Taco Tuesday Randoms!

[sarahh]

DD's school is having taco Tuesday which makes me want queso... But really I could eat Mexican everyday.

[sarahh]

I need some help/suggestions. So I was planning to wear my regular boots to work this fall. They are flat riding boot style. I wore them yesterday and my feet were killing me. So I need something else. I work in a pretty professional environment (not suits but dresses/skirts and either flats, heels or boots in the winter) but being pregnant I think I can push the footwear a little. I was thinking of getting a new pair of uggs in a darker color to maybe blend in a little. I really only need to wear these for probably 7-8 weeks before delivery since it's going to warm up after today here. So I want something that I will wear after. Anyone have any suggestions? Oh and my current boots are wide calf and wide foot (they were big before pregnancy but I liked them like that) so there isn't an option of going up in width.

I wish I could help but my feet are so weird that almost every shoe gives me blisters until they are about 2 years old.  In winter I wear flats with socks or tennis shoes, but I also don't work in a professional environment so I can get away with it.

I've been on the hunt for rain/snow boots for EVER and I can't find anything that fits both my feet and my calves.

We went out for Mexican last night (Chuy's if you have those near you).  I have leftovers for lunch today, woohoo!!!!  I love their chips and Creamy Jalapeno Dip, just enough kick that I don't burn my taste buds..

aprilz81, my mouth is watering. We don't have a Chuy's here but it's decided that I need queso at some point today.

Their chips are my FAVORITE, super thin and crunchy flour tortilla chips.  The kind that does not hold up well to "scooping" versus "dipping".  lol

They have been open for over a year here and last night was the first time we got a table as soon as we walked in.  We consider it a victory if we wait less than 30 minutes and they don't do reservations or call aheads.  We've learned not to bother on weekend nights unless we wait until 8:00 and then we still might have to wait.  I could eat there every week if it wasn't for the wait times.  If I'm out shopping nearby I will sometimes stop in and get chips and dip to go...

aprilz81, it looks like there is one about an hour from us. I am definitely going to have to try it out sometime soon!

Hi! My house is now clean and MH are I are now sitting down. Today is his last day of vacation. I am going to miss his help.
I think we are going to Panera for lunch. Then we are going to attempt to give G a nap. Lol it’s not going to happen but I can hope.

[ajetter]

I’m no help in the shoes department. Sorry!

I have my glucose tolerance draw in about 20 minutes. Currently trying not to vomit. Lol. Then DD2&3 and I are having lunch at a friends house. Good times good times.

sarahh I'm probably not the best to ask since I tend to try to be more formal at work. I bought a few pairs of Life Stride low heels which are really comfy in a half size larger since my feet already feel a little swollen. I would definitely explore comfy brands like Dr. Schol's or others that would feel better but look professional. Towards the end of the pregnancy I think breaking out the uggs would be totally acceptable. Especially if you live in a cold area.

[sarahh]

I ended up just buying 3 Ugg options that are lower so easier to slip on and off. The boots I have on today are snug but not awful so I hope I can just wear them to work and wear the Uggs at my desk. And I pray the swelling has gone down by the time I go back to work at the beginning of March so I can go back to my normal boots.

Hai everyone!!! I've been out of touch because I just officially relocated and started a new job. So far so good! H and DS are still in Houston so I am driving every weekend to visit them. We have a lot on our plate: selling our house, leasing a temp house, getting DS started with DC, eventually buying a new house. Ugh! I'm trying to take baby steps so I won't go totally crazy.

[tiffrobot]

Hi!
I had a pretty regular day planned but someone noticed one of my van tires was going flat when I dropped DS off at preschool this morning. So I guess my kids and I get to go on an adventure to the shop this afternoon and probably get a new tire boo. But DS will be super happy, lol. I worked at said shop before he was born so he thinks it's so cool to visit and loves seeing all the toys and parts there haha. And anything he loves DD does too so I'm sure at least they'll get some excitement out of it haha.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Hi ladies,

I just can't wait to be on leave and get thru the holidays. I have to start planning DDs bday party.... I just have no energy to deal with it right now!

Long day at school today. A house in a nearby neighborhood was robbed & the guy was “at large” in the area (near the church where my school meets) so we were on a semi-lockdown for a bit this morning.

It’s like 70 degrees right now but overcast & breezy so feels more like 60. Perfect fall weather!! The highs for the rest of the week are only 80 so maybe we are finally cooling down. Right now DD is napping and I’m watching DWTS while doing some grading & catching up on emails. Chewy threw up last night (I think part of a vaccine reaction) and had the worst day yesterday. Poor dog was in hives all day & couldn’t stop itching. Thankfully it was all gone today.

I’m also having some OMG can’t believe baby boy will be here in like 11ishhhh weeks! If he comes when DD did that’s 11w and omg that’s so soon.

[flippinchica]

I could also eat Mexican food every day. DH doesn't like it which sucks. He will tolerate going there on occasion but not as often as I would like.
I feel better today. Yesterday was not good after I was up from 1:30 to 4:30 with constipation. Ugh. After I shit and had a nap I feel human again. I should probably get the kid from daycare now but I'm enjoying the silence.

[marygracerich]

My kid decided that it was bedtime all on her own. She asked to use the potty then proceeded to walk herself upstairs to start her bedtime routine. She isn’t asleep yet but yay for the kid going to bed.

I could bathe in that dip. It is heaven.

Maybe too late but I buy my Uggs a little on the big size and then put in good insoles in them so I have arch support. It makes a world of difference.

[sunfrogger]

I'm up. I did some school work and now I'm doing laundry going thru clothes my gf sent home with me. So. Many. Clothes.

[jessijean]

We had tacos tonight. Add me to the list of people who could eat Mexican daily. DH and DS were both in moods tonight so it was fun around here....

I realized just how soon baby could be here and am starting to panic

I actually went up a size from my normal size so thanks for the tip!

[sarahh]

jessijean, me too. I have so much to do and not really that many weekends left. I made a list of everything I want to get done around the house before she's here and it's overwhelming.
