That GIF sums up my life this morning. @katechristine18 . I woke up in a ball of anxiety at 2:45. When I finally really fell back asleep, it was time to wake up.

Morning! I didn't log back in yesterday, but they were able to do the skin testing for DS2 yesterday at the allergist. He's allergic to trees, grass, weeds and ragweed. So yay, he will be on meds year round. I'm glad we got some answers and hopefully he gets some relief. Thankfully no allergies to our pets!

I woke at 6 to go for a run for the first time ever. I have already showered, fed two kids, read my devotional, and had morning coffee. Plus, it was the perfect temp for running.
I'm so ready for the rain to be gone. I realized yesterday that I'm not too fond of spring. I'm sick of all the rain and when the rain lets up, I'm sick of all the pollen and allergies.
If someone could figure out a way to make it green and flowery without rain or pollen that would be great....
I was woken by Fin yelling "uh oh mama" over and over. She had her diaper off and was standing in a puddle. I need to get my head wrapped around potty training. But I don't wanna!
Jack is enjoying the over supply that eating a whole row of oreos gave me. He has been nursing now for 45 minutes. He typically is done in 20.
Rainy here today, so I'm thinking maybe I'll find a kid friendly exercise video so we call can get some steps in. Currently all camped out in my bed on our electronics. No good.
I'm going to take this post to mean oreos are galactogogues. Nom nom nom....

Guys, it's a miracle! After 4 long years, my weight is back in the 150's! It's only because I was sick an dehydrated, but I'm going to pretend it's because I've done really well at being healthy. Yay!
I came in to work today since I didn't want to miss another shift. I feel like death and have to go sit down every few minutes. I should go home but there's no one else to work and I don't want to screw everyone else over.
cornpop311, I agree with sharebear05, have a plan/goal of what you want to get out of your sessions. Maybe ask your husband what he would like to get out of them as well? You two could be on totally different pages (and that's ok!!) but at least you'll know where your goals lie. Try not to stress about it. If you have a list of grievances keep them in your head and try not to fire them off one by one. Prioritize them and maybe discuss one each session? The therapist may take the conversation in a direction you may have never even thought about, in a good way!
cornpop311, I'd say for the first session, don't bring a list. I think your DH may be on the defensive the entire time if you have a list of issues. Maybe see how the first one goes and possibly make some notes for the next one?

Just wanted to share my exciting news that I have joined LuLaRoe as a consultant and my Facebook group is up and running. PM me if you would like to join. We have 2 giveaways running right now and my launch party is next Saturday tentatively.
yesterday my team lead for SNHU told us that there is nothing wrong with getting "meets expectations" on evaluations from him because in order to get "exceeds" he has to see us going above and beyond the entire term. I got my eval this morning, exceeds expectations in all categories.
Got the house cleaning yesterday, had my car looked at, and had an awesome work out. Unfortunately, the place that looked at my car said I had to go to the dealership to have it fixed. Today is back to spring cleaning. Still working on the kitchen. Going to tackle the cabnets,fridge and scrubbing the hidden corners of the floor. Going for another work out tonight.

@traceyos how is Oh Crap potty training going? I'm off next week for 3 days and that plus the weekend, I'm thinking of taking the plunge....Ugh I don't want to do this!!! But, I also want it done!!!
We have another damn squirrel in our attic! Last time we spent $600+ trying to get rid of it, we were new home owners and found a regular old company and they were terrible!! Now it's likely we'll have to spend $1000+ to permanently fix the situation (and damage) with a better company. UGH!

Noooooo! How are they getting in?!
Our stupid roof!! I noticed one of the shingles near the eave was chipped away, Ive seen droppings on our outside stoop, then this morning I saw attic insulation all over the sidewalk. This damn squirrel has been the bane of my existence for YEARS! I know it's probably not the same one, a "bachelor" as the company referred to him as, but they're so ruthless around here!

cornpop311, are you ready for my cheesy therapist response?
The only thing you should bring is an open mind. Try to listen to your husband with an open mind and be willing to push yourself a bit through this process (therapy can be uncomfortable! But that's ok.. that's when the most change is happening).
Think about ways that you can take accountability for the issues in the relationship. Think about specific, tangible goals that will help you decide if things are moving forward/improving in a right direction. And lastly, think about all the reasons why you entered the marriage. Reflect on ways you have strayed from your original partnership (ways that you have changed, not only your husband).
This is just a few things that you can reflect on during the whole process. Not just before the first session. Relax, and let the therapist do the real work today!
Thanks for that italianmommy (and everyone else). I was just kidding about bringing a list of grievances, I wasn't really going to do that. But it is great to hear a little more about what to expect. I've never done any sort of therapist so I feel like I'm going into it kind of blind.
The first session is likely going to be a lot of paperwork and an explanation of the flow and format of sessions. The therapist will likely spend time gathering your histories and trying to build rapport. You may be asked to do some goal planning, but that may also wait until the next session. It's rare to get really into the "meat" of things during the first session - things tend to pick up steam a few sessions into things, once the couple feels more comfortable with the process and more at ease with their therapist.

That blows. Is the previous company's work under any sort of warranty? If so, I'd hunt them down (ha ha) after you get the new company in to see if the old company was negligent in any way (or if they caused any of the damage - they should pay up for it!) Sorry you have to deal with this pain in the ass stuff

It was a year or two ago and no warranty. I raised hell, but it did nothing. I had to release it.
