Time for Ten Things Tuesdays?

rondokye · March 2014

Is it time? I've been so caught up in work for the past few weeks, that I've not been able to participate.

And go!

rondokye · March 2014

Here are mine for the week:

1. DH took a sick day to stay home with E. She was sent home from daycare yesterday with a fever and is now on meds for a sinus infection. That cold she caught in January just won't go away!

2. I am so grateful to DH for staying home today. With me only working in the office three days a week, plus with all of the snow days we have had, I feel like I am so behind. He gets naughty time tonight as a sign of my appreciation.

3. But, I am a little annoyed that she couldn't go to daycare today. She had her temp taken five times yesterday and the one time that it was high, was at daycare - 100.1. Ugh. Its the law of babies, right?

4. We reached a sad milestone at our house last night. E figured out that she could pull herself up in the crib and I walked in on her playing with the mobile. Time for it to come down. Her crib looks so empty without it.

5. Some of my co-irkers in other departments are really bothering me today. Their lack of ability to do theirs jobs is starting to greatly impede my ability to do mine.

6. Time to stop playing nice.

7. I am starting a new diet/workout routine on Monday. Its the new Beachbody program - the 21-Day Fix. It comes with 30 minutes workouts that you do every day, plus food containers that you eat from to help control your portions. I am really looking forward to the workouts. I am terrified of the containers. They are so TINY!

8. I am currently binging this week on fasnachts and Shamrock Shakes in anticipation of starving next week.

9. #8 is why I really need a food program.

10. I am really looking forward to the March book club selection - Stephen King!

@rondokye screw a hook into the ceiling and hang the mobile from a ribbon higher above the crib. It's safe and still looks cute.

1. Had a super fun playdate with @ramy3695 and her kids yesterday.

2. I really feel like super fun should be one word. Superfun.

3. Finally found a food besides bread LO will actually ingest: spinach nuggets.

4. LO figured out how to roll into his side this morning. While I was changing his diaper of course.

5. Guess I'm going to skim through The Shining again real fast this week.

6. I love scary books and scary movies. We went to see Stephen Kings's house when we were in Maine. It's less creepy than you'd think.

7. LO is napping on my lap and dreaming about eating.

8. We're headed to music class after LO's nap.

9. Both dogs have taken to sleeping on top of my husband at night. He complains but I know he loves it.

10. I hate the Target by me so much. I'm going out of my way and through traffic to go to the next closest Target today. That one is not much better.

1. @rondokye why when I look it up does it say that the 21-Day Fix has to be pre-ordered and won't ship until April

How do you have it already, I'm sad.

2. The nanny apparently makes her own hours now? She got here at 8:30 today instead of our agreed upon 9 for each day. She's done it several times. Oh well, I guess it's better than being late?

3. I'm almost too lazy to come up with 7 more things.

4. The snow outside my window is beautiful, but Spring would be much prettier.

5. I made the most delicious spaghetti ever yesterday evening, fail on the diet but at least I used whole wheat noodles?

6. I don't think I'm allowing cookies of any kind in my house ever again.

7. Eating cheese and grapes is almost as good as cheese and wine, NOT.

8. Yesterday pissed me off.

9. I wish I knew whether or not my brother has gotten into the Coast Guard Academy for a summer program because until I know I can't really plan out my summer vacations.

10. I wish I was as smart as my brother. I could've gone to a much better school if I had been 1st in my class and spanked my ACT's and SAT's like he has.

rondokye · March 2014

@Asbromle, I don't know. I read/heard that too but when I ordered mine, it came within five days. And no diet fail if you used whole wheat noodles. That totally counts as healthy, regardless of whatever you put on the pasta. And again, this is why I need a food program.

fabk · March 2014

1. I am stuck in IL hell for at least 2 more hours.
2. It would be more manageable if MIL stopped talking.
3. Mil gave A scrambeled eggs this morning without asking. Not a problem except it was made with wcm.
4.To this day I don't digest wcm well.
5. Apparently neither does my son.
6. Fun times
7. I am looking forward to pancakes and bacon tonight!
8. I am also looking forward to swimming tomorrow. Alex figured out how to "jump" into the pool last week!
9. I really can't wait to go home.
10.I am really boring this week.

jennipalmer · March 2014

1.) Today is my daughter's 14th birthday
2.) I am still upset with her, she was sucking up but no apologies.
3.) Between 845pm and 1145pm Liam woke up every 15-20 minutes crying and thrashing for about 3 minutes each time. Nothing would soothe him.
4.) 6am he is happy but mommy is tired and bumping
5.) DH is driving in DC because he is only one in his group that has experience driving in snow. He of course told me roads are icey so, I am tired and worried.
6.) Googled implantation bleeding I still don't have AF but spotted on Saturday considering POAS but on the fence if it is to soon or I am just getting AF back.
7.) Can't wait for corn beef and cabbage but waiting for DH since he and I are the only ones who like it but he will be home after St Patricks Day.
8.) Thinking of what is for dinner this early is making me hungry.
9.) Nursing now so maybe I will get morning nap!
10.) Yesterday my daughter secretly recorded me singing to Salt and Pepa then posted to instagram

@jennipalmer number 10 is awesome

Kitten80 · March 2014

1. Whenever I participate in 10 things Tuesday, it evidently takes me waaaay to long to type them - it will have no responses when I start and 20 when I'm done.

2. We are sick. Again.

3. Because of #2 - For the first time in a long time I am "not at peace" with life at the moment.

4. I am trying to be not grumpy about it because I know it could be worse.

5. I'm mad at preschool. They have not actively listed the pre-k program for next year and therefore currently do not have enough kids for it. For a bunch of reasons this screws us royally.

6. #5 has kept me up at night and made me cry for the first time in forever.

7. I have finally made progress on the house. Yay!

8. I still have a long way to go on the house -boo!

9. Sometimes I wish I could buy a new place, move in and decorate over time and then discard what I don't use. Or use a giant warehouse to spread everything out into like categories and sort/purge/re organize.

10. Since we are sick, I don't care that it is cold outside.

1. My inbox is sooo full this morning. Procrastination-mode with 10 Things Tuesday!

2. It's a triple venti latte kinda day--LO was up 4 or 5 times last night. He does not like us trying to trick him by having DH go in there and give him his paci and rub his belly. He cries, MOARRR BOOOBS!

3. I am trying to send bigger bottles and more solids to DC so I know for sure he is getting enough to eat in the daytime. Since my boobs seem to be maxed out and I can't pump enough for his bottles, we're now sending two 5-oz bottles of milk and a 6 oz bottle of PEPSI!

4. LO made the funniest face when I gave him a few puffs last night--he enjoyed moving them around the high chair tray but when I put one in his mouth to taste it and see the texture he gave me a face like, "da fuq, mom?!?!"

5. DH and I are trying to figure out where we can take a few trips with the boys this year--we are thinking two nights in Glenwood Springs/Aspen at the end of March, 4-5 days in Chicago in May, and 4-5 days in Lake Tahoe in August.

6. Now we just need the motivation to book all of this. Sounds like a lot of work! I'm tired.

7. Yesterday at yoga our teacher was talking toward the end of class about how we rely on vices like caffeine in the morning and wine "or other substances" in the evenings and how we should focus on managing our energy better...I kinda wanted to bitch slap (instead of bow/namaste) her for trying to take away my coffee and my wine!

8. I decided it is really damn hard to have the focus/balance/strength to do yoga well when I haven't slept in over 7 months. At least I have a good excuse to be falling out of poses, I guess!

9. PSA--gap and banana republic are having 35% off (40% for cardholders) through the end of today (online only)--I reallllly want to order some new spring stuff from gap--I love spring clothes! I'm ready for flip flop season!

10. too tired for a 10th thing.

[Deleted User] · March 2014

@casey78 I loved the mouse. I think it should just be a permanent part of your siggy. Also, grrr at that jogging stroller

@missymr I'd be honest with the girl, just tell her what happened with your office. What profession are you in? Also, I hope your LO isn't sick

Karebear6978 · March 2014

@DenverBride2005 we usually are always in Tahoe in August since that iswhere aand when dh and I got married! I absolutely love it

saphires · March 2014

1. My MIL annoys me. She has LO's 6 month professional pics hanging on her wall before I do. I haven't even received the disc yet. She prints them off the photographers FB page.
2. I can't wait for lunch. STARVING.
3. @casey78 I love that the jogging stroller is always mentioned in your 10 things. BTW, I bought the one you recommended.. love it already. Thank you!
4. I am so sick of winter. My child has had a runny nose/cough since January, it will go away for a couple days and then bam back again.
5. I hate sucking boogers out of his nose he acts like I am trying to torture him.
6. I am also torturing him when getting him dressed in the morning.
7. I think I'm going to POAS today. I highly doubt it will be + but I've been having some different things going on lately that make me suspicious.
8. Need to finish baby proofing the house, B is getting ready to crawl.
9. I am so excited it is suppose to warm up this week, temps above freezing for once, melt snow MELT!
10. I had a really really hard time coming up with 10.

chiboo9 · March 2014

1. We found a new babysitter!!!

2. We met with her last week and brought LO so they can meet. LO couldn't contain her excitement from all the new toys at new sitter's house.

3. While I'm excited about new babysitter, I'm still feeling very emotional about current babysitter moving. Friday is LO's last day with her. I feel like she broke up with us.

4. I'm seriously addicted to Dunkin Donuts hash browns. Every time I eat them, I get in my happy place and can't be bothered by anything.

5. I tried keeping up with the Parenting FFFC/UO thread yesterday but it moved way too fast.

6. I always feel lost when it comes to reading about politics.

7. LO's on the verge of crawling. I know it's a milestone to celebrate, but I has a sad about how fast this is all going.

8. I just feel like when she's mobile, she won't have any interest in hanging out in my arms anymore.

9. I mentioned to DH about having moar babies but he wasn't having it.

10. I feel like I'm always eating my feelings away. Food just makes me so happy.

rondokye · March 2014

jennipalmer, is that why you are mad at your daughter? Are you going to share this instagram classic with the rest of us?

\:D/

redrocksmama · March 2014

1. I ate 2 large cranberry orange flax muffins for breakfast.
2. Even though they are kinda healthy, I feel like a pig.
3. H & I had a big, nasty fight on Sunday.
4. He was scheduled to leave on a business trip that day, and went to the airport early.
5. I haven't talked to him since, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't talk until he gets home Thurs night.
6. I realized I am way, way overdue for an oil change so I'm sneaking out for a little while today to get one.
7. Car maintenance is my least favorite chore.
8. Our nanny came in 1.5 hours late. She texted me last night saying she wasn't feeling great and wanted to sleep in.
9. I let her, but I have a strong suspicion she's full of it.
10. Sorry this isn't the most uplifting 10 things! Feels good to get it out though.

jennipalmer · March 2014

@rondokye no I am mad at her snotty attitude and comments I mentioned in a post. I don't know how to post video

rondokye · March 2014

@jennipalmer, sorry to hear about that.

I missed the post.

KMRR86 · March 2014

1) My parents kicked my brother out yesterday. He is 22 and was mostly living with his girlfriend anyways.... he had a shitty attitude and they had had enough so I got to mediate world war III.

2) We have definitely decided to do a wine tour cruise for my friend's bachelorette in April. I've never been on a wine tour so it should be fun.

3) I took lo to my parents so I could help my brother pack his clothes and my dad was on the floor playing with Lily... it was so cute! He's a manly man who isn't really into babies so it makes it even more cute when he plays with her.

4) I'm in a Netflix binge. I'm loving it. I watched a documentary called Babies that follows four babies from different cultures, it was so cute.

5) I'm also watching Mad Men. I'm loving it.

6) We're going to venture out to the book store today.

7) lo and I both slept so well last night. It was excellent. We were both really tired.

8) My cat wants to sleep where I put my feet. So irritating. For real, cat, just move six inches to the left and it's all good.

9) Dh says there needs to be less chocolate in the house because he has no will power and is weak.

10) This gif makes me lol

chiboo9 · March 2014

@KMRR86 I watched Babies when I was on mat leave! So cute! It's amazing how babies are raised so differently, and survive, in other countries/cultures.
