so tired. so bored. so unmotivated to do anything about either.......I really should be working on a rough draft of a paper but instead I am going to make myself crank it all out next weekend LMAO.....I am such a procrastinator.

I was thinking today that if this thread is at 400 posts and we're 1/4 of the way through the year, we all better get posting more to get it to 2012 posts! That's all LOL!

It's died down a lot! =/

DH's motorcycle is back in our garage, 100% working and 100000000% ready to be sold! Hah. We also found out today that there is a bigger house ava for us!! We don't know the dets, other then it's the lay out I wanted, as DH didn't listen to his vm until about 10 minutes after the office closed. So we're hoping they'll call one of us tomorrow so we can get in, get the address and most likely accept it! Then we'll move in probably 28-30 days!!!

You are right! I gotta get back in here and help add to the daily post count

AllyssaM · #**406** March 29th, 2012, 02:12 PM

I am excited!!!

I think I'm going to take missy to the pool here shortly. It's beautiful out!

Allyssa AWESOME on the house! So excited for you guys and cannot wait to see pics!

I had a nice dinner out with Andrea and Michelle at a Japanese hibachi place it was so good and it was great to see the ladies again! Michelle looks great and def made me even more anxious for this baby to arrive and for me to get my butt in shape haha! We then went to a HUGE Once Upon a Child that was right behind the place and that was overwhelming haha! Their prices were a bit high for used clothing in my opinion but overall some good deals were to be had there!

Nesting mode has hit so I bought I think 7 or 8 of those blanket storage bags from the dollar store and plan to go through baby clothes tonight and see if I have anything that could maybe be for a boy haha. I am going to organize by size which I have started already in rubbermaids but have since ran out of rubbermaids so will redo with this bags and then use the rubbermaids for other stuff!

I have a 5+page paper to do a rough draft of this weekend too booooo......overall school is going great though and I keep getting all A's and only once class I got a B+ in thus far

1 more year of book work then I have a year of internships to complete. Cannot wait to see where my degree will lead us! Hopefully into a home owning situation before I am 40....maybe!!!

Stephanie- so jealous you got to hang out with the girls- sounds like it was a lot of fun!

sunny · #**409** March 30th, 2012, 04:00 PM

It was! Wish we could have done it longer but I was tired and my tummy was not great after all that food LOL! Andrea and I hang out almost monthly now though

LadieBug · #**410** April 2nd, 2012, 09:50 PM

Your lucky to have them so close by. Sounds like a fun time

How was everyones weekend?

DH is off all this week - It's so nice to have him home. Emmersyn is super, super attached to her daddy right now so she's loving it. <3 We have my anatomy scan on Wednesday & we're going to try to do a fun family activity another day this week, but I just haven't figured out what yet!

sunny · #**412** April 3rd, 2012, 06:29 AM

Allyssa how nice your hubby has this week off! Hope you guys have some fun!

My weekend was BUSY but productive! Hit up a mom 2 mom sale on Saturday and it was just ok (kinda a crappy one) I did get Lainey a few cute size 4 dresses for down the road haha. I helped Gabby hang some cool butterflies from her ceiling in her play room and taught her how to latch hook so she has that to work on this week. Also got her a canvas paint by number type thing to work on this week.

I went through baby clothes and got overwhelmed as our stuff is def all girly. Just a few random tees and such for if this is a boy haha....good thing it will be summer when this baby comes so not need for lots of clothes right away!

Got the nursery area in our room set up more but still in need of more of those cloth bins I posted about on FB. Also wrote a rough draft of my paper that is due tomorrow. I ended up over 200 words over the max so we shall see what instructor says. Have 2 more weeks before the final draft is due so I am hoping not too much revision will be needed!

I am leaving work a little bit early on Thursday as Gabby has her checkup and then I am taking Friday off to bring her to lunch and a movie.

magoo79 · #**413** April 3rd, 2012, 08:41 AM

wow! can;t believe its april already! the past few weeks have flown by!

stephanie- i am constantly amazed at you! i can't believe you have a toddler, are pregnant and are in school! you go girl!

allyssa- yay for hubby being home! hope you enjoy the week!

AllyssaM · #**414** April 3rd, 2012, 08:23 PM

We've just been relaxing. Tomorrow is my anatomy scan so we got our friend to watch Em so we can enjoy that together. I want to take Em to the pool so he can see her swim like the little fishy she is. And I think we're going to take her to a little place that's like Sea World, but much smaller. Just hanging out and spending family time together. I was able to go to the grocery store today, in the middle of the day when I had the energy (rather then after Ems bed time) and take my time without a kiddo rushing me through it - So that was nice!!

LadieBug · #**415** April 4th, 2012, 06:22 AM

So nice to have your DH home for a week. Emmersyn must really be enjoying that. I often think about the sacrifices DH has made in order for me to get to be at home with Kylie. I see her 24/7, and he is barely home. When he is home, he is sleeping... ahhh what I wouldnt give for him to get a week off

Hopefully we can plan a vacation getawat this summer to the beach or something.
We're also thinking of driving to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania some weekend. Clarissa, are you out there still? I remember you went last year- any pointers? Was it worth it?

magoo79 · #**416** April 4th, 2012, 06:37 AM

Rachel- Sesame Place is AWESOME!!! I grew up outside of Philadelphia, so we went lots as kids and its great! I haven't been there as an adult, so I can't really speak to what its like with a toddler, but as a kid I loved it!!!!!

AllyssaM · #**417** April 4th, 2012, 02:00 PM

DH and I were just talking the other night and I was saying how we really needed this time as a family, without him going out to sea every month and deploying for 6+ months. Our marriage also really needed it. . . It's been so nice to have him home just about every night for the past year now. And it's nice that he can take time off, just because, basically whenever he wants. When he was on the boat - He really only took leave ONCE a year, and that was around the holidays, and we were always traveling at that time. It was so much harder for him to take him off work, just because, when he was on a boat. So it's nice. He'll most likely take extra leave again once the baby comes - On top of his 'daddy leave'. It's nice and going back go Sea Duty in 2 years is going to be SO HARD on all of us - Especially the girls. I try not to think about it, as I want to enjoy this time we have, but I know it's going to be such a hard adjustment for us all. . .

Ooh Rachel you should check out the Please Touch Museum in Philly too! I heard and read it is awesome especially for toddlers!

Allyssa the military can be such a pain! Here's hoping to no deployments for awhile for your hubby!!!
