Hey Tuesday

[stinybean]

I'm tired. I wish I could go back to bed. Today is day one of state testing for my Littles (ESL). I don't think there's enough coffee to wake me up today. I really have to learn to stop sleeping so much on vacations, it totally messes me up when I go back to work. NAH! I'm not going to give it up. And there you have my Tuesday morning internal monologue.

I'm having the same problem. I passed V off to H and slept until 8-9 almost every morning. It was so lovely. This is pretty rough.

This should have been the start of summer, who needs 40 more days? #teacherproblems

Good morning! I got a ton done at work yesterday, so hoping that trend carries into today. Also, had some really good talks with our sales contact from the builder of the new house and our real estate agent, and even though it feels REALLY soon, we're being told to be ready to move in September. So our current house is going on the market in just under three weeks. Yikes. I just keep hoping we're able to somehow hit the real estate lottery and have our new house finish on time, and our current house sell quickly, but with new owners giving us occupancy until the new house is ready so that we don't have to move in with my parents. A girl can dream, right?

Good morning! I had a really crappy, exhausting weekend so I wasn't around. Last night B was up from 12:30 - 3 so I am tired. My dog is missing so we will be going out to look for her when B finally gets up. Weather is gorgeous so we will probably be outside most of the day.

May or may not have placed 3 orders at old navy/gap/banana republic yesterday....at least it was free 2-day shipping so things should start arriving at my door very soon!

Also didn't wash my hair this morning so I got to snooze an extra 15 min- woo!

[mrsmonogrammed]

Oh no mbjune13:( that's like my worst nightmare, hope you find your pup soon!!

[jessila]

mbjune13 , oh no! I hope you find your dog!! 

I got to hear my cousin's Air Force Band perform on a Kuwaiti radio station this morning. It was so great to hear her voice (speaking and singing). Technology is super cool.

Someone just knocked on my door and tried to come in but I'm pumping. I think they left. I'm not exactly sure who it was and if they were looking for me or my office mate.

ETA-my office doesn't really have flowing air. It's so humid and hot in here when I'm pumping. 

[mbjune13]

Thanks ladies! We are on a farm and she normally doesn't wander too far but she wasn't here when I got up so now I have to go searching. I don't know what time she took off so she could be anywhere. I'm scared to look on the highway.

[erbear]

Good luck finding your pup, mbjune13!

My mil is coming down today to watch LO tomorrow while h and I both work. H and I aren't comfortable leaving her with LO all day (mil is pretty frail and can't get up/down off the floor), so I'm going to have to work a half day tomorrow, which sucks. At least it's bogo chipotle day for teachers today!

Oh and after being awake for 1.5 hours last night, LO at least slept in until 7:30. she did great at the Pirates game last night (we did 2 innings)!

[sugarkissed]

Hope you find your pup mbjune13.

Kristykristyleelee, That is the sweetest thing! I can't wait to get kisses back.

Another warm day here. Normally I'd be thrilled, but my allergies are out of control this year so I kind of just want to hide inside. Anyone still breastfeeding with seasonal allergies? How do you cope? Can you take anything?

[erbear]

They're super addicting, @jemomma!

Btw, would you still be willing to send me some Jamberry samples? I was thinking about that while I had one messed up nail this morning.

[carolyngrace]

Trying to get up the courage to set up a meeting with my pastor. And then to talk to him about how he has seemed very frazzled and dropping balls all over the place. I'm involved with (and head up) two of his MANY projects/committees and have been frustrated for a while. But lately other people have been complaining to me too. So I think it's time to be direct. I will come from a place of concern but also don't want to be too wishy washy and not end up saying how I really feel.., have a nervous stomach about it!

[musicfrk2002]

So this BOGO at chipotle...do you have to show some sort of ID or do they just believe you if you say you're a teacher?

I got a smores frap yesterday at Starbucks and they gave me a free cookie straw. That was the highlight of my day. The rest was just a typical monday.

No plans just yet today. J is playing in his bedroom so I can sit on the couch normally for a change, instead of with my legs up so he can walk back and forth.

That sounds like a conversation that needs to happen... Although I get you on the feeling nervous about it. I hate confrontation...

[jillywilly]

Random I forgot about - not sure how many Premier League soccer fans we have (or are married to), but H has been obsessed with soccer since the last World Cup. Since the Bundesliga coverage leaves something to be desired here, he's gotten super into Premier League. Now he's completely obsessed with Leicester City (they just won the championship despite 5000:1 odds), and I have to admit, I totally got into it, too. I actually told H I was a little disappointed yesterday when I just saw that Tottenham lost against Chelsea, because I really wanted to watch them win their game next weekend to become champions. I'm not normally super into sports, but I'm a sucker for a good story.

Kristykristyleelee, aw, what a sweetheart! Is she feeling better?

@mbjune, hope you find your dog safe and well!

carolyngrace, good luck! That sounds like a difficult but necessary conversation.

Pregnancy tiredness is weird. Yesterday I was barely tired at all. Then L slept through, although I hardly dare mention it! And today I am so exhausted that I just fell asleep for twenty minutes while she was in the Jumperoo. It wasn't long enough but it was all I'm getting!

ETA: jillywilly, H loves (what we call) football and I used to follow it. I'm too tired these days to watch football matches! The rise and rise of Leicester City has been phenomenonal this season.

[wegrowsheep]

+ whatever to being exhausted. That's what I get for staying up late just to have me time.

The advantage of being a soccer/football fan in the US - games are often on in the mornings for us We normally have it on while having breakfast and puttering around the house getting ready for the rest of the day. Also, hope that pregnancy fatigue lets up for you soon - it was one of the only real symptoms I had with DS, but it was a killer!

[wegrowsheep]

@jemomma DD and I are rocking our LLR leggings today. SIL onboards in less than a week, so I've been holding off on getting anything else. My friend that sells them has literally started a shop on her property and has over 10k in her group on FB. Too crazy for me!

[tatersalad]

Dollar store balloons are the best.
mbjune13 I hope you find your dog soon. I'm getting sad just thinking about you looking for her on the highway...
Serious first world problems here. I finally have a day at home after a long weekend of volunteer shifts, and the cable is out. It went out yesterday and they can't fix it until tonight. It's raining and all I want to do is relax with some shows. TR is in serious teething hell and still hasn't cut his first teeth.
I may have to resort to lunchtime bathtub wine to go with my whine today.
ETA: What are these LLR leggings I've missed? Retail therapy makes everything better, even though I'm trying to cut back on spending while we build the new house.

mbjune13 hope you find your pup safe!

My husband got moved to night shift for the month, so I get to do dinner, bedtime, MOTN, and morning/drop off all by myself 4 days a week. This is going to totally suck.

[musicfrk2002]

J has fallen and smacked his head twice in 3 days now. Sunday forward into a shelving unit, today backwards in his crib. I'm going to start ordering tylenol in bulk.

You need an ID. And the line is always ridiculous. I did it a couple years ago and waited an hour. It wasn't worth the $7.50 that I saved. But it really ups sales for Chipotle on a random Tuesday in the year.

This was the majority of April for me with two kids. Sending all the wine to you!

[belle0720]

Morning guys! I'm creating a new Etsy shop to start selling those off-the-shoulder onesies and other baby clothes/accessories, I'm trying to think of a name and need help!

What I've come up with so far:

G. Allegra (cause I'm a proud mom LOL)
Tiny Babes
The Golden Pineapple
Pink Apple Juice
Lollipop Tribe

This just made me think, people in other countries who don't have graham crackers (and therefore no smores), do you have Starbucks by you? If so, is there a Smores Frappuccino? purple @hazeldublin sammyca

[mbjune13]

Thanks everyone! My dog was found in town. She went about 4 miles and followed a lady and her dog home. Instead of taking her to the pound they kept her in the back yard so we didn't have to pay anything and she made friends with a pug. Thank goodness I didn't find her on the highway.

Her not enjoying the car ride home

I haven't been to Starbucks for years and never paid any attention to the coffee menu when I did live near one. However, a quick check of the menu online suggests that chocolate marshmallow and banana caramel s'mores frappuccinos are both available.

[mrsmonogrammed]

belle0720 I vote the golden pineapple or the last one!
