Good Morning - Happy Thursday

[americaninoz]

how is everyone?

QOTD: how often do you communicate with your in-laws? (phone, email, skype, etc)

Pretty good. Going to hop in the shower and then give myself a mani and pedi. I'm really happy because I won two tickets to an early showing of Snow White and the Huntsman. So Tuesday night DH and I are meeting after work to go!

QOTD: We don't communicate. I don't participate in the Skype calls DH does with them. FIL occasionally pops up a message on Skype or a FB message. But my computer is broke and I don't have my Skype signed in anymore.

Ah man this day is going slow. I'm looking forward to getting home to relax tonight - 2 hours and 20 min of work to go!

QOTD: I try to skype with MIL about once a week so she can see dd, I only see the ILs every couple of month or so though, since they live a 4+ hour drive away from us

Today was not bad. My rental inspection went well; the agent said three times how much the property managers like it when people keep the houses clean. The house is hardly spotless, and there is still dust and detritus from the a/c installation on Tuesday, so I was really surprised. But I'm glad it went well. And she said the lease is ready to sign, so tomorrow we'll go in and execute our lease for another year. (Yeah for not having to think about moving for a while. I was getting a bit worried about the landlord possibly not wanting to renew the lease and having to find a new rental in three weeks.)

QOTD: I live in the same small town as my in-laws, so we see them frequently. We talk on the phone about once a week, and we have dinner with them every other week or so. I do a "ladies who lunch" date with about MIL once a month. FIL drops off fruit, vegetables, eggs when he gets deliveries from his brothers/cousins.

Tired, and not looking forward to the long day I have today.


QOTD: I talk to her on the phone once every week or two weeks. We see them about once a month.

'allo, 'allo! I received some Andes Mints in the mail today so I am in the process of getting diabetes and showcasing just how non-existant my willpower is. DAYUM these things are good!

QOTD: We all Skype together once every few weeks. I email with his mom about once a week, and his dad when I need something fixed in Norway that I can't do from afar. My ILs are awesome, I really like them. They REALLY like us and are very sad we're so far away, but have never guilted us about it.

I'm trying to wrap up a big work project so I can enjoy my first full no-visitor week next week.

Skyping/talking to the ILs regularly has been hard lately because my GMIL is very ill and MIL is basically on call 24-7 to help her. This means we can't really schedule time in advance. I feel bad for what GMIL and MIL are going through, but am kind of glad to be left alone for a while. It's hard enough managing my own family. (My parents just left Paris yesterday and wanted to commit to a Skype time for Friday or Saturday already.)

First off alli I'm so jealous! I have really been wanting to see that, please let me know how it was.
I woke up this morning with horrible aches and pains especially in the back and neck DH was not well last night so I slept with DD...she is a bed hog lol even in a queensize (which I wish we still had) she gae me no room if I layed with her! So I'm dreading hving to start laundry/clean soon also have an apt with a nursery for DD ad a drs apt for dh later and the nursery thing might interfere with a mommy and me type thing I was wanting to do so blah!

We see MIL evertyday.

Afternoon! I'm on a deadline but a girl's gotta eat, so I'm nesting while lunching! So glad the weekend is almsot here though! It's been a looong week!

QOTD: DH talks to them once or 2x a week, sometimes I talk to them, but maybe once a month, i dont usually participate in their weekly conversations unless they ask something specific or if they send us something to say thank you . Same with DH and my parents

[travelingturtle]

I'm having a bad day - week. It's a combination of pregnancy, a toddler being sick, being sick myself, and just general weakness in my bones. Oh and not sleeping.

QOTD: We skype with them once a week at most, but I don't always join in on the call b/c I figure they want to talk to their son alone. They'll be here next week. I have sent them emails, but now I only really send emails having to do with their trip over because it's just easier.

Hi! Dang it - I actually had a good morning question today thanks to a dream I had last night. I guess that's what I get for living in a time zone behind everyone else...
I've been super productive on my dissertation this week, making me think that I may actually finish this thing at some point!

QOTD: I make sure DH calls them about every other Sunday, and then we seem them an average of 1x / month usually.
