I had a dream that my MIL filed a 51a with CFS on DH and I because M's socks are always twisted (this never happens lol), because she likes to play on the bed and because she didn't wear black heeled shoes. WTAF brain?! I don't know where it came up with that stuff! I was so pissed at MIL and told her off. Such a crazy dream. Definitely not how you want to start the day, lol.

King cake looks delicious.
Today is donut day in Central PA! I was going to help my grandma make homemade donuts this year, until we realized that I would most likely have a newborn at the time. LOLOL how wrong we were. #slightlybitter

Oh man. Days never move slower than the end of pregnancy. You will DEFINITELY be holding a baby very, very soon though! I'm amazed at how productive you still are!
I'm cranky this morning and feel complainy. The natural solution is to call the gf bakery in town and see if they have King Cake that I can pick up on my way home. Right?
YES.
DH hates king cake. I wish I could just buy a slice. Personal size cakes should be a thing!
I saw that some places where making king cupcakes. Surely if I can find these in Indiana you can find them out east. They are not the same thing but it is like a personal sized cake.
I'm in this funk I can't shake with so much going on at work and home. We've got a big doctor's appointment for my mom and work is chaos as per. I spent the evening ordering stuff for Easter baskets. I guess I checked something off my list, at least?

I slept like crap. Right before my alarm went off I had a dream that E stuck her foot in the toilet and then her shoe was wet and H was mad at ME about it when he was supposed to be watching her. So we got into a big fight. Then my alarm went off.
Update on my grandma: The anaesthesiologist advised against surgery (which I was kind of hoping for, because why go through that when you're going to die right away, but I wasn't going to tell my mom that). She has a really nice room in palliative care. 3/4 of her children are there with her, the fourth arrives today. Mom says she is comfortable and having a great time visiting with everyone. I think the last time all 4 of them were in the same room was when my grandpa died almost 20 years ago. So I guess the situation is as good as it could be? The doctor says it's a guessing game now how long she has, somewhere between 1 and 2 weeks. Thank you very much for the condolences.
tl;dr: grandma is resting comfortably in palliative care. She gets to say good bye to all of her children.
W decided 530 was an acceptable wake up time. I'm exhausted.
We get our new furnace today and it's supposed to be almost 60° again...but rain, so boo to not being able to play outside while they are here. Apparently it's an all day kind of thing.

catladymeow I'm also glad she's not having the surgery, but I'm very sorry for your (impending) loss. The waiting is weird and hard. My thoughts are with your family.
Our plan today is to take a road trip to satisfy our Red Robin craving. It's about an hour away. During this trip I will be going shopping at Target. It's a rainy day, so in my opinion, a great day for doing inside things like this.

You have too much faith in my area. We're not far enough north for good Italian food and not far enough south for soul food. The food scene here is pretty disappointing.
Truer words have never been spoken. Id kill for great slice of pizza and a decent cannoli!

How is this possible? That is sad and disappointing.
Today begins a week or more of being smothered by grading.
I'm sort of irritated with my former boss/coteacher/mentor. Last year the dept had a full time instructor position that I applied for and because of funding it was canceled but I was told unofficially that I would have had the job. Well...I was alerted by a higher ed job search website that they relisted the position and it closes tomorrow. I have not been told by anyone in my dept that it was opened up again. My mentor was all about me getting the position before and this year we aren't co-teaching together so I never see her. I had no intention of applying because I love my split appointment with SNHU but I'm bitter that they didn't even shoot me an email saying it was open.
I am totally procrastinating right now. I want to plan a vacation to somewhere tropical. Then I remember that all my money is tied up in daycare and diapers.
@katechristine18 You're allowed to have those days- but I hope it doesn't last long.
pixiepink24 I was looking for some stuff for work on teacherspayteachers and thought of you. There's a bunch of free early ed stuff that you could print out to use for your structured unstructured lessons and someon on Facebook told me about this site:
Whew. I was thinking today was off to a bad start, but then I remembered it could have been SO MUCH WORSE and I've decided it's a good day.
When I was packing up L's lunch bag for school today, I heard the terrifying silence of "no toddler sounds", and lo and behold, instead of getting her shoes and bringing them to the kitchen, she trotted through the open gate and up the stairs to "practice" going back down them. I thanked God profusely that she was just pleased as punch sitting on the top of the stairs and unharmed by her/my bad decisions, and off we went to school.
I was worried I'd feel weird about school today, and I guess I do, but she loves that place so much, that as a colleague pointed out, until the cons outweigh the pros, I'll just try to make do with the anxiety.
I also still feel like crap, am worried I'm getting pink eye, and used a little cup to dump breast milk into my eye this morning, in the hopes that if it is the beginning stages of pink eye, that will knock it out. I felt like a hippie weirdo, but I've been to urgent care twice in the last week, so if I can avoid another visit, that will be a win.
