Thanks! How about you? Are things getting better with the GD? I think I rec'd it before but there is a decent thread over on the Jan/Feb '18 board you could check out, maybe some good resources or ideas!

Left for the gym 2 hours ago. H hasn't moved since I left. Breakfast not cleaned up, toddler not feeling lunch, and no planning dinners for the week. I get home and have cleaned everything up, fed toddler, working on grocery list and he still hasn't budged. 😒

Our new neighbors came over last night. I drank too much wine and feel like shit today. Man I hate feeling hung over. And stupid DH has invited his family over this afternoon. I absolutely have zero interest in entertaining them. And I need to plan food for tomorrow's superbowl party. But I want to nap...which is exactly what M is refusing to do. Blah. At least DH finished putting together the new office furniture and is going to get the dish washer finished.

I’m in my Uber to go to DH’s gig. I have to say- I’m looking hot.

Hi. Beware the novel ahead but I had a great day. I did my first psych rotation today. It was AMAZING. I have truly loved all of my nursing experiences so far - I’ve trained in neuro, rehab, and telemetry units. I’ve also been in to observe nurses in the OR. I’ve always enjoyed my time, whether the days were good or bad. I’m always learning and I always feel valuable in helping others.
But today, I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I worked in the adolescent unit, ages 12-17. The experiences and circumstances that these children have dealt with are devastating. But for the first time, I felt like I knew what to do and what to say. I wasn’t anxious about if I was doing the right thing in exactly the right way. It may sound really cheesy, but it feels like “my calling.” I didn’t even want to leave after the 13hr shift. I definitely have some work to do on separating work from everything else- I can’t stop thinking about the kids and all that I wish I could do to help. Aside from all of that, I’m just so incredibly excited that I have found somewhere that I’m comfortable and have the potential to truly help people who need it.

Went to our church fair with the intention of staying for about an hour. 4 hours later with 2 worn out kids, pockets full of prizes, faces painted and bellies full of hot dogs popcorn and tacos we called it a night.
H and I then watched geostorms. It was alright. But Andy Garcia was in it, where the heck has he been since when a man loves a woman???

Other than that finishing up cleaning and grocery shopping. My bil arrives tomorrow for a week.

I like the Superbowl because that means football is over for a while!
Yesterday was busy, but fun. Gymnastics, then pedicure with my SIL and niece, and then dinner at the in laws. M was so good over there. He's really coming out of his shy phase and was his sweet giggly self that he is at home. Everyone loved it.
Today is a much calmer day thankfully. Grocery shopping and cleaning are the only plans.

I want super bowl food but I have no desire to watch football (and lucky me, neither does H.) Maybe we will have tacos and watch Netflix :-)

I’m en route to a 4 mile race this morning. I told P when I get back we’ll go out for ice cream. Vegan for me and whatever kind she wants. I can’t wait.

amberlie that’s so great! After knowing you these last few years I’m not surprised that you feel this is your calling. RunsforWineandCarbs we watched the same movie last night!

Kids are getting a mid-day bath so we don't have to interrupt the Superbowl except for bedtime. We are having wings and stromboli tonight and the kids are having pizza. Fly Eagles Fly!

Husband woke up late for work, and he just texted me to let me know that he is volunteering to stay later at work so he won't have to use his leave for his lateness.
No, husband, no. Your wife is 39 weeks pregnant and home alone trying to take care of an energetic toddler and very sick mother. No. You get your ass home.

Ugh, girlonabike , the worst. Have you seen any of the "Emma" comics? (I think it's French?) There is one about moms at home waiting on their husbands to arrive... ETA: not quite the same situation right now but a good one to check out anyway
