Personal Day
This means a day to myself to spend how I choose.
This does not mean text me and call me from various numbers until I answer - and then talk to me about a work issue I was not present for nor can I predict what will occur with said issue tomorrow.
In other words - leave me the f^*k alone!!!!!

Things I am learning because of my new job.... →
I knew there had to be a theory out there that explained what I am dealing with at work. This is almost laughable though. Almost.

Go to Hell
I am taking what my father-in-law refers to as a “Go to Hell Day” tomorrow. I needed to make a doctor appointment and tomorrow morning was the only opening. Instead of going to work after the 30 minute appointment…I am spending the day with my daughter. We’re going to shop, play and make dinner for Daddy together. I am so excited.

I'm really toying with training for the Tough...
But I’m also pretty sure it would kill me as I have ZERO upper body strength.
Also - the other day Matt dragged his feet on the carpet and then kissed me, causing a shock on our lips. I almost cried.
Wimp for life. But one with big dreams.

The One and Only
I’ve never really belonged to any one group. In high school I hung out with theater people, but I wasn’t ever in plays or musicals. I hung out with druggies, but I never did any drugs. I wasn’t really into school, but I dated the school body president - who a year later was fighting deportation because he was an illegal immigrant, but that’s another story. I didn’t...
Overheard on the train
“I don’t know if it was creepy or romantic”
Honey, if you have to ask…it’s the former.

I am so giddy excited to see Audrey!!
I could not handle more than a night or two away from her every six months or so. I have the rest of my life with
Matt (and oh what life it will be!!!) but Audrey is only little for a tiny amount of time!

There's only one shitty thing about this...
While my wonderful in-laws are watching Audrey, so Matt and I can be in Chicago, they will be staying in our house. In our room.
I so can’t hide shit where I normally do so as to achieve a state of “clean” for their visit.
Shit!

I’m slowly starting a list of things I want to do with Audrey once this school year is over - it’s my happy place.
Go to the museum on free days with a picnic lunch packed
Go to the park/lakefront
Go to the zoo on free days
Go to the library for reading groups

That's cute
The girls at work were talking about what meds they are on for anxiety and/or depression today. They were tossing around names and reactions and helpfulness. I felt a little out of the loop and pressured to keep up. I racked my brain and when I thought of something I quickly piped up….
I was on zoloft for my postpartum!
The conversation came to a pause and proudly I waited for looks of...
Things aren’t already better - by any means. In fact, they’re worse right now. But my outlook is completely different. A weight has been lifted.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m scared - I’m stressing about different things. But everything seems different…it’s hard to explain. I am sure I will waiver a thousand times between now and June. I’ll go from...

Turns out - Life changes don't mean less stress
How exciting though to experience stress that isn’t totally soul crushing.

Gonna go ahead and try to watch this episode of Bones for a second time. Hoping to stay awake for more than the first ten minutes tonight.
Busy day today even though I didn’t leave the house. Had to clean house this morning because of company this for lunch. Which also meant postponing my “No Bras Allowed Day” bumming me out a little bit.
We have fun with our friends and five...

I just went through my husband's tumblr archive.
I’m pretty sure there are more pictures of him snuggling our dog than any of me.
I mean, did you guys even know I existed??

I ate lunch at 4:22 this afternoon.
Cold macaroni just doesn’t taste that bad when you’re that hungry.

Old Muppets
Student A: I want to play the drums
Me: Like Animal in The Muppets?
Student A: Who are The Muppets?
Student B: Oh, I know who they are! We watched A Muppet Christmas as home.
Me: Isn’t it cool?
Student B: Yeah! We watched it on one of those square DVD’s
