Carpe... something.... Mondays suck

I think we can all agree that motivation on a Monday is a rare thing to come across and the little bit that you can muster for the day must be spread between work and home. For quite some time now, I've been blissfully ignorant with home life and not getting much accomplished after arriving home from my ridiculous days. Today, I clocked out after 8.5 hours and headed home to get some shit done.

And I did!

I really did.

I learn new things about myself all the time, but I already know that the moment my ass makes a connection with the couch -- that's it. I'm literally done for the day and doing nothing more with myself. Chances are also high that I'm in my sweatpants when this occurs.

Behold. Today I came home and did laundry (lots of it) and got dinner together, made coffee for the morning and *gasp* may even clean the bathrooms. I fully realize how sad it is that I"m excited about accomplishing so little, but yesterday pretty much didn't happen for me. I sat/laid around all day with a stomach ache and overall laziness. In short, I had to catch myself up for being such a pile of shit yesterday.

This weekend will be equally busy so I really need to keep it together and accomplish things during the week. Saturday morning/afternoon we'll be busy packing and moving two of my classrooms at work and what not. I say what not because nothing ever goes to plan with this crap and who knows what we'll actually have to deal with upon arrival. That evening we're headed to South Milwaukee (what. what.) to celebrate my aunt & uncle's 30th wedding anniversary. Seriously? 30 years? They must have a poop bathroom. Congratulations to them -- I can't wait to celebrate their love and marriage this weekend with all of our family.

There's a slight chance we'll be back at work on Sunday with the packing and moving and such as the rooms need to be ready by Monday so I can open the center as a fabulous infant toddler two center! Woo! Anyone bored this weekend should call me. Donate your time and talents. Be a team player. I may be willing to thank people with adult beverages if it keeps me from having to be at work 7 days this week. Mull that over all of you do-gooders and let me know.

Does anyone else wish it was football season?
I can't wait to watch the Packers this season. I'm ready.
Found this little nugget on Pinterest the other day & thought I'd share the love:

One Year Anniversary: Kicking off our IVF cycle

Today marks the one-year celebration of the first time I had to give myself an injection for our IVF treatment. It was a day of SO much emotion, so much suspense, and of course, so much hope. I remember giving myself the pep talk about the injections -- This is nothing compared to what labor will be like (and I kinda called that one). It got easier each time, especially as I found others in the blog world who were going through the same thing as I was at the same time. I would do every single thing again, multiple times, if it meant I got to find my way to Charlotte. This girl is my own living, beating heart, outside of my body. I am so thankful to the team at IHR here in Chicago for all of their kindness, support, and knowledge. The team at IHR helped Porch and I start our little family and we could never fully express the gratitude we have for that gift. I am still thinking of those who are in the midst of their journey to parenthood, thos...

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool. Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

Newborn Pictures

I have never been a fan of those cheesy newborn pictures but I am quickly appreciating the fact that it was likely the cloud of infertility and the fact that I had never had a child that made me laugh every time I saw a picture of baby feet with wedding bands on them. I mean... really. Then I met my daughter and I won't even apologize; she has made me into a sentimental basket case. I'm already thinking about holidays and traditions and forcing myself to savor and remember every moment with her as an infant because I know all too well that I am going to blink and be sending her off to college. Or at least kindergarten. I enlisted the help of an outstanding up and coming photographer, Cecil Ramirez , from Chicago whom I had had the pleasure of working with at work. I had been following his work on Facebook and wanted to capture the first days of Charlotte being home with us and asked him to come into our home to take some candid shots of our little family ...
