LOL super happy mommy day to me

All things work out with the power of prayer

Today is going to be a great day I know it will and I am determined to make it a great day

First our sitter is going to take both boys this morning because she secretly set up an appointment for them to have pictures taken at the preschool together - YEAH - it is my mothers day present - she even bought them clothes to wear for it :)

because she has the boys I can go to the hospital and visit my BFF and her new little baby, YEAH! he is tiny tiny but doing well - I am taking a bag full of preemie clothes to her today because he will be needing them for awhile.

I have a second interview today for my dream job in a new city that would be great for my family. The kids would get to spend so much more time with Mike - although I think less time with me but we wouldn't be getting up at the super early hour anymore

Then I am going to dinner and a musical! I was actually supposed to go with my BFF but she decided to have her baby early so I am going to go with the boys sitter - she is more than just a sitter to us bt for purposes of writing it is just easier. She really is a friend.

How does a nursing momma do all of this - well it gets a little complicated in the details but don't worry baby is only going to miss 3 nursing sessions and not in a row - I have plenty of milk stockpiled and my pump is ready to travel

I am so excited!!

My best friends is in labor - it is her first and she has been on bed rest for the past several weeks -
I am so excited for her - our little boys are only three months apart and I can't wait to meet her little boy
I am currently obsessed with facebook waiting for an update, I tried calling her yesterday to see if she wanted to do lunch but never heard back - so I don't know when or how she went into labor or if they are inducing her due to her blood pressure.

I am praying that everything goes well and she can have a quick labor. I left her hubby a message to let me know if he needs food. There isn't much around there to eat and it is a long process to leave a laboring wife from there.

I am really hoping to go see the little guy soon . But here is the problem - I can't bring Logan because of hospital rules. Mike has class tonight so i can't go tonight. Tomorrow I have an interview in the afternoon and it is an hour away. So I won't get home with enough time to go visit her an hour in the opposite direction. I could go in the morning but the sitter probably can't take Logan because it is a preschool day and she doesn't have the car seat installed yet - i will have to check since he will start going there Monday anyway.

sears portraits makes me mad

So Mike can't get over the fact that we have a membership to Sears - Okay it is the sears portrait club thing where you get one free 8x10 each visit as well as BOGO on weekdays - I always go on weekdays. Today was the first time i took both boys

1. they were not ready for me at my appointment time
2. i had a cranky 2 yr old for some unknown reason
after I selected all the posed - not great ones at that due to the cranky 2 yr old
they sent it over to the register - I needed to renew my membership so I gave her the coupon for that - then she tells me I can't get my BOGO or free 8x10 because i was renewing that day - COLOR me not happy

i was not planning on spending that much - she tells me it is too late to cancel because the order is already sent - COLOR me extremely not happy

i almost walked away and I really think I should have

so I payed way too much for pics that aren't that great

I think I will try JC penny next time

what is a date?

We went on a date last night! I had forgotten what a real date was like - no kids just good food and two adults.

Of course it wasn't a planned date. We were supposed to have a softball game. It isn't quite warm enough yet to bring Logan so we had hired a sitter. The game was called because of weather but we already had a sitter lined up - and we all know how much i suck at remembering to hire sitters so I wasn't about to miss out on an opportunity to go out.

It was nice and we will do it again - very soon.
