I'm bored and want to "talk" today
But I don't have anything interesting to talk about.
What's going on with everyone? Anything fun, exciting, new? Anything to complain about?
Tomorrow will be one year since I was laid off from my job. I never went back to work after Tyler was born. It's been a year of real ups and downs for me.......I will be glad to have this particular "anniversary" over with.

Hey now, don't count me out yet. I just logged on. Although, I don't have too much to say. I have a ton of work to get done before I leave tonight and then I will officially be on maternity leave! I jsut procrastinated on some stuff now I need to catch up before I take off.
I am excited DD's birthday is tomorrow. I did run out to get some cool stuff to decorate her cake with - we shall see how it turns out. Then we have her party on Saturday and Halloween on Sunday. Then, I am wondering if all the excitement will make me go into labor. As long as DD doesn't feel slighted in the least, then I am cool.
Oh, she almost made me cry this morning. She woke up crying with tears streaming down her face. I am not sure if she was all the way awake or not but she was crying and telling me that no one would play with her. Then she said that they kept telling her that it wasn't her birthday and they wouldn't play with her. She was so upset. I told her that her birthday is tomorrow and we will make a cake tomorrow and have a party on Saturday. I felt so bad for her because it seemed so real to her.
This is on the trivial side, but I'll bite. A few weeks ago it was freezing here at work. I mean to the point where I had goosebumps and was shivering if I didn't have a jacket. Today it is a freaking oven. I cannot win.
ETA: Suddenly the soup I packed for lunch is not seeming like such a good idea now.
I have officially made my last day of work tomorrow. I think working to 40 weeks is plenty. I don't have to come back to work until January 24th. Woot!
I am really excited for Charlotte to go trick or treating and dress up this year and I want to go with her. So, I'm torn because I also want this baby out of me ASAP. Either way, my Mom will be in town to take her if I can't. She loves my Mom, seriously.
Here's the random things on my mind...
I gagged when I brushed my teeth this morning and I got all excited!! When I was pregnant with Addyston I gagged EVERY. SINGLE. MORNING. It's too early to test but my boobs have been sore, my back hurts, I have cramping and now the gagging. I am probably setting myself up for a big let down but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I am pregnant this cycle.
I am SO excited for it to finally cool down. I really hate summer, and it's pretty much been ruining my favorite season for me this year!
DH turns the big 40 on the 18th and I really want to throw him a party of some sort but our house is entirely too small and I don't want to spend $500 just to rent out a hall somewhere on top of food and decorations etc... so I am lost as to what I should do for him. Any ideas??
I'm hungry already and I didn't bring lunch...what sounds good? Chipotle sounds pretty good but I always feel so stuffed after I eat there and miserable.
I'm meeting with my attorney tomorrow sign all the final bankruptcy paperwork. Now we just have to wait for my MIL to get her a$$ in gear and sign her share (she's H's POA) sometime next week. I swear if she drags her feet on this I will lose it.
My divorce lawyer thinks I'll be able to file around Valentine's Day. That's also the day we got engaged. How poetic?
I haven't got any further than an outline for my speech, but I've got an outfit picked out. Obviously, I've got my priorities straight.
In happier news, we get to to TOTing with the awesome identicaltwins family on Sunday. Jealous?
This is the best thing I have read today. I am sending you tons of baby dust
I hope you keep on gagging 
Agreed. Gag baby gag!
Thanksgiving is a month away and the drama has already started. Both my sister and I have DH's whose parents are divorced, so there's a lot of places to go. My mom, who sees us at least 3 times a week, my sister 7 days a week, threw a fit about not being able to have Thanksgiving on Thursday b/c my sister was going to see the in-laws. Now I have a month of drama to look forward to. Can we just skip the holidays this year?
On a good note DD is still waking several times a night, but goes down really easy, pretty much just lay her back down, pat a few times and walk out. She has begun to poop in the middle of the night though which I can't figure out. I'll take it though, so much better than where we were!
I can relate here. I left my job of 2 years a few months before my wedding because they refused to give me the time off that I needed. My wedding was in NY and with the honeymoon I needed 2 weeks off and only had 1 week of vacation. It sucked, they wouldn't even let me take time without pay. So I had to leave and hope to find something else after the wedding... which never happened. I looked for a job from last Oct-March and then found out I was pregnant. In the meantime I was nannying for a newborn and after I found out I was pregnant I took a summer nanny job. I love nannying but that definitely wasn't the plan. Things never work out the way you want/think... but I am trying to roll with it now. In a way not having a job was a blessing because we ended up buying a house that was much less expensive than we originally planned and we aren't living beyond our means. I think I would have SAH even if I had found another job, so it worked out... ok now I'm rambling.
In other news, I ended up at the hospital last night from midnight-3am because of a severe headache and high blood pressure. The doctor thought it'd be a good idea to go in. They monitored my blood pressure and that's fine now, but the headache is still there. Hoping it subsides before my 35 week appointment tomorrow.
I am!
Daylight savings ends NEXT weekend. I was thinking it was this weekend, too, so I looked it up, and it's actually next weekend. Now you can delay the bedtime issues for another week! Yay!
I've been on vacation this week so it has been fun to hang out with Elena all day. I'm made dinner every night and the house is actually reasonably clean. It's been kind of relaxing to not have to stress about cooking and cleaning after work.
Trick or treat is tonight in our town. I'm excited to take Elena out. We've been working on her saying trick or treat. She is excited for the candy.
I'm graduating with my 2nd bachelors degree in 7 weeks. I'm really excited about that, but at the same time I have no motivation anymore. So many of my classes right now have assignments that I feel are just pointless and a waste of time. Frustrating. I have 3 journal entries due a week, and writing about what I feel professionalism is. Really?? What does it matter what I feel about it! I would much rather spend my time studying for NCLEX and my critical care class. I had a big exam yesterday, and it was brutal. I literally almost started crying half way through b/c it was just incredibly hard. Normally grades are posted to blackboard within a few hours, of course we get an email saying that wont be posted for 24hours. So I worried all day yesterday, hardly slept last night, preoccupied through 2 big meeting today, and finally grades are posted and I did better than I thought! (relief!) No point to this really, other than rambling thoughts.
