Time Management

I need good time management.

The school year is winding down and for that I am happy. However, before September I also need to...

Get my internship at someone's district office squared away. Hopefully it will lead to a lead if you know what I mean.

Start working on chapter 1 of my dissertation. I really have to have it finished by December of next year.

Find a home to live in. We have been approved for a home loan...so we're about to own TWO houses. Reminds me of that line in Menace II Society where Cain asks the dude he's carjacking "Oh you a baller now?" (Note: If you haven't seen Menace then it won't make sense to you) We need to close by the end of June. Um...PRESSURE!!! (and sourness cause we'll have to spend regular price out here for a loan and not Michigan foreclosure rates, think about a new construction foreclosure in the mitten and add $120,000 to that price)

Get all baby gear situated. I registered at Target for bare minimum stuff as I stated before I don't want any clutter.

Help find B a new car since his lease is up. Decide if he'll get the SUV or if I will when my lease is up.

Get new license plates BEFORE next FRIDAY because if I don't after that I'll be riding durty...(and possibly wind up with a ticket)


Is anyone looking for a job as a personal assistant???

Can we get a beat?

Today was the usual routine doctor's appointment or so I thought.....

Med student came in, asked the exam questions and proceeded to take out the fetal heart monitor. Couple of minutes... no beat

5 minutes...no beat

almost 8 minutes...no beat

You know how they say when you're about to die your life flashes before you? Well, my whole TTC process from start to finish flashed before my eyes. I thought well, better call Dr. K for that IUI cause here we go again..

Internally I was flipping out and I could tell he was too. So in between me trying to stop my mind from racing and trying to reassure this poor med student that it was okay and that at the previous appt it took awhile too (more like 2 minutes) I wanted to scream..

GO GET DR.______________!!!!! *#&@&@!!!!!

He must have read my mind because he did just that. She came into the room and took the monitor and in 45 seconds flat we heard it! She even knew the bpm off the top of her head while the med student confirmed it with his watch.

Turns out I have an anterior placenta which means it goes stomach>> placenta>>baby. Its growing the opposite side of where most develop. As far as movement is concerned they said I probably won't feel any for another 4 weeks since the position of my placenta is acting like an extra cushion.

Anatomy/gender scan is May 6th.

Why? Randoms....

Why did two of my students leave their classroom come to mine and say "Oh Mrs...____ we know your secret!" Proceed to lean in and whisper.."You're preggo!"

Why was I ready to sufflex one of my teammates for telling them?

Why do I not even really care?

Why is my belling coming out farther each day?

Why am I wanting this new pair of shoes for outfits I can no longer fit into?

Why did I spend $$$$ on a new CHI that made my hair bone straight but its still too soft and full?

Why do I think I overconditioned it? Is that possible? To overcondition your hair that is?

Why did I go to service today with a slightly burnt smell to my hair because I went over it again to make it flat.

Why does my child have 27 onesies and 8 footed pjs already?

Why did my sister ask me what an "on-es-see" was? Why did I slob laughing and then cringe because she could not decode the word onesie?

Heat

Remember how I mentioned that I needed a warm weather vacay? The temp outside is 89 degrees...If this is any indication of how the summer is going to go I'm in for it....
