Monday Moans
UGH. I feel like crapola today. It's TOM (which is actually the first TOM i've had for 2 months because the BC i'm on somtimes makes me miss it) and its WICKED. I feel like puking and im so tired.
On top of that, i'm on call this whole week so it will stink even more having to work like 5 million hours while feeling like this.
Additionally, this is the last week my sis/BIL/baby niece will be here before going back to Poland until June (the leave on sunday). I won't be able to visit them at all this week b/c of the on-call work, and im hoping they'll be able to visit me on Saturday before they leave so i can say goodbye 
. I'm super bummed and worried about how my mom is going to deal with living alone (will be the first time ever for her in her life....). We're fixing up our spare room for her to stay in if she wants to, but it wont be done by next weekend.

Re: Monday Moans
Sorry you aren't feeling well Kim!! I'm sure your sister will make a point to come see you before they leave. As for your mom, you guys are doing a great thing by fixing up the guest room to give her a place to stay if she needs it. I bet you'll be surprised at how strong your mom is, but I have no doubt that she appreciates all your concern and care!
My moan is that I can't even begin to describe how quickly I get annoyed at stuff regarding the living stituation. I'm almost at my wit's end - I just have to keep telling myself that it's almost over. For example - MIL is back to doing Jenny Craig so she has all these frozen meals. Fine....but when I open up the freezer to take stock in what we need to get from the grocery store and there literally isn't any room for us to even buy anything that needs to go in the freezer - ya I'm annoyed. If I want to buy meat because it's on sale, then I should be able to buy it!
Ugh. Ya - I gotta get outta there!!
I hope you get some time with your sister, BIL and niece before they leave!
I hate that it is Monday morning, dark and rainy. It made it so hard to get out today. Especially since DH is still cozy and warm in bed!
Kim - Hope you feel better!
Lauren - I hope things get better soon. *hugs*
My moan is that spring break went way to fast, and I didn't get a "break". Now I'm back to working every day, classes 3 nights a week and guard 2 nights a week. And while guard will be over in 2 weeks, so will my first trimester. I don't mind my symptoms, and I am grateful for them, even, but the constant exhaustion is starting to make it hard to function on the schedule I am on right now. I just wish I could find a way to nap in the hour between work and class.....and being tired all the time makes me a real b!tch by time I get to whatever I am doing in the evening, and that's just not who I am. I'm at the point where I think HS students just think I'm an awful person, and my friends from school think I'm really sick/dying because I am just not myself. Oh well. only 2 more weeks of being a b!tch, right? Let's hope....
My moan is that my foot still hurts- I can't use the elliptical, it hurts to walk and whenever I bump it. I'm 99% sure I broke my toe when I stubbed it over a month ago because even though nothing showed up on the X ray there is no other real explanation for this amount of pain for so long. I can't decide if I should go to the podiatrist or not- my internist said I could for additional "stabilization" if it continued to hurt but the guy she referred me to has really restricted hours. Its gotten marginally better and I know its just going to take time to heal but I'm sick of not being able to do anything but bike and swim for working out!

Everyone welcome.
My moan is the kids not listening when I tell them to get up in the morning.
I wake them up at 7am every day for school, and have to go back to their rooms to repeatedly wake them up and get them out of bed. Before you know it it is 5 minutes till leave time, and I'm yelling and screaming like there's a fire somewhere.
How the hell do you make kids get out of bed in the morning???
Wow, you can tell by everyone's posts that it is definitely Monday. Ick.
My moan is that my friend/coworker just got hired to a new job. She starts April 4th. I am genuinely happy for her- but selfish-ly worried for myself. When she leaves, it will only leave 3 of us working full time and the owner/boss. I will be doing my job, plus the jobs of the 3 people who were supposed to be helping me. One got fired, and 2 took jobs elsewhere. Our office was already understaffed before any of this happened. I don't know what I'm going to do. I really don't. My boss hasn't hired anyone in months and I don't know when we will have time to even set up an interview, let alone post job openings. Why can't I find a new job???
