Hump Day Ramblings

[lilyelayne]

Still struggling with early wake ups, but our evening schedule is back to normal after DST so I'm at a loss.

I'm a day and a half behind on my NaNovel already. Hoping to find time to play catch up today.

taberbtb I read this in the wonder weeks apps today and it made me laugh because it seemed a little far fetched, but then I thought of your question about learning games and thought if anyone on the board has a chance at this, it's you: "Observing variations within a category with Gabriel . For example, take your baby to see an actual cow, show him a picture of a cow, and showhim an abstract painting of a cow."

[dreemkin]

I never really understood the "spam" thing myself so I like ramblings or randoms.

Home with the girls today and of course it's icky out. Think I will go to the mall: Let Norah play, get some b&bw (bc I got awesome coupons in the mail), and get some steps in too! I've been working out and dieting again but I'm still up 5lbs from vacation. Hoping this week I'll get back to my lowest and keep going. I've been getting 8,000+ steps a day (10,000 is just too difficult for me) and I want to keep that going. I like my fitbit but I don't care for the active minutes category. It's so inaccurate. So I just go by total steps and miles. How's that for rambling?!

Man I hate daylight savings time. It's really f'ed everything up. It means everyone in the house is a grumpy ass and I'm the worst of the bunch.

Last night I poked DH in the eye. He was moving around and woke me up. I put my hand up to defend myself from the blob in the dark that seemed to be right on top of me. He was pissed and blamed me! Seriously?! If you didn't flail around like a moron you wouldn't have woken me up in the first place. Just what I need, another damn wakeup!

badw0lf, ditto. Little Man likes to pull down on my collar to try and get to mah boobies.

Well.. DD took her first real steps last night. We have a walker. AH!! She is getting too big too quick.

Little man has been working on waving "byebye" lately. Mom works with him a lot on it during the day, and tells me he does it but I haven't seen it in action. Except at night. When I'm cuddling him as he drinks his last bottle. His little hand is just opening and closing like he's telling me "byebye" for the night. I lurve it.

I forgot to wear a pump friendly dress to work. I hate pumping.

That's the worst... I have totally been naked in my office because I wore the wrong kind of dress.   It sucks. 

[pitdigger]

All packed but for carryon, including tetrissing in the car. Just trying to decide whether to bring my knitting or not.

We've got 5 am wakeups here too. I figure it'll continue to suck with the time change.

I miss maternity pants. Specifically jeans.

Rough night last night. DS usually STTN. Well, he woke up 7 times between 9:30 and 1:30. I think he might be getting top teeth because something similar (though not as extreme) happened when he got bottom teeth. I haven't followed it up until now, but apparently it's a stormy period according to wonder weeks. DS has been unusually fussy the past couple days, too.

Too bad I don't drink coffee. :/

[GeekBeagle]

Also, DH has the flu or something, so taking care of DS was entirely up to me.

Just kidding.  Maybe.

DH just sent me this text:

"Can you pick N up today and I have a Junior cheeseburger deluxe and a large fry"


It took me a minute to realize he was using the voice commands to text me, so it picked up his drive-thru order. Haha! I was like, "uh, you don't feel well from eating that so you can't get him? You have extra and are bringing me some? Are we sharing what we have for lunch now?" Hahaha.

FFWC I still wear mine even though I can fit into my prepregnancy jeans again. They're just so damn comfy. And you know I'm wearing those bad boys on Thanksgiving!

Guys, DH got a phone call last night from a company he's interviewed with in the past and they offered him a job. If you remember he interviewed with them a month or so ago but was passed over for an internal transfer candidate. Well turns out they really liked him and are now offering him another position. It's a substantial raise and it comes with benefits!!! Andplusalso FIL had his appeal hearing for his disability this morning and was approved on the spot! He's been dealing with nerve damage from his cholesterol medicine among other issues that have had him out of work for 2yrs now.

It has been a great 24hrs in the D family! Praise the Lord!

[cougarette]

Man! I ordered a bookcase from target last week and they delivered the wrong color. Of course I want a color that's online-only, so I can't just swap it out at the store.

[cougarette]

Excellent news, hollydfromtn!!

I'm calling for some T&P please! My sister has been struggling with infertility issues for years: multiple surgeries and procedures, shots, pills... She just found out that she has three good follicles. Friday she's getting inseminated and we are all excited and nervous! They want a child so bad and I want a niece/nephew!

I don't wear a shirt in the pumping room. I also change into my hands free bustier so it's clothes everywhere.
