Monday again randoms.

How do these always come around so fast?

So I can't really complain too much about Monday this week. I've been looking forward to this week for a long time - H and I are both off Wednesday- Friday, so we're painting our stairway and upstairs hallway Wednesday and Thursday. Then Thursday afternoon we're picking DS up from my mom's early and heading up to an indoor water park about an hour from our house for two nights! Even though it's not exactly a relaxing weekend we have planned, I'm super looking forward to a little break from real life

DD puked in her crib really early this morning so we had a hectic morning getting everything cleaned up + bath + a dog who decided to roll in mud and also needed a bath 🙄 Even though I figured was going to be late to work I still stopped for a mcdonalds pop. I was only a minute late though!

Typical Monday here. I need to run to the post office to mail my SIL's birthday present, but otherwise just work and baseball.

Rita's is giving away free Italian ices today, so we may swing by after practice.

I'm so behind this morning, and I have to be at work an hour early since we are down 2 additional people today.

I've been holding of on making J an appointment, but the cough he's had for 3-4 days (mostly at night) is getting worse. He hasn't had a fever or anything, but was snuggly this morning, which is odd for him.

Here!

So tired, S has been coughing in her sleep a lot, and even threw up from in on Saturday night, so any time I heard her cough, I was up listening to make sure she didn't do it again. DH got home really late from work lastnight/this morning, and was snoring so badly, I ended up on the couch, I couldn't handle it. Putting in my Starbucks order now...

I'm here! I got my lazy butt outta bed at 6 thins morning, worked for an hour, fed the cats, ran 3 miles and back to working again. I have my conference call for the week at 9:45...I dread these. Probably because they are an hour and a half minimum every Monday. Makes the day go by fast but I wish they would get the info together in a memo type doc and then we can all quickly review the "to do" for the week instead of languishing on the phone all morning.

Aw mrsmonogrammed, alayne926, musicfrk2002 hope they are better soon.

L waited in line behind DS today hugging her doll waiting for her doll to get her daily inhaler too lol! She looked so maternal, just proudly staring at her doll while I held the mouthpiece to her face then gave her a hug when it was done.

Pretty typical week ahead. Excited for spring!

[mrsmonogrammed]

@jemomma sorry M is sick, but happy date night! H and I just planned 2 because it's been awhile. We're going out Friday. Have fun tonight:)

[jillywilly]

Hoping all the sick babies feel better soon!

Also, I just got a very Monday call. My accountant just informed me that we're going to owe money for our taxes for the first time ever Apparently we got screwed because we barely paid property taxes last year with the timing of our move.

[tjanca22]

I'm here. We have friends coming over tonight for dinner. They are moving back to CA in a few weeks, so this was the only day that worked for all of us. I'm making steak and shrimp fajitas. That's what's getting me through my day!

Hopefully all the sick babies feel better soon. Cold and flu season can be over now 😕.

[veggiemo]

@jemomma, both my kids are super prone to croup as well. I think they sound a lot worse than they feel, I hope she is better soon!

So this is how my morning started. I took DS to school and then took LO to my in-laws house. Usually they come to me, but today we had planned it this way because of their scheduling. My SIL and her BF also live there. I walk in the door and my SIL comes out of the bathroom holding a bowl and saying her and her BF have been up all night puking and with diarrhea. Are you F-ing kidding me?? I'm literally supposed to be to work in 5 minutes and no one warns me of this??? I'm pissed. MIL says they will leave shortly to go to my house but at this point he's already been exposed already anyway. THEN my FIL says "well, if something is going around, DS will catch it anyway". Referring to the fact that my DS is in school so he is always the germ carrier. Ummmm that's not how it works. My nephew was at the movie theater yesterday where there are germs, and he was at swim school on Friday where there are germs, and he was at Target on Saturday where there are germs... I'm just pissed that they always seem to blame sickness on my DS because "he's in school".

Sorry for the rant. Carry on.

My sister had her baby on Friday, it was such an awesome experience being there with her. And of course her little guy is adorable! Gianna just adores him, it makes my heart swell.

My work week is going to be really busy. It's my first quarter-end in the new position, so I'm doing a whole bunch of processes for the first time.

We also need to pack up the kitchen this week and start demolition this weekend so the kitchen is cleared out for the contractor to start next Monday. I'm sooo excited that we're finally getting started on this!

[veggiemo]

Kristykristyleelee, that looks really good! I wish I wasn't so squeamish when it came to eggs or I would totally make that. I'm going out to dinner with a friend tonight. She picked the place and it's not my top choice but she's super pregnant so whatever she says she wants, I'm all in! I'm gonna get a veggie sandwich and some beer cheese soup. Food, yum.

Back to work today for the first time in a week. Trying to catch up on things that are mostly interview related. I'm revamping my resume which is less than fun. I really want to write something like "I'm awesome. Hire me and you won't regret your decision," but from what I understand that'd be slightly inappropriate.

Verizon said that they were overnighting my new phone on Saturday. They should have clarified that meant they were sending it out today so I'm phoneless until tomorrow evening. *grumblegrumbleFWPgrumblegrumble*

Here.
Long weekend was had. Saturday and Sunday were spent at Great Wolf Lodge with the in laws. C had a blast but spending that long with the in laws is exhausting.
I've already been into work and have all of that taken care of for the day. DH and I have been talking about getting a car so I got to go to the dealership and test drive a car right after I left work. I cannot wait for a "new" car. I was debating between 2 and they drive the same, one just has more bells and whistles (which we don't need) than the other. My choice has been made (and it will save us $4000) We also talked about just hiring someone to come in and fix the walls in the nursery instead of DH trying to do it. So I'll be contacting them shortly. I'm so ready to start putting that room together. Just have to get through fixing the walls, painting the room, fixing the door/doorframe and putting up new trim (all of which will be hired out to do).

Hope all the sick LOs start feeling better soon!

sabrinaml, ooh what kind of car? I was just going to ask how your trip to the Dells was? Did you do anything besides GWL?

Buick Enclave

The trip was good. We tried to time leaving home with C's nap. He only napped an hour (would have been longer but the other vehicle had to stop for a potty break and when we drove over the rumble bars getting into the rest stop it woke C up.) He loved the little slides in the different areas. Literally spent 2 hours in Saturday just going down slides. And another 2 hours in Sunday going down the same slides. We didn't do anything outside of the resort though. DH was already asking me what a regular room would cost (we had a suite that slept 6-8) because he wouldn't mind going back just our small family. He was exhausted when we left and was out about 2 minutes after being buckled into his seat.
We brought him up to the lobby for a bubble dance party around 7:25 Saturday evening and he enjoyed just running around. He didn't make it to story time though (8:15) he just wanted to run and there were way too many people up there.

DD was a level 12 clinger all weekend and I was stuck at work all day Sunday. BUTTTTT I wrapped up my second quarter of grad school and pulled another A. So I'm very excited to have some downtime now.

I practically ran out of the building after I dropped DD at DC this morning. Tried a new studio this morning for barre, got coffee, and am now going to town cleaning the house.

Lunch date with a friend at Zoe's Kitchen. I just discovered this place over the weekend and am now obsessed.

Happy Monday ladies! Make this week your bitch.

Yum! Enjoy lunch we love Zoe's kitchen. Turkey stack is my fave with the pasta salad.

I'm off to my girls trip to Oahu today! Just hanging at the vancouver airport for my 5 hour layover until we take off. DD is being great so far. Currently napping in the stroller while I eat lunch and TCF

Sorry for everyone's sick kids. I'm hearing it's the first day of spring today so hopefully the sick season will start to wind down soon

[tjanca22]

Sounds like C had a ton of fun sabrinaml!!
