Friday Confessions
Anyone have anything?
Re: Friday Confessions
I feel totally disconnected right now. MH and I were talking about it last night.. it's like I just can't plug into what's going on right now. I feel horrible because I've done next to nothing for JDRF - part of that, I think, might be because things are awkward between L (the friend I started the team for) and I ever since she got pg. (She now wants to hang out with C non-stop because C is also expecting a girl so they are like two 16 & Pregnant schoolgirls giggling about how they'll play dress up with their babies. I wish I were exaggerating... but it got to the point I had to hide C on FB.)
Anyway, that makes me feel totally sh*tty because JDRF is a great freaking cause, still.
I also just can't quite get excited about our Fiesta. I need to get my sh*t together and start putting it together since it's in less than a month and we haven't even ordered invitations.
I'm a little irritated at MH. He bought ink for our printer at home... and got the off brand. Now our printer is ALL kinds of messed up. I really really need it to work right now, because otherwise I can't do our Fiesta invitations once I get them.... and we have to pay $50 for the company to print them and we might not get them for another 2-3 weeks. Not acceptable.
Some printers just will not accept the off brands. My lexmark will not. I tried taking an empty lexmark cartridge and getting it refilled and it wouldnt even accept that! I was pretty pissed. I really want a kodak printer next time I get one.
I have been a little upset with MH recently too. He has just had a poor attitude and that drives me crazy. Some of his reasons are legitimate but other times I just want to smack him and say suck it up!
MH wants us to relocate. He's been looking into some job opportunities in North Carolina and one company is pretty interested in him. I'm not sure where this came from because he's always been a homebody and I've been the one okay with moving...now it's kind of the opposite. I'm not thinking about it too much though because there hasn't even been any talk of compensation yet and well that would be the determining factor.
I am alittle jealous that my SIL is having her baby probably in the next week. I don't want to go into labor till I am full term at the earliest but since she didn't find out she was pregnant till she was 11 weeks along (I found out when I was less than 4) I feel like I have been pregnant for longer than she has lol.
I know this is dumb and irrational, thankfully I only have a few more weeks or else I would probably be more bitter about it.
I'm jealous of this. I have been thinking about it again this week (part of my mopey "Woe is me... all my friends are so far away and I don't fit in here" PMS pity party.) But I know MH will likely never just find another job and the whole relocation for work isn't all that common here... it seems the majority of people in this area are born here, go to college, and choose to come back here. *sigh* Yes, it's a nice area. I get that. But I'm so over it.
Also, MH and I have fallen into a "bedroom funk" the past 2 weeks or so and I really wish he'd get over it; he says he doesn't know what his deal is, but he has lost his "mojo". I hate it when he says that.
I used to always want to get out of here...everyone growing up wanted to move away but then you grow up and want to stay! People come to college here and love it and then stay. I think moving would certainly be an adventure that I wouldn't mind doing but saying and doing are two completely different things. Thats why I'm not really even thinking of it too much until theirs an offer on the table that would be hard to refuse.
I almost quit my job on Wednesday.
I'm really annoyed with most of my friends who live here. They've all messed up their lives and I can't help but sit here and judge them (especially the one who left her husband because another man offered her a life that he can't even provide for her - he told her he was a millionaire and he's not....). As I told MH the other night "I just want my normal friends who don't care who drives the nicest car or who carries the most expensive purse back." Of course, they all live in different towns from me and it's hard to visit. Sigh.
My good friends live far away too and it's hard. I've been trying to rekindle some relationships that died over the years and that's hard.
Welcome to the pity party! LOL This is exactly why I want to move... the opportunity to meet people I might have something in common with.
I googled GB blogs to see who else was out there. Of course, they're all about GB Packers
but I found one that looks almost normal but followed the other for 3 days before unsubscribing. The chick is CRAZY... I had hoped her naming the blog "The Psychobabble" wasn't meant literally! (I think it might've been.)
We were seriously planning on moving away...we weren't sure where (I got over the Hawaii thing b/c I really need winter) but it was going to happen. Then we built a house here w/o even thinking about it. I'm super excited about the house, but a part of me is wondering what we would have done if we hadn't done it.
Another one - I haven't planned a single thing for our trip. Nothing. I don't know where any restaurants are, how to get from the hotel to the town, no spa reservations for our anni...nothing. It's to the point that I'm hoping I can just show up and hope it all works out, but I'm afraid that'll be a disaster.

Im furious with my SIL who doesnt seem to get by my FB statuses that they are directed at her. She got engaged last week and just before that she basically told me that i cannot do anything because i am a mommy now. That really offended me and ticks me off. Just because im a mom doesnt make me incapable of doing things. I do not want to hear about her wedding for this next year and a half.
Also, DH keeps mentioning we need a vacation. Well no joke but if you say no to everything i say then where are we going to go. Nowhere. He still is talking about it and i just choose to ignore him and say we arent taking one so stop talking about it.
Sorry about your SIL. I don't see an end to that. I think it'd be worse if you were living there.
As for your vacation you just need to tell Nick you are coming to VA for your vacation and he can come or stay home!
