My dog is being an asshole today. He went on his daily (M-F) walk with his dog gang, came back and decided to scratch at the carpets non-stop, even after I told him off. I had to put him in the kitchen for 10 minutes and even then, he came out and tried to scratch again. I shut that down. He's the reason we're going to be moving to all wood flooring on the ground floor when we redo this house as he destroys carpets when he gets in a mood.
It has been a little rough this morning. K woke up early, then she was mad because she was no longer winning Candy Land and swiped the board clean and now I am just counting down till I take C to school.

Back to work! We are housesitting and the dogs got up at 4:30 a.m.! I dozed a little after that, but my Fit Bit says I had 5 1/2 hours of sleep. Woo hoo!
I have a gym date with a coworker today. I'm excited to move even a little bit after 8 months off.
Uuuggghhh, first day back at work. It's going better than I expected (DS did not freak out with a new sitter this morning, DD didn't require any nagging, super easy drive to work), but I'm not ready to face my to-do list.
My current group lead applied for another job, and while I'm guessing it's going to be a non-promotion transfer again if he leaves (we just did this less than a year ago), I'll apply for it if it is opened up for promotion. Fingers crossed that they don't decide to just leave it empty and I end up being the acting lead without the promotion (this is a distinct possibility, there's less than a year left on the program, and I've been here the longest).
Snow flurries this morning! A week and a half ago it was 70*. WTF, weather?
I had to carry DD out of bed as she sobbed and get her to the bathroom. It's hard waking up after vacation days and sleeping in! She had perked up by the time I left for work though.
I wish we had money to get tickets to the Vikings playoff game this weekend!
I was 15 minutes late to work and my eyes feel like someone rubbed sand in them all night, so Monday is off to a great start!
I'm usually so reluctant to take down Christmas decorations, but I just can't wait to get them down this week/weekend. I think it's because we're overrun with toys from Christmas, and I feel like our place is getting smaller by the day.
It's finally cold! I'll be over it really quickly, I'm sure, but at least it finally feels like winter.
Normally I despise Christmas decor after Christmas Day. But for some reason I'm not ready to take it all down. :-( Maybe bc it's finally cold here? I don't know. I'll do it this weekend instead. Finally feel back to normal mentally and physically after my 2000. It feels like a great start to the year! I miss my h already. It was nice having him home for 2 weeks:-)
I could NOT get to sleep last night. Tossed and turned for 2 hours. Finally took a melatonin and sort of slept but tossed and turned with nightmares all night.
I thought I'd be dead to the world today because I love my sleep, but I was happy when the alarm clock went off.
I had to call in sick today which I always feel like raises red flags after a long weekend. I think I have a uti. It was so painful last night I was convinced I was having premature labor.
I'm getting really serious about my finances in 2016. I've got a new Mint account all set up. A new budget worked out based on what I think my paycheck/bills will be now that the divorce will be final and all finances will be untangled. I've got a debt snowball plan that should be complete by next March at the latest, but I'm hoping for a tax refund to speed that up to the end of this year.
I've recruited a friend to help me home dye my hair. I'm on spending freeze for the forseeable future. Gonna do this!
I had to peel myself out of bed this morning. I'm still on antibiotics and everyday feel a tiny bit better but i could have used more sleep. I stayed up too late watching Outlander. I killed my new iPhone 6. They tell me it got wet and it is fried. Thankfully I have a phone I use for work so I will use that until insurance sends Me a new phone.

I slept really poorly last night and I'm going to be exhausted today.
My grad school has a weird schedule and the semester started in early December and goes until the end of February, and I feel like I'm really far behind. It's the last time I'm taking a full two classes, so I know I need to just power through and do it, but I'm overwhelmed.
This weekend I posted a bunch of stuff on our local exchange group, and sold a few items. I'll donate anything that isn't sold in the next couple of weeks, but H was all, "You're not going to be able to sell these things!" He just wanted to throw out a bunch of stuff. Oh ye of little faith. I should keep all the money, but we already decided to put the funds in our vacation account I'm glad we're cleaning everything out! Some of this crap has been sitting around for years.
Now I'm procrastinating on working out. Any minute now...
I had a really hard time falling asleep last night - I think it happened somewhere around 1 AM. Then my 5:45 AM alarm to get ready to take DD to school came much too quickly. I'm so tired, but there are a lot of errands that need to be done today. Trying to push through the exhaustion!
Today is DH's first official day back at work since the baby. Crappy timing as yesterday I started feeling really sick. I am on night baby duty solo until I go back to work and every time I got up to feed her I felt sicker and sicker. Hopefully she's okay with a boring day but it's only 8:30 and I'm already wishing I could crawl back into bed.
Also, our coffee machine seems to be on it's last leg and we need to get a new one (must.have.coffee!). Any recs for a coffee machine on amazon or at target that has a timer so we can set it up at night and wake up to coffee? Our last one had a glass carafe but I'm thinking a thermal one might be nicer.

My dad went back to work today, so DH and I are once again a one-car family. Ugh this sucks! My dad doesn't drive much, except to work, so I took his brand new Escape to run errands and help me out when I hurt my back (I drive a Passat and it's so low). I really didn't want to give that car back :/
