Only Wednesday

Anyone else having one of those weeks? "Jeez it's only __day?!" It's been busy but it's going so slow for some reason.

Happy St. Joseph's Day to anyone who celebrates! Looking forward to a buona festa tonight.

Busy-ish after work but all pretty local at least. We're in that weird weather pattern where it's 32 degrees when we leave in the morning but in the 50s by late afternoon. I always struggled with what outerwear to send the kids in (especially since they have outdoor recess and it's only in the 40s around that time)...I'm one of those people who'd rather freeze a bit in the morning and not be too hot later on, but I know some are the opposite. Decided they're old enough to decide for themselves, so there was a variety of outerwear a earlier today.

It's absolutely one of those weeks for me. I'm off Friday, so I feel like today is Thursday, but it also kind of feels like Tuesday. Or something. I'm a mess.

It's mostly SSDD here. I'm still fretting about wanting to kick this cold and making sure I have everything ready for the weekend. In fun news, H just let me know that MIL will be here T-Fri next week. I'm so annoyed that she insists on spending the week here and weekend with his sister. Yes we WFH, but we're working! SIL doesn't work and has the time to entertain her during the day.

Yes!!! This week is taking forever. Even my wfh yesterday dragged and those never do!

btw tomorrow is free cone days at DQ and look at this line up! Free cone day for me equals skip the lines and headaches and spend the $3.75 a day later.

Speaking of cones and things I shouldn’t be eating, project: get healthy day 3 isn’t going so well. I can’t get up early to work out and the veggies in my fridge are boooooring snacks.

@MyNameIsNot someone deciding to invade my WFH space when there was another option to stay with someone who wasn’t working would absolutely send me.

I slept like absolute shit last night. I am so sensitive to sleep and if I’m sleepy I have like ten minutes to try to do it. I am going to murder H. I hit my very tenuous sleep spot, tried to sleep, he wouldn’t shut up, hit my second wind and then was wide awake until 3 am. Then some absolute POS had a super loud car and was racing down our street at 5. I’m prepared to be annoyed today and feel even worse tomorrow.

Anyways, SSDD. I still need to buy a vacuum and honestly it should have already happened. The floor is looking bad.

@CharmedPam You didn't ask for advice, so please feel free to ignore. I try to dress up my snacks. So sliced cucumbers go into a champagne vinegar for a tasty tart snack. I like doing yogurt parfaits with fruit, greek yogurt, and protein granola. I use greek yogurt and the ranch dressing spices to do a lower calorie/fat dressing for raw veggies. I also will sometimes do a carrot receipe that uses a mustard dressing for snacking. I've also done a chopped salad type thing that I used chips to dip. B/c it's about getting the veggies/fruits into you in the healthiest, but also the most likely way for you to eat them. It'll still be a healthy choice b/c the important thing is getting those veggies into your system. Those chips won't derail you if you're having 2-3 servings of veggies with them.

I just signed out for Friday. I'm hoping a 3 day weekend will help with this bit of burnout I'm having. I finally have 2 pretty good days of sleep under my belt, so I'm feeling more human. The saga of my mom's new washer/dryer is finally over, they're being installed today.

Otherwise, SSDD, nothing big going on.

Definitely one of those weeks! Last week before spring break and i'm feeling it. Have a full agenda for the next 2.5 days and trying to fit in a couple workouts as well. Having a quick dinner after school with some friends tonight, then the park if it's not raining. Trying to get my boss on board with a conference in Vegas for 3 days next month, topics are interesting and super relevant....also it's Vegas for 3 days.

I would be LIVID @MyNameIsNot - can your H put a foot down or would that not go well?

I don't know if i'll have time to post Prudie tomorrow (and it's been posting super late in the day on THursday's anyway!) so i'll try to get the weeks columns up today.

Thanks @VarunaTT! I’ll have to look out for that champaign vinegar. It looks good! I do have the dill dip for the raw veggies, alas I think I’m too lazy to make a healthier version of the dip with greek yogurt.

Oh no, I mean I buy the ranch spices and then mix them in the greek yogurt.

Totally agree! This stuff is so good.

I'm like one of the fanatics on their commercial who sometimes sprinkles it on all kinds of foods that you don't necessarily associate with ranch flavor, lol.

Sorry vegetables. You are not the star of that snack. Simply the means of getting this healthier and delicious dip into my mouth!

Oh I know. You underestimate my laziness.

but maybe I’ll give it a try.

Long day in the office. The weather is finally nice here and it’s tanking my motivation. Baby J is still sick but not getting any worse so hoping this is the peak and it’s better from here.

Good luck with that @MyNameIsNot, I can’t imagine anyone staying at my house that long on short notice, even if they were actually invited!

He could, but it's bad timing. I'm kind of waiting out some family drama before I ask him to. So instead I just complain
