I woke up with a headache, and I'm starving. Is it weird if I have potato soup for breakfast? I made some yesterday and it doesn't give me heartburn...
This morning's commute was so easy I questioned multiple times if my clock was correct. Today is my Friday so I'm looking forward to a day with DS tomorrow and a nice long weekend!
And I have a funny story related to the name thread - we asked DS how he felt about the name Calvin. His response: "Like Calvin and the Chipmunks?" And now the Chipmunks theme song is stuck in my head.
shoogars no way! Eat up. I'm making broccoli cheddar soup for dinner tonight and I can't wait to eat it.
Ds woke up at 5:45 and instead of sitting in bed watching tv he wanted to play. I was totally okay with that because we made a smoothie for breakfast and muffins for playgroup this afternoon all before 6:30! The muffins are zucchini, carrot, oatmeal and raisin. I also added crushed pecans. www.yellowblissroad.com/zucchini-carrot-oatmeal-muffins/?m in case anyone wants the recipe.

Before 8:30 and I want to smack someone:
Back in November, a woman brought in her 12-year-old daughter to where I work to donate paperback books to our shelter. She did not want a receipt at the time of donation.
A few weeks later, I get a mean email from her about how her daughter made the self-less donation to donate her books instead of sell them and why didn't anyone thank her PROFUSELY. In overly thankful e-mail terms, I explained that without a receipt - I don't have an address to send her a thank you.
She never sent me an address.
Today (months later) she sends a shitty email demanding her daughter's thank you note in the mail.
Hi, my name is nitecheese and I AM A BOTTOMLESS PIT OF HUNGER. I ate two toaster strudel (full of preservatives and sugar, boo) this morning and I am already trying to find more food to cram in my maw.
Why is this baby making me eat the entire world?
In other news, DS is sick, but his fever is down, so yay? I'm a little jealous of all the snuggles my FIL is getting while watching him this morning.
Thanks for that recipe mladerri . I'll have to try it. I am always trying to sneak veggies in my toddler's food. I made the popeye (spinach) muffins awhile back and he wouldn't even try them and they taste great! Maybe it was the green color, but I thought he would think that's cool. Guess not. At least the ones you posted are normal colored.

soultrane, hahaha Calvin and the Chipmunks! Thanks for making me smile this morning.
mladerri, those look delicious! I might give them a try this weekend!
Flair Underwood, that is so frustrating. She sounds like she has way too much time on her hands if she is repeatedly writing you demanding a thank you note.
nitecheese, sorry he is sick hopefully he feels better soon!
I have a big meeting this morning that I am pretty nervous for. It's brand new territory for me, so hopefully it goes well!

I'm co-hosting a radio show today! I don't know what's more exciting, the actual show or the 1 hour car ride to catch up on serial and stop for a fun snack?! I'm other news I am breaking out sooooo bad! I look like a teenage boy!
Flair Underwood can you send her an ecard? Get a life lady. Totally agree with you about the new serial. I don't know if it's the subject or how much I loved the last one, but I barely got through the first episode and wasn't interested. nitecheese I feel ya! It just started a couple days ago and I feel like there isn't enough food in my house. Hope ds feels better! microworm ds likes these muffins because they have raisins. Hope they work for you!
Andrea, that was adorable. And then I had to scroll to the comments...
Flair Underwood, that woman sounds nuts and is sending a pretty terrible message to her daughter. I hate when people do good deeds just to get recognition. Blasting your good deeds on facebook or expecting to receive a ton of praise for them really takes the term "selfless" out of what should be a selfless act.
My SIL really sweetly offered to take my DS for a few hours today so I could have some time to myself...really nice of her. I told her no and that I felt bad several times but she insisted. So I'm currently getting a pedicure, about to go grocery shopping and make a few returns. I'm actually getting bad cramps today so feeling pretty terrible, but just took tylonel and drinking tons of water and hoping it subsides.
shoogars I hope your headache goes away! Waking up with them is so annoying. txmommy14 sounds like a great day! I hope the cramps go away. nitecheese I'll come get Mexican food with you!!! pbandj714 I *had* to get a frappuccino last week when that was on my ticket too-yum!
I'm going into work late and leaving early to get to my afternoon A/S today.
I have a low tolerance for idiots this week and my work place seems to be crawling with stupidity lately. It's audit season so I have 3(or is it 4?) audits going on and I'm coordinating getting a bunch of support documentation from various staff, some of their reading comprehension skills are really shocking. I ask for the specific documents and put it in bold and underline and they still give me random crap that wasn't requested and leave out the necessary docs.
I was able to get my A/S scheduled for a day when DH can actually come with me! He is super busy at work this time of year, so I was glad it worked out. It's scheduled for Tuesday, which is my EDD for my loss. I actually feel really good about that coincidence. I'll be able to see my babies and make sure they're healthy and growing and be so very thankful for that!

This has been the longest week ever. Everything I eat gives me reflux and stomachaches. I have a ton of work to do today and have to go meet a new client this afternoon and wish I could just go home and veg instead. And this weekend is busy too - Saturday we are heading to the car dealership, Sunday we have brunch plans with friends. They could/will be fun things, but really I just want to sleep and do nothing.
I just caught a kid cheating on a state test. He gets to type his essays, and I called him out on his paragraphs because it isn't like his writing at all. I checked on him several times to make sure he wasn't on the internet, and apparently he was able to get his browser closed in time. Principals found the source he used online, so he will probably face some consequences now.
