2. I can't sign in using the proboards app for some reason. It says either my password is wrong, which it isn't and I even changed it or an administrator blocked me which makes no sense either as I am currently posting.
3. Wawa's vanilla chai tea sucks.
4. I have no idea how people are staying up so late to watch the Olympic coverage, I tried last night and passed out at 10:30.
1. My BIL was supposed to babysit the piano tuner today at the ILs house. Dude shows up at 8am so I'm frantic to get dressed. BIL strolls through the kitchen a good hour and half after the dude showed up. Thanks a lot. 2. Dish network is glitchy with the local channels therefore it makes me ragey to watch the olympics on NBC 3. Our occupancy permit on the house is good at 3pm. We're going to get some furniture/tv today. I'm kind of hoping we'll sleep in the new house tonight but I'm not sure that will happen.

Our Finance Manager/Accountant didn't come to work - it's the end of our fiscal year today.......I don't think this is going to go over very well with our Board of Directors!
Yesterday H and I had another giant harvest from our veggie garden but and this afternoon I will be baking more zucchini bread and making pickles.
We bought season tickets for UConn football- I freaking LOVE tailgating and football in the Fall
1. I'm really annoyed with NBC's Olympics coverage. They're ruining it for me.
2. My dad was cutting the weeds in the driveway last night with the weedwacker and decided to pass it behind his back to avoid tripping on the cord. Except he kept his hand on the power button. Yup, he tore up his ankle pretty good. AND he does not handle medical problems well at all so what should have been stitches and a tetanus shot turned into an EKG and lots of attention when he actually SAW his leg and passed out cold.
1.) I finally tried a Bolthouse farms drink and was kind of meh - maybe I didn't try the right kind. 2.) I went to the gym last night and the A/C was broken, I did not work out. 3.) We have an internal meeting this morning that is being run by the most long-winded dude here, I can't wait.
1. I have what feels like senioritis now that I gave my notice. I am trying to giveashit but it's hard.
2. I cannot wait until Sat. Mumford. All day music festival.
3. No idea what to wear Sat. because I am old and my casual clothes suck.
4. I got an email from one of the women I interviewed with for new job yesterday. She was writing to tell me how excited she is I am joining them and offering help with any of the transition. Further solidified that I made the right call.
5. I am so pleased with myself for negotiating salary. I am typically non-confrontational and everyone around me (IRL) is so passive and was telling me to just take it as is. But I said I had expected to come in at $X for this position and asked if that was feasible... and it is. So now with that and the potential bonus, I just got myself an additional 4%+ that I would have missed out on otherwise. woot!
DH and I decided to have a date night at my favorite restaurant last night and it was SO good. Seriously the best meal I've had in a long time. I love food.
It's dark and rainy here and I just want to go home and lay in bed.
Yesterday on the way home from work, Hotel California came on the radio and I sang it really loud in my car and the baby was moving around the whole time. I just pretended she was going crazy because she liked it. It was kinda neat.
I can't wait to have a cherry coke with my lunch today.
1. I'm lazy about charting or caring, so H and I just decided to have sex every day at least once for the next three weeks. lol.
We are doing this too because I cannot remember to temp in the mornings and my cycle is a little weird. But we missed last night! And now I'm feeling like we blew it and our plan is crazy. But I really don't feel like putting any effort into actually doing things the "right" way.
We are too old for like 15 days of straight sex. The other day I tried to convince him to just do it while I fell asleep. Pretty sexy stuff.

This morning I read that Peter Jackson is using appendix and other Tolkien material to expand The Hobbit into 3 movies, and I squeeeeeeed like a teenage girlie. LoL At least I know it's nerdy and embarrassing.

KHC has been taking showers every morning and I keep buying him cool soap and shampoo and towels in order to encourage this and keep it awesome for him. I've met way too many little boys who smell. 3. I can't get motivated this morning, at all.
I just got an app on my phone called My Days that calculates it all. It's pretty awesome and helpful.
1. I hate that I had a perfect, always on time 28 day cycle and the month I start TTC, it gets all jacked up. It's so fucking weird and just my luck. My period was a week early last month, and I'm late this month. I'm going to take a pg test, but I'm pretty sure I'm not pregnant and that my cycle is just effed to hell. I know nobody is reading this anymore, lol.
2.My son's speech is taking off like never before. I am sooo happy. He's been pretty badly speech delayed but he seems to be really catching up. We are starting to have full conversations now! omg!

I am so sick of this bitch on fb. She thinks she is a motivational speaker, but clearly is not. I think it's time to defriend or hide.
Every day there are excuses made by people. They are too busy, they don't have time, they need to do "this" before doing "that", they don't know how to,I'm too old, I'm too heavy, I'm to thin, I'm too weak, I have this physical issue or that, I need my sleep or simply they just can't. There are 24 hours in a day, if you want something you find the time. Balance and budget your time. No one is ever "too" anything... There are so many out there that are worse off, that manage. It may not be ideal but they get the job done. If you don't know how, the only way you will ever know how is to DO IT. One doesn't need 8 hours of sleep to survive, that's a mind set, like having caffeine or "I'm addicted" to this and that... bull. You can sleep all you want when you are dead. You can convince yourself of anything... but none of these are justifiable reasons... these are excuses. Get up, Get out, and Get movin... what was your "reason" again for not doing something...?? 8-D
I tried on my fat work pants that I bought after returning to work with Jack, and they fit. Phew I dodged a bullet there. I really thought I wasn't going to make it on that one.
I also am not looking forward to buying more fat clothes but so is life after having a baby right?
Jaylea, that's awesome! And I'm so jealous that you're seeing Mumford this weekend.
I'm having a Lean Cuisine for lunch for the second day in a row (my god, the SODIUM!!). I need to go to the grocery store, but the last time I took the kids they were such monkeys that I was a total crank by the time we were done.
I just bought a wedding gift for some friends. Their wedding was in June. Oops.
jaylea- very exciting, I am so glad it is all working out for you. idoinjuly- Happy Anniversary!
Mrs.Beagle- I am with you, except is my chest. I am pissed I was without period for over a year and now I can only assume I am going to get it again for the third month in a row. I am also worried I am going to get a bit crazy again if I do get it. Stupid period, I am hoping the prozac has kicked in enough that it won't happen. It worked in my early twenties so fingers crossed on that front.

Don't be so hard on yourself. It took 9 months to make that baby. Give yourself some time to take the weight off. In the meantime, just be comfortable. There are enough pressures and things to worry about than the size of your pants right now.
1. Our puppy is driving me insane! He is starting o be a Velcro dog an I hate it.
2. I talked to mil yesterday an we had a good conversation without me leaving an feeling like I was mean/rude to her!! (sometimes I speak without thinking around her, it sucks)
3. I have the next 4 days off with nothing planned.

I know I know
I have no idea why I put the pressure on myself. It all came off with my first but like you said it took 9 months. Why in the hell did I expect it to be different this time. :drink:
Also, re ttc, every time I get my period now that we're engaged in "let's see what happens," I am simultaneously sad and relieved - it just seems like i should feel more strongly one way or the other. And then I have too many drinks sometime over the next few days because I still can.
LHC, I like sex and all, but that takes COMMITMENT! lol.
Also, I always love reading about things you do for your son. I hope I can remember some of the cool things you mention to do for my son when he gets older. I need to write things down!
My random - I think I'm going to spend a good portion of my day rearranging my office. I don't have much else to do, and it feels cluttered and crowded in here.
The organization that sponsored the O's game fundraiser T and I went to Friday night said they'd have pictures online yesterday and they're still not up. The guy took one of T and I and I want to see it! Grrr.
