happy friday at st patrick's day! my life is still packed in boxes and suitcases from our floor replacement, so i couldn't find anything green. i put on the ring MIL gave me as a gift after i had DD, which has 2 small emeralds on it. that counts right?!
the floors were finished wednesday, movers came yesterday, and we worked our tails off getting DD's room, new au pair's room, and the downstairs back to normal last night, so we are back in the house! SO NICE to be home after 3 weeks. i can tell DD is relieved too! picking up the new au pair at 5 this afternoon, and going to the rodeo to see willie nelson tomorrow. we still have a lot to do, but i'm not even stressed out because i'm so happy to be back at home.
i failed the one hour glucose screen, and was hoping the dr would let me skip the 3 hour and just monitor my blood sugar instead, but he said no.
kartish no green here. I clearly sucked at packing for this trip and forgot the green!
agm04. Yay for being in the house, even if you have a lot to do it must be a huge relief.
We are headed to the rodeo this afternoon. I am so excited. We aren't staying for the concert but we will do everything else including enjoying fried cheesecake and fried buckeyes and some darn good BBQ. I am so ready.
agm04 that counts IMO! Yay about getting back in the house! I hope for a smooth transition for you all with your new au pair. aggiebug enjoy! Food sounds delish seamonster love the shirt saying lol
I am wearing green bracelets. But that's pretty much it. We are going to a Mexican restaurant for dinner lol. Can you tell we are not Irish?! I am not in the party scene anymore so I'm not positive, but it seems like all the festivities around here were last weekend. I'm still not eating meat today (even though the pope pardoned us Catholics). It just feels wrong.
We have our first brood eggs! Two adorable white eggs! Buuuut, sadly, I just had to shoo a hawk away from them...wtf dude. Not in my yard buddy, not in my yard. Unfortunately I won't be able to guard them all the time 😢 I hope they make it!

Went out for New Mexican food at lunch with my team at the one place that actually does sopapillas for free after the meal. So good. But now I need a nap.

Busy busy busy day. Bumped into a friend after lunch and ended up chatting for two hours. DH took off work early & we went to see Beauty and the Beast, then to a restaurant we never tried, then out for froyo. Great anniversary :-) but then Mom called around 930 and said Gabe was rather upset and not falling asleep, so she brought him here. She's super bummed and afraid I'll never let him stay overnight again cause she "failed" at putting him down. I told her he's fine and she's fine and I'm glad they had a good day together, and I'm sure he'll be fine next time.

My dog is doing fine today. Apparently the vet took today off so I didn't get any answers when I called to ask how many teeth she actually lost yesterday. But I did have a very anxious vet tech call several times to keep me posted that the vet still hadn't returned her texts or phone calls. I'm supposed to hear from them Monday.
lilyelayne happy belated anniversary! I really admire how chill you are about so many parenting things. Obviously it wasn't your mom's fault, and you said exactly the right things. But you seem to always stay cool when I'd be a wreck!
Thanks guys. He's decided to start looking elsewhere for a job. He has been passed up several times and every time he has people from coworkers to management asking why he didn't apply. It's BS.
agm04 aw thanks. My mom lives about 15 minutes away so I knew it wasn't a big deal for her to run him home. And I have a sneaking suspicion if she'd been less nervous & more matter of fact that it was bedtime, G would've listed to her. But when he got home he was really snuggly and told me he missed me. This morning he's been telling me all about the fun things he did with my parents yesterday. :-)
H is home! DS was up for a 2.5 hours last night at midnight. And then slept in. Hopefully he'll start calming down. He kept getting close to staying asleep, but then wake up to check for me and get a second wind. Blah.
Swim lessons today and working in the yard. DS has been wanting to play with his water table so I'll clean that off and set it up. He and H can swim tomorrow afternoon.
Another work thing came up with DH today so he's on the phone helping troubleshoot since he's a manager. It's like, "can we have ONE day without a work issue taking you from weekend family time...?!?" Maybe a FWP but it gets frustrating when (almost) all of our time together is on the weekend.

I understand dreemkin. That's why I don't want to move in to management. I need my time away from work with my family and not have to be on constantly. Probably means that I'm not likely to move up either, but the company won't be there for me when I'm old.

We went swimming in our pool today without heating it. This is an extra hot March. Next week should be cooler and we'll be gone so it won't be an expectation just yet that we swim all the time again.
We just got back from am anniversary dinner - 60 years! I hope DH and I can celebrate that once day. The couple are so sweet and cute together, but I know they had rocky parts in their relationship along the way. Its so heartening to see the strength that comes from love and forgiveness.
LO won't stop taking off her diaper in the crib. And of course she has to do a little piddle!
Painters coming tomorrow! Our house is in shambles right now. We decided last weekend to take down the chair rail in the toy room. Then of course we had to patch it up ourselves. I think we've done a pretty good job. We also removed the intercoms upstairs. Dh watched a YouTube video about how to fill the hole with drywall and patch it up. For non-handy people we've done a good job. Looking forward to our house getting set to rights.
Went to my cousins baby shower today. We all have girls on that side of the family and looks like we are adding another for a total of 7!
