Eek. Came back into a crazy day of work. I guess no one from the team was in yesterday because of a bunch of things going on, so everyone is scrambling to get caught up today. Going over to a friend's for dinner tonight. And tomorrow is my Friday!
Is it Memorial Day weekend in the US on Monday? Half way through the week with a long weekend in sight. Yay!

I have to go to west Seattle for an all day meeting. I'm hoping with the impending reorganization I won't have to make this commute anymore. It's brutal.
Bkb has a follow-up appointment this afternoon with her regular pediatrician. Hopefully I'll at least get some reassurance from that. She's still doing great.

I stayed up an extra two hours to finish Dancing with the Stars. I am debating on when to send a follow up email to my friend's mom. I gave her my alternate availability times Monday afternoon and haven't heard back. Idk if I should follow up this AM or a little later today.

Thinking of you today!! I hope all goes well for bkb!
We are back! It was a lot of fun, ate at Cowfish twice, we didn't take a lot of pictures b/c of water rides etc. I wish I could have had a few more days off!
I feel like poo for no good reason today. I suspect allergies are to blame but who knows. I would have stayed home (I never ever take sick days and I really should) but it's day 1 of business validation testing for our CRM upgrade and it would be bad to skip that. Plus, it's probably going to be a pretty easy day anyways.

Good morning!
The interview went well. The manager (who wasn't in on the second interview) stopped me on the way out and basically told me that even if I didn't get the position I applied for, that they want me regardless. They have a couple of positions open that I qualify for (regular MA positions), and basically he said I'm exactly the kind of employee they're looking for. So... yay? I don't know. The pay would have to better than what I'm making now (hard numbers haven't been laid out yet), and my hours would have to be more flexible than they are now. I'm so torn. But they're checking my references, so I know I've at least made it over another another hurdle. We'll see! I should hear back one way or another sometime next week after the holiday.
Because I fibbed about why I was absent yesterday morning, I had a dream last night that I was walking around with poop in my mouth. Um. Gee, thanks conscience. LOL

Good morning! Turns out my work travel isn't in the clear, I have a trip next month that just popped up. At least it's only for a few days and DD will be gone in CA, so only H will miss me being home.
I'm getting the position that reports to me posted hopefully soon, I hate how long the process takes and can't wait to get someone in the role.
Looking forward to a short day on Friday and then the long weekend!

Good Morning! (Has anyone seen that dumb cartoon Uncle Grandpa? He says Good Mornin' tons of times - it's like his catch phrase, and he says it so funny. So every time I type that, I think of that and chuckle: Good Mornin'!)
I'm home today and so is James. I will be working and maybe some housework, but probably not. Ha.
I just ate some Honey Bunches of Oats w/Almonds - so good.
I got another RSVP for Tman's party. I really want there to be a zillion kids there...even though we pay per kid and it will be super expensive. I just think it would be really great for him to have a huge 10th birthday.
I'm doing my monthly lunch with my two oldest friends today. We made plans to go somewhere we can sit iutside, on the water, because it was supposed to be nice. But, it's cold & grey & drizzling...hoping it burns off by noon.
Also, impatiently waiting for my office to announce promotions. And, trying to navigate dating (do I text, do I wait for him...ugh).
X got a new job, that pays more. And, hopefully I'm getting another raise soon. So, we need to sit down and figure out all our debt and come up with a plan and start chipping away at it. He still does it want to talk about getting a divorce.

Does he think you guys are going to work things out or does he just not want to go through the hassle of it all? I don't understand why he wouldn't just want to move on if it's over.
GL on the promotion. We anticipate being the first notification when you hear the good news.
Morning, first day of vacation and i am madly cleaning the house/laundry before we leave tomorrow. plus i have four appointments. bah. One more day till i can POAS.....but i totally feel my period coming so i feel like its a tease

Idk. He is not actively trying reconcile, but he making small steps on working on himself. I think he wants to keep open the possibility that we might get back together someday. He's not ready to make it permanent and official, but also isn't site he wants to be together. He just wants to bury his head. I don't want to die e the issue. We have a very good relationship right now and I would like us to get to a point where we both are ready to file, but I think that might be never with him.

Good morning! Allergies are still kicking my butt, but I'm surviving. I'm meeting friends for HH today, hopefully I'll be comfortable enough to enjoy it

Oh my goodness. How exciting/stressful/suspenseful. Hoping to hear great news from you about this.
I ended up being fairly productive yesterday once I actually got moving. I even picked up our new to us double stroller which I am slightly excited about trying out. I know we will be using it almost as soon as the boy comes so I'm so relieved to have it on hand now.
As for today I am feeling off.I have ligament pains that are just keeping me from doing much at the moment and its so frustrating! I'm hoping they stop soon so I can get to my list of things to get done. At least its the halfway point of the week.
*vibes* for your POAS day Kahala! My hipbutt (pronounce hibbit like ribbit, technically the piriformis muscle) was baaaad yesterday and so was my IT band so I felt all beat up after PT. Got home to see MIL's car in the driveway. She had her oil changed in Renton and they will drop you anywhere to wait so she had them drop her off at our house so she could hang out with her grandkitty <3 Then she weeded some of my flower bed! Naughty lady! I got our veggie bed planted but am thinking I want to figure out a good way to wrap the tomato plant still. The best tomato year we had was when I wrapped them up well for about a month for personal greenhouses. Then we all went to dinner and then had a good wander at DK Market. Unfortunately, I was not wearing the right shoes for wandering on a cement floor like that so on my way out to the car, my toe gave me a momentary blinding stab of pain and now i'm back to limping a little. Booo, i had JUST STOPPED limping yesterday! Poor Mr Ivan is winky again and I had forgotten to order his medicine 2 weeks ago when we noticed we were about out. Thank goodness for prime, it will be here Friday!

lol I did! for like half the day I even laid on a drs table for about 30 minutes for my nst test so lots of relaxing. I have been downing some water today and it seems to be helping. I need to better learn to drink equal parts of water and coffee through the day - well probably drink more water than coffee would be best

If he were more active in trying to reconcile would you be open to that? Or is your mind made up? It sounds like you guys are in a really good place right now. I'm sure you can totally get on top of the debt.
As I type this, there are 5 women in my home giving it a deep clean. I'm so freaking excited. They arrived in a big van at 8:30 this morning...they look like young college-age girls. They came with their own buckets of cleaning supplies and a brand new dyson. I had previously done a walk through with their boss and she had her notes while she did a walk through with them. Then she gave the orders and they went to town. It's supposed to be a 5 hours deep clean ($525). I have pretty high expectations for that amount of money. After today, they will start the every other week routine cleaning. Yay!
Our house needs the love so badly.
Anyone have Memorial Day weekend plans? I plan on having my SIL and her family over on Sunday and plan to make a homemade 5 been baked bean casserole (loaded with bacon and brown sugar), BBQ ribs, cucumber salad, and corn on the cob. With maybe corn bread? I'll leave the dessert up to SIL since she's a better baker.

Ahahaha...this TOTALLY doesn't count. You're so silly.

Ummm can I come over for all that? I'll sit in a corner somewhere and you won't even know I'm there
I hope this picture isn't huge because whoa. But I would just like to express how upsetting it is that at 35 weeks today, I still have no boobs to show for having 2 1/2 kids. Granted I have a sports bra on but still I really have nothing. Why did I not get the joys of experiencing boobs once in my life? ^o) (excuse the post work out look, it seems to be the only time I remember to take these pictures)

When he did this originally I had a very small reservation that maybe, if he did a lot of work, it was a very small possibility. I am sad about our marriage ending and our family being split up, I feel guilty about that, and when we are together with E I think it would be nice if we could somehow be a family. BUT, I am much happier not in a relationship with him and I cannot imagine how he could possibly fix everything, how we could be OK again, or how we could be happy together long-term. I think we are better off as friends/co-parents.
