It's only Wednesday? (Randoms)

[ashlantic]

Is this week going by soooo slowly for anyone else?

[ashlantic]

I am dragging this morning. Lo slept ok, but we had some storms roll through last night that woke me up. So I'm sitting here drinking hot (!!!) coffee and watching lo play. He's been much more purposeful in his play and it's fun to sit and wonder what he's thinking.

[littlelion]

Storms here too. And Leo gave us trouble at bedtime. He didn't fall asleep until 10:30. Traffic looks bad. I am tired. And late for work.

[laceysbryan]

ashlantic I was just thinking how slowly this week is going. Ugh!
littlelion Sorry about the traffic, hopefully it just looks bad but will clear up and your drive won't be too bad.

[laceysbryan]

I forgot how unpleasant AF is. Happy to have a cycle again, but please GTFO.
Fx this day goes by quickly so I can go home and put on sweats.

Daylight savings is kicking my ass. Got off the train at the wrong stop today! Luckily I am drinking a delicious latte and its Bagel Wednesday at work so it can only get better- I hope.

I watched the finale of the Bachelor on Hulu last night. That show is so weird and I can't stop watching it, idk why! Ben was one of the most convincing bachelors I've seen so far- he really did seem to be in love, as did Lauren. But were they? Or are they just good actors? Hmmmm!

Ch dances now. Whenever I sing "if you're happy and you know it do a dance" or when me and DH shake her little Haba percussion blocks to a rythym. Trying to get it on video!

yeah, AF PP sucks. Mine is still long but instead of light, heavy, light days all I get is heavy the whole time.  Grrrr.  I was actually sad that mine came back at 3 months PP and not when I stopped BF'ing like my obgyn told me.

My mom is flying in today to visit with us and watch DS while DH and I go to some of the NCAA basketball games this weekend. I've been furiously cleaning the house this morning in anticipation of her arrival.

[ashlantic]

littlelion I would lose my mind if I had to deal with Chicago traffic every day! Hope your drive wasn't too bad.
laceysbryan agreed. PP AF is the woooorst. About the only good thing I can say about mine is that it's fairly regular. Other than that it's a long, drawn out, obnoxious affair.
bkmama0 I actually liked Ben on the Bachelor! I know it's trash, but it's entertaining and mindless. Some of my friends make fun of me for watching it, but they watch the Housewives of whatever, so it's not like they have a lot of room to judge. Lol And Bagel Wednesday sounds like a fantastic thing. Jealous!
@alexipodes good luck cleaning!!

[littlelion]

I am going slow at work. And what I am trying to do in Access is taking forever (I think I did it wrong and broke it). 

I'm looking at Easter recipes. Not sure if I'm hosting or not but just in case. I don't think we'll do a picture with the Easter bunny. But omg there's a bookstore by Leo's gym that has the cutest Easter display window.  It's looks like a picture out of the Peter Rabbit book but without the bunny wearing clothes. I seriously want to plop Leo in there, run outside and take a picture! 

Since I had a smoothie for breakfast (blah, I'd rather have a bagel!) I'm thinking lunch at 11 is a good idea.

Ugh. Spent 12 hours yesterday balancing a VERY cranky baby while doing this crazy project for school. This professor is nasty and dismissive. Kind of impossible to please. I am hopeful that she will be ok with my work- lord knows I put the effort in. It's 20% of my grade!

LO fell asleep way early this morning- very cranky still and just not acting like herself. I'm hoping it's just teeth and not an impending bug.

Hope everyone is having a good day. I'm posting and running now but will catch up later.

[ourcrazynavylife]

ashlantic enjoy your hot coffee!! I agree. I love watching lo play by herself.
littlelion I hope your work issue soon and/or get a tasty early lunch lol.
laceysbryan yea, I'm not a fan. I had awful cramps for two days this last one.
bkmama0 boo for the wrong stop. But yah!! For lattes.
@alexipodes have fun this weekend!!
kcrus good luck on your project! Fx lo isn't getting sick!

[ourcrazynavylife]

My mom left last night. She was so sad and made me cry.
Boooo.
We still haven't been able to put an offer in on that house. The local lender took forever to call us back.
My DH finally got the application from him today. So hopefully we can put an offer in today.

[ashlantic]

kcrus I hate professors who are like that! Some people have no business teaching. Fx your lo perks up for you!
ourcrazynavylife good luck with the loan! I'll never understand why lenders/banks drag their feet about stuff like this. The house we bought was a foreclosure and the bank took forever to process it. Wouldn't it be more beneficial to make a sale and be done with it?? Fx for you guys!

[ourcrazynavylife]

ashlantic right?! This house is a probate sale so that complicates it a bit. The biggest issue we're having is we originally preapproved for the VA loan. But because the house is such a fixer upper it doesn't qualify for va financing. So we've had to research other types of more conventional loans to find something that all work.
And if that wasn't a pain enough, our realtor seems to think the listing agent may be blocking offers so his friend/acquaintance can buy because he's having a very hard time getting in touch with the guy.
I just can already see the renovations in my head for this house and I reallyyyyyyy want it.

[ashlantic]

The weather is insane here today. It can't make up its mind if it's going to be sunny or rainy. It was sunny while we finished up lunch so I thought we'd take a walk. In the 10 minutes it took us to get ready a storm blew in and the winds were strong enough to knock over all our patio furniture and grill. And now it's sunny again.

Buying a house is definitely not for the faint of heart! Sooo many hoops to jump through. I'm very type A so not having anything in my control was so frustrating. I hope it all works out for you!

[kcrus]

ourcrazynavylife do you watch Fixer Upper? I'm kind of obsessed.

[BabyStandish]

We woke up late this morning which felt nice. Went on a run and now hoping LO will go down for his nap soon.

Hi ladies!

I'm so unproductive at work this week, it's not even funny. And yes, ashlantic, it is crawling by so slowly! I have a motion hearing tomorrow that I should probably prepare for. No energy. No motivation. No fucks to give.

LO had trouble falling asleep the last two nights. He was tired and ready for bed but just wouldn't settle or stop crying when I put him down in his crib. I wonder if daylight savings time is a factor since it's still a little bit light in his room when I put him down now.

Maybe it's teeth? Leo was like that last night. Obviously tired but did not want to go to bed. He had his mouth all puckered up so I kept putting my finger in there to make sure he wasn't chewing something he shouldn't be. He got a couple of good bites.

He could be sensing the new babe. My kiddos always got super clingy and fussy when I would get preggo.

Yesss!!!! Love them!

[ashlantic]

Decided to go for a walk before nap. Checked the weather like 5 times before we left. Nice and sunny, "0% chance of rain." We got to the halfway point and it started POURING. Lo was nice and dry in his stroller. I was drenched. Go home weather, you're drunk.

So interesting!!  And also a little heart-breaking

Then again, I am super-emotional today.

Whoa did not think about that! Freaky.

Getting a pair of nice running shoes for $35. UGH this is why it's so hard for me to quit my job. We used to get free shoes all the time so I hate paying for shoes, but whatever until they totally take away our benefits I guess I'll keep going to my once a month shift.

[BabyStandish]

Also, just found some leftover Starburst from Halloween and it had 2 pink ones inside. #winning

[littlelion]

Our power has gone off 3 times this afternoon! Wth. How can I be expected to work under these conditions. I should just walk out right now.

[bkmama0]

Burning out at work so I took Friday off and working from home Mon. So tired of it. Though it's also fine in other ways? Could go on rant but won't. Will go home and eat and hug the bebe.
