What are your 10 things for tuesday?

madisonpeas · August 2012

1. I got suprised that my parents launched a campaign against me that is the same as in the early 90s. Ugh..a RIDICULOUS request about my appearance.

2. and all of us are going on vacation in a few weeks

3. at a place called the Gold.en Ru.le. Yes, really.

4. I'm 38, right? Not 16?

5. E is such a joy! Watching him do new things and make new noises is the highlight of our days.

6. The shooting in WI, much like the gay male suicides a couple of years ago, make me wonder about the small acts of homophobia, racism, transphobia....and that these are the seeds of tragedies.

7. I'm an hour into my work day and already need to clear my head - see #1.

8. My clarity post of a few weeks ago DID NOT reach my parents. Clearly.

9. You know what would help this? Even a little? Still having Pandora at work...

10. I hope you are all having good Tuesdays and that you can witness small acts of kindness, not intolerance.

JGY · August 2012

1. I know I should post a more formal intro on this board (which I now love), but I just haven't done it. I'll get to it. Sorry!

2. Our house is stress, stress, and more stress. Which probably isn't so good for me at just shy of 9 weeks.

3. I'm curious about how mypalbabs's 2WW is going.

4. My FIL and his brother are arriving from Indianapolis on Thursday for 3 weeks, to remodel our 2nd floor. I am so so SOOOO grateful that they are doing this for us. But I'm also acutely aware of how much more stressful this is going to be on me. They are wonderful people and I adore them, but they are not the easiest to people to talk to, and I know that I'll need to be on cooking duty every night (and I really am not so psyched about cooking right now). In addition, I just always feel like I'm not being helpful enough when they are working in our house. I know I need to get over it and just help in any way that I can.

5. It's National Night Out, and while my block isn't doing a formal get-together (for the first time in years), we are having an informal gathering to discuss a recent uptick in crime (specifically break-ins) on our block. Bummer of a reason for catching up, but I'm still excited about it. We have a great block of people.

6. Our puppy FINALLY got his last 3 staples out from the surgery he had 2 weeks ago. He still has another week until he can play with other dogs though, so we'll have to make it through that somehow until he can get the exercise he needs to be a good boy.

7. We are still struggling with finding the right balance of foods/meds to keep puppy healthy and growing but not causing things to come out both ends.

8. I took 3 hours off of work this afternoon to get things squared away at the house and deal with the movers when they come to take our stuff to storage. I'm actually excited about this.

9. I can NOT stop watching the Olympics. This does not help with my insomnia, since there are events being broadcast in the middle of the night. 3am is MY prime time, baby!

10. I'm so happy to have this board. I look forward to many years of following each others' families, and to much happiness through sharing.

8. I've been working on this for awhile and feel like it is all negative. Sorry to be a downer.

It's ok - you read my TTT...right? Big Smile Hang in there

LV1979 · August 2012

1. Had my sinus surgery follow up today and Doc was super happy with how healing was going and said he expects my number of infections to be greatly reduced. Cue Happy Dance.

2. My friends bridal shower is on my birthday so we are celebrating a week early. Bring on the Joe Squared pizza and Hippo. We are mixing our gay boys and our lesbians for a big happy homo outing so it should be fun. Going to the club at 33 oh are my knees going to be mad.

3. I cannot wait for my field placement to start I am so excited about about working inpatient psych.

4. I have really finally come to grips with our baby delay. We decided that we are taking a cruise over Christmas. Neither of us has even been out of the country so it should be fun.

5. My cousin and his wife invited us to visit them in Seattle. We have never been to the West Coast and I am super excited. We may have to wait until next summer though.

6. Getting stitches taken out of your sinuses is a less than pleasant feeling.

7. Our 7 and 6 year old cats have been acting like kittens lately. I love it they have been playing and wrestling like crazy.

8. Our 6 year old cat, Toes, however has also been very needy and constantly wanting to be cuddled. She is complaining right now because my laptop is occupying her space.

9. I love my wife!!!

10. A LOT!!!!!!!

2brides · August 2012

1. last night Carter could NOT fall asleep (probably because he was home sick yesterday and napped on and off all day.) I ended up rocking all 50lbs of him to sleep. I forgot how much I missed those sleepy eyes staring at me as he fell asleep.

2. Had to make one of those parenting decisions this morning. Carter had a fever yesterday and I had planned on staying home with him today. But he woke up at 5:30 this morning bouncing off the walls. He'd been fever free for 14 hrs with no meds and L was staying home sick (meaning I would need to keep him quiet downstairs so she could sleep) so I packed him off to camp. fingers crossed.

3. Going back to TTs poll re: showering. I didn't shower last night because I thought I would be staying home with Carter today. This morning we didn't decide until the last minute that he would be going to camp and hence I would be going to work so I didn't have time to shower. Blech.

4. My ears are still clogged from being sick last week. It is driving me nutty.

5. Why can't I get motivated?

6. I need to take the kids to Target after I pick them up from camp. I would do it before, but they are so excited to pick out new toothpaste. Who knew that picking out toothpaste was that exciting?

7. I have a GYN appt tomorrow morning. The first one since my 6w post baby check-up. Nevermind that my kids are 6y old. Healthcare workers make the worst patients.

8. My interest in the Olympics is waning. I love the fast forward button (we tape them during and then zoom through them.)

9. I am ready for fall tv to come back. Summer tv sucks.

10. I ate my lunch at 11am since I didn't have breakfast. I am going to be starving by 3pm.

butterflygrooves · August 2012

1. I said on the other board that I planned to take an extended break from online activity but TTT is going to be an exception.

2. I treated myself to Starbucks this morning.

3. J didn't have to work until 2pm yesterday and I think had assumed we would spend some time together but my day consisted of dropping the girls off at school, going to WIC, taking Owl in for xrays and a blood draw, dropping prescriptions off, picking my BIL up, dropping Owl amd BIL off at my house, picking Iz up from school, going back to WIC, and finally getting home around 12:30. It was one of those see.I.don't.sit.at.home.eating.bon.bons days.

4. Owl signed to J yesterday that she wanted to eat, I was so proud that she initiated signing rather than mimicking.

5. 108* yesterday, enough said.

6. The girls don't get oudoor recess at school this week due to inclement weather, see #5.

7. I slept hard last night, it was wonderful.

8. Mental Health is coming today to set goals for Owl's therapy, I'm glad one of the therapists has stayed active in helping us.

9. Lisa Ling is an amazing woman.

10. I want to rent a cabin in the mountains over the girls Christmas break so they can experience the snow for more than a few hours.

clairmeij · August 2012

1. Today I am HUNGRY!

2. So far I have eaten 2 boiled eggs, a mango and a peach. I am working on an asian chicken salad and some quinoa and black bean salad. YUM!

3. I am going to do some acupuncture leading up to my next IUI. I'm curious since I've never done it.

4. So many people are leaving my company. It always makes me nervous.

5. I get annoyed when people that are leaving try to drag me into their leaving drama/angst. I think its disrespectful to the people that have chosen to stay. Take your issues and leave, if that's what you think is better for you - but do it quietly.

6. I found the twins advice yesterday good for anyone having a baby. It really makes sense to save where you can.

7. I keep telling myself that I'm going to work hard not to stress out next cycle of ttc. Seems contradictory. Working hard not to stress.

8. I have some onesies that I put in a little corner of our house for when I get prego. My SO will kill me if she finds them

9. I'm ready for autumn. Its been too hot to walk, and I really miss it.

10. Maybe tomorrow I can get up at 6 and get in a 30 minute walk.

FlemFam718 · August 2012

Hi all! I feel like I haven't been on the board in forever. Lots to catch up on! Here are my TTT:

1. I've officially gained 10lbs. I guess that is not so bad for being almost halfway done, but I found it reassuring when I hadn't gained 10lbs yet. Seems dumb, but I'm trying to keep this pregnancy weight under 30 and I'm just getting hungrier!

2. Babycakes is such a mover. He is sitting right up front so it is really easy to track where he is in my belly all day. He is a big, hard lump of a baby in my tummy.

3. I'm obsessed with cloth diapers. I've done so much research and sale scouting. I'm now on restriction from the credit cards. With my registry, I'll have plenty, so I can't buy anymore!

4. We are moving in less than a month to a bigger house that needs some major TLC. The space is needed and it is in our budget, but not having a dishwasher will be tough.

5. My DW is amazing. She is pretty much doing 99% of the packing, moving, and painting herself. We hired movers and seem friends will help with painting, but I feel pretty useless.

6. Finally called about life insurance today. Made me feel old.

7. Back to work in 2 weeks. Summer flies by!

8. Like many others, the Olympics are keeping us up way too late! I'm kind of excited for them to be over, sadly.

9. My mom is already starting to plan our shower. We live in Mass, but are both from different areas, so I think we may have to suffer through 3 showers!

10. It is finally not 100% humidity, so I'm going to take my dog for a long walk in the woods. We both need it!

2moms2b · August 2012

1. Our NT scan is Thursday at 10am CST!!!!! We get to meet with the geneticist first then they blocked out an hour for our ultrasound!

2. Our floors are done and now all that is left in our remodel is small cosmetics. We are so excited after 5 years this place is finally starting to feel like ours.

3. My boss is on vacation all week so I am struggling not to be lazy.

4. Jack's (fur baby) leg is getting much better. He now as long as walking slow will use it but still does the three leg shuffle when he feels the need to pick up the pace.

5. The most hilarious thing is watching the dogs try to play on the wood floors. They just slip and slide.

6. M has been having a rough time at work lately. Her boss is on a tare about too many jobs now and not enough leading into the fall.

7. I feel so much better these last few days.

8. While I have been feeling better, I feel huge! M confirmed with me I have finally popped not only forward but sideways...

9. Have I said I love my new floors!

10. I need to stop playing on the bump or playing solitaire and get back to work.

2mommiesinoh · August 2012

1) I feel like I have been gone a long time.

2) Just when I think things are under control with Ann, we fight over something that does not need to be a fight.

3) Eventually she will understand that I am not always going to just do what she wants anymore right?

4) I need a break and my IN trip cannot come soon enough! 2w 3d!!!!!!!

5) I think my sitter disenrolled the child that Ky bites. (yes she only bites one child all of the time) but I do not want to ask and be rude but I would be SO relieved!

6) I need to figure out when I am out a sitter next spring. I am going to take a vacation then too! NE here we come!

7) I let Ky play in her water table last night and she kept taking the little girl doll and "swimming" it in the water. I asked her what she was doing and she told me, "Ky swim NaeNae (my NE friend's daughter), mama!" AAWWWW!

8) My parents are going to have me take my nephew to a baseball game this weekend...I have not decided how I feel about that.

9) It was so nice out yesterday now it is back to hot. Autumn where are you?

10) My ex said to me today, "Well you should be able to visit your grandma for Christmas now since you are not married to me." my reply, "Just because I am not married to you does not make me less gay." Really? Did that conversation just happen?

laynesmomma · August 2012

1. I always feel like I am not on the board enough to do these, but decided to this time.

2. i wish I had more time and focus to be engaged on the board.

3. I am getting excited to start TTC again in December. After our last go around, I am hoping we will be lucky enough to have a sticky bean and quick. How about 3 tries instead of 5 only to miscarry?

4. TTC is so hard... not looking forward to the ups and downs.

5. We took LO to see Peter Pan in the theatre with Cathy Rigby... she loved it.

6. Even though she is a disney princess fanatic (despite our protest), she is very excited to dress like Peter Pan for her 3rd birthday in October. This makes the Mommas very happy!

7. Some days my brain remains off and I can't quite get it on to work.

8. I would love a vacation.... missing famiily time with this 9 - 5 job.

9. I think that is all I have for today.

10. I can be a woman of few words sometimes...

tdmklm · August 2012

1. I am uber annoyed right now at a handful of people on the September 2010 board. DDs are not cool - especially if the DD is because you realize you looked stupid because of your ignorance (which I admittedly don't know for sure is the case, but why DD otherwise?).

2. Why why why why why are people against LGBT folks having equal rights? Why? If it doesn't affect you in the least, why on earth do you care? Let me worry about my own immortal soul, thankyouverymuch. Personally, I think they're the ones who will have some explaining to do to God. Love thy neighbor as thyself? Hellooooo?

3. J makes my heart melt. He's such an adorable kiddo.

4. We missed this cycle and will probably miss the next one because of timing/travel issues. Can we send thoughts for late ovulation in late August? *sigh*

5. The stress of TTC with this crazy deadline makes me think maybe we should be one and done. I feel like there's another one of us, though.

6. I had to stop writing my TTT because I was being interviewed for a radio show. Second one in two weeks (the other one was NPR, amazingly enough). I'm famous. BWAHAHAHAHAHA

7. I've been eating lots of dairy lately. That's how stressed/sad I am.

8. Yes to ballandchain's ovaries. Way to go!

9. We're going to Florida in a few weeks! It was a last-minute thing, and I'm PSYCHED. PSYCHED, I tell you. I never wanted to go to Disney, but J loves Mickey. I can't wait to take him!

10. I'm going to do C25K. K, my jock wife, can't believe it. She said, "It will ruin your line" because I always say, when people ask me whether I run (they assume I do because she's so athletic), "I'll run if something is chasing me. Like a dinosaur." Stick out tongue

leapgirl8 · August 2012

1. I'm going to get a massage this afternoon. Jen booked it for me as a surprise. Yay! I haven't had one in years.

2. I started reading Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child. The twins version is thin and didn't help much but I've heard so many good things from other parents about the normal version.

3. I just finished reading Gone Girl. Whoosh. It was a fun ride.

4. I'm not good at networking. Even when people open the door for me I feel weird asking them for help.

5. Zulily is going to have a Keens sale starting on Thursday. Perhaps I will accidentally on purpose wait too long to look at it and then they'll be out of my (very popular) size.

6. We went to a marriage equality picnic on Saturday, when it was 103 here. I was so worried about the babies but they were fine. I still kept them in the house in few clothes for the rest of the day

7. I had great intentions of going to bed early last night but my brother called and we talked for almost two hours. It was so good to catch up.

8. I tried to do ring dips at Crossfit yesterday. LOL. That is a ways off.

9. I think my pull-ups are getting better though!

10. We're going out to dinner with my parents tonight, which goes against my "no making plans after baby bedtime" rule, but I don't want to be totally inflexible. Also going out to dinner is nice!

4. We missed this cycle and will probably miss the next one because of timing/travel issues. Can we send thoughts for late ovulation in late August? *sigh*
Well, your good ovulation vibes got me a mature follicle, so I'll do my best to send late ovulation vibes for August.
8. to ballandchain's ovaries. Way to go!
If only all my ovaries needed was encouragement, I'd TOTES be getting pregnant this cycle!
10. I'm going to do C25K. K, my jock wife, can't believe it. She said, "It will ruin your line" because I always say, when people ask me whether I run (they assume I do because she's so athletic), "I'll run if something is chasing me. Like a dinosaur."
I also said I would never run until I did a C25K, and now I run 3x a week. I am the anti-jock, and I'm also married to a jock, though she's not in shape anymore. Early in our relationship, she tried to teach me how to play tennis and I didn't make it past bouncing the ball on the racket. She is hoping our kids inherit some kind of athletic ability from the donor, because she'll be very upset if she doesn't have soccer/little league games to go to.
Anyway -- it's a lot easier to outrun the dinosaur if you've been training for the possibility.
