We had DD's appointment today. Her blood glucose levels came back normal at 81. The doctor said her drinking so much is a habit. I feel relieved, but also bad because I helped her form this habit.

I said this already, but I'm glad she's ok! What a relief for you. Don't be too hard on yourself. ETA: I'm sure we all have things we wish we would have done differently. It's hard to see in the moment how some things are going to effect our LOs later on. I apparently let my kid drink too much milk...no one is perfect!
I went into the attic last night to dig out the Halloween decorations and saw an unknown household resident staring at me (much like this):
Now I love mice, rats, etc. but DNW a mouse in my creepy attic staring at me while I'm already freaked out by said creepy attic. I would rather build him a nice, contained, entertaining environment that we can both enjoy having him in.
My week is starting to get better! I won on a scratch off this morning, got good news at work, and got a positive OPK. Let's hope I can make it through the day unscathed!
We finished paying off all credit card debt yesterday , set up a budget for Christmas and our Anniversary (12/27), and were able to pay for a cruise for my birthday in February. Dave Ramsey is the best.
lgraceh, That's awesome! We are making our final CC payments next month. I can't wait!
badwolf, I agree with you. DNW houseguests like that.
I'm supposed to be in a staff meeting, but I just found out that it's been pushed out indefinitely. Since I've been in the office since 6 a.m., I'm about to heat up my lunch. I am starving!!!!!!!!
lgraceh isn't that the best feeling in the world? We paid all ours off a couple years ago. It was so freeing. We're working on a plan now to pay off our student loan debt. *sigh* DH often will say, "Do you know how rich we'd be if it wasn't for our student loans?" Yeah dude. I do know. Don't remind me.

DS has been a grump all morning so I sent him outside with DH to rake leaves. I'm drinking tea and just finished the first episode of AHS: Freakshow. I think I am going to do the first episode of Hotel next because I got it free on iTunes last week.
Our internet is so strange. It is super slow so streaming usually doesn't work (read: no more Apple TV) but Prime instant things load and work fine but going directly to a channel's website and trying to watch stuff equals crappy quality and constant buffering. But I can use all of the channel's apps on my phone and get perfect quality and the episodes load (and I am not using LTE, still on our wireless). What the eff?!
Basically I miss Apple TV but I will take what I can get!

Congrats on no debt, lgraceh! Congrats on the director position, starbuck27! Sorry for the sad milestone, singingsea. Big hugs to you. penguin129, I'm so happy your daughter is fine!
I signed up to work tonight, for the first time in about 2 weeks. In April, I stepped down from my supervisor position and went back to beside nursing on a contingent basis. I started out working 1-2 nights every week but now it's only 1, and sometimes I don't work at all. DH is to the point he'd rather have me SAH FT but I just can't seem to bite the bullet. I'm so conflicted because I love what I do, but I also love being with DS more. Financially, we don't rely on my income. All my pay goes to savings/paying our student loan debt down faster.
The flexibility of my contingent position is awesome so I'm fairly certain for now I'm going to stay with it. But...after being away for 2 weeks it's sure hard to go back!

It's been a big relief, especially with this TTC process. We anticipate being done w/ student loans by March 2016. SO. CLOSE. It's hard sometimes to see other people taking multiple vacations a year, or going out every weekend. But being able to completely cross something off the payoff list helps to keep us going!

I think I need to give up caffeine. I'm dreading it, though. My cup of coffee with breakfast is the highlight of my morning. The thought of coffee is what makes me get out of bed. It's not going to be easy!

We upgraded our phones yesterday and were able to turn in old smartphones and get $200 a piece for them. We ended up with over $600 to use towards accessories and I had a 10% discount that turned into a 20% discount due to multi-accessories. Score! So we got cases and screens that we were planning on getting but then also an additional car charger, extra cords (they always seem to grow legs/wear out). We then splurged on a Bluetooth headset that H wanted that is multi purpose that he can use talking or jogging and listening to music. Also, wireless waterproof speakers and wireless chargers that charge multiple devices at once. We ended up having the store salespeople take our pictures with all of our loot.
