  Howdy friends!!
  
  @minskat30 In regards to Dr Google, I say:
  
  
  @cocobellaf The floors look gorgeous!! Your H has done a fantastic job. I'm sorry your back pain is so intense. Baby K is so worth it, though! Keep up the good work of growing that little girl. 
  
  @jenna8984 and @wink0erin I get to work from home because I went and asked if I could. My job is a ton of event planning, reading, and writing, so I can do that all from anywhere. I typically WFH every Monday, which is a fantastic cure for the Mondays. There were some grumbles around the office a few months ago when I wasn't showing up until noon, but then they realized I was staying late and still getting in all of my hours and my work completed. I'm just no where near productive enough in the office!! Too many distractions, not enough pajamas. 
  
  @alpacina I'm so so so glad to hear that things are getting better with BF!! Finding the root of an issue like that really helps. I'm glad y'all are able to be more frank with each other.
  
  Re: Waco HGTV people: My IL's bought the last house they flipped right before they got picked up by HGTV. While the house is gorgeous, there are definitely some problems that the couple had to have known about but did nothing to fix that are becoming major problems two years down the road. They love living in Waco, but they're the perfect demographic for it. I could never. 
  
  --------------------
  
  Y'all, @eilis1228's H knows how to cook a turkey pot pie. We drank and sewed and got two baby quilt projects off the ground. I'm super excited to finish them this weekend. 
  
  This week is Holy Week, as you all have figured out, which means the office is crazypants and I'm busy AF. Luckily, I'm in charge of Thursday's service, which  means after that, I'm done being responsible and I just have to show up at each service for the rest of the weekend. 
  
  In other news, my period has finally started, almost three months late. I get my Mirena next week! @speakeasy14 suggested I eat breakfast, so I've made plans to get my favorite pancakes at my favorite breakfast spot where I took @cu97tiger when she came in town. 
  
  For less intimate news, H and I bought a new TV and it's glorious. I'm ready for a day in my pjs binge watching something on netflix.

  @audrewuh @labro I agree- I get more done the days from home because I'm like "they are trusting me, can't blow this" whereas in the office I'm like screw today- I'm internetting all day! lol

  Re: WFH-- some days I am waaaay more productive at home than I am in the office, and some days I monitor email while watching Netflix and do the bare minimum. It's a toss up.

  Goooooooooooood Morning!
  @southernpeach89 I just want to reiterate what I told you last week. You are amazing! You are doing GREAT! You are an AWESOME mom! I know you know this, but I want to remind you that you cannot spoil a baby by holding them. They need us! When they cry, its because they have a need that has to be fulfilled. Often times, its just that they want to be held and comforted. And that is OK! You're doing wonderful, sweetie!
  
  @swazzle Snoos is 100% innocent of any and all accusations made against her, forever and for all times! She is an angel. I love her. Please kiss her adorable nose for me! Also...you and @cu97tiger are inspiring me to get off my ass. I've been walking 3 times a week with the other soccer mom's while the boys practice. We usually end up walking 3-3.5 miles. I desperately need new walking shoes, because the sneakers I have right now SUCK and rub my feet and ankles in all the places.
  
  @labro I can't wait to see the bathroom remodel!!! 
  
  @Hummingbird125 Let me know next time you plan on doing a full out feast...I'll make the drive to eat with you I had strong cravings for stuffing and gravy when I was KU with Noah. 
  
  So, the plumbing saga continues...we had to have the plumbers back out on Friday (3rd visit in a week) and they hit a 5-6 ft section of sewer line that they described as "very difficult to snake through). So we called the sewer company and they came out yesterday. Turns out a section is collapsed...but it's on their end in the street! Which means they are paying to fix it AND they are installing a clean out in my yard FOR FREE! I'm so glad!!! I mean, our line was backed up because of the wet wipe situation, but there was a bigger problem with the whole line that contributed to the situation. I was seriously freaking out about an 8-10k bill to replace the line in my yard. As soon as this is done, I'm buying the damn water and sewer line insurance from the water company. 
  It will be well worth the extra $12 a month. Anyhow, the sewer company showed up this morning, and I'm certain my neighbors are annoyed, cause they're digging up a HUGE ditch through the entire cul-de-sac. 
  
  Other than that...I had a lovely, quiet, and boring weekend. My brother and SIL picked up some of mom's furniture that they're going to use in their new house and H hooked up the new flat screen smart tv, so I can watch my netflix shows on the couch! 
  
  Also, job vibes for H, please. He applied for a manager position at Sheetz to hold him over while he waits to find out if he's going to get a jail officer position. Sheetz called him for an interview today, and the DM seemed to really like him. It's nothing fancy, but they pay well and we need the help until he can find something more permanent.

  @beanbot2002 OMG I am so relieved for you!!! That makes SUCH a huge difference when the issue is with the sewer that isn't on your side of the line! I'm so glad they are fixing it all!
  
  All the vibes to your H for both the Sheetz interview and the jail officer position!!!

  @beanbot2002 - All the vibes to your H!  Also, that is fantastic news about the plumbing situation and I'm SO happy you don't have to pay that out of pocket!!!
  
  @audrewuh - I can't believe I'm saying this but "Yea for period arrival finally!"  I hope your week isn't too stressful until Thursday and you can enjoy it after that!

  @labro there are worse wormholes to be in ... and now I'm right there with you.
  
  
  I feel like my nickname for my mum's cat - Storm - should be there because I typically call her that more than her name.

  She's tiny so gets into dusty areas and acts like she's on a springboard. LMAO

  @CocoBellaF the floors look amazing!

  re: WFH - I can't work from home because of the nature of my position.  But in certain situations my boss is beyond understanding.  He also allows me to be flexible with my schedule.  I also work well after I have come home and on weekends, so there's that too.  What makes me ragey is one guy on our team who is a manager and often works from home, yet does not allow his team to do the same.  I'm sorry how are you able to manage others from your home, but they cannot complete tasks while home!?
  
  re Easter: I forgot I was off Friday, but have been making plans with my mom for food for Easter.  I grew up Catholic so it has always been a big deal in my family.  My mom usually hosts Easter, but since it is so close to my sister's due date, it is just going to be immediate family.  We'll celebrate with my extended family after Emmy is born (this way my grandma only has to make one trip).  The plan is to spend the day with my bf's extended family and then the evening with my family.

  @misskittydanger that's good, that's one of those tough ones where you really need to be out of work and just rest til it goes away! Baby is doing great in there, still haven't felt kicks yet but that's ok. My friend confirmed my shower date in June so I'm looking forward to that!

  I'm so late to this week! We had a snow day yesterday and this morning I had to get the payroll over so I'm just getting to check in. 
  
  Friday night we hung out at home and were all in bed by 9. Saturday I was supposed to have the home energy inspection at noon. By 12:30 no one was there so I called and the company that does them friggin ceased operations on Friday! So that was a fail. We decided to go out and run errands instead. That night we went bowling and I broke 100 on both strings! I was so excited.
  
  Sunday we went to my aunt's for a birthday party then came home and meal prepped for the week and watched TV. Yesterday I slept in, then ran to Kohl's and Target. I got a spiralizer! I tried zucchini on it at my Pampered Chef party, and I didn't like it alone, but I did like it with sauce so we're going to make zoodles this week!
  
  Tonight BF is going to wrestling with some buddies so it will be just me and Tess! Not sure what we are going to be doing yet.
  
  @swazzle that picture is hilarious!
  @southernpeach89 WTF with the nanny?! I hope you guys see eye to eye soon, and she smartens up!
  @lavenderfields13 Good Luck with the house hunting.
  @minskat30 No computer? We forgive your pregnancy brain! Love the new stuff in the nursery!
  @CocoBellaF Love the floors! Looks great!
  @labro Can't wait till you AW all the changes!
  @everyone else.. sorry I can't catch up to two days worth of posts. I did read everything though!

  I completely keep forgetting that Easter is this weekend. I don't get Friday off and actually have a major out-of-office thing for work that day. I imagine on Sunday I will go to my parents but I'm unsure if I should extend the invite to BF or not, I mean it's Easter dinner and my mom makes ham (I'm pretty sure it's actually turkey ham, she fries it up and it's SO GOOD, but I'm not 100% sure) but BF is Jewish. I guess I can extend the invite and let him decide. 
  
  Sidenote, I got a promotional email from Starbucks and they are making a Caramelized Honey Latte. Omg. Many years ago there was a honey frappuccino or something like that and I LOVED IT, it hasn't been back in ages. This might get me to go back to my local sbux this week. Lately I've been going to a local coffee shop which is wayyyy better. But they don't have caramelized honey lattes...

  @wink0ern Omg that latte sounds delicious!!! Did the email say when it's coming out? I wanna try it!
  
  @caseface5 Yummm zoodles! I just snuck a peek at the carpet and I am so excited! It's not done yet but already my house looks like a normal home and less like it belongs to some old lady who hasn't updated in decades!!

  @labro It says "available in participating stores" which I guess could mean now, but I'll wait a couple days since my location is always late!

  @beanbot2002 Thank you! You're so awesome! I told the nanny that us holding her is not the issue of her having shortened nap times at home. I find it ridiculous that she believes that Callie knows that I will give her attention so that's the reason why she won't sleep for me. Absolutely ridiculous. Ugh I'm just so tired lol.

  Ughhhh my workload just got even more intense. I now have three things that involve major work and need to have them all turned in THIS WEEK. One wasn't supposed to need to be dealt with until next week, and another was supposed to be the week after that. Nope, they all need done now. Oh, and I will be out of office Friday for another work thing that will take me all day Thursday to prep for. I currently want to throw myself off the building.

  In other news, I found this gif, and am pretty glad it exists because, like the 12 year old boy I am, I just sent it to a bunch of random friends.

  I am so brain dead after that two-hour meeting with one of my publishers. I thought it was going to be a meet and greet and a demo, and it turned into a brass knuckles sales planning meeting that I was not prepared for in the least. And again, it lasted TWO HOURS. Luckily they provided lunch, but omg. Can I go home now?

  @alpacina is there a way to text a gif so it shows up like a gif? Or is the only way for it to be a link they have to click on?

  @Alpacina I think I have texted gifs by saving it onto my phone (like an image) and then sending it. I can't promise that though.

  I also really enjoy the suspense that comes with sending a link..... Like, "Hey! Al sent me a link! Must be something pretty great!"

  And then all you see is this:
