Getting up at 4:30am sucks, but the sunrises outside my office windows have been pretty cool.
I've always sort of thought that DH wasn't my type looks-wise, but he is really getting more attractive as he gets older. He recently took to buzzing what hair he has left and grew out his beard. It's hot. This is probably the first time I've really thought that about him. Not that he hasn't always been attractive in other ways, but this new look is really working for me.
Sitting in a security training this morning... I feel like they could just show us a couple episodes of the Americans and it would be just as effective.
I got some kind of stomach bug last night, so I was up all night. So exhausted, but the pets won't let me sleep!
Does anyone else only get stomach issues at night? Whenever it happens I throw up all night and am done by the time the sun comes up. Deep thoughts over here!

I'm packing up my office today and I'm bummed about it. My last day is tomorrow and even though I know leaving my job is the best choice (and the choice I wanted!) for us it still makes me sad for some reason. I've worked as a nurse since I graduated, and now I'm quitting my job to move so we can be with my husband (he's been working 6.5 hours away since September) and to focus on grad school. I really hate change.

BIL asked my to knit/felt a hat for his friend from the Renaissance Festival. He told me it was just for personal use and not a costume. Whatever is fine, she just likes the pattern.
I don't like knitting clothing items and felting kind of sucks but I did it and gave it to him last night.
The first thing he said was "oh was it supposed to be blue?" Then "it's a littler bigger than the one you made me." Then that it wasn't for her pirate costume but maybe for a different one. Then he got around to a thank you.
Dude, you never told me a color so I used what I had. And if you would have told me it was for a costume I would have asked what color. Shrink it more yourself if it's that bad. I'm not making another one of these dumb hats. I have like 20 other things I'd rather be making right now.
I don't know if this is a migraine or if I'm coming down with something but my head has been killing since around 1am. I took 1 regular strength Tylenol which did a little, and I used an ice pack for a bit to get back to sleep, when I woke up it was back. I'm drinking lots of water and had a coffee, I feel a little run down too. Ugh.

Omg my dh gets so much better looking as he ages. I was way more "the catch" in our college days. And now I have floppy stretchmarked baby belly, an extra 30 pounds, wrinkles and greys. And he looks amazing. Life is unfair.

I've been psyched about my weekend in NYC starting this Saturday. I emailed my accountant this morning to drop paperwork off tomorrow before I go, and I typed, "... tomorrow, March 30 ..." and it was only at THAT MOMENT I realized I'm not going THIS weekend, I'm going NEXT weekend. I am completely crestfallen and have no idea how I came to be a week off.
But, I'm shopping today with gift cards I got with cc points AND at a discount, so that's the day's saving grace.
My cousin and her husband are bringing their baby to us tonight, which works out even better than us going to them, because it means I don't have to go anywhere but home after work. lol. I can't wait to meet him, and I am looking forward to seeing my cousin!
I have one coworker here who has taken to telling me daily how tired or over it I look. I want to say "It's really just the comments I'm over!" but I can't bring myself to be rude. Plus I only have 11 more working days (I ended up changing my leave date from 4/19 to 4/17 yesterday, making my last day 4/14), so I just try to remind myself of that instead.
I think I placed the largest Amazon order of my life this morning, but now the only things we really need to buy are a Rock N Play, double stroller, detergent, and wipes, which we'll pick up at Target/BRU this weekend. I also ordered a daycare label pack this morning from Name Bubbles, which has, weirdly, been one of my favorite places to order from going back to when I had L. They're just so cute, and three years in I still replenish L's stash.

We're supposed to head out of town for a few days at noon today, but the dog is vomiting and constipated so to the vet we go and our getaway is unlikely.

Right? Meanwhile, I peed myself twice the other day while sneezing. His look of pity was sweet, but mostly I was just like, "fuck all of this! You're all hot over here and I'm an exhausted mess with no bladder control."

Work has been EXTREMELY slow lately, so I proactively scouted out new projects and sent the proposals to my boss and his boss. Both were THRILLED with the work I did, couldn't believe I discovered something that had overlooked, etc.
That was over a week ago and I've heard NOTHING about moving forward with it. I'm not worried that they forgot - they're both SUPER busy so I know they're waiting for the right moment to get the OK from the SVP. I'm fine with that.
BUT...it has killed my motivation. I have stuff that I should be doing, but, meh, I'd rather just browse the internet. I even went to the gym for an hour so I could come back and work on emails, but I didn't even get ONE.
I'm going to a conference in half an hour and I only signed up because they're giving us lunch.

I just got back from a work trip. It was the first time I had met some of my co-workers in person, and spending three days with them and other people in a professional setting (plus some happy hours, lol) really made me realized how isolated I am, working from home. Most days the only other adult that I see in person is DH. I mean, I talk a lot on the phone and chat via Skype, but sheesh. It was a fun trip and went really well, but man, it also made me realize that I'm lonely and need to get out more with actual people IRL who are not my children.
Oh, and I got home and DH had gone through, purged and re-organized all of the girls clothes and toys; got them haircuts; took them hiking and to see the Lego Batman movie and out for sushi (I don't eat fish, lol); and would've put a bunkbed in their room except for the fact that the one he wanted to buy is on backorder until May.
He is way more motivated than I am, even on his days off.
I just got to Florida for a conference. Staying at this nice resort with pools, spa, nature trails, etc. I really hope the attending I'm with doesn't expect me to go to a million sessions because I have plans to run, get my swim workouts in, and fucking relax some.
I got to work and realized I have a hole in my shirt. A very noticeable hole. In my brand new sweater I just got from Gap. I swear it wasn't there this morning when I put it on, but a coworker pointed it out as we were getting coffee this morning (he wasn't a dick about it, just a "hey, I think you have something on your shirt.").
I have to wear it all day obviously, but would I be able to return it?

I had hip surgery 7 months ago so I haven't been able to work out as intensely as I would like. I'm making my way back, but I have to go slowly so I don't reinjure myself. As a result, my anxiety and OCD have been increasing. I just spent 45 minutes going over and over our budget and I realized I've been checking all of our accounts multiple times a day. I am definitely more O than C and it usually focuses on money. I hate feeling like this.
Our 7:45 flight to Denver has been delayed three times. We are now set for a 2pm departure. I got 3 hours of sleep, and woke b up two hours earlier than normal for this flight. I'm ducking done.

I may currently hiding in my bathroom. Myles keeps yelling at me today and throwing a tantrum when I try to help him. I can hear him playing so nicely alone. I am pretty sure he's teething.

I took J to a screening this morning for his speech. As I suspected, he's somewhat delayed in his verbal communication. They want to do the full evaluation next. I'm tired now. Clearly I've been anxious about this appointment and after it was over I just wanted to come home and sleep. Since I'm on spring break this week I think I'll nap when he does.
I just found out the fairly new director of our library system resigned for violating the code of conduct, and now the nosey part of me *really* wants to know what he did.
I have zero motivation this week. All I want to do is lay in bed and watch Criminal Minds on Netflix. My periods started so hopefully it helps with my lack of energy, lack of sleep and motivation.

We're going to see The Decemberists next weekend and I hate all my clothes that fit and have very little casual to begin with. Doesn't help I'm at my biggest ever, and I don't even know where to look for something cute and flattering. Ugh.
I'm off today and have a whole bunch of stuff to do. Just got my taxes done and the office smelled like an ashtray. Ick. Now I'm waiting for my car to get inspected and heading over to the new house to unpack some stuff. I need a day of relaxation, but it's not going to happen until we're moved in and unpacked. On a positive note, at least I'm getting a decent tax return and don't owe anything this year!

My mother gets this, but it's reflux related. She can't eat after a certain hour in the day, and she takes Prilosec daily.
