1. life

2. LO and I have the same cold for 3 weeks now =(

3. i keep driving around with my peacoat strap hanging out the door, flapping against the side of my car (that's how i know it's outside--because i heard it flapping against the door...although the first time i heard it, i thought something was wrong with the car) and then it gets soaked from the rain. i did it twice within an hr too which was odd because i thought i double-checked that it was inside but i guess it must've fell out again right as i was closing the door?

4. easter

1. that I have a job

2. i need to whine about Congress not passing a budget - it affects too many people's jobs!

3. I probably haven't washed my hair since Monday.

4. i'm looking forward to my brother's wedding next weekend b/c LO will get to see his cousin who he hasn't seen since Xmas of 2009.

1. something you're grateful for I've finished the two school assignments that were do this week. Doing my Masters while simultaneously working and taking care of the boys has been harder than I expected (and I expected it to be hard!). Luckily, I don't have assignments due at the same time for the rest of the semester so at least that should be easier.

2. something to whine about I may DD this later...my job sucks. Or rather, my workplace sucks (I enjoy my actual job). It's been in a downward spiral for about a year now and has gotten to the point where I actively dread going in every day. It's petty, uptight, and promotions and opportunities are doled out due to overt favoritism and not who actually deserves it. The whole structure is waaaaay too top heavy, and that's made even crappier because management is ineffective at best and bullying at worst. I know I should be grateful to have such an incredibly secure (if not uber high paying) job, but instead I just feel miserable, especially because there are so few opportunities to shift jobs to a different library in the area where I live.

3. something embarrassing I am crazy gassy today and I can't figure out why. I haven't eaten any of the things that usually make me farty, but holy hell it's nasty. Thank god I'm not at work today!

4. something you're looking forward to The weekend. Cliche, but true! I like it when Ben and the boys and I can all just hang out.

1. something you're grateful for I just finished an awesome dress rehearsal for my Chorus Spring Concert. (I direct 40 4th and 5th graders).  I finished all the costumes except one, and the kids did well, and I finished programming my light cues after rehearsal, and still made it home in time to put Henry to bed!  Yay!

2. something to whine about I have a massive, throbbing toothache.  I had some dental work done last week, and it actually made one tooth worse (it was expected that this might happen).  I now need a root canal, but because of my super busy work schedule right now, I can't get in to do it until next Thursday.  I'm living on Advil during the day and T3s at night.

3. something embarrassing I'm a little embarrassed that I was a bit snippy with a few of my coworkers today.  I normally am much more patient and kind (I think!), but not only am I crazy busy this week (today especially), but see #2.  I was not as nice as I could have been.

4. something you're looking forward to My Chorus Concert being done (and then Chorus is done until September!!!) next week!

1. something you're grateful for having a flexible work hours - I went back to work this week, and I'm leaving the office at 4 in order to get home in time to feed E and put him down for the night.  we'll see how long I can keep it up

2. something to whine about I'd rather be home hanging out with E than working   oh, and I hate pumping.  I'd been pumping once/day for weeks now to rebuild my freezer stash, and that was tolerable, but since going back to work, i'm at 3x/day, and it sucks.

3. something embarrassing Not only do I not wash my face or my hair (or shower) regularly anymore, other personal hygiene habits have fallen by the wayside too.  It's a good day if I remember to brush my teeth both morning and night!

4. something you're looking forward to The weekend!  and hanging out at home with MH and E
