  It's rainy and icy and I'm waiting to see if they delay pre-school that starts in an hour.  I'm afraid of the bigass hill when it gets like this. 

  Max has plowed through a smoothie, 3 pieces of French toast and a banana this am.  If he grows anymore he's going to be in a real bed and I'm not ready for that.

  LOL.  I should send you the bag of clothes that are too small for DefConn.  I've been meaning to take them to Goodwill.

  NEVER.
  
  I don't know about your house, but in mine, it's like the kids get progressively more tired as the week goes on, DD especially.  Even her kindergarten teacher said that by Thursday afternoon, she's sort of easing off, because the kids are just worn out. 
  
  DD had an epic meltdown herself last night, over the dumbest thing.  She apologized this morning, but I see an early bedtime for everyone tonight.

  One good thing...Girodanos pizza is opening it's first location here next week.  I know some people are all, "But Lou Malnati's (sp?) and Gino's East are so much better."  But you know what? We don't have *any* decent Chicago style pizza here.  So I'll take it.  (And I like Girodanos.  So suck it, haters.) 

  
  

  We just need a Portillos now.

  That was a heck of a preschool drop off.  4 buses got stuck in the neighborhood.  I was going 15 and some asswipe was honking at me.    Nope, not gonna help buddy.  32 and freezing rain at rush hour is a terrible mix.  They've closed the highway from Columbus to Cinci.  Some high schools are in, but the primaries are closed. 

  I'm gonna need a drink soon.

  I hear you.  Getting to work was not fun today - at all.  I didn't give myself extra time, since I just thought it was raining, not rain-immediately-turning-to-ice-ing.  Nasty stuff.

  Co-signed.  I'm just worn out.  I hate January...after all of those glorious days off in November and December, it's so hard to get back into the swing of things.  

  
  

  Also, at home I'm doing a chore to help out a campaign that is really making me hate people in my city.  

  
  

  Will someone take my sick husband off my hands?  I think he's trying really hard not to be a baby after I yelled at him, but he just irritates me when he's sick.

  It seems everyone is on the same *whatislife* wavelength. 
  
  I got home last night---saw H and spent time with him for the first time in probably 6 days.  It was weird, given that we've just not been meshing lately.  I worked out, burned off some anger, discomfort and then we were better.  Who needs meds when you work out?  (I know it won't work forever, but I'm hoping I can get to a point where I won't NEED meds and can keep working out---friend told me that is hard to do)
  
  Okay...so, H suggested dinner out which worked great, but that ended up being after a Menards run for closet shelving material for me, so I can't complain---but it was late yo.  I mean, it was 9:15 when we got home.  I love H but sometimes his need to finish things like a closet shelving before a friend comes to visit, I know it's for me ultimately, but do it so late at night---I was ready to wring his neck.  And I told him (small victory) which went over fine.
  
  Also---I'm doing the hair chop today.  I asked H his thoughts and he was all "You KNOW what I think" but "Cut it if you want!".  So, I'm going to.  YEP.

  amen.

  
  

  Thursday normally IS my friday, but I have to have the kiddo 1.5 hours away from home for eye doc appt. by 8:30.  (which will likely take a few hours, because little kids and dilationand all that)
  WTF was I thinking, when I scheduled that?  (I know what I was thinking, we were makign it work around the Mr's probable schedule.  It didn't but these are a bear to re-schedule.)
  
  The drive wasn't *to* horrid, but tomorrow's may be.
  
  And by this stage in the week, Buffy is sleep deprived and tired.

  
  Leaving early tonight to go to a preschool curricula meeting.  
  
  
  On that subject,  am making 'concerned noises' re: kindy.  Academically, no worries.  she knows all the stuff she needs to know.  Emotionally?  I"m not sure.  Attention wise?  I"m not sure.
  I have time to make the decision, but I have to do the appeal to be exempted from the '4 years 364 days old on the cut off date to be 5' now-ish.
  Which still means I can change my mind...but.
  
  My dad (who, youknow, was a school counselor and long term teacher) thinks she might not be ready--he's torn on it.  My big sis (who is the special ed/help with kids in crisis teacher/expert) thinks she's probably ready--but is also torn.
  I know it's to early to stress, but I'm keeping the question in the back of my head as I watch her and I'm just not sure.
  
  (Also, on the subject though, $ shouldn't be the basis, but ANOTHER year of preschool?  that's going to be REALLY really hard to swing.  But they've basically cut all of the 'young 5s' type programs locally)

  Heffa, CO-SIGNED. It is a struggle on Thursday to get DS to look at me. DD flips over everything. Friday I just give up.
  
  MrsConn, we have Portillo's but no pizza places. Now I am craving some deep dish pizza. Come to me buttery crust...
  
  Today I have an eye doctor appointment. I need to do work, but I was supposed to find out on Monday if I was going to be assigned to a new project and I was excited for that. It's now Thursday and nothing. I technically can't bill my time to just my one project so I have no idea what I'm going to do starting Monday. My director said she'd give me some projects to work on but I hate busy work. So here I sit.

  I knew there were Portillos out there, PMeg.  

  
  

  I'd rather have Portillos, but I won't turn down Girodanos.  My mom works 3 doors down from Girodanos.  I'm hoping she'll go and pick me up a half-baked pie the day they open.  My mouth is watering thinking about a spinach and sausage stuffed pizza...with a buttery, flaky, melt in your mouth crust.

  Man, now I want pizza! 
  
  I know I'm NOT in Chicago but there are some good places around hey-ah that have an okay/pretty good version.  I love Detroit deepdish myself.  Mmmmm---craving pizza.

  We have some local places that do deep dish, but I want like the real thing. Yes, a Lou Malnati's would be the best but like you, I would settle for Giordano's. We have a lot of Illinois transplants and an abundance of hot dog/Italian beef places but no pizza.

  We've had a coupld beef/hot dog places that have come and gone.    Nothing like Portillos, but they were good enough to curb the craving.  We've had *no* good deep dish places around here until now.  There is a local pizza chain that has really good pizza, but it's not deep dish. 

  
  

  DH like deep dish OK, but he prefers NY style. Both my kids love deep dish.

  My new effin laptop that I've had for 6 effin days is not working.  I have to ship it back for repairs that can take 7-10 business days.  For a laptop that was delivered to my home 6 days ago! Pissed is an understatement.

  Y'all, just stahhhhp with the pizza!  I'm starving, and it's just about heart-shaped Lou's time.  I've ordered them around V-Day before, but I'm the only one in my house who even cares.  Right now, that feels like reason enough, though.
  
  No Portillo's.  There's some allegedly Chicago-style place Uptown, I may have to check them out.

  It really sucks because I can't do work form my iPad.  I have my old laptop duck taped with a calendar wedged into it so I can keep it charged. I can't close it or move it.  If I have to print I've been hauling the printer to the laptop.  I'm living in fear it will die before the new one is working.  I don't want to lose work or damage the relationship at my "little job." It's been good to me so far.

  Also, Amazon Prime has completely ruined me.  I ordered some clothes for the kids yesterday, and they haven't even shipped yet.  I'm all "Grumble, grumble, if this were Amazon, they'd already be halfway here, grumble grumble."

  I do not have the beetus! and 2.0 is looking good on the ultrasound. Brain and head on track.
  
  PF was AMAZING at the dentist this morning. She screamed and cried and as soon as the dentist was done she gave thumbs up, high fives, and blew kisses. It was scaling of the calcifications on her teeth and another round of x-rays to check on the injured teeth.
