Betweenthelines, Hopefully the water in your basement isn't too bad. We are really hoping that our sump pump will keep up as it warms up (had major flooding in our basement a couple weeks after we moved in because the grading and siding/eaves weren't finished). Shop vacs are the best though! Is YH back to work after his surgery?

Pizzaslut sorry about the crap sleep. I hope you had a little rest this morning and are able to deal with whatever is weighing on you at work.

RunsforWineandCarbs sorry for the lack of motivation and energy (but seriously you mention all that you do, so I think your lack of energy is probably relative to what I experience). How has your thyroid stuff been lately?

H was actually only home for a week after his surgery! Business as (almost) usual.

Can you all say a small prayer, I know it’s silly but I may have found someone to take over as president of my moms club when the new moms club year starts on July 1. It’s been a great source of stress. I targeted someone specifically for it because she’d be great and she’s interested but wants to chat with me in person a bit first.

I am so tired this week! It feels like it should be Friday with how exhausted I feel. Thankfully my boss just texted me that she's working from a different location today so I'll be able to take it easy.

I had Paragard put in yesterday. flippinchica , I think you have it, anyone else with experience? I am just wondering what the average bleeding is like at the beginning. I know it can vary a lot but just wanted to see anecdotally if it is usually the 2-3 months mentioned in their literature. I had about a week of bleeding after the insertion and nothing since. I didn't get my period back till DS1 was 15 months though. I didn't get mine after DS until 12 months...I'm hoping for the same this time! I had a fair amount of bleeding that first day so I was a bit worried but it has really tapered off.

Waiting on my 37 week appointment. I am feeling much better than yesterday, probably because I got better sleep last night. I had trouble falling asleep because my hips hurt and the dog woke me up once because he barked but after that I didn't wake up at all.

Last night I had a board meeting for moms club where the two people who said they’d be on the board next year if needed recanted and said no. Meanwhile, I get to try convience someone to be president with (so far) no board. I kinda decided that I should probably be on the board again (doing the easiest position) because i don’t think it’s right for this person to have take on this role (president) without having someone who has served before. I might also be able to convience her to do it, if I’m on it.

I am having a funky mood day already. Definitely.
It's only Wednesday. And DH is so lucky he's on a compressed schedule, so he gets off early tomorrow and has friday off. Boo to him! I am just going to work on my spreadsheets at work with some headphones lol. The good news is I have a business lunch on Friday at a steakhouse. So that should be delicious.

jedi, RunsforWineandCarbs, where do you guys get the videos for your work outs? I'm thinking about dropping my gym membership. Since I haven't gone in a hot minute.

skinandbones, beach body on demand. it's like $99/year for unlimited access to all their workouts. So insanity, t25, P90X, 21 day fix, etc... then you stream it on your computer. there's also beach bikini body and just google it.

The beachbody on demand can also be accessed on tv too. We have an apple TV and I can get the ap there. If you have a fire stick or something like that, i think you can get it there too. It's totally worth it.

Another MOMS Club vent. The person who plans our events each month left MOMS Club because she had to go back to work. She offered to continue doing it until the new person, which surprise has not been filled, takes over on July 1. But the reason she went back to work is because she's having issues at home and has decided to leave her husband. The last thing she needs is to plan events for a club she's not in when she's working and going through a divorce. I wanted to plan these events last night at our board meeting and we did come up with ideas but no one really offered to help me put it together. I spent part of my morning and afternoon doing this. Its not hard work, just tedious.
This might sound shallow but each year, the treasure reaches out to everyone in the club (except the president) and collects money for a gift to give the president. It's usually a massage or something like that. I am looking forward to it. However, my gut is telling me that the treasurer will forget and this won't get done and I will get nothing for how hard I worked this year.

jedi, don't wait for volunteers. I mean ask for them and when no one volunteers you nominate people. "since we have no volunteers and this is a group effort, Susy Q, Sally A and Veronica do you think you can step up to this challenge this time? You can, that's great! Thanks for being team players." Also you need to contact every single mom in that group and ask them to be on the committee... Sometimes you need to delegate. Yes this is a volunteer group. I get it. I was VP for a non profit and everyone worked full time jobs. You do not need to handle everything yourself. IF they forget to get you a parting gift that is really shitty of them. But you're a great person with a kind heart, you will be be bigger than them. And next year, you will make sure the president isn't forgotten. (and this pisses me off that you feel they are going to forget. pissed at them. not you.)

(and this pisses me off that you feel they are going to forget. pissed at them. not you.) Well, we took the roster and split it up. Each member on the board was to reach out to people. i called my people. other board members are talking to people as they run into them either at events or by chance. If they aren't running into them they either haven't done anything or they've emailed. Email really isn't the way to get people to do it. For the person that might take over as president. I kinda did what you said. I reached out to her and said, hey I think you would be really good at this and heres why. I'm meeting to discuss it with her tomorrow.

It was so stinking hard to get up today to go back to work. It took me two hours to get through my email, and I was only gone 2 days!
Im feeling guilty because M is getting more screen time than I would like when we hey home because I'm so wiped out. Just trying to remind myself that this will be no more than 8 weeks.
