DD is in a horrible mood today. I'm guessing teething bc she didn't sleep well last night either. Gave her a half dose of Ibuprofen and put her down 30 min early for her nap. Hoping she takes a nice long nap and wakes up in a better mood.
pismoduo, graysweater, isn't it? It makes me want to read the book that tells the story of that woman. I know it is probably just dust or something but it would make for such a great story.

We just spent the weekend up in a tiny town for my grandpa's surprise 80th birthday party. I'm so glad I want the only one who thought it was a bad idea to yell surprise at him. Even he said he thought he may have needed help to get his heart going again. But it was good. The brisket was the best brisket I've ever had. *drool*
The children's room had an event going on with a robotics guy. They asked him what supplies he needed, he said none.
He shows up 5 minutes before the presentation and was like "yo, I need a power strip". So they got him one. Then he said, "I need a screen." So they got him the portable screen. Then he said, "oh, I need a projector too "
So they call me, since I'm the tech person and say, "what are the chances that you can get a portable projector up here, working, set up, with his presentation ready to go in less than 5 minutes?" My response, "less than O..."
I ended up getting everything ready in a record time of 8 minutes (yes I was timing myself). Now I have a splitting headache, but my boss thinks I'm the best person ever. So... yay?

I manage the auditorium at my school and absolutely hate when this happens! It's so annoying! Sorry you've had a bad Monday and hope your headache goes away!

I just had the most bizarre phone call with some girl at the CVS specialty pharmacy. I was just calling to get a price for Ovidrel because it's not supposed to be covered but was only $30 when I bought it last January. I ended up discussing fertility treatments with the girl on the phone and explaining how things like IUI and IVF worked. She told me that she was given up for adoption but was actually conceived via fertility treatment. I'm wondering if she was actually a donor egg baby but I didn't feel like going down that road with her. I apparently made her day. The only problem is I got off the phone with her and completely forgot to get the pricing. Oops.
ETA: She also asked where we do the shots for IF drugs and was happy that it's in the stomach because "that would hurt in the lady bits".

JustJudy, sorry to hear that your mom needs another surgery. T&P that she gets through it OK. It must be so difficult dealing with your mom's illness when you're not right there every second. It's good she's feeling optimistic.

I had a fun, social, busy and productive weekend. I'm now totally wiped out. Even caffeine is not helping! I have gotten only the bare minimum done today, or maybe not even that.
I stopped and got an Oreo shake from Burger King today. It was yummy, but now I feel like this bird. Lol *SNIP*
I'm in a similar boat. I've been really trying to clean up my diet lately. But yesterday I had a severe hankering for some sticky toffee pudding. Between that and homemade vanilla ice cream that went on top of it, I most definitely did not eat healthy last night.

kayladawn91, that pic is exactly where I am right now. I need to lose a few pounds, but I have a huge sweet tooth and a lot going on in life right now, and it's hard to make dieting a priority. Ugh.

I worked out for the first time in a few weeks and while it sucks doing it I always feel better physically/mentally afterward. Hoping I can keep my head in the game and work out at least 4 times a week from here on out. Might be wishful thinking with all the visitors that are coming this month!
JustJudy Sorry that your Mom needs more surgery. I can only imagine how hard it must be to A) have your mother going through that and B) not being close by to help out.
goldenlove3 That sounds like an entertaining phone call! "lady bits" made me lol
