Morning

Summer is trying to hold on, but fall is not going to let that go on for too long. 

More packing last night.  Story of my life. 

We're getting pics of the kids on Sunday!!  Finally.  We've been trying to get this together with SIL since Easter.  My sister is also bringing my nephew and we're going to get it all done in one big shebang. 

My teenage cousin and his GF were expecting a baby and it was an ordeal for many reasons.  She lost the baby.  Now everyone is trying to figure out how to feel because they don't want to seem too relieved, but most of us are feeling that way.  It is a mess and would have been a bigger one with a baby in the mix.

Its still hot here in TN, I'm looking forward to fall weather.

 

My DD got pregnant in her senior year of HS, her baby went to term but then died at 4 days old due to issues.  It was a lot of emotion to handle at her age, and for all of us.  We were so upset that she was having a baby at that age, but then devasted to lose it, its a rollercoaster. 

 

I went to my cardio yesterday and he told me something seems to need to be "tweaked".  I have known all summer but put off going, opposite of what I preach to every woman I know with possible heart issues.  I have bypasses and stents that are getting old, so next week friday I have to have an arteriogram.  I don't have good luck with those, I've had 3 and developed huge hematoma's every time.  Not to mention every time I either needed OH surgery or a stent, this sucks.  I'm not looking forward to it.  Getting over open heart HURTS!  Having nurses literally lay on you with sand bags mashing your hip to get rid of the massivee hematoma HURTS.

That's tough about the baby.

MIL is having surgery today- breast reduction and tummy tuck.  I hope this helps her be able to move easier.

M2 starts preschool today. I'm excited for her. 

I lied to my friend.  Her granddaughter's first birthday is Saturday. The whole family is invited, but I made up an excuse for everyone else not to be there.  She fully admits there will be drama and the party is being held in the dad's apartment.  I just don't think it's going to be a safe place for my kids.

Last night I got home and just about collapsed. I was in bed at 9, but H wanted to video chat so I didn't go to sleep until 9:45. This will be different tonight. I'm wiped.

PF is doing great in school so far, and this morning when I told her that the bus was here and asked if she was going to have a good day she nodded emphatically.

I'm so ready for crisp fall weather. Not that we've had much of a summer, but I love the smell of Fall.

I feel like this is both a FWP and a cliched complaint, but we just got our fourth Frozen birthday party invitation in as many weeks.  I know people have been anti-Frozen, but it really didn't bother me.  Until now--I'm finally pretty over it.  I don't fault the parents--if DD wanted a Frozen party, I wouldn't tell her "Nope, sorry, it's been done to death."  But...sigh.  Maybe I can time DS's nap around the party and con DH into taking DD.  All but one has been at the same place, too, and IMO, it's not that great of a place.  But DD seems to be enjoying them, and that's what counts, right?

I can only imagine how many Elsas are going to show up at our door this Halloween.

Both girls want to be Elsa for Halloween.  I'm not over Frozen yet.  I'm enjoying how much they are loving everything Frozen.

I picked DD1 up from school yesterday and she was all frowny and arms crossed.  The teacher told me she wasn't feeling well but they didn't call me because it was already toward the end of the day.

So both girls have the strep.

DD1 had a fever all night and threw up her medicine a couple times.  It was a long night on the couch for me.  It didn't help that it stormed really bad for about 4 hours and was so loud I couldn't doze off.

I'm glad DH is off today because I am going to need a nap.

I forgot - I am officially a full-time employee. No more temp. I just signed my agreement.

and I'm thinking about making PF Olaf for Halloween.

Taw - you deserve a nap, a drink, and chocolate.

Congrats, Dixie!

I'm trying on my new non-chalant pants.

And now I have a call in to the doctor because Son is not feeling well.  I have asked that they swab all of us or treat all of us because I know it's going to make the rounds.  I do have a tickle in my throat, though it could be in my head.

Our anniversary trip is this weekend, damnit.

The saving grace is that it's only Tuesday.  So, if you all can get on abx, you should be OK by the weekend. 

I have my fingers crossed for you guys.

Peg, I'm sorry for your lost. I hope your procedure goes much better than past ones.

Dixie, congrats on the job.

Taw, here's hoping the sickness lives your house soon.

I hope your doctor is awesome and will do this without forcing you to go in. Our GP in Philly would just call in a prescription for DK or I if the other one was sick - just saved us the time of a 2nd appointment. 

Enjoy Pittsburgh! Have you guys decided whqat you'll be doing besides the game?

Peg- Good luck with the procedure.

I always feel like I'm desperately trying to catch up with these good morning posts---just goes to show I'm actually working---it's interfering with my knot time.  *hulk smash*

Conn---losing a baby regardless of circumstance is never easy...but being relieved because of perspective is okay too. 

Taw---I really hope you all get some sort of treatment, if only to "save" your trip. 

Peg--vibes for you and your procedures and tests.  That's certainly scary, take care of you.

Dixie--congrats to you!  All kinds of awesomeness coming your way. 

Me?  Meh.  I'm busy, chasing my tail, spinning my wheels, any other euphemism you can think of for not getting anywhere fast.  Which means?  Back to work.  *SIGH OF THE CENTURY*

Just got the call back.  They are prescribing for Son but not for DH or I until we are symptomatic.

We haven't decided on what else we're doing in Pittsburgh.  It will probably be the zoo.  Whatever we decide, I'm sure we'll have a blast.

We will be tying out Primanti Brothers for sure.

I'm tired. DD was up a few times and I couldn't fall asleep until midnight. Then I had to be up for a 6:30 am teleconference. DH has an interview today for a promotion. It's a new department and basically an AVP level position. Fingers crossed for him.

DS is in an attitude phase. Everything is "if you say so" or "whatever" or just staring at you and not doing what you ask. Frustrating. At least DD is being cute. She crawled over to me, sat in my lap, and snuggled. DS was not a snuggler so this is awesome. I love it.
