Just got home from NJ. Mh's aunt was part of a home garden tour so we did that today. It was fun being able to creep on all these old and fancy houses. Some of the porches on the Victorians? I'd never leave the porch if I lived there! Then she had a big party after the tour was over so we were able to announce to that branch of the family. It was awesome being able to do it person because we are really close with that group. It was a great day but long, my feet are killing me!
tmclawchick that sucks! It's cliche I know but you'll find your house! We lost two houses before ours and now I can't imagine living in them or that neighborhood.
I'm getting ready for a bridal shower. My wine inspired basket looks great! I went with the marble cooler, two bottles of wine, three different flavored chocolates, cocktail napkins, charms, and a stopper. Her colors are marsala, charcoal gray, and gold. I found a dark gray basket that suites her style and did it up with dark red cellophane with gold trim. I'm a stationary and wrapping paper nerd so this made me irrationally happy.
Looks like a couple of friends might be finding out I'm expecting today before we publicly announce. All of my summer dresses make my blump look like a legit bump. Plus not drinking in a small group will be super obvious at the shower. I've decided to embrace the blump because it's going to be a humid scorcher here and I will not survive wearing anything else. On the plus side my boobs look fantastic in this dress (with a new bra!) so maybe their eyes won't wander farther down.

opheliainwaders, I am so jealous of your energy. I slept until 9 and I feel awake but have zero motivation. I just want to sit. I hate feeling this way. There is so much to be done.

I'm SO bad about drinking water on the weekends, and I think I'm paying for it. Had a panic attack and just higher than normal general anxiety yesterday and carrying over to today, dizzy, and generally just feel off. Trying to chug water and see if that helps.
Aside from my shit show yesterday it was a good day - soccer tots in the morning then lunch with my parents. Then home for a nice nap, thanks DD!!
Today started with doughnuts for breakfast, doesn't get much better lol
Warning: massive pity party here. My whole little family has been plagued with illness, specifically pinkeye and some kind of cough/cold/raging sinus infection. They all got to take wonderful antibiotics that cleared things up in like 24 hours. Me, I got some lame/worthless eyedrops and can take Robitussin as needed. Can't breathe, can't hear, can't sleep, throat is on fire, you get the picture. Wahhhhhhhhhh! This shit has been going on for a week now. When will it end?!
Thanks for listening. I had to get it out! Here's some ice cream for your time.

I'm lying on the couch woke up around 10:30 showered and ate breakfast. My headache has been really gone since about 9pm yesterday. I hope it stays that way. I need to do some cleaning around the house. I'm so tired though. We have no plans for tonight other than watching GOT. I really need to be focused on drinking more water too.

Feel better, siouxsieq I am helping DH with his final presentation for his nutrition class. So far the computer is winning. My job is to keep DH calm and prevent him from punching the computer. I am just "ok" at my job.

ETA: why doesn't the tag work?
Tags are weird for me! They only work if you leave off the second S. I'm so tempted just to start a new account with an easier name haha.

ETA: why doesn't the tag work? I tried again!
Hey, what happened?? Did someone fix me? Now my whole name is changed! I'm no longer punk rock (for Siouxsie Sioux) but at least my tags work. I'll take it!

I went back and deleted the second s. I can remember that. Easy fix!

But now it looks like my name has been changed to that...right? It had the second S this morning and now I dont.
siouxsieq, sorry you're so sick! DS and I have had some kind of cough/cold thing for a little over a week, too. It has royally sucked. I hope you feel better soon!
DS did great at the drive-in last night! He loved Finding Dory, and then fell asleep right before Captain America. Perfect!
Of course, I half-slept through the last half of Captain America and we didn't get home until after 2am, and DS still woke up shortly after 7am. I am so tired. I'm getting too old for this stuff.
Also, yay, GoT season finale tonight! I'm pumped after last week. I felt it turned out about as well as anyone could have hoped. Of course, that could mean that they're going to rectify it by killing off a bunch of people this week. We shall see!
The shower was nice but I am disappointed she didn't open presents! She got nervous and had a bridesmaid awkwardly announce she wasn't opening presents which I totally understand because I hated being the center of attention like that (which is weird for a teacher, haha!). But I selfishly wanted to show off the presentation and wrap job of my present because it was banging.
FIL, MH, and DS, went to the zoo while I was there and when I came back MIL made us dinner so all in all it was a great day! Plus we had Indiana with us and she loves the huge fenced in yard at their house. I think everyone will be sleeping well tonight.

Just got home from dinner. Went out to our favorite Mexican place with DS and my sister. I definitely ordered a children's quesadilla to go. For myself. For an after- dinner snack.

My nipples feel like they are actually burning, meanwhile I want cake but I've eaten like crap all weekend. Or a donut, I still haven't given in to the donut craving.

The going-away party was fun, my son made me chase him all over and still managed to spill the dog's water bowl and a full plastic cup of margarita. But he didn't pull the whole cake on the floor or fall in the pool so I'm considering it a win. I also got to tell three of my friends there about baby #2 and they were so excited for me
Today has mostly sucked. I was fine until I took a shower and either overheated or dehydrated or let my blood sugar get too low or all three? I had to chug a Gatorade and ate a protein bar and still felt dizzy, wound up taking an hour nap.
Still having terrible nausea and my son is napping late and my husband is at work. I need to start dinner but i have no energy and blehhhh

lakegirl, that sucks she didn't open gifts. I understand feeling uncomfortable but it's just tacky to me to NOT open the gifts when everyone is there. I'm sure she loved it though!
