What's going well?

AKB090609

DH and I have gotten some bad news regarding a number of things in the past week or two, nothing insurmountable, but enough to weigh pretty heavily and put me down in the dumps. I know a bunch of us are having hard times right now so I'm looking for inspiration and positive things we have going on in our lives right now!

My new job seems to be going well. I'm on day 3 and I think I'm starting to understand the basics.

I finished shopping for Maya's school uniforms this morning. All that's left to get are tights and hair bows, yay!

The weather (does that count?). It is so beautiful here right now, I can't believe it is July in the South. It is definitely having a positive impact on my attitude.

Congrats on the new job, I'm glad it's going well! I think the bow shopping would be my favorite part.

It's Wednesday and I still have more than half the bag of Sweedish Fish I opened on Monday.  That's pretty good for me at this point in my pregnancy where all I want to do is eat gummy candy all damn day.

Yes, the weather absolutely counts!

I am alive. I have been kicking butt at my workouts. That is all I got.

I've applied to two new schools.  All my transcripts are on their way, and so is my FAFSA info.  Until I hear otherwise, I'm choosing to believe that the problems at my last school won't hurt my chances of getting into one of these new ones.  They both have sonography programs, which my previous school did not, so I'm excited.

One of the stocks we held merged with a smaller company and lowered its dividend, so we sold it and made about $1000.  Enough to pay for our family beach vacation this year  

I love that we live so close to South Carolina beaches.

My boss is taking us out to lunch today!!!! And I ordered the cutest invitations for the girls' birthday party yesterday! My SIL is getting married this Saturday, Dh, the kids and I are all in the wedding ($$$), but my wedding photographer is shooting this wedding and she said she'd take a couple of family pictures for me. Yay!

Our house is getting closer and closer to being unpacked. Payday is Friday. Yay, since moving drained ALL the $$. (July was a looong month).

I am going to get home before W goes to bed! I thought I was going to get home much later. I haven't seen my baby for 8 days :-S

DS has exited a very long and torturous fourth trimester.  I actually have a (fairly) content baby who coos and smiles instead of squawking all day long.

I'm getting my hair cut Friday!

We close on our first house tomorrow.

E didn't eat all the noodles last night so I actually have leftovers to eat.

I didn't get charged for the seamstress at our hotel to stitch a pair of shorts that had ripped along the drawstring waist-way beyond what I could do with the hotel needle & thread. Those particular Old Navy shorts helped me through the summer of 2012 and are 1 of 2 pair that fit me right now w/o having to use my belly band. They probably cost me $15, and I was willing to pay to get them repaired rather than having to go out and shop for something that I'll wear for only a short time.

I've actually really enjoyed my DH's 4 weeks of paternity leave. I don't want him to go back next Monday.

Also, I get to go to TJs by myself (well, with DS2) and buy a bottle of wine while I'm there. I haven't had a glass yet. It's the little things.

I'm still losing weight and working out is going really well. It's doing great things for my mood and motivation.

Camden sleeps pretty well and we all have a good routine going.

The house we're selling is set to close sometime in the next 2-3 weeks.

I've been painting my nails every night after the boys go to bed and they are actually kind of long! I've always been a nail biter with very weak nails that rip easily, I'm pretty proud of how they look right now.

This reminds me, it's your fault I'm not hooked on these:

The weather is absolutely perfect here too.

Everyone in our house is healthy at the same time for what feels like the first time in forever.

I ran speedwork for the first time last night, as part of my training for the half, and was faster than I expected.

We did the deed this morning - truly hump day over here.  It'd been a while b/c aunt flo was here all week last week.

My mid year review was great yesterday.

I'm probably going shopping at Marshalls by myself after the kids go to sleep tonight.

The weather here in NY is PERFECT...

 

I finished a 12 hour online class in just under 4 hours.....trying to prove to the district I am worth what (little) they pay me

Rec'd some decent news that they are going to let me fill the 1 position I need filled

Our craftroom/office is halfway done. It's only been almost 2 years since we moved in

I listed five things for sale on eBay this afternoon.  All of them sold already.  \:D/
