I'm sorry things are rough fierymama. Is there something nice you can do for yourself? Is there a way for you to get some alone time?

I'm sorry things are rough fierymama . Is there something nice you can do for yourself? Is there a way for you to get some alone time? I am hoping that having the neighbor and her son over for dinner tomorrow will help. Otherwise, I'll be at my mom's Friday evening (with my kids) and that usually helps. Our weather today is keeping me home (snow and freezing rain, fun times). If not - I'm going to the gym on Saturday and will hopefully work it out there. If I manage to get done with work early enough on Friday, maybe I'll go to the gym by the daycare and try to do something there too. I honestly think it has a lot to do with the weather. :-(

Yeah, this snowy rainy gray weather is awful fierymama. It definitely leaves me with cabin fever and it’s harder to get in a positive mindset. Hang in there!

Congratulations easternshoregirl - love her name! girlonabike, we’ve all got the flu here too, you have my sympathies. I can’t even imagine how bad it is for you! RunsforWineandCarbs, I’m unimaginably jealous of your beach vacation! Have fun! I posted last week with the intention of being more active here and then the flu hit so nope. But Hello!

Trigger warning - death of adult
Ugh, my stepdad works for a trucking company and as I was scrolling through FB, I noticed a news article that an employee was walking through the lot and was hit and killed by one of their trucks Tuesday evening. I noticed the time and realized that it was around when he usually gets back to the terminal so I called my mom to make sure he was okay (knowing if he was involved I would have heard yesterday). He was one of the first on the scene after it happened. He was on the phone with my mom and said he had to go and call her back. He isn't handling it well at all. He knew both parties involved and got along well with the guy that got hit. 😔

armpants - I think they may have had some on site yesterday, but I don't know yet. When I talked to my mom yesterday, he had only been home for a little bit and was telling her what happened at work. She said she would call me back, so I will probably hear from her today.

Fuck. I fell carrying K out to the car. Thankfully, I held onto her and took the fall on the left side of my body so she didn't hit anything. Now waiting for my body to show me just how bad I hit. Fucking ice.

fierymama, omg, is she ok? are you ok? I hope it's not as bad as you think. She is fine. I fell on my left side and was carrying her on the right. She was still playing with her babydoll and only said "uh-oh" because her muffin fell out of the bowl. I have a small bit of roadrash on my leg. My shoulder is tightening up so I try to remember to move it frequently. I used my upper arm to break my fall so my shoulder took a good bit of force. I will be okay, just sore.

I know the restaurant we're going to Saturday night and I'm so excited. The food looks bomb, and I already have the drinks planned that I need to try:
Dirty Gibby - grey goose, vermouth, olive juice, cocktail onion juice, blue cheese stuffed olives and cocktail onions
and a Smoked chai honey old fashioned- bulleit bourbon, honey vodka, fresh brewed chai tea, and a whiskey smoked sugar rim.

I still don't know where we are going, but I am supposed to bring my passport! My guesses are: Turks and Caicos, Aruba, St Lucia, Aruba or maaaaaaybe Montego Bay.
I'm so excited!
