Friday! Best & Worst Parts of the Week?
What were they? Please share!
Re: Friday! Best & Worst Parts of the Week?
Best: We did a lab in science yesterday that the kids seemed to really like. It was about the play Romeo and Juliet which they just finished in English class. The most fun part was that they couldn't believe that I planned the lab around the time they were reading it. They seem to think the English teacher and I don't talk or that I didn't listen the 15 million times they told me what part they were reading in class. It was funny to listen to.
Worst: I had an absolutely AWFUL meeting with the parents who are in charge of after prom this year on Tuesday. I started crying when I got to my car. They are supposed to run after prom, but they question EVERY single thing I do for the prom and then berate me for my choices. I have done this for 6 years, I have some idea what I am doing. I was being constantly attacked. I typed my prom advisor resignation letter as they were leaving the meeting. I don't have to deal with that level of disrespect (the parents have been pretty terrible the last three years).
Best:
My husband put together the bookcase in Carter's room, which makes it look that much better!
Also, his car seat is on sale for $40 less than usual, so since we need two and I'm not sure we'll get both at our showers, I'm going to buy it this weekend.
We had dinner with friends on Monday night, which was really nice. And went to my parents' house on Tuesday to have dinner and do laundry.
Work was really busy this week...which made the days go by super fast!
Worst:
Still living with no kitchen sink, dishwasher, or clothes washer. You don't realize how important these things are when you're used to them until you don't have them anymore. I know people in other places often don't have dw or laundry in unit, and I just cannot imagine! Really, it's the not being able to eat at home because we can't clean the dishes part that's killing me. Plumbers and insurance adjuster come today. Please keep us in your thoughts that this is a smooth, fast process!
On top of the insurance adjuster and plumbers coming today, I am also backing up two of my coworkers, so it should make for a really, really crazy day!

Worst? my eating habits have SUCKED.....AF and WW fought this week and AF won
scale will tell tomorrow am 
Getting fit for IVF!
Best: Finding out we shouldn't pay for Oscar to have allergy testing done, getting new work pants for $17
Worst: Getting home from work last night and realizing we didn't move the car for street cleaning, thus getting a $50 ticket (they clean our streets once a month and put up signs a day or two ahead of time, but since we typically don't drive during the week, we seem to always end up with tickets), I went to the gym last night but wasn't really "into" it and only stayed about 30 minutes.

Best: We got the keys to our NEW HOUSE!!!!
Worst: DH is grumpy with nerves about the new house, and I have to spend a lot of time cajoling him out of a funk. And he keeps freaking out about furniture - he will like something the first time we go to a store, but hate it when we go back. And then panics when he realizes we'll have no furniture.
Best: Beautiful weather. Found out our video will be done in 2 weeks (finally!!!)
Worst: The last 3 nights I haven't been able to sleep much and it has absolutely caught up to me today. I'm in some kind of nasty funk and really just want to crawl in a hole.
Best: We made this for dinner (found it via Pinterest) Monday night and it was quite simply one of the best meals we have ever made in our new house.
Worst: I ate something with too much cheese (I'm allergic) a couple of nights ago and spent the night worshipping the porcelain goddess, which sucked majorly.
Best: Planning a trip with my sister and niece to go visit our brother's new baby this summer.
Worst: Work has been HELL this week. I cried once in front of my boss because I was so mad, and then just about cried because the Director asked me to do something that took me like 5 minutes and wasn't difficult.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermBest: Everything going well with Khloe's surgery and finally having it done and over with. Having three days off this week because of Khloe's surgery. Knowing that I only have four days of work next week also.
Worst: Keeping Khloe from jumping on/off the couch, going up/down the stairs, and not allowing her to do anything. The crappy weather that we are having after having so many nice days! Mother Nature is such a tease!
Best: we had an awesome camping trip with my parents last weekend and I got new sneakers for $19.99 on Sunday (man this was a rather boring week!)
Worst: I've been sick and my husband's best friend lost her pet rabbit this week (she is distraught and we feel terrible for her)
This is a tough one this week...
Best: Hubby was offered a new job right near our house instead of an hour away and that leads into worst...
Worst: The same day hubby got a job...I found out that I am losing mine. Our school is closing at the end of this school year after a long fight with our archdiocese....270 children with no where to go. Been a long long sad week
Worst: I had to write a crazy final exam today
Best: I kicked ass on said final exam
Best: Won money in Tahoe!
I'm sorry, Chelley. I hope you're able to find another job quickly.
Thank you
