I am at my OB office doing my 1hr glucose test. Wish me luck. I got the drink down fine it was fruit punch flavored.
I felt like a total bitch last night, because my H is sick and his snoring is so bad when he is sick. I tossed and turned until 2 am my H woke up and in his sickest voice ever said he was going to go sleep on the couch because I (me) need sleep. . He said he slept fine downstairs in the basement tv room, best sleep he has had in a while.
I remembered that I started a Digit Savings account in the fall and there's $213 in there now. I might take that money and use it for the StitchFix clothes I want ($194). I've also been contributing each month to my regular savings account so it's not like I'm draining my regular savings or anything.
ETA: I also paid my credit card off this month so woo-hoo! Let's celebrate by spending more money, lol. womp-womp.
Good luck! I had fruit punch, too, and I didn't think it was too bad.
I'm all about food. I just ate a pudding cup I had brought for my afternoon snack, and we're going to dinner at a place that has great crab cakes. Mmmmmm.
So, as part of trying to train my cat not to wake us up in the morning, I bought some new toys for him to tire him out. I got this and he loved it. But still woke up at 4:15 this morning.

Good luck! I have my 1 hr glucose test today, too.
We're closing on our house today and it feels surreal. I can't believe someone is letting us buy a house. And have a baby. I still feel like a 15 yr old.

Pregnancy sleeping is hard. H slept on the couch a lot.
I feel like I've complained a lot lately. I think the gloomy weather and days have made it harder on me. I promised myself I will find one good thing to compliment on every time I see someone new for the day. Let's see how it goes

I went through that last year. So many changes and emotions at once. It was surreal when we were handed the keys. Congrats!

Don't worry I have only lamented about my feelings of being a parent and our assorted family illnesses lately. It's hard when those things seem to have taken over your life. Complain away!
I don't have much to share. I'm extra boring these days! Not quite a month until we leave for Hawaii, so that's pretty much all I'm thinking about these days And looking for a new house!

I think it is a lot of crapy stuf at once too. Not everything in my life is horrible. All the small stuff piles up and it gets to me.
I hope your stuff turns around. I remember the year Allie stayed sick. It was rough. (Hugs)
This is really random and super dumb so be warned;but I always wondered why bathroom tap water from the sink tastes different from the tap water in the kitchen. It comes from the same place, same water, yet tastes different.
See, stupid, lol, and I have been secretly waiting for our favorite pot-smoker to ask this in her fabulous random stuff threads
Snow day today! Except I already had a scheduled vacation day, so of course they called it. Was planning to still take Morgan to school but they close when campus closes so now she has to go with us to get our taxes done. But at least it's $42 in my pocket since we don't have to pay for school so there's that.
The snow is pretty though. Looks like we got about 16 inches or so.
Snow days make me feel like baking so perhaps I'll make something later.
Why are barre classes so expensive? I like taking them, it's been the one type of working out I have been able to stick with but its hard to stomach the prices. I found a studio by me that has unlimited barre, spin, and yoga classes for $90 a month. Which is a really good deal but I don't like the barre classes there. I prefer barre3 but the classes are like 20 a piece. Struggles.

Does only one go through a water softner? Growing up I hated bathroom water & only drank kitchen water because bathroom water went through the softner.
I cannot take these headaches in the morning lately; they are excruciating. H thinks they're caffeine withdrawal-related - I recently gave up soda - and told me with much regret in his voice this morning that, if that's what the headaches are, I am probably in for a solid week of them. He's cute. It's also been an emotional few days in our house, which I think is not doing me any favors in the headache department.
Tonight we're going to have dinner at my sister and brother-in-law's house for my nephew's birthday, and my whole immediate family will be there, which is nice! I definitely didn't think my parents would be going, but my Mom does have off tomorrow. She asked me to show her the Easter dress I posted here yesterday tonight, and said she'll buy that one for L if I want her to, so I think we'll go for it.

My dog had an u/s yesterday because of some liver/gall bladder issues, and it found some inflammation that we're going to treat, but this morning her pee was neon orange. I'm waiting for a call from the vet, and while I'm trying not to worry because she seems completely normal in every respect I'm worried that this is something that has cropped up so fast. Like, literally, two days ago we were just going in for a regular checkup and rabies shot. I'm trying not to worry but Dr. Google has me pretty freaked. Fortunately she peed on a white rug on the floor so I can show the vet a good photo. Now I'm reduced to taking photos of my dog's pee, because bringing in a sample of what turned out to be orange that she ate and puked back up last weekend wasn't embarrassing enough!

No, we don't have a water softener though we desperately need one. It is just so fucking bazaar to me and always felt like an idiot so never asked, lol.

Hmmm, I got nothing then LOL. It is strange though.

I really want to do barre but can't for this reason. It makes me mad because I think I would really enjoy it.
My H has a call in with the daycare director today. Yesterday at pickup, the new teacher was yelling at B to hold on to the rope that they hold in the hallway, which ok...maybe he wasn't listening. That in itself isn't bad. But then when my H was within view, she got this "Oh, shit" look on her face, and then kept repeating, "I'm glad you're leaving, Ben. I'm glad you're leaving."
Who the fuck says that to a 2 year old? My H said he gave her a shut-the-fuck-up look and suddenly she was like, "I mean, I'm just jealous you get to go home." Yeah, ok, weirdo.

My kitten goes apeshit for that toy - he can even pop the ball out of the track and chase it around the house. The problem is, it's LOUD and it's right near where we watch tv at night. I swear he knows he's bothering us!

Ok so I know it's all I talk about but I had a wow moment at the gym last night. A younger guy, maybe 20ish came in asking about classes and I was talking to him about the gym and everything while our coach was finishing up with a class. And the guy said, "I hear one of these guys is a pro fighter, that's got to be kind of cool to be around" and I said "Well, who do you mean, because this guy is holds two championship belts in boxing, that guy over there is part of the UFC, and the one you were just talking to is part of Bellator and just won his latest fight last week. That's the best part of being here, that these guys all train with you as part of the team."
The wow part for me was realizing what I just said - that I'm part of that team. Dude I get on the mats and train with these guys everyday for free. I'm so lucky, so blessed, that they're closer than just friends. Really we're a family.
I have been working on a case for years. It's followed me from job to job. The court just issued an order that slayed opposing counsel. All that hard work is finally paying off. And so I'm at my desk doing these moves to celebrate:
Dd and I have a mommy/daughter date to get our hair done after school today. I'm thinking I'm going to change up my highlights for sure, but I also have an appointment to get a body wave perm next week since some of you talked me out of getting a shorter hair cut. I'm still not sold on that idea so I'll ask my stylist what she thinks.
I think I'm going to have to do underwear boot camp for ds this weekend. He won't use the potty at school and that's the best way I can think of to get him to do it. Pull Ups don't matter, he treats them the same way he treats diapers...he could care less about being wet. Getting him to use the potty at home takes bribing most times (with either his LeapPad, my phone, brushing his teeth, or a new toy), except at bed time. Then he has to get up every 2 seconds to go potty. He goes a little bit every time, but where do you draw the line when you are trying to get your toddler trained? Some nights it takes him a good 2 hours after I actually put him to bed because of how many times he has to get up to go potty. I stop liquid intake at least an hour before bed time. I have to threaten to throw away his planes and LeapPad to get him to lay down and go to sleep.

I was woken up this morning by DD2 coming into my bedroom screaming my name because she had a bloody nose. She tends to get them during the winter, and this was a gusher. Nothing like scrubbing your kid's blood-drops out of the carpet when it's not even 7 a.m. yet.
She stayed home from school because she also has a terrible cough, slight fever and just isn't herself. On the way home from dropping off DD1 we had this chat in the car.
Me: So, we are supposed to have X and his mom and dad over for dinner this weekend. What do you think we should have to eat?
DD2: Chicken.
Me: Chicken is a good idea, most people like chicken. The question is, what kind of chicken?
Holy shit I'm pissed. I'm out of town for work, and in between appointments. I'm at a restaurant eating lunch and have my laptop open to do work. These two men, probably my dads age, just walked in and said TO ME, not to themselves, AWWWW a little office how cute.
FUCK YOU DUDE. would you have said that to a man doing work.
