I think we're going to take DS to a little gymnastics place on Sunday. They have a little kids open gym thing with trampolines, a foam pit, hula hoops and ribbon dancers etc. It's only $5 for an hour of play, and no charge for the parents. I figure it's worth a shot.
Also, this will sound like a bragplaint, but I swear it's not. I give myself credit where it's due for having lost a bit of weight over the last 8 months or so, but I have a tiny worry in the back of my head. Since mid-december, I've really slacked off on keeping good eating habits, and I've only run once since the beginning of December, and I'm still losing weight. Not at an alarming rate or anything, but the paranoid part of me worries that something is wrong. I'm still medically on the verrrrrrrry upper end of "healthy," so it's not as if I'm wasting away, but it's weirding me out. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it. The good news is, I won't lose my diet bet!
I have to study tonight for my Italian test tomorrow morning. After that I'm meeting my STBXH to clear up the house so that we can put it on the market (not looking forward to that!).
Sunday noon, I have a lunch appointment with a friend of a friend I met this week and in the afternoon, I signed up for an open salsa class! I really need to do some physical activity and I always loved to dance.
We're going to "naughty gras" at a local art gallery tonight. I'm really excited, but I think it may be awkward to go with friends (they invited us). We're not going until 9pm, so I'll just drink a lot at dinner I guess!
My mom is keeping my kids overnight and taking them to a movie tomorrow. Yay!
I have my eye appointment tomorrow morning to get my contacts for the year. Other than that, we may go to the Y to swim, or I might sit on my ass and do nothing. Haven't decided yet.

I'm helping H pick out new frames tomorrow and then we are supposed to go to the Winter Carnival and a birthday party. Molly sounds like shit and isn't feeling well so I might stay home with her and just send H and Lucy.
I'm meeting a friend for HH on Sunday and then probably continuing the drinking with the SAGs and Downton Abbey. Hooray for Mondays off!
We might look at trucks tonight. DSS has basketball tomorrow morning, and then we'll probably just do house stuff. I'm volunteering at an adoption event for the humane society Sunday afternoon.
children's national just called to schedule a STIM test for jonah. the test itself is a bummer and takes all day, but i got them to schedule it on a spring break day so we don't miss school or anything. maybe we'll do some touristy DC stuff when it's done
We pick up our new dog, Pryor, tomorrow! I still feel like I have so much to do to be ready, but am side tracked with a sick house. We are so excited to meet him, I just wish that things were better health wise.
I usually only work 4 hours on Fridays, but decided to say screw it and took PTO today. I still had to go have my annual exam today, but HOT DAMN. Three day weekend after an insanely stressful two weeks almost had me in tears when it was approved.
I made a cheesecake in my Instant Pot and I'm letting it cool now. I'll use it again tonight to make honey sesame chicken and rice and then tomorrow to make more yogurt. M LOVES the yogurt with honey way more than the Hello Kitty yogurt in our fridge right now. Proud mama moment. So cool that I can make it myself for so much less.

When we were leaving the gym some dude in a Speedo comes out of the pool area and says something to one of my kids. I look up (I had previously been avoiding staring at him) and realize it's an old professor of mine. In a Speedo. I might have died a little.
SN 1: same prof has a hammaconda type sitch in regular pants, so...
SN 2: I hope I'm half as confident at his age. Haha
This week has been a freaking emotional roller coaster. H's business has slowed to a crawl and the gamble I took on taking a pay cut with my new job has stressed us both the fuck out.
Today everything did a complete 180 on us - H got two huge estimates approved that will turn things around in February and my new boss emailed me to say they approved a 5 percent increase to my starting salary.
I still have pinkeye, so my only plans for the next three days involve antibiotic eyedrops and as much lesson planning as I can bear to do without wanting to scratch my itchy, watery eyes out. My right eyelid is also super swollen, so I look like Igor. Blech.
My plan is to go home tonight and sleep! I'm catching whatever DH has. I don't feel awful yet but I don't feel good either. And I slept horrible last night. DH is all congested and stuffy. The mouth breathing- you guys. It was like sharing a bed with Darth Vader.

Oh and ProfessorArtNerd this is going to sound creepy, but I thought of your GoT love when we were discussing our Ireland itinerary and they want to do a GoT tour in Belfast :-)
Our beta fish died this morning/overnight after just over 2 years with us. C isn't too upset over it, and was more shocked at the idea of flushing the fish down the toilet. But it looks like we're getting a new fish (and stones, tank items, just in case there was some illness that the new fish could get). C already has the name picked out. I'm also starting a Fitness Blender plan for the first time, will see if I like the set up.
I'm really hoping this cold dies a good death this weekend too. DH brought it home from work 2 weeks ago, gave it to C, who gave it to me last weekend, and now C is starting a new round of sneezing. It needs to stop.

I'm sitting at work unable to motivate myself. It's been a stressful three weeks between illnesses, my DH's ridiculous overtime, the blizzard forcing us to be homebound, etc. And now I am congested and my eyes are dry as fuck.
My boss is out today, there is no one in the office, and I am not doing any work anyway, so I'm leaving early, running some errands and then checking out for the night.

I'm sort of meh on posting in the last couple of days. There are a lot of people at whom I'm looking differently.
I'll probably end up working this weekend; things have been crazy. And both boys need new pants. They keep outgrowing pants. Like, every week, it seems.
I have a baby shower/open house tomorrow. After, H and I are going away for the night. We are going to a marriage seminar and than spending the night in a hotel. Maybe we can get the conversation moving in the right direction without children hanging around.
I don't have a huge amount planned this weekend. I invited DS2 over for dinner tomorrow night, and that's about it. I'm kind of sad there's no NFL on this weekend. lol

Hanging out with my sister and nephew tomorrow and giving DH a day home by himself (he is SAHD and the baby has been a beast this week.). Should be fun and weather will be nice. We might go to the park or something.
Relaxing tonight, tomorrow I have my baby shower, and Sunday Costco shopping to prep crock pot meals. Trying to get last minute things done like wash all the car seat items, and get the hospital bag ready.
Let's hope I don't go into labor until I get it done!
