Whiny Wednesday

Swazzle · April 2016

Morning everyone!

I'm on the whiny train today because I had terrible cramps last night which carried over to this morning. I didn't want to get out of bed and then I realized I never marinated my cod for tonight's dinner so I rushed around to do that and was all frazzled leaving the house which I HATE. I'm also feeling tired even though I got a solid 7+ hours of sleep again last night.

On another note, I started book #17 this morning (The Girl You Lost by Kathryn Croft) and it's SO good so far. I can't put it down and almost missed my stop on the Path this morning because I was so into it.

Today is Wednesday which means Survivor tonight. I kind of hope H's friend doesn't come over because I feel like poo and I don't want to drink. I forgot to weigh in this morning until I was already in the shower so now I have to do that tomorrow and drinking always affects it, even if I only have 1 glass of wine.

Is it Friday yet?

@Swazzle Ugh I hate mornings like that! I hope you get lots of rest tonight!

Yesterday Callie tried finger foods for the first time. Well technically it was Monday but last night I put some puffs and rice rusks in front of her and she liked them but still is unsure how to eat the puffs because they stick to her hands. She did really well with the rusks though.

Then she has discovered splashing lol. It was so cute but I can see this getting to be something that might have to stop because water was EVERYWHERE. She was having so much fun though, it was adorable!

Tonight DH has to work so I plan to get some of Callie's laundry done and just let her expend all her energy while I do that. She is crawling and climbing all over the place. I don't sit lol.

@Swazzle Perfect title for the thread today... Sorry about your cramps what a bummer! And I'm definitely adding that book to Goodreads.. maybe it'll be my next read (I was listening to Pretty Girls while on my run this morning... W...T....FFFFFFFFFFFFF is all I have to say as I get deeper and deeper into it. No one is acting as I expected them to)

I'm also whiny.. I got up and ran this morning - 5 miles and it was my slowest run in the 10 weeks I've been training. I just felt awful and slow and it put me in the worst mood. Then I also had to run around like crazy this morning to make it to work in time for an early morning call. I'm glad I don't have to run later but I just want to go home now and it's only 8am!

H has a seminar he's going to today so I'll go home and get some stuff done. I'll probably just make a simple salad with shrimp for dinner. Hoping to curl up with a book tonight and just relax and let my mind wander.

@Swazzle Ugh morning rushes are the worst! Hope you feel better.

@SouthernPeach89 I have a feeling you won't be sitting for a while!

@PamBeesly524 Pretty Girls was so good! I had the same reaction as you and it just gets better!

Last night I got home and cleaned up the dishes. BF got out of work earlier than usual so we were able to go to the gym. It felt good! BF was moody though, which was annoying but he got over it. We had turkey breasts for dinner and they were AMAZING!

Tonight the dance studio I went to growing up is have a fundraiser that is an adult class. They are doing cardio hip hop and a jazz routine. It's $15 so I will definitely go check it out. I cheated and weighed in this morning, and am down 1.3 pounds, but nothing will be official until tomorrow so I want to make sure to sweat it out tonight and try to make that number grow!

*Edited because I'm an idiot who didn't proofread.

Swazzle · April 2016

@southernpeach89 - I can almost picture her little face looking at her hands while there are puffs all stuck to them! She is growing so quickly, I can't believe it.

@PamBeesly524 - Definitely add it! I'm not too far in yet, I think I'm only on chapter 3 or 4 but I'm already hooked. It was $2.99 for Kindle the other day, it probably still is now. Pretty Girls definitely had some WTF moments. I can't believe you're listening to that while you run. Outside. Alone. Last summer, I walked the mile to the train every morning and I had to switch up my book genres because I was getting so freaked out LOL I know you feel a bit disappointed in your time BUT at least you got out there and did it! That is something.

@LizzyTish88 - Have fun at the class tonight! Fingers crossed for a great weigh in tomorrow!

@Swazzle - I hate mornings like that. I was planning on washing my hair this morning (it takes forever to wash and dry) but I woke up late, so... I guess I'll wash it tomorrow. I didn't want to have a rushed morning. Hope your day improves!!

@southernpeach89 - It's hard to believe that Callie is already eating some finger foods!! And all the splashing... it's cute, but it's messy.

@PamBeesly524 - At least you got your run out of the way, even if it sucked. Hope you get your easy evening tonight.

I had a free reward on my Starbucks account that expires next week, so I got a Flat White this morning. Now I'm really wishing I'd got something iced. Go figure.

I had planned to do some picking up around the house and a couple loads of laundry last night. I got home from work, sat for about 20 minutes to rest my back and feet, and then cooked dinner. I was SO PROUD because it's the first time I've handled raw meat on my own since I've been KU. I had to sear the chicken in a skillet. It used to be that the smell of chicken would make me hurl, but I just opened the back door and turned on the fans and it wasn't too bad. The chicken came out really good (H loved it). It was a longer recipe than I've been trying lately so I was feeling a little tired after it.

While I was eating, I started to feel pre-period cramps. Normally before my period, I get very dull cramps for a day or so and I know that my period is coming. So I said out loud, geez, I wasn't expecting my period. And H looked at me and said, well you're pregnant. So then I started feeling some little contractions, which I've been getting every day for a couple weeks now. I called my friend who was an OB nurse and she said to lay down, drink water, and stay in bed. So I did. This morning I don't feel anymore cramps or contractions, but it was so weird! I guess I was on my feet too much, so today and tonight I'll be taking it easy.

[Deleted User] · April 2016

@LizzyTish88 Those classes are some of my favorites! I love hip hop aerobics! It makes working out so much fun!

@swazzle That's exactly what she was doing lol! She was sticking her whole fist in her mouth with the puffs stuck to them but they wouldn't come off lol. She didn't like it if I tried to feed them to her hahaha she wanted to do it herself.

[Deleted User] · April 2016

@CocoBellaF Everything about having a child is messy lol.

PamBeesly524 · April 2016

@LizzyTish88 the class sounds so much fun!

@southernpeach89 I feel like you can buy babies/toddlers all the toys in the world but they're still going to love splashing in water or playing with a bag more

@CocoBellaF Hooray for cooking dinner! And I hope you get to take it easy for the next few days - careful mama!

Swazzle · April 2016

@CocoBellaF - Good choice! That's exactly why I was running behind, I didn't wash my hair yesterday so it needed to be done today. Take it easy! Stay put, K!

jenna8984 · April 2016

@swazzle ugh I hate mornings like that. Yesterday I went to make my smoothie and the OJ that I just bought, the carton felt weird, like full of air. So I looked at the date and it was Feb 22!!!! WTF dude thanks for selling me this on April 17th! So I had to scramble to find a different juice to use in my fridge which we barely have any of. You should just tell your H you'd like to be alone tonight if his friend doesn't mind canceling.

@southernpeach89 aaaw you will need a bathing suit for bath time now! That's adorable.

@lizztish88 have fun at the class, sounds like fun!

@cocobellaf I've heard people on my BMB getting Braxton hicks so early! It's seems normal, even though it doesn't seem right lol

Today is meh. I've added another pillow along with my pregnancy pillow and that seems to be helping a lot this week so that's good! I ordered a prenatal yoga dvd on amazon so I'm excited to give that a try too, even though I've never done yoga. Excited for tomorrow off with my nieces and nephew and grandparents.

I am cracking up because the lady in the office next to me on the phone with her 11 year old daughter and it reminds me of every convo I had with my mom at that age...."Madison, you're not going to wither away, I'm sure there's fruit or yogurt you can eat..." hahahahah. I totally used to call my mom and her coworker friends and ask the dumbest questions about food, cooking, directions to the mall, etc.

jenna8984 · April 2016

@twodimes oooooo good luck H!!!

LizzyTish88 · April 2016

@TwoDimes Fingers crossed for your H! What a great oppertunity.

@jenna8984 I just laughed out loud about that convo because I remember calling my mom at work about stupid shit when I was 11 too!!

[Deleted User] · April 2016

@jenna8984 - BH aren't too bad IME. Mostly they are uncomfortable, and a few times they've been more intense where I've had to stop what I'm doing and just let it pass. My body is just prepping for the Real Deal, so hopefully it'll be somewhat easy!!

[Deleted User] · April 2016

@TwoDimes - Ooooh, fingers crossed!!! Andplusalso, every time I see you post, I think to myself... "she's wearing all the LOFT! WAH!!!!" HA!!

speakeasy14 · April 2016

@CocoBellaF omg I just burst out laughing to your cramps comment hahaha! Definitely a good idea to stay not be on your feet so much if you're cramping and feeling contractions though.

@southernpeach89 oh don't make her stop splashing! Teach her to blow bubbles and make beards out of the soap bubbles instead!

@lizzytish88 have fun! I keep thinking about going back to dance, especially hip hop.

@swazzle

Today's is Emmy's due date!!!! I don't think it's happening today, but yay my niece is almost here!!!! That's all I've got for today.

*I can't type today

Swazzle · April 2016

@jenna8984 - Yea I definitely could do that. We'll see how I'm feeling later on. That's the worst about the juice! I hate when I get home and realize something is expired or about to like the next day.

@TwoDimes - I really liked it! It was nice to have the backstory behind everything actually. I can't wait for the next book to come out -- not until August! I thought I had a cold a few weeks ago and it ended up being allergies and only lasted about 3 days. I hope you feel better quickly! Sending all the vibes to Mr. TwoDimes!

[Deleted User] · April 2016

@speakeasy14 - Yeah it definitely was a "um duh" moment for me. Come on Emmy!!!!

untouchablets · April 2016

Hi!

@pambeesley524 sorry your run went bad! I hate when my workouts don't end up going as well as I hope or think they will.

@cocobellaf I'm so glad you were able to cook without getting sick! Progress! Take is easy though, we need K to cook more!

@lizzytish88 fingers crossed that you have a good weigh in tomorrow!

Yesterday I miraculously was able to get the one day off I needed in order to go on vacation next week! My boss and my coworkers are all getting souvenirs in return for their helpfulness. So on Tuesday night after I get off work Coraline and are are going to pick up BF at his house and head out! We should get to NC around 3:30 am. I'll spend the whole day on Wednesday and Thursday and then Friday I will probably leave around dinner time because I have to work on Saturday morning. It'll be short but nice

Last night I made dinner for BF for like... The third time ever? I made Skinny Baked Broccoli Mac and Cheese from skinnytaste and it was delicious! I decided I wanted to cook more because 1. I don't know anything about cooking and 2. I'm doing really well losing weight but it's impossible for me to track calories on food when we eat out and I want to see more consistent results.

Today I am going to work out and I'm switching my closet over from winter stuff to summer. The weather is getting nicer every day, and also I need to organize myself for my mini vacation!

[Deleted User] · April 2016

@PamBeesly524 Oh it's so true! Callie finds more entertainment with crinkly paper than anything else in the world. WHY do I spend so much money on toys lol?!?

@jenna8984 Oh yea...I was soaked last night. I might just have to get in there with her.

@TwoDimes We definitely took a video but it's on our Tinybeans app that only our family sees so no nude pictures to the world lol.

@speakeasy14 I think our bathroom might suffer water damage if she doesn't stop lol. No but hopefully she will find more entertainment with her toys or something instead or bubbles! I haven't used too many bubbles yet since her body wash doesn't make that many. I need to go buy some bubble bath things.

@untouchablets OMG yum! That sounds delicious!

LizzyTish88 · April 2016

@speakeasy14 Yay Emmy watch!!

@untouchablets That mac sounds so good! NOM.

beachyone15 · April 2016

Good morning! I'm actually feeling pretty great this morning thanks to 9 whole hours of sleep! Why don't I do that more?
Last night H and made an easy, but delicious, chicken sausage, onion, pepper, potato skillet. There wasn't much on tv and I started getting a headache so I turned in early. Tonight I think we'll be making lemon chicken and watching Survivor. I think it's so funny how H used to make fun of me for watching it ("that's not surviving - they give them water to boil and rice to live off of".) But now he's hooked!

@swazzle - I'm sorry your morning started off rough. Hopefully things will turn around!
@southernpeach89 - Callie sounds like such a happy, energetic little girl! I'm sure it's so fun for you and her whenever she discovers new things! That seems like one of the best parts of parenting.
@PamBeesly524 - Sorry your run didn't go as you wanted, but I still think you're a rock star for running 5 miles in the morning. It's all I can do to not hit snooze more than once...or twice..
@LizzyTish88 - Good job on the weight loss!
@CocoBellaF - Take it easy lady! You should take this time as an opportunity to rely on your H. And I'll tell you my secret about hair-washing, bc mine takes forever too. I wash it at night. Even though I shower again in the morning, it takes up so much less time bc all I have to do in the morning is style it.
@jenna8984 - Prenatal yoga sounds interesting! I wonder how it's different from "regular" yoga.
@TwoDimes - Oh no, hope you feel better! All the vibes for H!
@speakeasy14 - I hope she makes her debut soon!!!
@untouchablets - Where in NC are you going again? H and I were there in the fall and it was so beautiful with all the trees changing colors. I bet it's just as pretty in the spring too!

[Deleted User] · April 2016

@beachyone15 It is seriously one of the best parts of being a parent. Every day she does something different and it's fascinating. I love watching her grow and develop. I think one of my favorite things so far is her babbling. I LOVE IT! The day she says "mama" I'm going to be a hot mess. Then I'll probably wish she will stop talking later on because it won't stop lol.

speakeasy14 · April 2016

@untouchablets so glad you were able to get off work, enjoy your trip! Also, yay for deciding to cook more! It is definitely easier to eat healthy when you make the food yourself. Do you do your food shopping at shoprite? Some of the stores offer cooking classes, and you can usually get free classes with your price plus card. The only other store in our area that I know that offers cooking classes is Wegmans.

[Deleted User] · April 2016

Aw geez, having a little bit of spotting this morning. Called my doctor, T&Ps that I don't have to go to L&D today. I know my contracting boss isn't really on the baby train, and he sees all this as an annoyance. Really starting to stress me out. C'mon, I just want 60-70 more days!!

untouchablets · April 2016

@beachyone15 we are going to the outer banks! I've been there three times ever, but his family goes once in the Spring and once in the Fall.

@speakeasy14 Thanks! I don't have a shoprite nearby

I do my shopping at Stop and Shop or Key Food. I did take two semesters of culinary arts in high school but all we really did was make breakfast pizza and watch Top Chef lol I did learn a little but not enough to sustain me in adulthood

labro · April 2016

@Swazzle Congrats on starting your 17th book! You are killing it! I hope you're able to just relax this evening and you feel better tomorrow!

@speakeasy14 Hurry up Emmy! We want to see your beautiful face!!!

@southernpeach89 That video of Callie was SO CUTE last night! I made H watch it with me twice! I'd definitely start with putting towels down on the floor and just go from there.

@PamBeesly524 I'm sorry you didn't feel great on your run today. We all have slow days and I am sure on race day you'll be super pumped and you'll feel great!

I wish I had more exciting things to talk about.

Last night I mowed the lawn and made this SUPER yummy chicken dish. I linked it in my accountability post but here it is again!

http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/roast-chicken-with-potatoes-butternut-squash

It was incredibly easy to put together and hardly made a mess at all. I love one pot meals!

Today is Day 3 of construction! I think he might actually start putting down the floor tile today and building the cement floor for the shower. Otherwise I've got nothing! Hopefully today is less boring at work than yesterday was.

PamBeesly524 · April 2016

@CocoBellaF Thinking of you and hoping that K stays put! Take it easy and try not to be stressed about work - your and K's health and well-being are WAY more important than a grouchy boss.

minskat30 · April 2016

Gah! I think this is an appropriate title for today. I'm swamped at work today with a presentation I have to do tomorrow, my ordinary deals and (again because I mentioned maternity leave to the higher ups...I had to unfortunately) I got new deal assignments late last night...I'm SO irritated at this pattern of trying to organize my deals so I can go on leave and another attorney can take over just to have more assignments assigned to me every.freaking.time I mention mat leave.

Also, Raj's limping is not getting a lot better.

Calling the vet today. I literally have 7 weeks to my due date...how on earth H and I are going to manage to get him in for surgery (likely next week), and through 6 weeks of rough recovery while weeks from my due date is beyond me and makes me want to cry. Thoughts and prayers for him please.

@swazzle - I hate running around like that in the morning...I was the same this a.m. since my alarm was my H and he let me "sleep in" 30 more minutes than I should have.
@southernpeach89 - Callie splish spashing sounds adorable!
@PamBeesly524 - 5 miles in the morning! My God, that is great!!
@LizzyTish88 - Whoooo hooo on the weight loss!
@CocoBellaF - Take it easy lady! Off your feet at least every hour. And LOTS of water.
@jenna8984 - I can't touch my toes...I don't think prenatal yoga would work anymore.

I hope you can and it does.
@TwoDimes - All the things crossed for your H!!!!!
@speakeasy14 - I can't wait for you to be an auntie!!!

PamBeesly524 · April 2016

@minskat30 Thinking of poor Raj! Tell him to take it easy!

[Deleted User] · April 2016

@minskat30 - Oh no, poor Raj and poor Raj's parents. All kinds of T&Ps for you guys.
