Re: Manic Monday

  • weekend high: getting to spend some time with my baby nieces on Saturday

    weekend low: Ben and I. some days I feel like we're falling apart and I just can't stop it. You can't even begin to imagine the amount of stress that 2 years of IF puts on a marriage.

    I'm so sorry, A.  
    my read shelf:
    B's book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • Highs: I clean rental houses Saturday mornings and I got a boatload of stuff left behind by renters this weekend including a whole case of Sam Adams Octoberfest.

    Lows: I felt bad canceling on SIL's BBQ but I just really couldn't make myself drive 6 hours round trip for a few hours.

    I can only imagine how hard this is for you. I have told you many times and will still continue to tell you that I am so sorry and i will keep you in my thoughts that things will get better for you.
  • High - Nice relaxing weekend, got the house spic and span and the carpets steam cleaned. We went crabbing yesterday and then went to a friends house to eat them.

    Low- Did something to my back overnight from Friday to Saturday and couldnt really move too well all day. So I laid on the couch with Lidacane patches all over my back and ate freeze pops and watch Harry Potter. It was wonderful. Minus the pain.

    I'm so sorry A. I would do anything to help you out. :(

    Highs - I spent a lot of time with the boys this weekend.

    Lows - I've been really pissy lately and I can't figure out why. I think I'm just really stressed out.

  • A - Have you guys thought about getting some sort of help?  Like a support group or something?

    I am so sorry. I second a support group of even a couple of counseling sessions for you both.

    Highs: spent much needed time with Greg. Went out to eat and did some shopping.

    Lows: not much, M had me up half the night last night.

    I've looked into it and found someone that deals specifically with couples dealing with IF but I haven't actually made the call. I don't know that Ben would go and I think that would just make me resent him...

  • Highs - My trip to Lancaster on Friday was insanely successful.  I got lots of new things to wear to work and didn't spend that much.  The first day of school is always easier to handle when I know I'm going to look adorable.  And the rain held off Friday night, which was great because the concert we went to was outside.  And I did convince H that we should see his parents, so we got some good QT in, thus alleviating my guilty conscience.

    Low - H snuck me into his office's fitness center late Saturday morning (we were the only people there) and I had an absolutely terrible run on the treadmill.  I think I've morphed into an outdoor runner and I don't know what that means for the winter!

    Then maybe you need to tell him that.

    Agreed. You two are going through a lot right now. Maybe talking to an unbiased third party would help a little.

    I'm sorry you have to deal with this. ((hugs))

    Highs~ We got new phones.  FINALLY!  And M did so good in her stroller while we were at the mall.

    Low~ DH was bummed yesterday about having to go back to work today.

    Oh A, I really wish I could do something more for you guys. Why not mention it to B, he might be so down he's willing to try anything?

     

    Highs: N got a riding mower from my great-grandfather's house (he died in Feb). It's been a huge mess with the estate, but it's almost all sorted out and we got lucky and got the mower. Also, the in-laws came. NO, that's not a high, but it worked out. I suggested we go out to dinner and whispered to N that we would get separate checks. He announced before we even left that "I can't pay for everyone, but I can drive." I made sure L sat between me and N and so MIL couldn't harass her.

    Lows: Aside from the stairs almost taking out half my family, I got very little painting done in our bedroom. Turns out my room is bigger than I thought and the color was much darker- I need 2 coats of primer and 2 of paint AKA awful. I did one coat of primer yesterday and I'm halfway done the second coat today.

  • And I just realized I didn't post mine haha

    Weekend highs - It was a really really good weekend.  I feel like J and I have been off for a few weeks, like just not on the same page.  We had a good talk Wednesday, and we had fun this weekend as a cause.  We went out to dinner Friday, redbox and subway Saturday, and walked out to the lighthouse at turkey point Sunday.  

    Weekend lows - today we went to get J's haircut.  It's awful... It might need it's own post...
