Still not Friday

Swazzle

Good morning! Unfortunately, I did not wake up a millionaire today. 



Last night, I got home from work and my new planner that I spent ages trying to decide on was waiting for me! 



I love it already. I spent some time filling in January and organizing some stuff. 

I told H that either we were getting take out or he was cooking and so we ended up ordering pizza which was divine. I also stopped and picked up this on my way home from work:



And immediately texted @labro asking how/why I lived without it in my life for so long. 

H and I watched the Devils lose and I went to bed pretty early yet I'm really exhausted today  

I started reading 'Room' by Emma Donaghue and I'm having a really hard time with it. It's gotten mixed reviews from people I know that have read it and I'm really trying to power through but I don't know how much longer I'll last. I HATE not finishing books. 

Today will be the usual: work, home, cook, eat, relax, bed. Woo freakin hoo!

@swazzle Love the new planner. For some reasons I thoroughly enjoy filling in my new planner at the beginning of each year. It brings me joy.

Yesterday after I picked up Maddux I picked up Sean's dry cleaning, cleaned Callie's bathroom, did laundry, and went and got Callie. She didn't go #2 Tuesday or yesterday. After I fed her, she had a very small one and then this morning Sean got the explosion. I bet she felt so much better but I kind of have to laugh because that normally happens to me so Sean got a taste of what I usually have to change in the afternoons.

Last night she went to bed normally but woke up an hour later fussy so she got to sleep later than normal. She slept though which is good! That's what we always hope for.

Today I'm going to Michaels because I haven't been there in forever and probably TJ Maxx because I have a gift card. Then I need to finish laundry before I go get Callie.

Afterwards we are having chicken enchiladas for dinner and then CrossFit.

@Swazzle Love the planner. I recently bought one for myself but I'm not too sure what to write in there?

Last night I got home and got to work on the frames. I was very iffy at first with how they came out but the more I look at them the happier I am with them. Just a little back story, we were having a tough practice one night, so I had all the girls spread out and write down what they think a team is, and what team means to them. The words are their responses to that. I thought about typing them up, but I like that it is all in their handwriting. The picture is from the National Competition. 









I will give them to the girls tonight at the banquet and I can't wait! I hope they like them!

@swazzleI might need a planner. I have never used one. My entire life I have just been able to remember things like doctor's appointments, parties, bills. In college I was like the only person who never had a calendar of due dates/ exams. But I feel like I'm getting more forgetful- I sat in my driveway for 5 minutes this morning debating myself whether it's trash pickup week or not (we get bi-weekly).

I'm having like super bad sciatic pain on one side (nerve that shoots from your upper butt to hamstring). I tried doing yoga stretches for it last night and apparently it made it worse, each time I moved in my sleep it was like shooting pain. Anyone had that before?? I have a doc appt Monday so I'll ask about it then.

Um last night's deconstructed California rolls came out freaking amazing. I have leftovers for lunch today and I'm stoked about it.

@caseface5 Love that idea! That sounds like something my old cheer coach would give us! They look great!

@Swazzle I bought a planner for the first time ever this year too. I went with @CocoBellaF's suggestion of the Sugar Paper one. I didn't want to spend too much seeing as I didn't know if I'd like the whole planner thing. I have a lot more going on at work this year so that's what made me actually get one- so I wouldn't forget things.

@caseface5 I think that's such a nice idea for the gifts and love that it's in their handwriting!

Yesterday I left work a couple hours early because I felt really run down. I ate lunch when I got home and then went to take a nap. The damn delivery guy from Amazon rang by doorbell FIVE TIMES and called my cell TWICE and left a message. WTF? Can you please just leave the package at my door, thanks. 
I was planning on working out when I woke up from my nap but that didn't happen and I didn't get up early today to do it so I need to when I get home today.

@jenna8984 That looks so yummy! What a great idea! I've never thought of deconstructed sushi rolls!

speakeasy14

@swazzle even if I hate a book, I make myself finish it.  The reason is because sometimes I end up liking it once it is finished.  Hopefully you have the same luck.
@southernpeach89 have fun shopping! 

So my obgyn appt was interesting.  I've been on the same birth control for 8 years, my dr knew I get migraines.  Yesterday she stated that I need to get off the pill immediately because I get migraines with aura.  Apparently, getting those type of migraines and being on the pill means a drastic increase in the risk of getting bloodclots.  So now I'm scheduled to get an IUD on the 21st.

After I left there I went to Sephora to make myself feel better.  I got a bottle of My Burberry perfume for free and a bunch of lipsticks from Bite.  Then I went to my mom's, my sister, BIL, brother & his gf were all there so I told my bf to come over for dinner.  My mom made breakfast for dinner (sausage and cinnamon bun french toast) and we played Uno and Phase 10 until around 10pm.

Not sure what the plan is for today.

@Swazzle which planner did you go with? What brand? I have realized that I really need one. My phone isn't working for me. I need something where I write it all down and can see several days in front of me instead of just one at a time.

Good morning!

I'm so disappointed it's not Friday yet.  Long week!

Last night, I went home from work and slept.  H made me a baked potato for dinner, and then I took a bath, Baxter got a bath, did a load of laundry, and went back to bed.

I'm on hold with my PCP's office to see if I can get in today.  I've had a sore throat, stuffy nose, and cough since Saturday.  I figure that's long enough to go being sick, and I would like to just make sure it's not strep, since it's been going around.  So I guess we'll see!

Hashweh didn't happen last night.  Boo!

@southernpeach89 - Laughing at your H having to deal with a poo-splosion!  Poor guy!

Swazzle

@southernpeach89 - Callie has her OWN bathroom?! I'm so jealous.

@caseface5 - I put in birthdays, the Devils schedule, due dates for bills and amounts when they come in, work holidays/days off, etc. That's so sweet what you did for your girls and they look awesome!

@jenna8984 - Lucky! I've always had to write stuff down. I'm super organized and I like lists on lists on lists and like to see things in front of me. Your dinner looks/sounds SO good! 

@lavenderfields13 - WTF Amazon? That's so annoying. 

@speakeasy14 - I'm 100% with you but the narrator in this book is a 5 year old. It's rough. Which IUD are you getting? 

@beanbot2002 - I went with Erin Condren. I liked the personalization and the meal planning snap in thing that you can get with it. 

@CocoBellaF - Feel better!

[Deleted User]

@CocoBellaF He has only had to deal with one and that was when she was first born and it was basically her first poo being outside the womb so he was definitely due for another one lol.

[Deleted User]

I love putting in all the dates at the beginning of the year into my planner, too.

Got an appointment for 9:30!  I was surprised to get in so quick, seeing as it's prime sick season.  

[Deleted User]

@Swazzle Well it's technically our upstairs "guest bathroom" but it's right across the hall from her bedroom and the guest bedroom so for now it's her bathroom until someone occupies the guest bedroom lol. She only needs it for bath time lol.

speakeasy14

@jenna8984 deconstructed sushi hmmm, I think I know what is going to be for dinner now 

@CocoBellaF hope it isn't strep and you start feeling better soon!

@lavenderfields13 wtf!?! Was is something that you needed to sign for?

jenna8984

@southernpeach89 I never thought of it either, I saw it on Pinterest! H made the sushi rice with the vinegar and it tasted exactly like a restaurant.

@caseface5 That was so thoughtful of you, they look great and I'm sure the girls will love them.

@cocobellaf mmmm baked potato

@speakeasy14 that stinks, I hate when your body is so used to the chemicals/hormones and then you have to switch and get out of wack. hopefully it's an ok transition

@lavenderfields13 boo hope you feel better. They hardly even knock when they leave my packages.

jenna8984

Here's the recipe I used but we did baby shrimp instead of crab, and of course extra avocado lol

speakeasy14

@caseface5 love the frames! We would write down "what is a team" on megaphone cutouts, and then something positive about each team mate.  Probably one of my favorite gifts, so I know the girls will love them!

@swazzle oh jeez, that's rough. Is it entirely from a 5 year old's perspective, or is it as they grow up?  I'm getting Mirena. 

Swazzle

@speakeasy14 - Apparently the whole thing is from the 5 year old's perspective. @GoldenPenguin has Mirena and I have Skyla if you have any questions! 

lavenderfields13

@speakeasy14 No it didn't even need to be signed for! They finally left it and I went down to get it before they could ring again because at that point I'm wondering who the hell is ringing my doorbell that many times. When I got back upstairs the guy had left me a voicemail saying he was delivering my package and for me to call him back. So bizarre!

@jenna8984 USPS NEVER rings my bell when they deliver. And that pisses me off because I've had quite a few things delivered by them that I didn't know needed to be signed for (like a delivery from Old Navy??) and I've happened to be home every time they "attempted" delivery. I'll check the tracking and it will say "rang doorbell, left notice" and NO ONE rang the doorbell AND they don't even leave a notice! Then I have to hunt down my package.

Morning ladies

@jenna8984 your food looks delish!

@CocoBellaF feel better hopefully not strep!

Not much last night. I'm still low energy so we've been lowkey all week. Ended up ordering greek last night. Hour and half for it! We're not ordering from there again *sigh*

I started a new book last night and if anyone is in the Alice in Wonderland theme stuff, you'd like this. Book 1 is called "Splintered" - basically Alice is her great-great-great grandmother. Lewis Carroll was a family friend and when she returned from Wonderland she told him of the stuff that happened, however since then it's been a disaster and all the women seem to lose their minds. There's obv more to it as you read, but Alyssa goes back to fix the mess Alice made to lift the curse.

It's good and I just got to an interesting twist. I just started reading it yesterday and I'm 82% done lmao

Tonight we're doing Sheppard's Pie and groceries. Really hoping this cold goes away soon, I'm so done and it's only been 3 days

@swazzle - Y u no ice cream text me?  Kidding, kidding.  I'm glad you tried and loved it.  Now you can share @labro's love and my love of it and I'll be sure to have it stocked for when you come to visit and drink my wine and help me put wainscoting up in the bathroom, right?  

southernpeach89 - Blow out diapers and chicken enchiladas do not belong in the same day entry...lol.  I love that Callie has her own bathroom

@caseface5 - I adore those gift bags and the girls' responses.  You are such a good cheer mom!

@jenna8984 - Your dinner looked so good!  I'm sorry about the pain.  I've only had something similar once or twice but that was when I threw out my back.

@lavenderfields13 - What the hell...I've never had Amazon do that.  Raj would go nuts with the doorbell. 

@speakeasy14 - Have you had an IUD before?

@CocoBellaF - I'm glad you got a bath but I'm sorry you are still feeling crappy.  I was looking forward to the Hashweh recap.

---------------------------------
I'm mucho tired.  Raj got me up multiple times last night...I stopped counting honestly...with barking and then he needed to go out in the middle of the night.  He wasn't feeling so hot, poor guy.  We had to switch his food recently (his food got all dusty with the construction stuff and we couldn't find the old stuff we usually get at the store) so that is likely the problem.  

Also, I was mega uncomfortable last night so that didn't help with sleep.  I have been uncomfortable for a week or so sleeping.  My belly is just really odd to me and I'm not used to my changing shape so getting comfortable, even with a pregnancy pillow, is not easy especially since my hips have started to hurt a bit.  This does not bode well for me...I was a 9 (yes 9) lb baby and H was a 10+ lb baby so I have a feeling I won't be getting comfortable for a while.

Went to the gym yesterday, which was nice.  I intend to go today too.  I also ate the fabulous supper H brought me home from Chicago and was very content.  I'm going to eat my leftovers tonight...and ice cream...yummy.  Other than that, it is just work, work, work here today.

@minskat30 Haha I know...shame on me! Unfortunately, sleep doesn't get much better once you get into 3rd trimester. I was pretty much a zombie after that. The pregnancy pillow really comes into use then because your belly gets so big that it's hard to adjust so sleeping with that pillow really helps keep things as comfy as they can be.

LizzyTish88

@lavenderfields13 Wow, sounds like delivery services hate you! How annoying. Luckily our doorbell doesn't work so all we have it our doggie doorbell.

@speakeasy14 Hopefully the change in BC helps with the migraines!

@swazzle Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't even think of doing days off/Holidays and bills. I'll have to get back to work on that.

@misskittydanger Do you read on an e-reader? Being 82% done is oddly specific and made me giggle.

@minkat30 Sorry you are uncomfortable. Poor Raj, the poor guy can't seem to catch a break! Hopefully you both get a better night sleep tonight. I didn't sleep too great last night because Tess is doing this thing where she has to sleep like next to/on top of me. Once she falls asleep she is about 100000 pounds so I can't move her either, or take back any covers. Little sneak!

@everyone Thanks for the compliments on the frames. It's hard to do something for their age range (12-14), and keep the cost down. Can't wait to see if they like them tonight!

Swazzle

@minskat30 - I don't have your phone number! We need to rectify that. 

MissKittyDanger

@caseface5  lmao yes, I forgot to mention that  

speakeasy14

@minskat30 No, I've only been on the pill. 

minskat30

@swazzle - Ahhh, right.

@speakeasy14 - I haven't been on an IUD but I heard they are great....remembering to take a pill every day is a pain anyway.  I hope your appointment is relatively pain-free on the 21st.  

Peaseblossom55

@swazzle I hate not finishing a book too.  Usually I will suffer through a book, even when I'm not too into it just because.

@cocobellaF feel better

@caseface5 I love those frames, what a great idea.

@speakeasy14 it sucks you have to switch to an iud but hopefully it's better for you and no more headaches. 

I didn't post yesterday I was in a real crabby, down mood.  I didn't want to post with that kind of mood.  I'm in a decent mood today though, but I am also working from home so I'm snuggled in pajamas, with blankets and hot chocolate.  No one to bother me except via email.  I'm making a good recipe I found on pinterest over the holidays, a spaghetti squash bake with basil tomatoes, cheese.  I hope it turns out good. I am tired even though I'm sleeping well.  I think some of it is emotional exhaustion and the anxiety about all of the IVF stuff coming up.

We were going to book our flight to the Bahamas on New Years but then I loss the pregnancy and now we are not booking until we know what is going on with the IVF.  I so want to go to the Bahamas this year.  It's actually winter like here in NJ now and I'm not too happy about it.

jenjen047

@speakeasy14 I also have Mirena and I love it!

@jenna8984 - I saw your dinner on FB last night. It looks awesome!!

@minskat30 - Ugh I hate nights when I can't get good sleep. That was me Sunday night and I just got more and more frustrated as time went on and I wasn't sleeping!

@caseface5 - Those are so cute!

@cocobellaf - Feel better!

@lavenderfields13- Your delivery guy sounds insane.

@southernpeach89 - Poo-splosions sound like the worst.

TODAY I AM OFFICIALLY IN SINGLE DIGITS UNTIL MY WEDDING!!!! FI finished the hotel gift bags last night and is running couple more errands today. Tonight I need to finish some stuff for my DJ and make a shot list for my photographer. I have one massive to do list that I am slowly but surely checking things off of. The one thing that is bothering me is an escort chart. I can't find one I like and I need to make a decision ASAP.

Also a question for all the OMHs out there....who do I need to tip on the day of? Our per person charge at teh venue includes gratuity so I don't think I need to tip the banquet staff and it feels weird to tip the photographer/videographer/DJ  but am I supposed to? Also for hair and makeup? Normally I tip at a salon of course but I don't know if this is different?
