Doesn't this look delish?  2 scoops of vanilla ice cream drizzled with butterscotch carmel topping and sprinkled with 2 samoas (girl scout cookies). Delish.  
This is the extent of my cooking today.  I keep thinking everyday that "today is the day" that I am going to be done with all this queasy belly business... then I go and throw up this morning and have felt like ish for most of the day.  I have been doing pretty good lately.  Friday night I was able to stay at a friends house until almost 7... which is pretty good being that I'm usually in bed by 7!  

I'm starting to get spring fever.  I cannot wait to open my windows and let the fresh (sometimes cow manure smelling) air come in.  Next weekend we are planning to move Ellie to her new room.  My parents are going to come out and help us move furniture and my mom and I will be getting the rubbermaid bins out and going through all of Ellie's clothes and packing up old/too small things.  I cannot wait to declutter and clean!  I have literally done nothing in the last 8 weeks since feeling like crap... besides a little bit of laundry.  This house needs a major deep cleaning.  I will for sure post before and after pics of her new room.  

We plan to turn her old room into a guest room for the time being and within a year from now we'll move baby up there. I figure, like with Ellie, baby will be in a bassinet next to my side of the bed (most convenient for breast feeding at night) for the first 6 months or so... unless he/she grows out of the bassinet.  

More whining about work... if you don't wanna hear it don't read on...

I fell on Friday morning in the driveway of Ellie's daycare.  There was this thin layer of ice covering the cement and I had no idea since it was almost 40 out! Which to us here in MN is like a breath of warm spring air!  It's 45?  No coat needed today!  Anyways... I had my left hand on the inside handle of the car, pushed the door open and stepped out with my left foot and slide right on forward on my ass and my legs went under my the open car door, all the while I was still holding onto the door!  I was soaking wet through to my underwear and also a bit muddy.  I decided I didn't want to drive all the way home so instead went to my parents to put my pants and underwear in the dryer.  Called bosslady and told her I'd be about 15-30 min late.  Then called my coworker to cover the front desk until I got there.  No big deal, right?  It was an accident and they happen.  

So I get to work and my coworker says to me that bosslady came in and asked why I wasn't there yet... coworker told bosslady I'd fallen and was at my parents house drying my clothes. (She would soon find this out when she listens to her voice mail)  What does bosslady say?  Not, oh, is she ok?  Did she hurt herself?  Oh no.  She asked my coworker if I fell at work.  Nothing more.  WTF, huh?  Real nice. Her concern was the company not having to pay out money for my dr bills if I had to go in.  I am ok.  A bit bruised up and some sore, sore muscles in my left arm and back... I also hit my left knee on the bottom of the car door which is probably the thing that hurts the worst... but I'm fine otherwise.

Then the entire day went by as I sat at the front desk and she walked by me numerous times and never once asked me if I was ok.  #(%^&^#&^(&#$*&$. Seriously.  This irritates me to no end.  Heartless.  Ugh.  Sickening.  I pray to God I never ever treat anyone the way she treats her staff.  Some days I pray for a layoff.  So, so bad of me to think like that.  Especially at a time like this when so many people are getting laid off.  But seriously.  It is terrible.  I know I should be thankful for my job and I try to remind myself of that daily... although it is not easy!

So what's up with all you?  I have slowly been getting a chance to read your blogs and catch up on what's going on in your life... but it seems that a few people I've loved reading in the past have taken a blogging sabbatical.  What's up?  No time?  Bored with blogging?  Well I miss you and your updates!  Chas I wanna hear about what's going on with the girls... Teach what's up with you?!  I know you have a baby on the go now... which completely changes things... but I miss you!  You always made me laugh!  Well, maybe you'll be making me laugh in real life if we do actually meet on the 22nd!!  Can't wait :)  Oh and my hubby... I think he's been on the longest dry run of blogging of anyone.  I miss his posts too... I'll have to talk to him about that!

I'm a little jealous of your Samoa ice cream! I resisted and didn't buy a single box this year.

I'm sorry to hear about your fall and the fact you have a jerk for a boss!
