I am in need of some happy thoughts to get me through this day!
Lets here all about what is good in your life right now!
Lets here all about what is good in your life right now!
Re: 10 Things Tuesday!
2. I had the annual benefit I'm a chair for last night and it went so well and we made so much money for a good cause (childhood food insecurity).
3. I'm entering fertile week and I'm so much more relaxed about it then I've ever been. Finally learning to chill.
4. I'm so thankful to have insurance. The bill for all my testing from my last unsuccessful pregnancy came in and holy $%!**!! I'm glad that I only have to pay $50 and not $1500.
5. The neighbor behind us told us he's have two huge oak trees cut down, which means a little less privacy but a lot more sun on our pool.
6. I packed myself a healthy lunch today with lots of good-for-you snacks
7. My new intern is really sweet and a hard worker- and helping me with my French!
8. My friend from the UK is coming for a visit in a few weeks. I only get to see her every other year but it's always so nice to catch up.
9. I planted four peony bushes a few weeks ago and they're starting to come up!
10. I have a reasonable amount of work today so I can totally come bump in between tasks
2. We went to this super touristy place where we got our photos taken and had lunch.
3. Then we went to the casino and spent too much money and didn't win anything.
4. Then we went home and had a nap.
5. Then we went to our favourite dinner place that's a Brazilian barbecue so all you can eat meat. Yum.
6. My Mama cat was super cuddly all day yesterday.
7. Moody teenager cat was also ridiculously cuddly yesterday. He never wants pets so it was super nice.
8. Going to H's mom's for dinner tonight.
9. Get to meet my cousin's new baby on Sunday!
10. Only 4 days til payday haha

2. I was on a work call this morning and someone on the call told me that during our company's last executive meeting, a couple of people there were saying very positive things about me and the work I've done lately
3. OH has decided to go vegetarian for sustainability/ecological reasons and so I'm taking it as an opportunity to do more cooking. I haven't done a significant amount of cooking since the last time I went paleo (which I thoroughly enjoyed!). Cooking vegetarian forces me to think outside of my comfort zone though because I normally use a lot of fish and chicken.
4. Warm weather has managed to stay and not get drastically hot/humid.
5. Packing away winter clothes like whaaaaat.
6. AF is due either today, tomorrow, or the next day and this whole "not testing unless I absolutely have to" thing has got me so chill about everything. I think last month I was a weepy mess. This month I'm side-eyeing past me
7. As a prank, I ordered a bunch of googly eyes off Amazon and am putting them on everything in our pantry so OH is going to come home later to this (except imagine it on like... 150 items lol):
8. Amazon keeps recommending these adorable baby costumes to me and I can't stop looking at them. Yes, I want to dress a baby up as a lion. Yes, I'm crazy.
9. I got Sigur Ros tickets for this fall
10. I'm watching paternity test episodes of Maury Povich right now and it's so bad it's good.
2. Although I know a lot of the posts on my FB were obligatory "happy birthday" posts, I did get quite a few really sincere ones that made me smile.
3. I've seemed to find some peace in my life with TTA until I take my NP boards. I'm okay with it.
4. I made the perfect pot of coffee this morning and I'm going to drink the whole thing.
5. DS is being really funny today. He's getting to the age where he will play by himself for short stretches and he cracks me up at the things that he does. Right now he is playing fetch with himself.
6. The end of April is probably one of my favorite times of the year. I love the green grass and the leaves on the trees.
7. I graduate in two weeks! Whaat whaaaaaat
8. DH bought me two really nice wallets for my birthday. When I asked why he got me two, he said he couldnt decide which one he thought I would like more and I deserve to have choices. Ha.
9. I'm getting over my BFP jealousy rut and beginning to get genuinely happy for those who are announcing. Its freeing, really.
10. I love ya'll.

2. I'm happy that we're going to see my parents this weekend.
3. I've decided to rock my months-long rash and not feel self conscious and cover up like I did all last week. Can't make it go any faster.
4. I'm down just a few lbs in a few weeks, but I'm feeling like some of the life changes I'm making are catching on.
5. We're having a quick chicken curry dish tonight for dinner and it's one of my favorite fast meals.
6. Hubster just texted me about getting baseball tickets next week. Pumped!
7. I'm totally beating hubster in fantasy baseball - he invited me to even out his league and I'm situated firmly in the middle of the standings. Given I had no idea what to do at the start, I'm totally okay with this.
8. I'm wearing Sorel ankle boots that I absolutely love today. So comfortable, and they always garner compliments.
9. I was set to buy some unnecessary things on amazon last night and told myself to wait til morning. Definitely a good call - not throwing money away!
10. It's CD 3 and I'm not in a pit of despair. I feel pretty great!

2. Yesterday, after finally getting the dentist office to do their job I was in a super good mood. I decided to stop at Walgreens Redbox and get myself a movie. There are always people outside this Walgreens asking for money and stuff. They are always really nice and respectful though, so I don't mind. Yesterday a man with a very pregnant woman asked for bus money. I had it on me so I gave it to him. I also talked to the lady about her pregnancy and stuff. I am a doula so I am a little obsessed with pregnant people. I went to make car with my movie and started to drive away but then realized I really wanted to help her out. I went back and asked if she needed baby stuff. I took her in Walgreens and bought her a bunch of stuff for her baby. It was super fun. She was really shy, but such a sweet lady. She is due in a month and had no diapers at home for her baby. Poor lady.
3. We are going to my in-laws for a little visit tomorrow. DH needs to go there to work on part of his thesis (long story), but I am excited to talk to my SIL about moving in with her over the summer.
4. And on that note, we might be moving in with my SIL for the summer. We were planning on living with DH's parents. But, she offered last week. I guess we just assumed his parents because they own a home. She lives in an apartment, but it is a really big apartment for just her and 5 month old nephew. And the more I think about it the more I love the idea. There are downsides to living with her and we will have to talk about that, namely how incredibly messy she can be. But there are also a lot of things that would suck about living with DH's parents. I am pretty excited about living with my little baby nephew all summer too.
5. I have a car load of boxes packed up to bring tomorrow as well. Holla for packing!
6. I sign the lease on our storage unit this week too, so we can move in and see what we have to work with.
7. DH only has 3 weeks and one day of school left.
8. DH is getting really excited for me to be pregnant. I keep telling him over and over how it takes the average couple like 4 or 5 months to get pregnant. Is that even right? I can't remember. Anyway, it only took us one accidental try with DD to get pregnant so he assumes that will happen again. Whatever, I am the downer of the group so having him be so optimistic right now is really actually helpful for me.
9. We went out to eat with DH's best friend on Sunday. He admitted that he would probably be marrying his girlfriend of 6 years pretty soon. That made me so excited. We are moving back close to where they live and I really like both of them. So, of course I am all excited about dinner parties, wedding planning and of course babies who might be close in age. He has been DH's friend since kindergarten and the whole thing is cute.
10. I can't remember if I mentioned it on here before. But, I have my first official doula client. She is due in August. I am so excited to actually do the thing I am so passionate about. I really, really need more clients though and that makes me nervous.
Edit: WHOA, sorry for the novel. I guess I just really needed an outlet right now.

10. But first, coffee
2) Remembered to start OPKs yesterday, even if a bit late.
3) Have ramdom time off this week, so we might actually get good timing. (No sex during work week... And my projected O was my last day of work this week, which I have off. Woo)
4) Going to try to be healthier. And H said today he'd like to start eating better. Makes it much easier and a bigger motivation for me.
5) H helped a friend out last summer with a building project. His friend payed him yesterday. It covers our Ireland vacation which is due this month. Plus a bit extra.
6) We could have covered the trip anyway, yay budget, but just been tight. Now we have a very nice cushion. I'm thinking extra mortgage payment.
7) I got to sleep in today due to not getting called in!
8) I'm going to make my monsters (canine monsters in this scenario) happy and we'll all go for a run today.
9) I'm going to be productive today.
