WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY?!

[JoyRenee]

Time to tell everyone what's going on today, this week, whenever!!!!!

[Michele, Katy, TX]

Not too much going on with me at the moment.  A little nervous (might be in the 2ww), but not too much going on.  We have had tons of rain here this week.  I am glad tomorrow is Thursday!!!!!  I'm super tired.  My 14 month old is teething and hasn't been sleeping well lately.

Wow......what a boring response....LOL!

shadow-look into renter's insurance...at max it's $50/mo depending on amt you insure...we pay $15.88/mo for $30k in valuables(b/c it includes vandalism to cars), $100k in medical for anyone in our home, and $300k for any damage done to our duplex...our landlord has that "flood clause" also.....but knowing we'd be in houston, and freak rains can do wonders, we got it anyways!  heck, it even covers our electronics if anything takes a S*** due to issues with the electrical wiring ;)

as for me-----well, i thought i'd be "happy" when chris left, i'd get that time alone----BS***!!! i'm sooo alooone! hehehe.....let's see, i FINALLY tackled laundry last night and today, so i've got bed linens and chris' work clothes left(takes 2 hrs to dry the smallest loads, so *sigh* 1 load at a time)--i got my bedroom rearranged(lucky ne we have a small dresser, 2 lil nightstands and our bed is on rollers, with tile flooring!)...tonight, it's the living room ;)--if i can, i plan on getting my office redone also!  i have everything set to where it's an "office" but i still have yet to coordinate everything to where it's logical and accessive from this hard yet somehow comfy POS chair ;)  df had wanted me to throw out this armoir the prev tenants left, b/c it's the "blonde" wood with mirror doors, but i think i'm gonna use his "cut tool" and make a hole in the back, and stash the modem, printer and speakers in there ;)  i have a plan....now, where's my danged mouse....**sigh**  i hate having one computer, 2 desks, and still can't find anything ;)

oh and me and the dog and cats cleaned the kitchen last night....dog sniffing my feet nonstop, and of course the cats like sitting in the back of the DW when i'm loading dishes into it? i think they're a lil more than *slow* lol....get this, i even shut the door on one(it was empty and of course i didnt turn it on), but when i opened the door, he had managed to lay himself across the rack, and try to sleep!!!!!   i keep "telling" him if he doesnt stay out, he's gonna learn what the "plate warmer" setting is lol....no i would NEVER do that, but i treat all 3 of them like kids....ya know, if a kid touches the stove he's "going to burn his hand off and take the whole house with him!" lolololol

MB - Manitoba... Same place as I'm from lol  Its in Canada. Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I pretty much just got home from work!  Its so hard coming back from holidays and waking up at 5am for work, especially running a daycare program.  The kids sure have more energy then me right now lol. Hired someone today to take over for me once I'm on mat leave so that's pretty exciting!!!!! Not sure what other plans I'll be having for the rest of the week but getting ready for our field trip on Friday to the Planetarium and MB Museum.  The kids absolutely love it there :P

Im in a weird mood today.. Im irritated by EVERYTHING.. and im starting to irritate myself for feeling this way lol.. Im at work.. for the 3rd day in a row of my 7 day streak.. might not seem much but in those 7 days im putting in about 60 hours so needless to say its becomming a long week.. Next week looks the same as this week so im dreading the rest of the month ugh.. I have an Ob appt tomorrow at 10 before work that i get to go to alone.. and an ultrasound on the 4th that I also get to go to alone.. Baby's dad texted me yesterday and told me he wants to be in the room when the baby is born.. my response? "Well i dont want you to be dating a 15 year old but you are.. you dont always get what you want and i have no sympathy for you so go press your face up against that nursery window and wait." ugh i hate him.. and i know hate isn't a nice word.. but he has royally screwed me over and i will never forgive him.. and all over a stupid little 15 year old girl!

[agomez333]

Was called into work last night due to TS Fay (i work in an er) just to sit around the slowest day in my history working there... Oh well at least I got paid... I am homeschooling my three kids today...
Joy: I wasnervous about hs before I started and itis a blast. You have some bad days, but they are outnumbered by the bad ones. I have a 9th grader, 6th grader, and 5th grader... We have a blast with field trips, movies, experiments, ect...
Just another day in rainy paradise!!

[JoyRenee]

FEOT, painting with yellows/tans/beiges can be difficult! They're hard colors to work with. For instance, we were going to paint our sanctuary a pretty pale yellow and it turned out to look like MUSTARD! We eventually got a pretty mossy green instead.

Wow, sounds like lots of you are at work. I still haven't done the laundry! LOL! I just got done with the posters and it's so hot in my house. I just want to go lay down and nap (not possible, end of naptime is approaching).

louie, where is MB?

[KM604]

I'm back to work after having the day off dealing with Tropical Storm Fay.  No damage done to our house, but we have a swimming pool in our backyard now! LOL.  Other than that, no other excitement.  Just waiting for the day to be over because after my lazy day yesterday all I want to do is nothing!

[FEOT]

woops i cant even spell: Smooth not Smood.

This week has been good so far. Except today a was a little mad, we got some paint for our office, and well the color didnt come out as expected. It has more of a yellowing tone to it than the tan/beige i was looking for. So my boss who came in from Seattle, wasnt mad or anything he just said we will just have to get use it. No big deal, well my co worker who has to kiss *** all the time saw the sample on the wall before i did, if it wasnt good we could have gone back and maybe add a color to it to change it up a little bit. No he said ok cool. So now he calls me on my way to work, saying what was going on that our boss hated the color, mmmm no he didnt tell me he hated it. So now my co worker hates the color, i know the only reason why he even said something was because out boss made a simple comment "its a little yellow, but its brighter and im sure we will all get use to it" he never said he hated the color. Ugh!! It makes me so mad. OK i feel better about that one.
On a better note, i have my 28 week appointment today, im so excited and cant wait to hear my little guys HB again. I also my Glucose testing today, im hoping that comes out fine. Im a little worried though, i think i been having contractions like i cant walk sometimes i feel so much pressure but then as soon as i sit or relax for a bit it goes away. So we will see what they tell me. Other than that week is going pretty smood.
Sorry for the long post :)

i have a major deadline for paperwork that is due tomorrow and i am here typing to you ladies at medhelp.  shows where my brain is at.  I just feel like i barely have helped from my assistant director at work and i want to scream.

Not to say that i should get babied because i am pregnant but at least do your job so i do not have to do both.

[Mumita]

Well today, same as yesterday at work.  Tons of meaningless tasks to do and surfing the net most of the day.  I have been editing a poster of My favorite Quotes, they are all fun and quirky so I've been having fun with that.  Its not work related but it helps me "pretend" that I'm working.
Anyone have any good quotes?

[browneyedmama]

well today ive been slacking off at work... i only have till next friday... then im done!!  ive already trained my replacement so i have NOTHING to do at all. i am so BORED!!  
tomorrow im getting my hair cut... i think im gonna get a pretty drastic cut, i need a change.  i have my 36 week checkup on friday, and he's gonna do an internal. im pretty excited. im hoping that im progressing nicely down there. lol

[sweetangel7]

OH...hope your daycare situation works itself out!

[sweetangel7]

Joy: that school drive sounds great!

Laura: hang in there!

Louie: wish my kitchen was clean...if you find that sweeping monkey, ship him my way!

Shadow: ah, the joys of renting!  Too bad about your stuff!

OK...This week is my last week before school starts...trying to just relax (nap, stay at home, do a little shopping...) because next week is super busy on top of my return to school I will be interviewing the candidates for Superintendent all evening almost every evening...5-9:30.  I have an appointment on Friday with my obgyn...I think they are only doing more bloodwork.  I am eager to have my appointment and hopefully I'll get continued good news!  Keep me in your thoughts ladies!

[shadowserpent]

its my sons first day of kindergarten so im nervous, and my basement has apparently been flooded for at least 2 weeks, as thats the last time it rained.... i went to get something out of it and theres 2 feet of water, all the stuff i had down there is destroyed and my landlord sneakily put a flood clause in my lease, but never told me the basement flooded, so im SOL.    it gets better... i know it does...... cant wait till lease is up in january.

[louieforlaughs]

nothing much is up, just did my days work of a total of five minutes outside (brought sheep in for breeding, go out in six hours to put delice on them and their pregnecol shots) after this i will do data entry for the rest of the day. kitchens clean so that makes me a happy monkey. now if only i had a monkey to sweep the floor...

[LauraB78]

I am still dealing with BS w. the ex... It's neverending and frustrating..

Aside from that I am awaiting blood test results for Quad testing, I believe that is what this round was for.. **sigh** I get confused w/ all the poking/prodding/and testing that comes along w/ pregnancy...

[JoyRenee]

Girl, you just had a baby! Don't worry about the laundry!!! Or get hubby to help you after the kids are in bed. I have a few mounds to fold and a couple to wash. *SIGH* It never ends...

[LosingMyMindInGA]

I don't even wanna TALK about laundry....lol mountains and mountais of laundry!

[LosingMyMindInGA]

UGGGG....trying to find better childcare.  I've had issues with my daycare lady for awhile now.  Nothing MAJOR ..but still...I'm not comfortable leaving my infant with her. I've got my girls in the afterschool program but I'm having a hard time finding something for my boys.  There's hardly anyone around here who takes infants under 8-9 mos.  Then if I find one that DOES, they have no openings, are WAY out of my way or are in the ghetto!! Sigh! This *****.  

Aside from daycare woes, things are going well.  Hubby got a good raise at work so that's a plus.  Gabe is a wonderful baby.  I'm not nearly as sleep deprived this time as I was the  last two times but I still stay tired most of the time. Just don't have much free time righ tnow!

[JoyRenee]

OKay so what's up for me today:

-second day of homeschooling my preschooler... I don't know why I was so nervous to start! It's so much fun!!! We learned about Dogs and Triangles today. We used lots of glitter.

-our church is hosting a Backpack and School Supply Drive. Kids from the projects get to come and get new backpacks and school supplies for FREE!!! So I have to make some big posters for that and help pass out school supplies. We have close to 800 students to fill backpacks for.

-Just relaxing now that the kiddos are napping. About to vacuum and fold laundry!
