Morning! It's supposed to be close to 50 degrees today and I'm soooooo excited! Not that I'll get to be outside much, but it means we're closer to spring.
I played volleyball last night- a double header. Somehow managed to pull my glutes and could hardly walk into the house. haha. So I iced my ass and used a heating pad in bed and thankfully I'm back to normal this morning.
We're planning on making steak and crab legs at home tonight. Mmmmm get. in. my. belly.
Happy Valentines Day!

Good morning! Charlotte gave me three 2.5 hour stretches of sleep last night and I feel like a new woman. You know you have a newborn when 2.5 hours of sleep feels like heaven! I even got up and showered and got ready and put on makeup!
I left dhs vday present at the top of the stairs so he’d get it when he took the boys to school today. Nothing special, a nice bottle of gin and stuff to make G&T’s, some snack food (popcorn and chips) a gift card to Cheesecake Factory (that’s mostly for me!) and a scratcher. I see flowers and a present on the counter for me but I’m waiting for dh to get home to open it. We’re going to a local diner for breakfast, will probably go get beers and sit on the patio somewhere for lunch and dh is making lobster, scallops and risotto for dinner.

Stay healthy!! guster I can’t wait to see potential house pictures! I am insanely jealous, my dream house is a colonial. I know I’ve said it before but I hate the southwest style of houses out here.

hi! B is at school and was so excited for the card exchange, it's cute as they get older and get more 'into' things.
C got up late so I haven't given the kids their Valentine's treats yet, we were in a rush to get everyone fed and out the door. She is currently protesting a nap from her crib, alternately singing and yelling.
I need to get some laundry done and tidy up the kitchen, exciting stuff!

Including today, I have 9 working days left. My boss is still in deep denial and won't talk about it.

guster I can’t wait to see potential house pictures! I am insanely jealous, my dream house is a colonial. I know I’ve said it before but I hate the southwest style of houses out here. I feel like around here it's either a raised ranch or a colonial, and I don't like the set up in a raised ranch at all. ETA: I wasn't totally sure what the southwest style house is, so I did a quick google, and I don't mind the style, but are all of the roofs either flat or low pitched like that. Is there a reason for that?

Dh and I are going to see a movie and spend the day together. So I have 3 days this week, 3 next week, and 3 the week after. No big projects. Just transitioning everything to my boss. And getting both offices completely filed and cleaned up. He's going to be drowning in paperwork in 2 days.. No one is replacing me, they eliminated my position entirely so no training. But I have to hand off some stuff to a another assistant that she will be handling now.

That will give them the opportunity to have to figure things out without you there. I'm sure it will be tough for them.

Happy Valentine's Day all! Oh my gosh, the Onion has been killing it with their Valentine's articles. If you need a laugh check them out. My husband already gave me my Valentine's yesterday. Flowers, a card, and chocolate. It'll pair nicely with what I got him--nothing. I worked this weekend and have had a ton of homework to do and have had no time to even think about it let alone shop. I told him I felt bad but had nothing for him. He didn't care and was understanding. I'm trying to let it go. PSA: As of yesterday Coco is available for digital purchase! I tried to keep it a secret from my kids so they wouldn't bed to watch it over the Olympics. Olympics first kids! dapostrophe I love it! Great job Mr. Dapostrophe! yummeecookee how scary! Glad you are safe.

That will give them the opportunity to have to figure things out without you there. I'm sure it will be tough for them. I'm just glad I have it in writing when I leave. The merge has been postponed and I know he would ask for me to stay longer if I didn't have anything in writing or a job lined up. Nothing changes until April first now, it was supposed to be March 1st. And it's not a full merger with name changes and everything until June 1st. For April and May the bank will be "OldBankname, a division of NewBankName" because the department of justice stepped in and forced them to sell some locations because we had almost no competition in some cities. It's a cluster. They really screwed this buyout up.

L has been kinda funky the last week since she's been sick. I can't tell if she's teething, in pain, ect.. but something is kinda bugging her. Anyway, last night at 2 she got up and was super upset, I ended up sleeping with her on the couch. She woke up at one point and I was facing away from her and she sat up, played with my hair, patted my back and said "shhhhh" for a few minutes and then laid back down and went to sleep. It was so cute!

C would not go to bed last night and was in his room doing his "art" for an hour or so before bed. I got him up this morning and he had a bunch of folded construction paper with scribbles. He says "Mom, I made cards for you to bring to your work friends. I didn't have time to get them a treat though, sorry." So thoughtful and cute! Makes me less mad about the late bed time.

Morning.
I'm at work and it's sort of slow. I made zero plans for tonight, so just leftovers and the usual. I may stop to get MH his favorite candy on the way home. I should get him something, right?
Also have a question. M's strap to his top buckle on his PB backpack broke off. He came home from school one day last week and we noticed it. His backpack is on his hook all day long at school, so really not sure how it happened. I bought it in July. Should I try to call get it replaced by PB? Not sure if this thing has a warranty or anything.

We are going out to a hibachi place for dinner. M loves it.
I still need to get a gift for my H and I guess something for M?
I’ve never been that big on celebrating VDay, but I do remember my parents giving us things and feel like I need to do it too

Mmm, I love hibachi grills SweetPotato. Sounds fun! lahdeedah, I would email them see what they have to say. (And then tell us- both my kids have pbk backpacks too so I am invested).

guster I’m not sure about the roofs? But pretty much everything here is stucco and earth tones to hold up to the heat and the sun. I think it’s very cookie cutter looking, I would love an old house with lots of history and character. But I do love our house (the inside at least) and I think I’ll like the outside more once we paint it!

We rock forever until they pass out. I'm still too scared to attempt putting a baby/toddler down when they're awake.
