Terrific Tuesday

[minion]

In the process of cooling down my office, before the heat hits. MiMi has her 9 month docs appt today. So I hid H's birthday presents around the house so he wouldn't find them. I can't find one of them. UGH. Work is busy. That's about it.

Oh I have a question. Does anyone have a ghost bed? (https://www.ghostbed.com/mattress/) Has anyone ever gotten a bed and decided they hated it within the 100 days and sent it back, even from a different company? H really wants one.

How is everyone doing?

Good Morning!

Do you ever feel like your appearance is a facade? People have this impression of me that I've got it all together. (Not on the board, probably, because I am much more vocal about my struggles to you internet "strangers" than I am in real life.) Inside, though, I often feel like a total mess. Things seem "together" because I stress out and freak out until everything IS together, but the stress and chaos of getting there, definitely takes a toll on me emotionally. There was s song on the radio this morning that made me think of it. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Anyway...

Tman's recital went pretty good last night. James was able to make it, so Tman was VERY happy about that. He made a couple mistakes and it wasn't as smooth as I've heard it before, but overall, he did REALLY good and I was really proud of him for just busting the rest out even after a mistake. That's tough to just keep going. I would get flustered for sure and probably cry and run off. If you're interested (it's pretty short):





Nothing going on after school/work today, so I'll be doing some housework in preparation for having some family over on Friday. I also need to do some shopping, but I don't know if I will be up for both tonight.


Tman has three more days of school after today!  NICE.  No more actual school work is happening, either, which is awesome.

Oh yeah, so last night, Tman called his "best friend" from last year's summer camp to find out what camp he was going to so they could request to be cabin mates. It turns out that his friend is going into 7th grade next year which puts him in a different camp than Tman. Tman was SOOOO disappointed. His mom sent me a text with some info before we realized they were going to different camps. So, then once we figured out what was going to happen, I sent her an email and asked her if we could come visit them in August. They are in Prosser, so it's going to be quite a drive, but I told her Tman and I would make an adventure out of it and get a hotel room and the boys could hopefully get together and spend some time. She and the boy are super excited about this idea and so is Tman. It made me feel like I did a "good mom" thing to think of it. I am pretty introverted and to initiate something social with a stranger isn't easy for me. I was a little proud of myself yesterday. Patting myself on the back a little bit.

Not much here today. D called in so he is home with me. Just waiting to be called with my start date for work.

Go me! I actually WENT TO THE GROCERY STORE after work yesterday and bought almost ALL the thingS! I forgot to actually get something for dinner though, doh! But I got stuff for lunches for me and other dinners (they would just take too long to make by the time i got back from the store). I used to love grocery shopping but my motivation for anything is just gone lately. H hooked up the AC in the bedroom last night so it cooled down enough that I could turn it off and not have the noise and slept better.

Tonight I just have to finish perfecting my travel brochure for class and then print at the office the next day. My brochure is pretty much done except I need to replace the lorem ipsum text with ACTUAL text and i haven't been able to write it and H said he'd do it for me and then hasn't yet. Hope he actually does tonight like he promised.

Good morning! Work is still pretty crazy, but my CW (who has been on vacay for the last 1 and a half) is coming back tomorrow!

My MIL left Seattle on Sunday, and the visit wasn't too bad. Our place is way too small to host an overnight guest and that was annoying, but I think she attempted to be more self-sufficient that she usually is, which was nice.

I'm on a HRC Presumptive Nominee "high," and it's making this beautiful day all the more glorious. I'm hoping for good results from today's Primaries I've been waiting for this day since BC's last day in office in early 2001. I thought HRC would have been a better Presidential candidate than Gore. I rooted so hard for her in 2008, and was bummed when she gave her conceding speech on June 7th 2008. Well, Hills... you are finally breaking the glass ceiling! <3

Happy Monday #2!! Not much exciting here. I get to go and mow the front yard during nap time since it should be cooler today and the grass won't fry. I have other stuff I should be doing right now as well buuuuut i'm not hahaha.

Random, I saw a dead porcupine on the side of the road this morning. I almost stopped to take a picture.

Hello I had my first GD appointment to day and now I need to spread out my carbs. Tomorrow there is the diabetic educator and I get to learn how to draw my blood... yay.

Anyways nothing exciting today just working :3

Tman did a great job!! What a little cutie he is.

I'm nearing the end of writing this response that is due tomorrow. I sacrificed two weeks of maternity leave for this so I better win! The hearing on it is next Wednesday. I pray I can find something that fits for court.

J is so cute. She smiles a lot now. I'm looking forward to just playing with her and not worrying about work.
