Wednesday things

[imimahoney]

So tired, couldn't sleep last night. Corinne is awake (too damn early for her) and Ari is coughing in his bed. Tonight is going to SUCK.

I am exhausted and stressed out. I want to run away and sleep for days. Plus all this stress I have gained more weight and now my dress is too tight for my dad's wedding next month. Ahhhh

[tennisgal]

I'm covering at a different clinic than normal today. Traffic was horrible and I was 10 minutes late! Oops. However, I did beat the receptionist here and I did not have an 8:00 patient scheduled, so I didn't feel as bad

[EmmieB1025]

It's a beautiful day here. We are headed to town to pick up a few groceries and then plan to spend all day outside.

We're going out with the inlaws for DH's birthday tonight. I'm not looking forward to it but, at least I don't have to cook supper.

On an airplane getting ready to take off for Mexico! Hopefully we will be on the beach in about 6 hours

[onehitwonder]

My high school reunion is this weekend so I am treating myself to an early Mother's Day present. Mani/pedi/massage. Ahhh!

[jsillyfun]

I'm gearing up for the home stretch at work. Have to be at our show all day thurs, fri night, late late sat night and then school's out for the summaaaah!! I am so ready to get my weekends back! And ian has one more week then he's off for two months.

I'm so happy to have just received the news that Jane's genetic testing will cost us 0$!! No out of pocket cost!! We must have met our deductible or something because when I first checked this it was going to cost us over $5000. I take her in next week!!

I am so eager to know if there is something else going on that would explain her autism. I've researched a lot and she has a lot of symptoms of Angelman syndrome. I am so curious to get the results! So glad we won't have that financial burden.

I hate helium balloons with a passion. The boys are always fighting over and/or with them. I've found a perfect place for them so Benjamin doesn't whine about me taking them away, yet, none of my children can play with them. I may have snipped the strings a little shorter just to be on the safe side.

I need to shake this lazy feeling. I did practically nothing yesterday. I have the busiest weekend followed by the busiest week, and I really need to get it together. We have a birthday play date in an hour and a half, and I'm still sitting here in my pajamas drinking coffee.

And I started Retin A about 4 weeks ago for my acne, and my skin is a mess. I know there's a pretty big adjustment period where it gets worse, but it hurts and looks terrible, and I just want it to hurry up and pass. My doctor gave me a prescription for an oral medication, but it's used for blood pressure patients, and I just simply could not take it. The lowest dose, which she gave me to use to step up to the dose she wanted, made me dangerously dizzy and sick. I'm probably just doomed to have acne forever lol.

Is it spirinolactone? Take it! Oh wait I just see it made you sick, haha scratch that. But I take it and it has really helped my skin. My skin right now however is a total wreck, but I just upped my dose and switched to the name brand and I'm hoping that helps.
I think my acne is stress and hormonal but it has been BAD recently. I didn't even want to leave my house. Now it's a little better but I still look awful without makeup. Ugh, aren't we too old for this!?

[teamhayes]

You guys should read up on Asian skin care it really transformed my skin just by using a 10 step process

[rjamz]

It was so beautiful this morning and I was in such a good mood. We went to brunch with friends and elizabeth was a maniac, but a happy maniac, lol. Now it's raining and it's killing my mood. I had planned on just having her run around outside all afternoon

[laurack]

Stressful day at work today. My part time backup guy left Friday so now I have no help.its ridiculous. And now they want me to build two new web applications as well even though maintaining everything is a full time job. Not to mention I just booked time off in July and August and I'm guessing I'll just have to always travel with a laptop now that I don't even have the part time guy Ugh

Because people have been waiting months for these new web applications I feel a lot of guilt but then I get angry at myself because hello it's not my fault they refuse to staff adequately ??!! Aaaah

I mean it's not like I am working flat out 8 hours a day without a break but can anyone do that really I wonder

We made it! Weather is perfect, had fajitas for lunch, and am now slightly drunk in the pool. Oh and the resort isn't very busy, so great time of year to come.

[teamhayes]

Swapped around ?

My skin has been so bad in my 30s! I thought those days were behind me. It's so frustrating. I need to talk to my dermatologist. I haven't been able to find the right combo of skin care to help the acne at all.

I ordered my mom and MIL mothers' bracelets for Mothers' Day, with kids' and grandkids' birthstone colors and they arrived over the weekend. My MIL doesn't usually go in for jewelry, so I was hesitant, but evidently she liked it when she opened it. Then she realized the significance (initially she thought it was just a nice bracelet), and liked it even more.

THEN, she just called specifically to thank me for it (because she knew I was the driving force behind it), because she's gotten so many compliments for it. This woman can be impossibly hard to please with gifts, so WIN!

My mom loved it, too, but it did make her cry every time she looked at my brother's.

by the way, this is where I got them, and I really recommend them: www.pearlsbylaurel.com/mothers-bracelets?

It's going to rain on sunday, booo! I was hoping to have a picnic. Maybe we will just do it indoors?

Yes that's it! Ugh, I don't know what to dooooo. Normally, my blood pressure is on the low side, and with running, even lower. But this skin is a hot mess. She recommended accutane, but I'm afraid of it, plus the sun exposure here has me hesitating. And...Matt would have to get a vasectomy for them to do it, because you have to have two forms of birth control by law, and I can't do IUD or oral BC. Who knew this was going to be such a damn struggle in my mid thirties?? I'm sorry it's a struggle for you too, bean47!

[mlkgls]

Tomorrow is Gavin's kindergarten roundup and I have zero idea what to expect other than walk around and meet the teachers? Hopefully I'm not supposed to bring anything official.

I keep watching old videos because I can't believe he's getting so big. Young toddler G was a hoot!

[laurack]

teamhayes I do work at a bank .. that may be private ...

[teamhayes]

I adore a man that works there

I'm actually debating accutane if the spiro increase doesn't clear it. Honestly the sun is a major concern though, your skin will be very sensitive to it. If I do start it I'll prob start in sept or October for that reason. 

Dont be afraid of it in general though, the dosing has changed a ton since we were teens. I've seen plenty of people have great success on a low dose and it should significantly improve your acne permanently.

I thought I was rocking this solo mom thing tonight and then I knocked a glass on the floor that shattered into a hundred pieces. Ugh! Thankfully the kids stayed away and it seems I've got it all cleaned.

Tonight I have to do an online continuing education. I hope it's not too boring.

This week I'm covering a specialist position at work so that's been interesting.

It also sucks because I have those theater tickets Saturday night and I also have a haircut that day and was hoping for a nice evening strolling around the city by myself. Now they're saying a nor'easter. Ugh!!
