10 Things Thursday

[thatgirlrachel]

1. I am playing catch up from being out of the office yesterday. Yay.
2. I thought I lost my Fitbit so I bought a used one on Ebay...then found my old one. H now has a new (to him) Fitbit.
3. It's supposed to be overcast/rain here all day.
4. I need to make a Carter's order soon because we are moving into 12 month clothes.
5. I have challenged myself to use my lunch break to walk on our indoor track to help get my step count up...it's pretty sad right now.
6. I got home from training early yesterday so I finally got EG's baby book caught up.
7. Our 9 month pictures were Tuesday and I seriously can't wait to see them. I will be AWing!
8. My to-do list getting longer and longer as I type this...so I need to wrap it up!
9. I am beyond excited for the 3 day weekend coming up!
10. I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

1. I got all my nieces and nephews Christmas gifts yesterday
2. I placed a masive kohls order with a bunch of stuff (mostly carters jammies) for LO with a 40% off coupon (also the reason for #1); she's just getting in 3-6m stuff now, I thought she'd be moving into 12M stuff for fall, so I'm working to fix the seasonality of her wardrobe
3. H is in the dog house, he knows it
4. we're heading to the opening of a new craft store this afternoon
5. I'm procrastinating working on several complicated projects at work
6. i'm going to get more coffee
7. If H gets a new job I'm going to try to strategize taking 2-3 months off between when I leave my current job and start whatever is next
8. i really need to clean up my e-mail
9. I'm still struggling with my mid-week runs for our half-marathon, and I'm starting to see the impact of that on my weekend long runs
10. I'm resigning from the BOD for the NFP i serve on because the director is disrespectful and rude and I don't have time for that.

1. I finally scheduled my yearly physical for tomorrow afternoon.
2. My previous GP is no longer with the practice so I'll be seeing a new one tomorrow.
3. A friend who I haven't seen in years is in town for business and will be staying with me tomorrow night until Saturday night. I imagine there will be lots of wine in our future.
4. I need to buy an air mattress for said friend. Any recs?
5. DD starts ballet in a couple of weeks so I need to get my butt in gear and buy ballet clothing and shoes.
6. I can't wait for Fall consignment season. My first one is next week already so I'm looking forward to buying Fall/Winter clothing for DD.
7. Excited for the 3 day weekend coming, mainly because we have absolutely nothing planned.
8. I've had 2 breakfasts today and I'm already hungry for lunch.
9. I'm running out of things to say.
10. Have a great day!

1. I really hope there is nothing wrong with my car.
2. I hope we get a new washing machine soon.
3. DD1 has wet the bed the last 3 nights, making a new machine imperative!
4. I feel bad at how frustrated I get when M is up in the middle of the night and I know it's because she doesn't feel well, but I just can't.
5. I have several HFM sores that are still very painful. Scab over already!
6. I'm so glad DD1's camp is going well this week.
7. DH and I need a date soon.
8. We are going to move M into C's room in the next couple of months.
9. We are going to decorate (paint and likely a new dresser, and curtains, etc.) ! I never did a nursery for either of them, so this is kind of fun.
10. We were supposed to have gorgeous weather all weekend and it looks like we are going to have Hermine now. GO OUT TO SEA!

byjove, We're also planning on moving LO to DD's room eventually. Just can't decide when would be a good time to do so. We almost have their bedtimes at the same time, but DD's 1 nap in the afternoon is still not in sync with LO's afternoon nap. I'm gonna be following your journey on this to see how it pans out for you.

Yeah, bed times are no where near each other, which is the biggest issue. We were really encouraged on our trip last week when we were all in the same room and M's wakeups didn't phase Clara at all. We can only get them to nap at the same time in the afternoon if we are in the car... so, lol. We're just going to roll with it.

1). DD2 doesn't have an ear infection so the dr said it could be hand foot mouth or roseola.

2). Not looking forward to another weekend of dealing with hfm but at least H will be home.

3) I'm holding DD2 while she naps and her fever definitely spiked again, I can feel how hot she is. Tylenol when she wakes up.

4. I'm so thankful DD1 still takes naps and they last 2 hours. She is only 2.5 but it's nice.

5. DD2 has big feet like her sister but does not like sleepers so I just ordered her 2-piece 12 month pjs. They should be here today.

6. Since this is our last kid I am trying not to buy more stuff but my sil just had a girl so I feel ok since I'm giving them to her.

7. I really like target's boyfriend shirts and have bought a few until I lose the rest of the weight.

8. I will be getting new, nicer quality clothes when I get to my goal weight.

9. I really hope DD2 has just a virus and not hand foot mouth so we can avoid the throat sores.

10. She woke up and is at 102, poor thing is miserable. I hope her fever will break soon.

1. MIL got C down for a nap, I am so relieved. I thought I was going to have to go in & let him sleep on me when I need to be working.
2. I am SO excited for the construction zone birthday cake I'm making for my nephew this weekend!
3. Labor Day weekend is one of my favorite. My aunt throws an awesome party each year, and the air show is in town & you can see the planes from her yard.
4. I think we are going to try to take C to Oktoberfest at the fairgrounds this weekend. I shall have a beer!
5. There were three pregnant women in the waiting room at my OBGYN this morning. I felt jealous. Bah.
6. I am hating wearing my glasses until this eye infection clears up. I am so not used to it.
7. My cat has the WORST gas. I've had to leave the room twice so far today to let the smell go away. Gross!
8. I can't wait until we finish our three-seasons room (carpet is getting installed in a couple weeks). We thought we'd get to enjoy it all summer but it's taken forever... I'm glad it'll be ready in time for fall, though!
9. I just booked family photos for mid-October. The leaves should be changing by then and I can't wait to see how they turn out.
10. I am just realizing as I read this thread that I have hardly any clothes for C at the next size up. We bought some footie pajamas on sale a month or so ago, and I have a pack of plain white Carter's onesies... but that's pretty much it.

mimimama, we have this air mattress, and it's really nice.

[mimimama]

geners, Thanks for air mattress rec. Hopefully it's in store and I can grab it tonight. Friend gets here tomorrow.

baylorbear, If I had to pick between HFM and Roseola, I'd pick the latter. The rashes after are so much more bearable than HFM. Hope the fever breaks soon. Poor pumpkin.

1. I just bought M a bunch of clothes from Carters/Osh Kosh in 12m for Fall. I feel like he still needs more.
2. I work in an office of 15 people. One guy's wife is due in February and two of the women are due in March. I am jealous.
3. I should be pumping right now but I am wasting time because I really hate it.
4. Speaking of pumping...I finished the whole series of The Office while pumping since coming back from maternity leave. Now I am watching The Sopranos. Sometimes I
take a little extra time at the end to finish an episode.
5. My H drives a real piece of shit commuter car because it gets good gas mileage and it has no car payment. He just paid $500 to have something repaired last week
and now it will probably last forever. When we buy a new car, I will drive the new car and he will get mine. I was secretly hoping his car would cost a ton to
fix so we would be forced to buy a new car even though we can't really afford a big car payment right now.
6. I will have owned my house for 10 years this coming April. We keep talking about buying some new/bigger but I can't bring myself to seriously think about it
because I love my house and it is mine, even though I know if we have another baby we will need more space.
7. I am super overqualified for my job but I stick around because it is easy and there are some good benefits.
8. We are getting M's passport stuff all submitted tomorrow and I am super excited. I didn't have a passport until I got married 5 years ago so I think it is so
cool he is getting one as a baby.
9. We are driving up to my ILs on Sunday for a visit. Ugh.
10. I hate when I have 10 things in a list and the numbers never line up correctly.

1. Did one round of purchases from Carters for Emma in 12 months and some 18 months. I think another is needed with the current sale. Might as well by 18 months because the way she is tracking she will be in them by December.
2. Coming with a cold. Right now not too bad except for my glands. I hope it stays like this and doesn't get worse.
3. Loving the cooler weather. I hope it sticks around next week.
4. DH keeps playing around with the idea of getting a convertible. This has been his pet project for a year now. Apparently went to sit in one yesterday. The deal is to sell the Mercedes with no money outstanding and I will get a mini van and he can get the convertible. I need a vehicle he doesn't care if Emma, the dogs or myself trashes and a minivan would be more accessible. But the Mercedes has the highest safety rating out there. No way we can do the convertible and the SUV.
5. Speaking of vehicles, my dad took the truck to replace the brake lines. It has been a month now and haven't gotten it back. Last thing I heard it was done but needed to be test driven. I am a little scared why we don't have it back yet.
6. I wish I could get in better shape. This is the greatest lack of muscle I have ever had. It is ridiculous.
7. Really getting tired of pumping, MOTN pump, and Emma up all night. Called a sleep consultant to come in and help but didn't follow up after talking to her. She questioned my lack of desire to let her cry at all. Suspect we wouldn't be on the same page. Sigh, oh well.
8. I am just doing some coffee now, haven't been a fan of it ever. Tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte the other day. I don't get it, it taste like regular coffee. Nothing compares to my 6 pump, no water, skim Chai latte.
9. I went for two CHRO positions, didn't get either one. Licking my wounds a bit and decided to jump enjoy the benefits of my current position and Emma. Need a coach or mentor to help get to the next level.
10. Emma is napping and I am actually laying down relaxing. This never happens.
