Hi 😊
I'll give a little update on life from the past few weeks since I've been kinda MIA
A is getting in her last molar so she has a bit of a runny nose and cough. But at least I know it's from the molar. With the exception of some typical toddler moments, she's really becoming my buddy. We laugh and joke all day, I'm figuring out her quirks and cues and I can usually divert a tantrum if I see one starting. She tells people I'm her best friend which I think is adorable.
I'm on week 3 of my Zoloft. I don't know if I feel any different or better...? It's hard to tell. I know it takes time. I am trying to be more calm so I feel that is more of a mental change than a hormonal one. I'm maintaining my weight which I'm happy about. I would like to eventually lose a little more but I'm content for the first time in my life.
H's anxiety has seemed to eased up a bit. He has a list of therapists that our insurance covers but he hasn't made any appointments yet. We are communicating more so that will ultimately help with both of our stresses.
PDQ .. this is from our Princess Breakfast on Sunday 👸 *poof*

Poppy has been really into temporary tattoos recently. Last night, H helped her put on the better part of a big pack of them that she got for Christmas. It looks like she’s working on a sleeve. 😂

CestLaVie , what are they saying? anyway to work it into a snarky comeback when they speak to you later? He's talking about my project spreadsheet to someone like "this doesn't make sense. This is the worst way to view this project and present it." Like no shit sherlock. I am building a road. You are building homes and remediating other homes. A financial progress of a road is a lot different. Doesn't mean I'm an idiot. It means you need to make your own damn spreadsheet. And I have been pondering come backs.... lol

CestLaVie, next meeting.. you, so this is my schedule/project spreadsheet....but i feel like it doesn't work well for other scopes of work, maybe those pm's should adjust to fit their needs.

Exactly. I am trying not to take it personally because it's a damn spreadsheet. But it's annoying. He is literally STILL talking about it.

CestLaVie, omg! take him a blank spreadsheet right now and say, you apparently have feelings about this - why don't you create a new one?

Had to leave story time early today because A was being such an awful listener and friend. She screamed the entire way out of the library. I think it's interesting how I'm not even embarrassed by such tantrums anymore. A year ago, I would have been mortified. Now, I just keep on keeping on. Boy she heard it from me on the way home. I'm proud of myself for not yelling. I just spoke sternly and directly.. when I looked in the back seat, she had the biggest pouty lip.. I had to try not to laugh

CestLaVie, I'm totally annoyed at that dude now for you. He needs to make his own damn spreadsheet.

I just claimed my NYC Marathon entry and registered for the Brooklyn Half! I had guaranteed entry for the marathon so I wasn't worried about that, but the Brooklyn half always sells out. Registration opened at noon, and I was refreshing my browser since a couple minutes before, but once I started my entry, the site was SO SLOW. I was nervous I wasn't going to get a spot. Thankfully it eventually went through, so I know that once again, I can run 13.1 miles to the Coney Island boardwalk for what will inevitably be the tastiest beer and french fries I have all year!

coconutbacon I had a dream last week that I ran a marathon in 3:30 and in the dream it didn’t even phase me. I’ve itching to run ever since. I have not really ran since my knee issue over a year ago. It’s probably been a good 2-3,’ years since I’ve really consistently ran. Anyway, because I’d basically be starting from scratch I decided to start the couch to 10K. It will be good because it will ease me back into it and I’d be less likely to re-injure myself. I am hoping to run a half this summer or fall. And I’d like to run a marathon next year in 2019. I started c210k on Monday and it was 2 min running 1 min walk x8. Today I did the same but 6 times. It hasn’t been hard to run 2 min. I was kinda surprised. Looking forward to it. The cool thing is my gym just got all new equipment and the treadmill actually matched my Garmin. The distance ran was identical after 35 min

easternshoregirl, I feel you on the ready to not be pregnant anymore! My mom had her follow-up oncology appointment today, so it was a lot of running around (labs, prescriptions, tests, etc). The baby felt like she was doing jujitsu in my belly, and then I realized I was also having fairly frequent (but painless) contractions too. So I think today is gonna be my last day at work. I had planned to work the full week, but I'm done. There's no reason for me stay except to save my sick days; and I just don't care about saving them right now. So I'm gonna ask to leave early tonight and just be put on sick leave for the remainder. My brother is visiting this weekend. It's his birthday tomorrow. I'm glad he's visiting, but I'm a little annoyed because I had begged him to come down this week to help me out with our mom. Instead, he's gonna show up just enough to say hello and that's it. But it's still good to see him (and his wife, and my nephew), no matter how brief.

Hi all! Things have been good here. I still feel like I have a newborn despite L being 8 months now! She just is not a sleeper so I’m still as sleep deprived as I was 8 months ago. This girl wakes up 4-5 times a night still! Other than that, things are good. coconutbacon I feel you on the tattoos - M is currently obsessed with this one and won’t wear a shirt because it’ll be covered up (lesson learned for future tattoo placements!) PDQ

First interview went well! Two more to go.
I started having some contractions this afternoon, so I'm taking it easy and drinking all the water.
