I took a personal day to get my leave paperwork started, go see a new DC (I need to find a new place- two kids at my current DC runs about $100 more than my biweekly paycheck. That's not gunna work), and visit my partner teacher who just had her baby. Lots to do on my day "off"!
I am at work and I have already treated myself to a chai tea and I have a package of chocolate covered pretzels in my drawer for later. Or realistically, in an hour.
My boss is out of town until Thursday and I am hoping to do the least until then.
I am grumbling because it is beauuuuuuuuuuutiful out and I am stuck at this desk all day... and our auditors are coming in for the first quarter review starting today so its probably going to be a busy day.
Frosted Flakes FTW! I just want to drink the sweet milk that is left over when the cereal is gone. I am just not feeling it today and I was decently lazy all weekend so I should be ready to go. Nope, not here.

Just had my BPP, now waiting to see the NP, then get my schedule for appointments for the next 12 weeks and I am off to work. We saw S take a few practice breaths and he had the hiccups for awhile.
I forgot to take my Zantac this morning so I will be popping Tums until I can get back home.

I have to leave my house to go to some training. I rsvpd and didn't receive a response so fx I'm on the list. Then I have to take my clients to lunch. Not really excited about having to be social today.....but I guess I'll take free food!
It's going to be 91 degrees today. Yikes! Heading to a stroller workout class and then probably the playground (hopefully one with some shade) for the rest of the morning. Usual Monday but fun stuff.
I did not want to get out of bed this morning I was so comfortable. I have to make treats for an office party tomorrow and try not to eat them all before then. I'm thinking of taking the kids to the park later too but my energy is lacking.
I'm waiting for K to get up from her morning nap so we can go do some minor food shopping and then go to the park. I'm seriously considering having a second bowl of Reese's puffs. I feel so sloppy about that.

Just got back from my OB appt- GT and anatomy scan came back normal! Woot! Now I'm inhaling my lunch before heading to work for the afternoon. Do not want to work, it's too nice out!

Had to go get the kids some sandals this morning after dropping DD off at school. I realized yesterday as they played in the pool that they only have tennis shoes.
Dropped of the paperwork to my OB to start my maternity leave at work. Apparently they charge $25 to sign and fax it. Irritating, but whatever.

Oh and being off for possibly up to 16 weeks I want to dye my hair back to the not normal colors I love, but I can't decide which color to choose. H says blue, but I'm thinking purple. Or fuchsia.
I think I've entered the "ready for baby to be here and have time off work" phase. I know everyone says maternity leave isn't a vacation, but the idea of 12 weeks where I don't have to deal with anything regarding work sounds so wonderful. I'm definitely losing steam (and motivation) fast.

LOOOVE purple. I've been thinking about going back once I stop working.

I've had about every color in the past. I just think a darker purple might be easier upkeep for right now. Although I did love my blue.

Hello!
Tmi Tuesday, a day early. Omg, the pregnancy sweat, swamp crotch. Ug! It is 80 here today and I went to the zoo with a mom from ds' bmb. This summer is going to suck!
In happier news, we saw the baby polar bear! She's so stinking cute!
Well my day just got potentially more sucky. I was driving to one of my million errands when the check engine light came on and some other lights started blinking. I drove it right to the mechanic but I don't need this right now.
DH and I met for breakfast after we looked at the new daycare. It's $300 cheaper a month.....but it's totally not what we are use to. It's much more of a day care center / public school type feel. Our place right now is a professional, private school type place.
We were trying to decide if we should make it work by cutting back, or going to this new place. Hopefully my car doesn't cost me a fucking arm and a leg

housecarder I did a bright blue on the underneath portion of my hair for a while when DD was an infant. I had never been allowed to have wacky color with my corporate background. I loved it.
Now I use henna exclusively so I don't want to mess with mixing unknown stuff or I'd love to do a bright chunk again.
I took the kids to the park and only lasted one hour. Between the thigh rub, hurting feet and hotness it just was not going well for me. I was excited for the nicer weather but it would have been nice to at least have a spring. It was snowing last week and now it's almost 80 out. This being hugely pregnant in the summer might not go as well as I thought.
Sitting here waiting during my GTT. I cannot stop burping from this orange drink!
Oh and I have to tell you ladies. I got like no sleep last night because I was so worried someone was going to break in to our house last night. We had an open house yesterday and apparently the agent who was doing the showing (not our regular realtor) let this neighborhood kid into the house. We only found out because last night at 9pm the kid knocked on our door and was like so I was over here earlier today and I was in your basement looking at your video games and I want to know what those ones were etc. I was like um what? Then he kicked our lock box on our front step and was like there's a key in there. I asked him if he had a question and he said no so I said okay well it's 9 at night and we're eating dinner so bye. I mean wtf?!? Why did the realtor think it was okay to let this 11 year old kid into our house? He's clearly not going to buy the damn place! I emailed our realtor upset about it and she looked into it for us but wasn't overly apologetic. I am so fucking done with this process!
ellebelle, can you pull the plug early? I would not feel safe having the lock box there any longer.
We took the key out of the lock box as soon as the kid left last night. If we have any showings coming up I will just tell work I need to be there for them. I am praying we get an offer ASAP because I am going to cry if we have to be stuck here but I just can't keep dealing with this crap.
housecarder, I love the blue, but it's so damn hard to maintain. I am the woman of a million hair colors as well. I'm really missing my fire engine red, but I can't imagine the upkeep with multiple kids.
melody330, Hope nothing serious is wrong with the truck.
ellebelle, That's just insane. Also, why the hell is a kid that young just wandering around the neighborhood at 9pm? Is it me or is that weird?
glaze, I tapped out after 35 minutes at the park. I just couldn't take trailing after K in the sun anymore. Also, the area I go to is for 6-24 months. The park has sections based on age. I get that some parents have kids that are different ages; ie, an 18 month old and a 5 year old so you have to pick an area and stick to it. Well, one mother's 5 year old was running around, pushing littles, and throwing wood chips. So, so close to saying something to that woman. But she already looked defeated enough.
TheTuna15 it would be weird except the kids who live near us have parents who do absolutely no looking after their kids. I am tired of living in the ghetto.
