I am so tired today and don't know why. Don't think I slept badly last night and I was in bed at a decent time. Very much looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning.

I have a ton of housework and yard work to catch up on from when all of us were sick the last two weeks, but I might blow it off until tomorrow or Sunday. The pear blossom festival starts this afternoon and I want to go!
Also, small confession: I'm seriously considering just wearing maternity shirts after pregnancy. I like that they're long enough that there's no gap between shirt and pants. Regular shirts sometimes aren't long enough and my surgical scar/muffin top poke out. Yuck.
I spent like two hours yesterday afternoon sweeping and pressure washing the driveway. My hand and my shoulders are killing me today.
But I'm genuinely loving this whole working from home on an east coast schedule thing. Yesterday I worked from 7am to 3pm, had time to pressure wash most of the driveway and still make dinner before my 7pm meeting.
H's best friend died in December and a bunch of us are going over to his parents house tonight. Everyone is pitching in to get pizza/salad/booze. MIL is watching DS.

Do it thekatezombie. I kept a few in the rotation after DS. I can neither confirm nor deny that I kept a pair of jeans (low panel) and leggings (full panel) in the rotation too
watermelonseed that's so exciting!! Can't wait to hear the news!
We have DS's dance class this morning. Hoping it goes better than yesterday. Then I'll be tidying up the house bc family is coming over tomorrow.
LadyNymeria, me too! I thought I had my energy back, but have been completely knackered the past couple days. I'm having caffeine today and I don't care. It's the only way I'm going to keep up with 80+ middle schoolers until 4pm.
I'm so tire of this cold weather, my jackets don't zip anymore.
Nothing special going on here today and this weekend except for laundry and ironing. My H is leaving for NYC on Monday and we're going to join him on Thursday for the weekend.
I'm sorry about YH's best friend singingsea . That's rad that you guys are spending time w his parents.
Yeah they have another son but he lives out in Los Angeles. He tries to visit as much as he can but they get lonely sometimes. H does a better job than most his friends at stopping by to visit or bringing them food.
Ok totally random but I thought I'd bounce this off you guys. As I've said here before SIL is pregnant as well. Mom brought up me helping her co-host a small shower for SIL. This is her second child but her daughter is turning 12 and everything she does still own is in the Philippines (which would be crazy expensive to ship). Is a small shower/sprinkle appropriate in this case?
My only worry is mom wanting to do this shower too close to my due date. Which I'll be too miserable to help or in labor

This is a tough one. I would say that in this case a small sprinkle would be appropriate. These are circumstances outside the norm.

singingsea - In this case I agree a small shower would be ok. 12 years is a long time between children AND all of her belongings are in a different country. I wouldn't do anything over the top, but you stated small shower so that sounds more than reasonable to me. Agreed with Daikoku that these are special circumstances.

That's awesome you, YH, and friends are keeping in touch with his parents. I would think continued support means a lot to people in their situation.

Yeah it's been rough for them. It's hard to lose a child at any age. H brings them comfort food every once in a while. Scotch eggs being one of them. H taught their son how to make them and they said they've missed them. H even brought the eggs to calling hours.
I can still hear our friend's voice, it's weird. In certain situations I'd know exactly how our friend would react and I kind of do his voice in my head H has even picked up some of his mannerisms. His way of coping.

I had a small coffee yesterday, and then later in the afternoon I grabbed a cream soda, which I didn't realize had caffeine in it. So, I way over did it on the caffeine front.
Interestingly enough, baby seemed to be doing backflips and river dancing throughout the evening...

That's what I kind of thought but wasn't 100% sure. It's weird here in Ohio I've been to a lot of second showers and sprinkles. It's just something that's more socially accepted here. I personally wouldn't have one but I don't bat a eye at going to one. Mainly because I love to shop

+3. Seems totally fine to me. I'm sure most of the people you would invite would know her situation and would be understanding as well.

Mom is thinking something small and at her house in the backyard. I think we can keep it pretty low key and causal. Some food, drink and dessert with only inviting close family and friends.

I went to a Bruce Springsteen concert at the last minute last night with my work bestie. (I have undying love for the Boss forever and ever so I couldn't pass it up). It ended at 11:30 so I didn't get to bed till 12:30 am and I got like 4 hours of sleep. Am I actually dead right now, you guys?

I was up a lot last night checking on my LO bc she smashed her head on the coffee table right before bed. Good news is that she is totally fine but I'm so exhausted.

Ouch! Glad she's ok!! Hope you get some better sleep tonight.

Probably. But it was worth it, right?
Totally! I came in to work to find a 2 lb box of chocolates someone left me as a thank you gift for a project, so I'm letting those help me get through the day. (I did share with my coworkers since it's 2 lbs...after I took out my favorites of course, haha)
