I'm headed OOT for work tomorrow and requested an aisle seat, since I pee pretty much every hour and don't want to climb over/make people move every time I go. I just tried to check in, and of course I have a window seat. I'm hoping that if I call the airline I'll get a sympathetic person who will put me in an aisle seat.
I really wish I hadn't stayed up for so much of the closing cermeonies last night, I am dragging today.
I'm annoyed with myself because I left my coffee mug at work over the weekend and instead of my normal 34 Oz serving of coffee i'm stuck with only 16 Oz. this makes me a sad panda.
My brother got a new job and it is based out of London and Paris, he was at the closing ceremonies last night. I told DH we need to start saving now so we can go visit him once he finds an apartment and gets settled in. I think this is going to be great for him and am super excited for him.
I am so sore from crawling around in the tunnels yesterday with Jackson at the family fun center. The two of us look like we got our asses kicked with all of the bruises on our legs.
The for sale sign is officially up on our lawn as of this morning.
Good luck with the inspection, je! I didn't know you'd found another place.
I didn't get the job I applied/interviewed for last month. Wah wah waaaah.
I'm not ready for summer to end, but I do love fall weather and the cooler temps we've been having. I can go for a walk during lunch and not come back a sweaty betty!
I've totally stalled the past 3 weeks in my weight loss. I gained back the last couple of pounds that I'd lost and the scale doesn't seem to want to budge. It's discouraging. But, now that tball is done and swimming lessons will be done soon, I will be able to get back to the gym on my regular schedule. I'm hoping that helps.
we were out of town this weekend and got home later than i wanted last night. i am fucking exhausted. i slept horribly (which is so rare for me; i'm usually dead and do not move an inch w/in seconds of hitting the pillow.) i just want to go back home and sleep.
i'll be out of town again this weekend for work stuff. the weekend of the 24th i'm going to dc to visit w/ friends and then the weekend after that is opening day of football so we will be there for that. we only live 45 minutes away from our undergrad college town, but a bunch of friends are coming in for it and everyone got hotel rooms for the weekend. then it will be every weekend either at football games or at someone's home watching the game ( i will skip some of these.) throw in some baby showers/births and all of a sudden it's thanksgiving and christmas.
i'm a super homebody so even thinking about this is draining. ugh, just let me be a hermit!

When I see someone post next instead of nest, I think of Mean Girls and how desperately Gretchen (i think that wa the chatacter's name) wanted the word fetch to catch on.
I'm cold, and since this is a La Nina year, it's supposed to be gloomy and cool all of august.
I'm so tired of being pregnant. My body hurts and I feel like I can't take it anymore. I just want to feel half normal again.
I would kill someone for a brownie batter blizzard from DQ right now.
DH was great this weekend - he finished up his expectant father book, watched a birthing class with me online, put the pnp together, and packed his hospital bag. Probably makes him sound lame but I think it's cute.
My niece fell in a store yesterday and hit her head really hard on the concrete floor. I kept texting my sister all last night that she needed to go in her room and check on her while she was sleeping to make sure she was ok. I'm psycho aunt.
This is going to be a long week at work because it's start week for our new mid-quarter students. Our numbers are way down so we're just going to get yelled at all week and it's "blackout" meaning we can't take any time off so even if I wanted a mental health day I can't get one.
But we went to my mom's this weekend so that was nice and it's always a good chance to just relax and forget about real life, lol.
I was thinking about you this morning! How was your visit??
I got rejected from two different companies in a matter of days. My app never even made it past the recruiters
I'm so exhausted this morning that my contacts even hurt. I have to wear my glasses all day
I nearly cried when I came home Saturday night from my nephew's birthday party when I saw that H left a bouquet of lillies for me and one for DD on my bed with a note saying how much he misses us (he is working 2 jobs)
Had a wonderful day at the beach yesterday but I think I am ready for summer to come to a close.
This morning is absolutely gorgeous. Temp is in the 60's!
Thanks, puddle. All of our DQs here are closed except one and it's waaaay out of my way :-( But I may just want one so bad that I'm willing to make the trip.
I left my job last week so I have all kinds of free time to unpack/get the house together and I have zero motivation to do so.
We bought a crapload of furniture yesterday and I can't wait for it to get here! I hope I picked out good stuff. I'm terrified I have bad taste!
Today is the first day of my period and all I want to do is eat which is unfortunate because I am home all day...just me and the fridge. Tis does not bode well.
One of my best friends delivered a stillborn baby boy at 31 weeks last year. We were in the hospital room with them immediately after and were able to see their baby. We also spent about 6 weeks watching their kids/ hanging out with them while she was on her maternity leave after. We cried with them at night and tried ti make them laugh as much as possible. I sometimes still cry thinking about what they went through. Becuase we were so close to that tragedy, I am scared of every little pain that I am feeeling this pregnancy. It terrifies me. I cannot shake the feeling. My friend is TTC again now, and I know that I am only feeling 1/1000 of what she will be feeling, so I need to just get over it.
I a bundle full of nerves because Leo is starting daycare soon. Part of me knows I am making this a bigger deal then it needs to be. He is a happy baby and I am sure he will adjust. I am just scared he is going to be all confused as to why his mama isn't with him. And now I am crying.
We are really pushing the bottles this week, which means I am nursing full time and pumping to give him practice bottles and build a freezer stash. Fun! If he can take the bottle better my anxiety will go down a ton.

I'm finally getting my stupid root canal finished after about a month and a half of appointments.
I'm leaving for the beach for a week on Sunday. Then DD is going to Ohio with the ILs and DH and I have to move a semi truck full of furniture and STUFF up, find somewhere to squish it while we finish looking for a house and live with the the ILs for the interim.
So I'm giving myself until September 19th until my head explodes and ceases functioning altogether. I'll take bets. Winner gets a special prize.
I spent all afternoon yesterday in tears, so frustrated with bfing and how hard things have been with Andy. And then at dinner he smiled at me for the first time. Melt. Funny how that works.
Aww, eddy. He'll be fine. He's still at that age where he doesn't know a stranger.
Because I am nursing he sort of does. Or at least he knows I am not there. :-( He was with the ILs yesterday and was sort of out of sorts after he ran out of the pumped bottle they gave him. Part of me though thinks the DCP will be better at soothing him than MIL who never bottlefed. I will feel better when I follow up with DCP about this. SHe has watched kids for 20 years I mean she has to know what she is doing right lol. Like my mom said this isn't the first BF baby to be sent to daycare.

GL, eddy. I was really anxious when DD had to go to daycare for the same reason. She just wouldn't take a bottle at home without putting up a major fight. I talked to her ped about it and he reassured me that when it came time, she would do it. And our DCP had no problem getting her to eat. Maybe Leo is the same - just resistant at home where he knows there should be a boob available to him
The co-worker who sits accross me is driving me mental with constant chewing and sniffing noises. She's a very loud eater, chews with her mouth open +o( and has now taken to suck on lollipops all afternoon, making horrible slurping noises. She also sniffs all fucking day long.
I worry that I might bark at her any day now as I've tried the passive aggressive offering of tissues and it's gotten me nowhere. I swear I'm going to end up attacking her with my stapler if she doesn't stop. :@

She's right. I'm sorry he's having a hard time taking bottles though. I saw your post yesterday.
Oh, and I didn't mean he doesn't know the difference b/t you and other people, just that he will probably be fine with them too - not old enough to be scared of strangers or have separation anxiety or anything. Just wanted to clear that up b/c I don't want you to take it the wrong way. Of course he knows his mama!
Oh I knew what you meant. NO worries
I have an inflated sense of self so obviously my baby can't survive a moment without me.
And actually maybe this will be better because it won't be in our home. Our house=boobs. Even when I am not there my smell is everywhere, it is the normal noises he is used to etc. In a new setting I am wondering if he will do better with giving in to the bottle and bonding with his DCP. I hadn't thought about that but it oddly makes me feel better.
