TTT 4/7

[ajaan113]

Happy Tuesday!

1. It's spring break. 

2. One week is not long enough. I need a week to catch up and plan ahead for work/school. A week for fun. Summer break will be here soon.

3. DS got a tool set from my dad. DS got his tools and went to "help" my dad put together a dresser.

4. DS can spend all day outside if we let him. He is happy just sitting on the front steps.

5. Is it bad to count down the days to summer vacation? I like teaching but strongly dislike the school and grade level team I work with. 

6. Luckily I am transferring to a new school by being a "voluntary" involuntary transfer. 

7. DS is napping in my arms. That's is his favorite place to nap. It's lunch time and I am hungry.

8. I love having my parents here. They are visiting for three weeks. I love having the extra help with DS. 

9. I hope it stays dry this week. We want to take DS and my parents to the National Zoo. 

10. Still need to get our taxes done.

1. I started watching Teen Mom and I'm hooked. There are 9 seasons on amazon and for some reason I started watching at season 5 and I'm not letting myself backtrack at all because I really don't want to be hooked for that many seasons.

2. DH is just getting over being sick and now DD has a cough. It's just a horrible cycle.

3. MIL drives me nuts sometimes.

4. I wish MIL would stop judging DH and I on our parenting. 

5. MIL responded with a "haha" when she found out the potential name of her sons baby that's on the way. It's a very well known name and nothing that sounds funny. So rude and insensitive!

6. Sorry for the above rants, I just needed to get that out since I don't really want to bring it up with DH and get even more upset.

7. I hit my running mileage goal for last month and I'm so proud of myself! I made a new goal that will end in the fall and I'm excited to try and reach that too!

8. DD is also loving being able to play outside. This summer is going to be a blast now that our LO's are a lot more active!

9. I saw our local ice cream stand open this past weekend. I can't wait to walk down on a hot summer day!

10. We are thinking of putting up some privacy trees in our back yard this year. I wish we would have done it the first year we moved in because by now they'd already be mature. Hopefully we'll be able to get some fast growing ones!

ETA: deleted the detail of 2 of my MIL rants because after I have vented about all that I realize how obvious my identity would  be now.

1. I just got home from the gym. It was really hard today. It might be time to accept my third trimester defeat.

2. I got Subway on the way home, because I love deli meat and can't imagine going 9 months without it.

3. They never put enough veggies on my sub and I'm always too nice to ask for extra afterwards.

4. Easter was so much fun with DD! Unfortunately her older cousins stole most of the eggs before she had a chance, but she enjoyed the few that she did find.

5. I ate way, way too much chocolate this weekend after going without it for Lent.

6. Our anniversary is next Sunday! We are leaving DD with the grandparents and going to a really nice hotel in the mountains for 3 whole nights! I'm so excited!

7. Today would have been my Grandma's birthday, so she's weighing heavy on my mind. I'm hoping that I can convince DH to use her name as new baby's middle name.

8. My weird neighbour got a hot tub and put it in his garage. So now he always has friends/random women over and since they are out front in the driveway my dog goes nuts.

9. We've been SUV shopping! I'm so happy that I've finally convinced DH that it would be good for us to have a bigger vehicle.

10. In the event that I end up with another csection, I'd hoped that MIL would take DD for the first week that DH goes back to work, just to make things a bit easier for me and to give her the attention that she deserves. When DH mentioned that, his mom suggested that she just come stay here instead. I don't want her here, we don't have the space and she doesn't understand privacy. I know that she'll just want to cuddle the newborn while I try to look after DD. I don't know if I'm just being really selfish and irrational here…

1. Ashley is at the point where she will feed Kayla Cheerios if I ask her to.

2. We just had four tremendous trees removed from our front lawn. There is one massive one in the back yard that is going to be removed too. I can't get over how different it looks when I peek out the windows.

3. DH's job is demanding 20 hours of OT per month. Which means he's working most Saturdays. I'm pissed because, while the money is good, I'm tired of losing half the weekend with him and losing the extra hands to help with the girls.

4. Thanks to my Kindle, I've actually gotten a fair amount of reading done in the last few months.

5. I just upgraded my phone to the Galaxy 5 in January. I already feel ready to upgrade to the 6 when it comes out, but I'll probably wait a few months while any bugs/problems are worked out.

6. I want to play my Legend of Zelda games for the Wii, but I have no desire to swing my arms around like I'm handling a sword. Who has the energy for that?

7. I want to see Jurassic World. I know it will probably suck, but I NEED to see those dinos on the big screen.

8. I've been putting Pokémon on for the girls on Netflix (the original series) and I've been totally enjoying it.

9. Easter was Sunday and so far I haven't had any Cadbury eggs. I'm not sure if that's sad or awesome for my willpower.

10. I need to clean my house, but I'm exhausted.

[fiveohfive]

1. I took the day off work today to get shit done before baby #2 comes.

2. It's 10:00 and other than waking up for an hour to eat breakfast and help get DD ready for the sitters, I've been snoozin'

3. Plan for the day: car wash/interior detail, target baby run, Verizon, babies r us, clean our upstairs as much as I can, and pack my hospital bag finally.

4. DD1 came at 38 weeks which is 5 days from now. Ahhh.

5. Unlike @twinstars I've eaten an insane amount of Cadbury eggs. 12 to be exact! They are my fave.

6. DD wants to walk everywhere now instead of using her stroller. Im glad she is getting taller so I don't have to bend down so far to hold her little hand.

7. I don't have 10 things today :/
