There is a girl dropping out of my nursing program because she refuses to get a flu shot... That's one way to weed them out |

I think A is getting to the point where her feeling are getting hurt and I hate it. She is really into saying hi to everyone when we are out and about and I just noticed today that she seems sad when people don't say hi back. She's a sensitive soul.

I lost some of my mp today (sorry), and have strong contractions any time I am on my feet. My big butt is staying glued to the furniture today. I'm trying not to stress. Are you drinking tons of water? Like at least 80 oz? |

Things have been busy here. Since DH's work schedule as changed, he's been doing more pick ups. Coupled with forcing myself to not work over, I've found myself with some extra time. I plan on working on structuring some more me time like going to the gym in addition to doing more activism stuff and helping with DHs band. We are thinking I'm going to launch my own booking company (of 1 employee and 1 band). We're thinking the band will look more legit. Plus I'll use my maiden name.
But for now, I've been doing nothing.
This weekend I was following the events in Charlottesville. So upsetting. A similar group is planning a rally in my city in September. It was just a rumor in one of my activist groups but it has been confirmed by the press. The permit is still pending.

Kiddo has been on a vegetable strike (pretty much refusing to eat anything that isn't peanut butter & jelly or cookies), but tonight I tried the Bird's Eye Zucchini Lentil Pasta (this one had the cheddar sauce), and he cleaned the plate. Just thought I'd throw that out there if you're looking for vegetable options. I tried it myself, and its pretty tasty.

On my way home. My belly is full of beer, nachos, wings, a pretzel, and some fresh mozzarella and tomatoes. I'll probably catch the tail end of bedtime.
H rubbed his truck up on a dealership Volvo at the gas station. So he's not in a great mood today. I offered to cancel my plans because I know he is super stressed, but he told me not to. I'll probably hook him up with a back rub.

Hi! Got the results back from the second NIPT, and this time they were able to get results--low risk for everything! I am so relieved and can finally breathe and enjoy this pregnancy. Also, it's a girl! Awesome news!!🍻 |

The events of the weekend had left me feeling sad. H and I talked last night about it. For some reason I asked him if he thought he had any coworkers or people he knew that might be a white supremacist. His answer was yes. The sad thing is, I was pretty sure i knew who he was talking about. He had, about a year ago or so, invited his coworker and wife over to play games (and has not since). I don't remember him making racist comments but certainly said things that made me uncomfortable. I was to chicken to say anything then (I would now). Anyway, I asked him if this person had been in our house. And he says yes. H wouldn't repeat the things he's heard at work and I tried to encourage him to call this guy out the next time it happens. I guess it's made a few people uncomfortable. Whatever was said. Anyway, that's why H has never invited this guy and his wife back.

I really want to talk to s1 about what is going on (age appropriate) But I'm not sure how. The last thing I need is him hearing about this elsewhere considering he will be spending a lot more time away from me very soon.

jedi isn't your H Latin American? That's awful that he has to work with a white supremacist! His mom is from Central America. But H "looks" white. But technically he's half Hispanic. We talked about that too. I asked him if at this moment he's more grateful to look like his dad. |

One of them looks just like our dad (white skin blonde hair blue eyes) and the other just like their mom. Well it's a good thing that he has distanced himself from the guy. So much ugly out there |

Getting caught up now (first day back to work after two weeks off was busy catching up). I'm giggling over here about the Canadian parenting talk CestLaVie, 45thparallel. I never really watched HIMYM (just here and there) so not sure how accurate your info is amichelle723! Lol! 4-way stops can be challenging for Canadians! Lmao! We just replaced them all with roundabouts....so it's pretty much still a 4 way stop for some people! Lol |

easternshoregirl I hope all went okay at your dr appointments. What's the treatment for poison ivy eye? I never knew it was such a thing! Also when do you leave for your trip? I hope it's all cleared up by then!

I spent the last hour making zucchini chips (remember the ridiculous zucchinis we have coming from the garden?? Lol). One would think over an hour to make would yield a ton of chips....spoiler alert...it does not. It will probably take me 5 minutes to eat them! Lol! But they are delicious!
Since last week I've made all things zucchini. Zucchini muffins, buffalo chicken zucchini boats (twice, because they are delicious! Lol), sweet potato zucchini tuna patties (also very yummy) and now zucchini chips. Still more zucchini to eat up! Lol
