Like, seriously, amazing. It was 3 hours of just Pearl Jam. It might have taken 15 years to see them, but I'm so glad I was able to now.
Standing for almost 5 hours on Friday and running errands on Saturday while the girls were gone, was probably not the smartest idea before running a half marathon, but I did it.
