I'll go first. I work in a hybrid role between 2 departments. Both are throwing me a mini baby shower today (one at 2pm, one at 4pm.) Also, it's DS's 4th birthday. That's right ladies, I'm going to eat cake 3 separate times today <)
My parents are coming tonight and I always love when my parents visit. The boys are obsessed with them. They are fun to hang out with and we always get to have a date night when they visit.
I bought a groupon for the aquarium for when my family is coming to visit. I've been wanting to go, but DH isn't interested. Now I get to go at a discount!
Also, we're making grilled cheese and from-scratch tomato soup for dinner. I'm more excited about that than I probably should be.

It's Friday!! One of my best friends moved across the country lately it's been hard to catch up on the phone bc of scheduling. We're having a wine drinking FaceTime date tonight and I'm super excited!!

Its Friday and I have no plans tonight! I'm ready for a night with nothing planned and will probably be in bed early tonight. It has been an exhausting week.
H came home today after a 11 day business trip. The girls are staying the night at my mom's. We're going out. Don't know where, but I don't really care.

H got home around 2 today from Florida. He stopped by my work for a coffee break and I didn't have much else to do for the day so I'm now cozy at home relaxing.
My DH accepted a great job offer today. It's the next step in the direction he wants his career to take, and might even be two steps. He's so excited. He'll be getting a nice amount more money, and the health insurance is fantastic.
As for me, I went for bloodwork today (we get one freebie per year, so I'm using mine before DH leaves this job) and in the ~6 months that I've been eating better and working out, I've lost 15 lbs, my blood sugar has decreased 10 points, and my HDL has increased 15 points. Both were in the normal range before, but the improvement is still so motivating.
I love Friday because I don't have to cook dinner. DH turned down a job offer earlier this week. This is not the good part, I'm getting there. The job wasn't something he applied for or even a job that was posted but the company knows DH and wants to employ him. Unfortunately, the job was not a move up for him and they likely wouldn't have been able to match or beat his salary, thus he turned it down. He discussed the direction he wants to go in his career and what type of jobs he wants. Now, the good part, the person he talked to asked if he would mind if they kept reaching out to him with other job offers in the future because they really want him on their team and they feel like they will eventually have something that would be a good fit. It is nice that he is recognized for working so hard.

My son got his kindergarten report card and got 99% in math national standard testing and 97% in Reading.
If anyone remembers the hell we went through in kinder and 1st grade with my daughter, you will understand why this is a huge relief. She also got her report. She is doing so much better and so much happier. We all are.
This is from yesterday, but I'm still riding the high...
I kicked my project reviews ASS yesterday. I had the big bosses eating out of my hand. Most of their questions, I was able to say "can we hold that bc I think it will be covered in 2 slides." I came up with a new plan of action (after not getting the funding I needed for the initial plan), and they LOVED it. My favorite part? The asshole who I posted about that tries to undermine me was there and saw the whole damn thing. So, next time he implies I'm not managing the project right? Well, he saw how management thinks I'm kicking ass.
I can't even explain how cool this all is. My plan actually has a decent chance of working, and it will be the first real progress we've had on the project in 20 years (I took over in 2013). It's a small win, but they all agree at this point, any win is good and let's try to take the small ones to lead up to the big one we hope to get someday (probably 2018).

Sleepover party at the spunkarella house this weekend! SIL's visit has turned into SIL, her friend, FIL, and MIL. The kitties are not going to be happy, but I love having guests.
Also, I am taking Monday off and DH gets it as a holiday - three day weekend!
