Tuesday

Swazzle

Morning! 

I'm sleepy today and I'm blaming the shitty weather. It was so hard to get out of bed today! 

Last night I made dinner, watched The Family and hockey with H, read a little in bed and turned the lights out around 10. 

Tonight will be similar because I lead such an exciting life! It's taco Tuesday in the Swazzle household then relaxing while watching hockey and then bed.

H discovered he lost his wedding ring yesterday. I kind of figured this would happen eventually but I'm still a bit sad about it. He has to take it off for work and puts it in a zipper pocket of his lunch bag every day but it's gone. Perfect timing too, with our anniversary being tomorrow and all. SIGH.

This popped up on my Timehop today (H is like, aren't I going to be in ENOUGH pictures tomorrow?!). We had pizza and beer/wine at the hotel the night before our wedding:

@Swazzle I'm so sorry he lost his ring. I hope he is able to find it! I love that picture lol. 

I'm a zombie today. No sleep in our house last night. On a good note though, I got to watch GOT after all the spoilers popped up everywhere and it was a pretty eventful episode. I had to fast forward through one of the parts just because I can't watch all the gruesome horrible parts.

DH is done with his classes for a month!!!!!! I'm so excited that he won't be up until all hours of night writing papers until June. Ugh finally lol. 

Today I plan to go get my car cleaned because it's full of Maddux hair. Then tonight DH and I are going to a new bible study group. The last one we were part of was before we moved to our current city and it was an hour and a half away from us. The distance just go to be too much so it has been a while since we were able to find a new group to join. I'm excited to become part of a weekly study again.

@swazzle So sorry your H lost his ring. Maybe it will turn up? We are having tacos tonight too.

@Southernpeach89 We are starting GOT soon. BF downloaded the first three seasons. We started them a while back, got in two episodes, then stopped for some reason but he really wants to start back up.

I third being tired. I got home and started reading Me Before You since everyone was chatting about it yesterday. I am a slow reader and only got 20% into it but I like it so far. It's keeping my interest. Then we watched Gotham and went to bed at 9:30.

Tonight is tacos and more reading most likely. Nothing too exciting going on over here, pretty boring actually.

@LizzyTish88 It's hard to get into it at the beginning but if you stick with you, you won't want to miss a single episode lol.

Swazzle

@southernpeach89 - Ugh I'm sorry you didn't get any sleep again last night. What's with that little one? Doesn't she know mommy needs her beauty rest? 

@LizzyTish88 - I'm glad I'm not the only one doing Cinco de Mayo wrong this week

@Swazzle It's freaking teething and she just wants to sleep with us. I think it's a comfort thing. She knows we are nearby so she whines for us to come and get her and I'm a wuss so I do. I slept on the floor next to her crib last night holding her hand so she would just sleep.

LizzyTish88

@southernpeach89 I think that is what BF keeps hearing which is why he is pushing it. How long does teething usually last? Poor Callie and poor momma! Hope you all get sleep soon.

@swazzle OMG I didn't even think about that! FAIL. Oh well I won't say no to tacos twice!

[Deleted User]

@LizzyTish88 Forever lol. I have no idea...the teeth come anywhere from 4+ months and on so she could be teething for the rest of the year and then her molars start to come in over the next few years which won't be fun at all. I feel like we have been in a constant sleep regression for the past 3 months lol. I should just sleep at lunch time.

minskat30

@swazzle oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that he lost his ring! I hope he finds it.  

@southernpeach89 I'm sorry you guys got no sleep. You are not a wuss, you are the best mom ever. Hugs.

@lizzytish88 mmmm taco Tuesday!

I'm home today. Got 2 hours of 20 minute naps last night...Raj's stitches itch so he was restless even with a sedative so I couldn't sleep either. So tired...I'm home with him today, h has tomorrow.

LizzyTish88

@minskat30 I didn't get a chance to say it yesterday but I'm glad Raj's surgery went okay. Poor thing that he didn't sleep though. I hope he feels better after today's snuggles with mom all day! Give him a hug from me!

jenna8984

@swazzle  aw that stinks, my H lost his in Iceland 6 months after our wedding and we were both really sad about it. He also has to take his off for work, so instead of getting an expensive replacement we just got a $20 rubber one on Amazon.

@southernpeach89 Yaaay that'll be awesome having him for a month! I admire you for sleeping next to her crib and at least leaving her in the crib. Right now I say I'm all about him never sleeping with us/ being forced to stay in the crib but I know that will be infinitely harder when I have to see the face and hear the cries.

It's month end so I didn't get a chance to read yesterday's- hope everyone had a nice weekend! H has been working 6 days a week for over 5 years and he decided he just can't do it anymore so he's stopping his Mondays overtime. His shift is Tues-Sat so it sucks that he can't stop Saturdays but we can't do anything about that. So yesterday as his first Monday off, he installed shelves in baby's closet, and vacuumed, and spray painted an old mirror for me. Woohoo! And today is officially the 3rd trimester!

jenna8984

@minskat30 aaaaw poop Raj! And poor sleepy you, hope you guys both get some snuggles and rest today.

[Deleted User]

@minskat30 You can join my no sleep train today. Passing you all the coffee. Hopefully Raj sleeps better tonight.

@jenna8984 YAY for 3rd trimester! It's the home stretch now!

labro

@southernpeach89 Who will be taking care of Callie during bible study? I hope you enjoy your new group tonight and that Callie lets you get some real sleep!

@Swazzle Happy almost Anniversary! I'm so sorry your H lost his ring. I guess this weekend means ring shopping? And he should buy you some new jewelry to make up for the loss. Pain and Suffering!

@minskat30 Awwww I'm sorry you didn't get a lot of sleep either. Hopefully Raj is able to settle down more at night.

Last night H and I continued working on grout in the bathroom. We didn't get completely done which had been our hope but we're in the home stretch and we should have no problems finishing the grout tonight and hopefully get closer to being done with the drywall so I can paint!

I'm WFH today so I hope to take advantage of some downtime and take care of dishes, laundry, and getting the trash out to the curb tomorrow. This whole project has kept us soooo busy and it's been tough to keep up with the day to day stuff.

@labro They provide a babysitter at their house while we talk. 

cu97tiger

@swazzle - Ugh, that sucks about your H's ring. My H takes his off all the time, and he usually puts it on one of the ring holders, but sometimes he just sets it on a shelf and I'm sure someday it will get knocked into the toilet or something. Happy early anniversary!!

@southernpeach89 - Remind me what H is taking classes towards?

@minskat30 - I'm glad Raj's surgery went well! I hope he heals fast.

@jenna8984 - Yay for 3rd trimester!

I'm still battling a cold/allergies. I can't smell anything, so I've hardly eaten anything the past couple days (but on the positive side, I've lost two pounds). I forced myself to eat a leftover hotdog and roasted veggies, then H and I watched Jurassic World. For some reason I didn't fall asleep until after 11, so I'm also a little groggy this morning (though nowhere near how you mamas/soon-to-be mamas are feeling).

Today is also officially the first day of my IVF cycle! I've never been so excited to get my period in my whole damn life. I'm waiting on a call from the nurse but I'm pretty sure my baseline bloodwork and ultrasound will be Friday, and I think they said I start the meds that night, too. WOOHOO

labro

@cu97tiger So many vibes!!! I can't believe you will start your meds on Friday!!

untouchablets

@swazzle love that pic! Sorry about his ring... I agree with @labro, you deserve some new jewelry for this

@southernpeach89 Yay your H has the month off! BF and I have been in school for our entire relationship, so the all-night paper writing is in our DNA at this point lol

Good morning!

Today is my busy class day, which is great because I'm only dealing with the public in the context of my classes and don't have to dust off my customer service skills lol. I am preparing one dog today for the CGC class, I am evaluating her at the end of the month and her owner does NOT practice with her. We have been working with her for three months and she still does not get "down". So I am REALLY hoping she has made some improvements over the last week, because if she doesn't get every part of the test right, I have to fail her. So that's the only thing stressing me today, I just want to finish this one up lol.

Oh! I got a promotion and a raise! I was offered it months ago but I didn't want to take it right away... It's a back-up management role, so basically if one of the other managers can't make it, or if there is a weather emergency that prevents others from getting to work (because besides my boss I live the closest) I will have management privileges and keys and can cover for them. I didn't want to take it originally because I didn't want it to interfere with my dog training, since I run that department by myself, and I know if I take too much responsibility I will be sucked back into management which is what I was doing at Starbucks. After I thought it over and talked to my boss about it I figured it actually wouldn't take away from my program at all because in bad weather situations I cancel my classes anyway, and if I have to cover for someone I will have enough notice to be able to move things around. I think it is a good compromise and the extra money definitely helps lol.

Swazzle

@minskat30 - Oh no! I hope you're able to nap some today. 

@jenna8984 - The ring he picked out wasn't expensive at all, I'm more bummed about the sentimental value of it. Yay for 3rd trimester!

@labro - Yea, ring shopping at some point in the near future, I guess. I totally agree that I deserve some new bling too, to celebrate NOT losing any of my jewels  

@cu97tiger - Thank you! Hell yea, period! Crossing everything and sending ALL the vibes for ever and ever, amen! 

@untouchablets - Congrats on the promotion and raise! 

[Deleted User]

@cu97tiger He is getting his specialist degree in Educational Leadership. It's a two year degree that has the same course load as a doctorate but minus writing the big dissertation.

@untouchablets Ugh yea DH was getting his Master's when we started dating and finished the Summer before we got engaged. He took a year and a half off and started his specialist last Summer. I feel like he is a constant student...and he wants to eventually get his doctorate but I told him he needs to wait a while for that one lol.

untouchablets

@southernpeach89 yeah... BF is going for his bachelors in nursing and I think eventually he wants to be a nurse practitioner. He already has a psych degree. And now he jokes about going to medical school. I said he has to marry me first lol

jenna8984

@swazzle that's how we felt too, his original ring was only like $120 but we were so sad that it was the one I put on his finger and it didn't even make it a year!

@cu97tiger woohoo! so excited for you to start this!!!!

@untouchablets congrats that's great!!

MissKittyDanger

@Swazzle  Sucks that your H lost his ring  

@southernpeach89 I'm kind of dying of cuteness imagining you sleeping on the floor holding Callie's tiny hand

@minskat30 poor Raj! Is he wearing the cone of shame to prevent scratching?

@jenna8984 home stretch!  

@cu97tiger vibes!!


Morning ladies! I wasn't on yesterday {obv} so I'll do a quick update today.

Saturday Matt, mum and mum's friend Chris and I went to PoutineFest and ended up walking around most of the day. I was stuffed up and tired by the end of the day, but I assumed allergies and all the sun/walking.

Sunday I woke up with a fever. Yes we went to bed late, but I woke up at 10:45am and took forever to get out of bed because if I moved too fast, I would pass out.

I was up for just over an hour, then went back to bed for 2hrs. I woke up, and went to the couch, tried to eat and fell asleep again for at least an hour.

I begged Matt to go get me meds so I could go to work the next day, but went to bed before being able to take anything except a nasal spray.

Monday I woke up still feeling exhausted, so I stayed home. Matt left around 8am, and I went back to bed until 11am. Ended up marathoning Garfield and Friends {original series is on Netflix!} and fell asleep again for I have no idea how long.

I'm fine today, but I feel like I'm going to be super tired tonight. Must be just a 24hr bug, because I only feel tired now.


Tomorrow I booked off for a hair appt. Also, 2yrs ago tomorrow was my dad's memorial thing. {we didn't do funeral}

minskat30

@misskittydanger - I've been trying to leave the cone off when I'm around because with it on he just pants and pants and pants all day.  I'm a light sleeper when I need to be so I hear him move even to lick...I have a feeling he's going to need more sedative tonight or else the cone is going to have to go on.  

MissKittyDanger

@minskat30  poor Raj and poor mama hopefully he calms but glad to hear the surgery went well!

speakeasy14

@swazzle & @lizzytish88 we're having taco night tonight too. Oh well!

@swazzle ugh that sucks he lost his ring, but now you can have C hook both of you up

@untouchablets being the person who was in law/grad school the entire course of my relationship with my bf, I truly think he's a saint for sticking around.  I was not the most pleasant person the first 4 years of our relationship.

@minskat30 still keeping you guys and Raj in my thoughts, I can wait to see him running around while A uses him as her personal pony.

Today is my first day back to work since Thursday.  I took off Friday to meet Em, and yesterday was my step-granddad's funeral.  My life has felt like the Lion King for the past week.  

Other exciting news, is we looked at a house yesterday.  My bf is getting the keys today so we'll really know how much work there is, but we're assuming just as much as our current house.  It was built in the 1920's. It's a 3 bed, 1 bath with 1.5 acres and a stream.  That means we'd have space for Calla to play! So if all goes well, we may have another home to renovate soon, which means possibly moving within the next year.

labro

@speakeasy14 That's really exciting!!! I hope you like it and everything goes through for you! It sounds beautiful!

MissKittyDanger

@speakeasy14  

labro

@TwoDimes Sometimes I feel like it will never get finished in time! I think I'll end up AW'ing with me holding a very large, very full glass of wine.

Can the Monica version of you come clean my house next please?

MissKittyDanger

@TwoDimes  I love that show! I haven't had a chance to start watching it yet, but season 1 was great

jenna8984

@misskittydanger hope you feel better! I'm dying to try poutine, I've never had it

@speakeasy14 oh that's exciting, would you rent out one or flip it?
