  Last Friday, my husband and I took the kids to his uncle's house to pick out a puppy from his dog's litter. We got the sweetest little boxer/lab mix and everything was hunky dory.
  
  I am here to confess that I almost took that damn dog back to his mama Friday night.
  
  I was up every twenty minutes. He did nothing but CRY all night long. I took him in the living room and he would not settle down. Cried and whined, no matter what I did. I had my shoes on and everything, ready to go take him back and tell the kids we could get a dog when they were big enough to get up in the middle of the night with it.
  
  Of course, I did no such thing and now Hank sleeps through the night, but STILL. I'm not one to get rid of animals because I'm tired of them, but oh. I was so tired of him last week.

  I can hear DS yelling for me from his crib, but I'm still snuggled in bed and not moving. He's not upset or anything, he'll be fine for a couple more minutes.

  My supervisor didn't tell me he was taking today off until about 10 minutes until time to leave work yesterday. I didn't lie but I didn't let on that this was a surprise to me. If I had said that he hadn't told me then he would begin a big huge thing about how he did tell me, I forgot, I should have wrote it down & blah Bob Loblaw. I just didn't want to hear it & I certainly didn't want him to reconsider taking today off for any reason.

  Happy Friday to me!

   DH had plans to go to a brewery tonight for their weekly "tasting" with friends.  $10 to get in, supposedly gets you 2 tickets for drinks, but really it's all you can drink in about 3 hours.  They do it out in the front of the brewery with live music and now that weather is getting nice, he really wants to go.  I gave him a hard time on Monday about making these plans because he was out of town from Tuesday early until last night (got in at midnight) and I wanted to spend Friday night with him.  He said if it was raining on Friday he wouldn't go anyways.  Well, it's raining, so I get what I want, but I just got an invite to something tonight at the local garden nursery for 20% off everything and now I want to go to that (without DH).

  I cried on the airplane last night after my flight was delayed more than an hour, I had to go to the front three times so they could figure out all the information they needed from me to check my bag since there was no room left for it in the overhead, and then a flight attendant wouldn't let me back to my seat, telling me she'd just seated a child there. Yup. I lost it. And, well, it worked. A different flight attendant took pity on me and took me back to my (empty) seat. Stupid air travel. What a CF.

  My feet are starting to swell already. So I'm wearing sandals to work that are 1 step above flip flops to the office. I'm self conscious but comfort triumphs. Our office is casual but flip flips are not very acceptable. I also deal regularly w all the higher ups. Not everyone knows I'm pg. They just think I'm a slob.

  I have so much pain in my throat from allergies that I can't even swallow. Last night, because I hadn't slept at all, I went to find pain reliever in our bathroom. I didn't care what it was or whether to look and see if it was OK to take. I didn't give a shit to be honest, it is that bad. AND I would take whatever today if I knew it would help alleviate the soreness and inability to swallow my own damn spit.

  
  

  
  

  Now I'm sitting here with the same pain and the only thing I'm being told to do is have hot tea with honey. Forget that, I'll rip my esophagus out in order to get some relief this morning.

  I told my work that daycare said I needed to pick up T an hour or two early because his allergies were unbearable. I really wanted to hit up a consignment sale yesterday.

  
  

  And based on my last FFFC above, it looks like karma has come back to bite me in the ass. I definitely deserved that one.

  Also, here's a big ol' confession for you...
  
  We're buying a house. My credit is ruined because I was once 18 and STUPID with too many credit cards and not paying my student loans. I'm out of debt now, but my credit is still ruined. DH's credit is okay, but he has a foreclosure on his record from five years ago when he was divorcing his ex-wife.
  
  So my MIL is buying us a house and we're paying the loan.
  
  ETA: We make more than enough to pay for and own a home, we just can't get financing. Unless we rent (which is hard to do in our town unless we want to live in the ghetto or a nasty house), this is our only option. I am at peace with it. I'm excited.

  Thank you. I did that this morning when I got into work. I really hope no one else was in the ladies room.

  
  

  Curly - No one has honey or lemon so I'm screwed until at least 6PM. I did get some tea from my manager though. Now the damn thing is too hot to drink so I'm waiting.

  Being told by your dr? I'm surprised they didn't want to see you. A sore throat that bad could be strep. I don't blame you at all for taking something I would have too.

  I had to take the 3 hour glucose test yesterday. To reward myself, I took the entire day off from work and afterwards had a facial. I was in such a state of relaxation after the facial and probably in some kind of food intoxication after not eating all day and then having a big meal just before my appointment at the spa. I was totally a sellers dream and bought all the recommended products. My brain left my head, because I usually am very cautious about what products I use when I am pregnant. I also spent almost $100 on the products, and I am usually a bit more frugal! As my mind functioning is returning, I am researching Murad products, the stuff pushed on me that I bought. I will probably end up returning it all even though it's reported to be mostly safe for pregnant woman. I probably would have bought almost anything after that facial yesterday.
  By the way, my skin does look and feel great!
