Monday Randoms?

[Bernadine]

We're just ordering the nursery furniture today. It takes 8-10 weeks to come in.

I am tired!

We went out to eat at this restaurant down the street from where we live Saturday night. The food was amazing but holy crap the dessert was probably the best I have ever had. I have been craving it ever since. I walk by it on my way home from work and I am very tempted to just go in and grab one to go.

We're buying a house! Which, yes, we've known since Friday morning, but the excitement and stress and panic comes in alternating waves.

We have a new receptionist who is so loud. She's like a bull in a China shop the way she slam the phones, opens drawers and bangs files around. She sighs heavily and talks to herself all day long. She just slammed a drawer so loud I checked to see if the screws fell out on the floor.

I have a coworker like this. Stresses me OUT!

Are you getting a changing table or using a dresser for that? I have a white changing tray for a dresser if you want it, you just need to get a pad for it.

Oh, thanks! I actually wasn't going to get anything separate, but I wasn't entirely sure of that decision.

I have Friday off and I can not wait! Sure I have a doctors apt ay 8AM but at least it's out of the way early and I'm going to hang with DD all day. I might take her down to see my gram since we aren't going down for Easter. This week needs to go by fast!

We had a small nursery, so it was done out of necessity, but I liked it. If you decide to go that way, let me know and it is yours.

It's been eight years today that my Dad passed away. I feel his loss some days more than others. Today is one of those days where I feel it.

I am excited to plan our road trip from Western Upstate NY to Kansas City, MO in May. It's gonna be a long drive but who doesn't love a road trip?

For some reason I am craving food from Long John Silver's.

This morning has been kind of a shit show so far, running late, little things going wrong, comedy of errors type stuff.

It's colder this week! Back to sweaters.

I'm excited to watch TWD and Girls tonight. I'm really enjoying this season of Girls. Is this the last one or is next season the last one?

I successfully dyed my hair again yesterday! I was worried because the first time went well, but I wasn't sure if I'd fuck up the whole roots first, wait, then the rest of it. But it came out great! I did get messier this time for some reason, though, haha.

I took a personal day today. H took J to the sitter's and I got to sleep in til 8!! I've taken a long hot shower. I'm currently sipping my coffee in silence. I need to leave in about 20 mins for my appointment, but I'm indulging right now.

Yesterday I went to a child's birthday party in the presidential suite at the St. Regis. They had rented the kids club and had the kids have their own party there. The parents were up stairs with 2 butlers a Buffett, a full bar and this view. It was pretty amazing.

Coming home to my little shit box of a house was a wee bit depressing. This week is going to be nuts. I travel for work Wednesday- Thursday. My mom arrives Friday. I will have to take Friday off so I can clean the house in the morning before she arrives. I get my stitches out today so I can get back to running and lifting thank god. I was going nuts!!

[elleblue]

I'm still struggling with sleeping longer than five hours overnight. I don't know why I keep waking up (pregnancy hormones? seems odd) but I'm so tired and completely unable to fall back asleep. I see a ton of naps in my future if this continues.

[cinderbella]

I don't work Mondays so allllllll weekend I was so excited to drop the kids off at school, get coffee, and hit up the 11am showing of Hello, My Name is Doris. All by myself.

Except the fucking kids have Spring Break this week and are sitting next to me on the couch right now.

[sineadorebellion]

I'm having a really hard time lately. I had to drop out of the gym and I basically feel like I've lost my sense of purpose. No coaching, no reason to train... It's trickle down effect is that I'm depressed and having a really hard time lately. I know it's depression, I have a long history with it but training helped me stay off meds. Now I'm so bummed it physically hurts to move. I don't have the motivation to run or lift weights anymore. It just feels pointless.
Everyone is like, well just go back, but I can't afford my kids tuition right now and it feels mean to drag them there when they can't participate. I don't know what to do anymore except watch the West Wing for the millionth time.

My best friend is in Chicago right now, and she's so freaking happy that I wish she would just stay there. She's wanted to go pretty much her whole life, and she is having the best time.

Daycare called a little bit ago to say L's eyes are puffy like she's reacting to something - they said no need to come get her now, but they will keep an eye on her and call me back if necessary. She was fine when I dropped her off, so I can't imagine what's going on.

[friendz4eva]

This weekend flew by (as usual). But, I have am taking off Thursday and Friday.

[ladystardust]

We were going to replace our kitchen counters but I think we are both over it right now and will put it on hold. Too much of a hassle and not finding what I wanted. Our savings isn't quite as high as I was expecting after paying off some debts either. Womp womp. White laminate, you live another day.

Saturday night I went to a movie premier for The Bridge, a Karen Kingsbury book made into a movie and met her along with Faith Ford and Ted Mcginley. They were all three very nice and spent the whole evening talking to everyone and taking pictures.

It's earlier than most experience it, I think, but insomnia is definitely a pregnancy joy. I have never napped so often or so blissfully as when I was pregnant. Enjoy that part!

Guess it's a good thing I don't have a job, lol.

I had SUCH a fun little domestic weekend with my family o three. I can't even remember what we did Saturday, but yesterday we FINALLY made it to the open gym at the gymnastics place, and it was so. much. fun. Apparently it's usually way more crowded, which probably would've overwhelmed DS, but there were mmmmmaybe 10 kids in the whole place, and it was huuuuuge. It was really cool. Also, I've never walked on the mat thing where they do floor routines for gymnastics, and it's super springy and fun. I can also now no longer say that I've never jumped on a trampoline, although it was more like walking slowly.

Ohhhh I'm jealous. Yes, girl, take advantage!! haha. I would manage to keep it together till I got home and then I'd immediately fall asleep as soon as my ass hit the couch. DH would wake me when dinner was ready. It was kind of awesome. I kind of want another kid, but idk  how people get through the exhaustion while functioning as a parent..

[bex1973]

I have a big to do list today but it's a lot of piddly little things so I'm hoping to crank it all out today. I leave early on Monday's because Morgan has dance so this should motivate me to keep at it (LOL) to get it accomplished.

I want to eat alllll the Easter candy - for some reason I think Easter has the best candy of all the holidays. We took Morgan to an Egg Hunt on Saturday and I was so disappointed that all she got was tootsie rolls and smarties - come on city people who organized this - did you not think of the parents who steal their kids candy!?!?! H did bring me home so Reese's Eggs so that made up for it a little

We celebrated the il's 34th anniversary last night. I still feel so bloated and heavy from all of the food, but it was so worth it. Yum.

[Marmee]

Granted we have multiple vacuums but we've had the newest at least 6mo and its used a lot. I found out Sunday that my DH doesn't know how to operate it. Wtf? I shouldn't be surprised but I guess I am. Then he made a comment about all my not quite completed painted rooms. Several of which are 80% done and I've asked for his help finishing because he's 7" taller than me. In a year he hasn't touched them. Then I've counted and I've painted like 20 rooms in this house and he helped with 2. So he can STFU.

tarzanswife, the nahoku homestead is not so lovingly referred to as Casa de Shitbox. I feel ya.

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow and I'm thinking of doing some dark blue streaks on the longer (bottom) layers. Will I look like an old lady trying too hard? I just feel like doing something different, but I don't want to go short and hair dye is less permanent than a piercing or tattoo

T - 8 days until Hawaii!

[FrozenSunshine]

Contractors are here soundproofing our master bedroom so I have one quiet space that I don't hear the neighbors. Unfortunately, Monday's are my day off and all I want to do is nap and it's too noisy.

[kaybee85]

@32flavors, I'm sorry. That's shitty of him (and the family participating in this nonsense).

I'm meeting someone for coffee tomorrow - I've never been more excited for a opportunity to spend time with an English speaker lol
