[wineandcheese]

Another Monday...

Any fun plans? Vents? Randoms? AWs?

Have a great week beautifuls!

[rockinrobyn]

Family pictures for church directory tonight. Totally unprepared and have no idea what anyone will wear.
Our work carnival is Wednesday. It is always fun for our residents but so much work!

I miss you all! Work has been so crazy I only pop in to read updates and skim threads.

[christy082]

Well we were going to go to music class today but C decided to wake us up at 3am and was up past 4, so we went nowhere because I am tired.

Tomorrow and Wednesday my ILs are watching C so I can clean house and run errands- I need to find shoes for my SILs wedding and grocery shop. Thursday and Friday I work.

Saturday we start weekly music play classes at my college conservatory. And Sunday we're planning to go to a touch a truck event.

[HoneySpider]

Tomorrow's my birthday! No big plans, we're going to go out for dinner (or if it's raining too much and I don't want to go out, we'll order Chinese delivery...which I might lean to anyway)

Thursday I have to go into DC to drop something off so I'm going to drive DH in and we're going to go out for birthday breakfast (his birthday is next week) We rarely get to go out for breakfast so I'm looking forward to it.

Otherwise a pretty standard week I think.

Happy (early) birthday, HoneySpider!

[katespade]

Boring week here. Just work and the gym. I think I have a therapy appointment on Friday, but I'm not totally sure. They'll call me to remind me if I do. lol.

[luv2rn4fun]

Happy birthday HoneySpider! Hope you have a great time celebrating!!

Add me to the "kid up all night and tired club".

DH has a charity golf tournament for work today so he just left and will be gone til our bedtime. I was able to vacuum this morning and take C to the park. Might take the boys to the library for story time before naps and likely going to the mall after naps since it will be hot again today.

No real plans. Usual chores, walks, play dates. My brother moves this weekend (an hour away) so I want to try to see him. Also need to try to meet with my parents for their business. And I really need to start working on L's bday party! I am starting to stress about it.

[pooh8402]

DH let me sleep in! I didn't get up until 10:30!

I had been SO TIRED this weekend. Taking random naps, falling asleep while talking to my husband. Coffee was barely working.

[estrellita]

I have my glucose test Thu and a dentist appointment. I'm nervous about the glucose test since I failed last time

This weekend we're PTing E. I'm nervous about that too but I work Sat so H will be doing a lot of the "dirty work", lol. We were going to do it early Oct but the 3 day weekend I have is the week before we're going to a wedding about 2 hours away, so I'm hoping by doing it now, he'll hopefully be less likely to have an accident at the wedding. I *think* he's ready but as you can tell from my FB vent, he isn't bothered by a wet diaper. Hopefully wet underwear will be more uncomfortable for him!

[pooh8402]

ugh, my tuition waiver wasn't applied to my account, and tuition was due 3 days ago. now I'm on hold to find out what the hell went wrong. this is the second time this has happened in the past 3 semesters. I never had an issue in either of my first 2 degrees! 

[bk1]

Last week at home before DH starts his new job on site. He still has lots of online training and an in person class to get done this week. So this week is balancing seeing him while we can and getting out of the house so he can have quiet for his online courses.


We'll also try and visit my grandma a couple times. I took the girls to see her yesterday and it was a really nice visit. She was moved to physical therapy today so waiting for her to get settled in and see how busy she is before we go back up there. 

[awick14]

rockinrobyn- I feel like Im not around much either. I read lots just don't post as I've been busy.

I hope you get some sleep tonight christy082. & pooh8402.

suzv- I hope you have a better week, you deserve it.

Happy early birthday HoneySpider.

More organizing and trying to pare down out our stuff a little more for our move. 34 days...

[wineandcheese]

HoneySpider Happy birthday tomorrow!

pooh8402 ugh that sucks! I hate being in a holding pattern, mostly when it's something important.

I'm so tired and sore from this weekend. The show we did was awesome! A lot of work and no sleep for 4 days, but worth it.

Sunday we are going apple picking with SIL, BIL and nieces. I can't wait!

[christy082]

Happy early birthday HoneySpider!

[pooh8402]

so I have to file an appeal. there's a whole long backstory which I won't get into, but everyone I've talked to seems to be sympathetic. this tuition waiver was granted to me by the state of Texas, NOT by my university. it should not be up to my university's financial aid department (which, it isn't even in their purview!) whether it is applied or not.

but this appeal entails me emailing a dean (not the dean of my current program, a whole other dean in a whole other program that I've never met and who does not know me) asking for help, and hopefully getting access to my old email account, and hoping that IT hasn't deleted my old emails from 9 years ago (they probably have).

I. don't. have. time. for. this.

[MrsMB]

pooh8402 omg I am so sorry you are having to deal with this!!!! I hope this gets cleared up soon!!!

HoneySpider happy early birthday!!!!!

We went to a doctors appointment with DH today. I have an appointment for DS on Thursday. I'll also return some things in Music town while I am down that way.

My parents come on Friday. My brother and his family are talking about coming down on Saturday. We will see. May be a big family weekend.

[krystee]

Crazy busy week at work, which is the norm now. I am hoping to take DS to the library one night this week and the splash pad this weekend since it will be warm. Our new bed comes this weekend so we have to rearrange some furniture upstairs.

I am in the mood to ignore our bank account and BUY ALL THE THINGS. I want a new desk, new light fixtures, a professional painter, a couch for my loft, some new rugs...

[awick14]

pooh8402- that's so frustrating.

We are doing family photos with my siblings and parents on Wed evening now. My mom wanted pictures to be done before we leave town as we haven't done pictures as a family in 1-15 years. (Except a few pictures at my wedding and then my brothers. My SIL is going to take the pictures for us so we don't have to pay a professional to do them to save a little money. We will do them in a local park.

[awick14]

I think I'll go to the gym once DD wakes up. I need to get back into going more.

I just finished making some pumpkin cupcakes. (Like pumpkin pie but no crust and in cupcake size.) They didn't turn out how I wanted them too. They were a little runnier because I used pumpkin from our freezer, so the texture of the cupcakes is off. So next time I will make sure that they are not as runny before I bake them.

Edit: just got to the gym, I forgot to put a sports bra on, so I guess no run today but I will do weights.

[katespade]

pooh8402 - Ugh, how frustrating!! Does the tuition hold impact your classes this term, or do you have a little bit of time to get it straightened out?

[wineandcheese]

pooh8402 I'm sorry they are making you jump through so many hoops to get this figured out.

This feels weird being off on a Wednesday. I woke up at 6:45 freaking out I was going to be late for work then remembered I'm off. I got to make a healthy breakfast and enjoy some coffee. I need to get motivated soon to get showered and dressed. I need a few things that forgot grocery shopping the other day so I may actually go to Aldis. I haven't been there in awhile and would like to see how they improved.

We finally had propane delivered at the cost of over $400. I ended up prepaying for the delivery so I don't have to worry about it. Yay for hot showers! I have to admit, cold showers woke me up in the morning better then coffee and my skin is actually more clear then it's been in years.

My grandma fell out of her hospital bed last night she was getting up to go to the bathroom and forgot she wasn't at home. She hurt her knee but I haven't heard to what extent. I'm going to take the girls up to see her this afternoon.

[wineandcheese]

bk1 oh no! I hope she's ok.

[melsamoony]

bk1 oh no!!! Ps I hadnt congratulated you on your H's job so congrats.

pooh8402 that sounds annoying sorry.

Today is usually my day off but I have to go into work for a few hours....boo. I have gotten most of my house stuff done including grocery shopping. Now I am relaxing until lunch and then will get ready to go to the office.

My niece was born Monday so we are hoping to meet her this weekend. Otherwise pretty low key week.

[estrellita]

bk1 Oh no! I hope it's just a minor injury and she's feeling better soon!

[MrsMB]

bk1 oh nooo!!! I hope the injury isn't extensive!!!

[luv2rn4fun]

Really sorry to hear about your grandma bk1. I hope it isn't a serious injury and that she recovers quickly. ((Hugs)) and prayers!

[bk1]

Thanks for the well wishes. I'm anxious to get up there and see how she is doing. Since I haven't heard further I'm taking it as a good sign. Fingers crossed!

[estrellita]

I brought a Lean Cuisine for lunch and it takes 9 min to cook. Why???

H is worried about his job. He's behind on stuff but the amount of work he has on his plate is insane. Plus he has someone shadowing him. Plus they don't really allow much overtime. His boss wants to talk to him today and I'm hoping it's nothing but we're both a little anxious. I have no idea what we'd do if he had to start job searching right now. I'm getting more and more stressed just thinking about it

ETA He talked to her right after I posted, lol. Job appears to be safe, so sigh of relief!

[estrellita]

PDQ, may delete at some point

I think our friends are getting divorced or are on their way to that. For reference, these are the friends who were in our wedding (including their kids), we were in their wedding, and they were the ones that had a loss last year. We've kinda grown apart from them over the years just because of kids and we don't live as close. Apparently they've had some issues over the last year or so and H just told me she left this weekend and apparently may be seeing someone else. I'm really sad. I can't say the H is my favorite person ever, but he also doesn't deserve this. I just hope things don't get messy and that the kids aren't too affected by it. I wish they could have worked things out but most importantly I hope they are both happy with whatever the outcome is. Obviously I have no idea what the whole situation is so I can't really "take sides" but no matter what it sucks
