Confession Friday

I just filched half and half from a coworker’s stash so that I didn’t have to walk up a flight of stairs to the second floor kitchen for coffee accoutrements.

Current state of my front yard.  Remember when I mentioned that we decided to update all three of our bathrooms.  At once.  Right before this baby is due.  Of course we did.  And of course the 60+ year old water line from the street to our house decided to crumble (literally) during the process.  We are idiots.

Updates

Got a good report at the OB this monring. No progress yet, but the doctor expects to see this baby in the next 2-3 weeks (at the latest).

In other news, we* decided to start and hopefully finish relatively minor updates to all three of our bathrooms next week. We have impeccable timing.


* Please note that we are doing none of this work ourselves and that Skip has had a come-to-Jesus conversation with the contractor we’re working with that they will be finished on time.

Repinned to remind myself in a few weeks and for my Skinnygirl friends.  So excited about this development just in time for summer!

“7. Your parents don’t want what is best for you. They want what is good for you, which isn’t always the same thing. There is a natural instinct to protect our children from risk and discomfort, and therefore to urge safe choices. Theodore Roosevelt—soldier, explorer, president—once remarked, “It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.” Great quote, but I am willing to bet that Teddy’s mother wanted him to be a doctor or a lawyer.” — From 10 Things Your Commencement Speaker Won’t Tell You

I can no longer wear my wedding rings. And yes that song is now stuck in my head.
