I'm taking Charlotte to the doctor this morning. She got a bad bruise on her arm, we think from when she went limp noodle/didn't want to be picked up while we were taking her out of the bath, and DH grabbed her arm tightly so she wouldn't slip and crack her head. Anyway the bruise is gone but now there's a lump under the skin, like a cyst feeling thing that you can roll around. Visible from outside as a raised lump. It's freaking me out. Taking her to the doc to see what it is just in case. Hope everyone's Tuesdays are ok.
bkmama0, LT for hugs. I'm sure she's fine and hopefully the doctor will agree!
Today is going to be massively busy for me. I have a lot on my plate at work (as usual), specifically this one opposition that I need to finish drafting ASAP. But first I have a deposition out of the office, which is going to put a big dent in the time I have for motion drafting.
Then at 5:30 I have a meeting for a committee I'm chairing for the Women's Bar Association. It's for their annual gala which this year is taking place precisely 12 days after my due date lol

We ended up getting a last minute settlement for our small claims case last night. We took it. It wasn't as much as we were hoping for, but it mitigates any potential loss and is an end to what has been almost a three-year ordeal. James ended up taking today off anyway to just hang out at home and destress. I hope it will be good for him and he will be less wound up because of it.
shannjohnston congrats! I was wondering if it was the same case you mentioned last year. dashook FX your day is super productive! bkmama0 hope that bump is nothing!
bkmama0 I hope that the bump turns out to be just a bump!
shannjohnston sorry it wasn't as much as you wanted, but congrats nonetheless!
dashook wishing you productivity and whatever is the pregnant lady version of an afternoon pick me up! How are you feeling?
littlelion how are you feeling? From what I've read over the last few weeks you haven't getting much sleep! I hope last night was more restful.
AFM, I quit my job yesterday. It's a long story, but it was a big mess where I was and school is beyond intense right now and I need to put my focus there, along with on my family. I left on good terms and have an open invite to return so that feels good.
I'm off to get all the coffee and study. I will catch you all later!
Good morning all! bkmama0 hopefully it is just a bump left over from the bruise! LO has had a couple of those, they are scary for sure and I always get them checked out. dashook you are one busy lady! GL getting everything done. shannjohnston glad you got it settled but sorry it wasn't as big as you wanted. kcrus sorry it came to quit my your job, but glad it was on good terms. You got to do what is best for you.
AFM I have been buried under orders for the shop. I thought it would be fun to be getting orders coming in everyday... I was wrong. I now am doing them late into the night and still doing the parenting thing during the day. I might have to change my ship by dates to give myself more time. Anyway I have been stalking and LTing but not able to post.hope everyone has a great day.

Dh lost his car keys so he took my car to work. So now I'm bored and stuck at home all day. I'm hoping my neighbor friend wants to hang out, but I haven't heard back from her so it looks like she might be busy.
Our poor doggie has fleas so he's in the cone of shame. I'm hoping his treatment drops kick in soon.
kcrus, my afternoon pick me up today will be a green smoothie--yum! I'm feeling great, besides busy. That's big news about your job. Awesome that you have the invite to return but I'm sure it's bittersweet nonetheless. nemomof2, it's great to busy (beats the alternative?) but it's totally a blessing and a curse! If you need to alter your shipping dates, I say do it. You don't want to burn out and you need to take care of yourself first!

Hey friends Seems like there's all kinds of crazy news going on in here this morning.
Not much here. Em slept in late thankfully. She was sooo tired yesterday. Her rash doesn't seem too much worse & she's actually eating her breakfast so that's a win in my book.
I'm just frustrated because I booked some daycare slots this week so I could actually do school work. Now I feel like I shouldn't take her because I don't want to expose the other littles to whatever bug she has. Ughhhh
Phew it is just a lump of scar tissue left from a bad bruise. It might stick around for a while but nothing to worry about. I dropped LO off at DC and now working from my laptop in a cafe. It's really nice! But how many cappuccinos is too many cappuccinos??? Only one way to find out.
BabyStandish poor pup- fleas are the worst! kcrus I'm sorry about the job, but hopefully you can focus on school and home without that as added stress dashook let's hope baby is on time 12 days after! Whoa! bkmama0 I am glad ch's arm is ok! There can never be too many cappuccinos. nemomof2 I'm glad your shop is busy but doing it late night stinks. Change your ship dates! shannjohnston I'm glad you got a settlement and can end that long ordeal! raven how are you today? ourcrazynavylife my LO has mystery rash like at least one every two weeks. I'm glad she slept in for you!
AFM I'm swamped with assessment and report cards at work. DH is on a business trip and my mom (regular childcare) is also away. FIL to the rescue. Also they ripped out insulation at my house today and now I can't get to my fridge in my makeshift garage-kitchen.
Late check in for me. Darn work. I got to start freezing meals or something over the weekend. I have a meal plan for the week but last night I took too long cooking that by the time dinner was ready, Leo was full from all the snacking. oops.
kcrus, I am feeling good. But sleep is still a struggle. If it's not me, it's Leo waking me up. Glad you made the choice to lessen the stress in your life! BabyStandish, poor doggy nemomof2, don't work too hard! But hooray for increasing sales! sgio7485, when does your summer vacation start?
Busy busy busy day! We leave tomorrow (hoping noon) to head to Moab, UT for our annual rafting trip! I'm looking forward to it after everything that's been going on here. We will be surrounded by loving and supportive friends who will understand and care. There is one I'm worried about, and I've already expressed my concern to DH. When we told this guy we were expecting again, he apologized to me. Jerk! Just because you don't want kids, doesn't mean you get to pass judgement on me for having them! I told DH if he says something I don't like, I might snap and just start laying into him. Sorry, end mini rant. Anywho, chili is simmering away and will freeze overnight in a gallon ziploc bag for easy transport. Cornbread muffin mix made, biscuit mix made, coffee cake made. I still have to head over to the storage unit and look for our camping totes. I needs my marshmallow roasters!! Everything is looking good to go!
sgio7485 I'm doing okay, thank you for asking. Getting ready for this camping trip is helping me not dwell on things.
Late checking in today too. It feels like fall out today and I'm loving it. Had lots of running around to do today and now we're all cuddled up on the couch watching Sesame Street before lo goes to bed.
bkmama0 I'm glad the bump turned out to be nothing! Lo has had a few little bumps that I knew were from his vaccines but freaked me out anyways. Did you figure out how many coffees is too many? dashook hope you made it through your busy day! shannjohnston hope YH is feeling better. Congrats on the settlement, but sorry it wasn't as much as you expected. kcrus I'm glad you feel better after quitting, and that it was on good terms. Good for you for knowing when to walk away and take care of yourself! nemomof2 I'm glad the shop is doing well, but sorry you're feeling so swamped! BabyStandish poor baby! He looks so sad in his cone. ourcrazynavylife glad Em's perked up a bit. Did her temp come down? Hopefully it was just some quick virus. sgio7485 I chuckled at your mystery rash comment because lo has had his fair share of weird random rashes too. Glad we're not the only ones. I blame dh- his skin is ridiculously sensitive, so I assume lo inherited his. And sorry for all the wedding drama! Good luck with assessments and report cards. This time of year is always nuts for teachers! littlelion hope you're able to start getting some better sleep soon! raven I'm glad you have this trip to look forward to and that you have a good support network. Hopefully the jerk will be on his best behavior while you're there. Is lo going with you guys?

Super late check in here! Stiiilllll waiting to hear from MH's interview and getting nervous...praying its a stupid holdup and he gets it and finds out like tomorrow! Computer server went down at school and had me on the phone with IT for over two hours...not originally how I planned to spend the day...womp womp But my last day of school is Fri and I took B to the 8th grade dance tonight all dressed up. They are such a sweet class and I am really going to miss them next year, and I also have some good AW pics of B for tomorrow! Sorry for any run on sentences and for not responding to everyone...I've gotta get to bed! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up tomorrow. Wishing sleeping toddlers tonight and hot coffee with happy babes for the morning!
The worst part of waking up motn is I feel hungry. I never know what I want and usually don't give in to eating. So then I just imagine what kind of breakfast I want. Which makes me hungrier. :/
ashlantic I am enjoying the cool summer weather too. It makes taking my long lunch walks more doable...I hate sweating and going back to work. reginaphalange3 So much luck to YH! Hope you hear good news tomorrow! My dh got a call from his old company which I hope works out. His landscaping hrs are brutal.

A quick, small bowl of cereal was always my go-to. And then I got the extra bonus of being less Barfy in the morning. I hope you were able to fall back to sleep!
