This morning was a shit show- DS has been home sick the last few days so both kids were used to sleeping a little later and not rushing in the morning, but back to normal this morning and NOT happy about it. Plus DS was super clingy at drop off and starting to cry His best friend was pulling in as I left though, so hopefully that perked him up.
Kids are sleeping over at my parents' tonight after we have dinner there, I think I might dye my hair tonight when I get home. The color's gone a little brassy and I think I want it darker for fall.
I really, really miss DH, and his trip keeps getting extended- six weeks now. Bright side is that between feeling stressed and not eating as much, and walking the dog more, I've lost four pounds in the last three weeks.
Im excited for lunch today! We have mimosas and I made 2 overnight casseroles (cinnamon roll French toast casserole and hash brown/egg/sausage/cheese casserole) so the guys can come over before leaving for the bachelor party.
Anxiously waiting to hear from Toyota about my car. Does it sound like BS that I have to buy a car within 48 hours of it being declared totaled?
Yes. Wtf? What if you can't find something in that narrow time frame?? I've never heard of such a thing. Are they saying they won't pay if you don't? I'd escalate that. You shouldn't be pressured into buying a car in that (or any) set period of time. Beware of Carmax - report came out today that 20% of the cars they sell need recall work done to them that Carmax should have already taken care of.

I am smitten and that make me scared. I feel like I shouldn't like someone after only 3 dates and a handful of phone calls, but, here I am.
I hate feeling vulnerable, which is exactly where I am right now.
Also, I cut my knuckles last week while I was doing dishes. My hand was inside a glass that broke and I got a pretty good cut right one my knuckles - it is also like a weird little raised area. Its hard to describe, but I hope it heals okay. It is currently in the ugly scabbing healing stage, and it itches like crazy...but it is also still really tender. I also haven't finished my dishes since and it is grossing me out. I need to go buy some gloves so I can finish them, lol.
I'm excited that instead of coming down to visit us in October (they stay in a hotel but still) my in-laws are meeting us in a city in the middle of our two cities for lunch and a museum stop. Much easier and less time consuming.

@pandora89 my neighbor has a truck like that and he leaves for work at 4:15am every day. My kids and I all have white noise machines in our rooms because of it.
I'm pretty pumped for this weekend - driving to my parents' house tomorrow to spend a day with my mom, and then headed to Chicago on Sunday morning to see HAMILTON!
I have Monday off, so three day weekend-o'-fun. The only thing that would make it better is if I could get rip roaring drunk, but I'm probably too old for that kind of behavior, anyway. I'd even settle for a gentle buzz. I miss booze.

An 11 year old girl that I coach told a "ball" joke at archery last night. I chose to ignore it instead of making a big deal about it, but now I'm questioning if I did the right thing. She also told me her step-dad told her the joke, which is sending up a red flag for me. I'm trying to decide if I need to address that, or just make sure I spend more time with her next week and pay attention.

They are saying they won't cover a rental car for more than 48 hours after my car is declared totaled. I need to test drive them but I'm pretty sure a Subaru Forester or Outback is what we would get.

Tonight starts Yom Kippur. I dread this holiday for the entire year. I hate fasting but feel guilty if I don't. It's a long day. The best thing about the day is I used to be able to take a nap in the middle to make it go faster but since having kids that nap has been unpredictable. We are also in the middle of packing and moving so there is just a lot going on. But we see Hamilton on Sunday night so that will get me through!
My coworker saved my ass this week by helping me with a really tedious project. I bought her a bottle of wine just now to thank her. But my real reason for going was to get a peanut butter brownie for myself. #winning

When our car was totaled we had no time line. It took us a week or two to get a new one.
AW: I've been working out daily. I think it's making a difference. Someone actually asked me if I've had cool sculpting. Uh, maybe this is a compliment?! However, the scale isn't showing a difference. I'm confused on this. I have weight to lose, so it's not a situation of I'm suddenly getting all this muscle. Shouldn't my body purge the fat first? Maybe this reasoning is flawed, but whatever as long as my "old" (aka thinner me) clothes start fitting better I'm happy.
Scale weight is just...not terribly important. If you are feeling better, your clothes fit better, etc then you're making progress. But you may also want to track measurements of waist, hips, arms, thighs, etc. You may see changing numbers in measurements before scale weight.

I'm feeling kind of weak and weepy. I have been spotting for months off and on and now I'm on day 10 of the worst period of my life. I was housebound yeaterday because I was passing large clots and even an overnight pad didn't contain them. Luckily I've spoken with a midwife and have an appointment with my OB/GYN on Monday. I'm a little scared.
Then I feel bad for the self-pity because my best friend's sister is dying. She's on hospice and I'll be attending her "celebration of life" event this weekend. She wants her funeral while she's still here. I expect lots of tears. I will be wearing an adult diaper. I feel like life is so fucking fragile and when your health is in jeopardy, nothing else matters. I'm distracted and sad.

Excellent work!
I know, I know...it doesn't matter as much but it just seems odd that if I'm reducing size wise why that number isn't going down. I get it if I was already too thin or something and my body was gaining muscle mass etc. However, I keep thinking that I should be losing more fat than gaining muscle mass at this point. I know logically that is the least important number, but it's hard to not start wondering wtf am I doing wrong that it's not going down.

I'm getting excited for my class reunion tomorrow but mainly because my son is doing my hair and makeup. It's a 20's theme and I'm just going to let him have fun with it.
I feel like a zombie today. H snored half the night. Sometime around one he finally went out on the couch. Then DD got up because of a bad dream and climbed into bed with me around 4:30 and I couldn't fall back asleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzz
I just got out of a meeting with my boss. I am getting another raise, which is awesome since I just got a raise in August.
But I feel like this is giving me an impossible standard to live up to. I have doubled my salary in 2.5 years...I don't think this is a trend that will continue. lol
I’ve have the best day off. Took E to daycare, went shopping and got some new tops, new watch, and new bag at the outlets. Also hit up homegoods and got a map pin board for the playroom.
Then I watched the new Beauty & the Beast on Netflix.

Post pics before you go!
Are you feeling any better?
Yes, I've been on my meds for a month now and to therapy 3 times and have been trying to use the tools I'm learning. Little changes have made a big difference. The baby being in preschool has been the biggest help.
My sister in law texted me last night to tell me she and my brother are splitting up. Apparently he has told her he doesn't love her anymore and is not willing to do counselling. They have an eight year old who is going to be crushed by this. I am a wreck today.
