Poppy is obsessed with pretending to be a lion. Every interaction with her involves a RAWHR!

Had a real crap night of sleep last night. It probably didn't help that I worked like 13 hours yesterday and had to wait to try my painkiller until I was home to see if it would make me too sleepy to drive.
I am so glad a long weekend is coming up! I am going to not work a single hour of OT and really try to relax and have a fun weekend.

I'm sorry you're feeling so lousy CestLaVie. I've heard that shingles are miserable. Can you take some time off to rest and recover?

Possible trigger warning... sad fertility news
Have you guys seen that story about the fertility clinic in Cleveland that had a cryopreservation tank malfunction and lost 4,000 eggs and embryos? It's just devastating for those individuals affected and I can't stop thinking about it. It's been bothering me a lot. Having gone through IVF I can't imagine losing everything to a malfunction like that. So many hopes and dreams gone, and it sounds like it was preventable.

Peekaru, these have dried mushrooms listed in the ingredients, but you can easily leave them out. I have and they still taste good. You can also use fresh mushrooms instead. They are primarily blackbean based.

Peekaru, it's definitely burning up in here. Doesn't help that my commute is like 45 mins then my drive to my project is 1.5 and then back. so that is irritating. aydee it is year end madness over here trying to balance accounts on all projects so it's the worst possible time to take time off. Then again this is also probably why I have it in the first place lol.

CestLaVie, my mom has shingles right now. She's miserable. Her pain meds for the cancer doesn't even touch it. (Plus, the baby hasn't had her vaccination for chicken pox yet, so yikes). Anyway, you have my sympathy. Shingles sucks, period. I really need to get working on potty training kiddo. I...just don't want to. Ha. I ordered some pull-ups that will be here on Friday. Maybe we'll start next week (can't do it this weekend as we have family visiting). He just really doesn't want to use the potty. He's been "helping" with changing the baby's diapers, so he can see that "diapers are for babies", but I don't think he's catching on. Baby had her 1 month check-up, and her weight gain has been right on target, which is a huge relief. I had such a hard time breastfeeding with kiddo, that I stopped after 6 weeks. He wasn't gaining weight, had horrible reflux, and it made me so anxious. Formula feeding is perfectly fine with me, but I'd rather not spend the $$$$ on buying formula this time around if I don't have to. I breastfed in public for the first time yesterday (at IHOP, in a booth, which was not comfortable). I definitely need to practice that. Also, pumping for when I go back to work. I'll worry about that later though. Here's a pic from the neighborhood easter egg hunt:

It's so heartbreaking aydee. It would be so devastating to lose embryos. Especially when you think that there are people who wouldn't be able to create new ones. It's so hard to cycle to get them in the first place. I'm hoping for peace for everyone effected.

I'm at work already. Should be getting out early since we're off tomorrow for Good Friday. H and I are going to bring the kids to school tomorrow and do an early food shop. I'm making leg of lamb and baked ziti on Easter, so I need to do a good shop and H needs to get out of the house, since he's been stuck home all week.

Betweenthelines that’s a meal I’ve never tried and wanted to. My mom is making a turkey though so I’ll just head over for that. I did not sleep last night. TGIT though!!
