    Ultimate FWP - the cleaning lady flipped the mattress when she was changing the sheet in E's crib, so I have to redo it this afternoon and put the soft side back up (we switched it about a month ago). She woke up at 5 this morning instead of sleeping later like she has been, and I don't know if that was part of it. I couldn't get her back down at all.

    Add to that, I still can't get this plugged duct cleared. And my laptop won't connect to the wireless dock at work. Annoying morning.

      We dropped my SIL off at the airport this AM and then I took the girls for donuts and we came home and played for 45 minutes before work. It was super fun to be with them in the AM since usually we have somewhere to go (dance, a run, or church on the weekends).

        Hugs, Allison, I hope it clears soon. That's so painful.

        T&S, that sounds fun!

          Went to a Blazers game with DH last night, and it was so much fun!

            Thanks LM - after talking to some other women and consulting Dr. Google, I'm not sure it's a plugged duct after all, which explains why I can't clear it. It started Sunday morning, and my cycle started yesterday. I can express milk, and it's not super painful or hard, but it's definitely a harder spot. I've been diagnosed with fibrocystic changes in the past, so I suspect it's actually related to that and not a plugged duct. Maybe. I'm going to keep an eye on it though, because I certainly don't want mastitis.

              Some good news, at least - I just got my course evaluations back, and they were all positive, mostly agrees/satisfied and somewhat agrees/satisfied with a couple of strongly agrees/satisfied.

                Yay for good evals, ALOY!

                I've had a sore throat for a couple of days and today it's gotten worse which sucks because I have therapy in an hour and need to talk. Boo.

                  I'm obsessed with the food trucks that park by my office. Eating braised pork and roasted squash tacos right now that are A-MAZING. I also bought another woman lunch because she said she had just been discharged and was on her way back to the shelter. I generally prefer to support homeless shelters instead of giving things directly, but we were standing outside of the hospital, she was in a hospital gown, she looked healthy, and I gave her food, not money, so I figured it couldn't hurt?

                    Yay for awesome reviews, ALOY!

                    I'm with you on the lunch...I had a chicken quesadilla for lunch and I'm pretty sure it was the most delicious thing I've eaten in my life. Of course, that's a hyperbole but it was yummy!

                    Also, sorta weirded out by how hard my stomach is these days. How can such a small child already be causing my entire stomach to be a rock? It's, like, 6 inches big!

                      And as if I wasn't feeling fat enough, there's king cake in the office. It's Carnival (Mardi Gras) season in New Orleans, so there's king cake everywhere, and it'S SO GOOD. I have to force myself not to buy one every time I go to the grocery store.
