Pseudo-Friday
Since I don't have to work tomorrow it is "pseudo-Friday" for me. I don't know if I will have time to post the best and worst parts of the week tomorrow, so here it is one day early.
What was the best and worst part of your week?
Re: Pseudo-Friday
Best: DH's company received free Cubs tickets from a client on Monday and I got to tag along. They were probably the best seats I've ever had. Then yesterday a friend got free seats and invited DH & I. The seats were supposed to be in the upper level, but there was a double-header yesterday so the stadium was pretty empty for the night game. DH had went to the day game w/tickets for the good client seats, so last night we scanned our crappy tickets to get, but walked to the client seats and then I realized my brother was at the game a few rows ahead of us, so we moved up with him. I was seating 20th row (4th row in our section), straight out from the pitcher on first base line. Amazing (and free!)
ETA: and I realized that w/our rewards CC, we earned $50 in one month, pretty sweet! (We charge everything for the points and then pay off immediately)
Worst: Today my dad is taking his 3rd day off work sick, and if he's still not feeling well then my parents/sis won't come visit this weekend. Praying he gets better!

I can't wait for this long weekend...it's been a rough couple of weeks. We actually get Friday and Monday off
I do have to come in tomorrow to send an email, so I get paid 3 hours of overtime to press "send", but it's got to be sent from the office and not from home for security/privacy issues.
Best part of the week: DH and I had a really good chat last night about TTC. I was feeling like he wasn't excited/worried about it and it was me doing all of the worrying/talking/planning. But, he's excited/worried too.
Worst part of the week: Our truck is STILL in the shop and then warranty company will no longer cover the cost of a rental, so now we have to spend another $250 on a rental. Once this warranty runs out, I will never set foot back in that dealership.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermBest: Getting the news that my temp job has officially been extended (I thought I was out of here by April 29th before) as well as getting an interview for another job today at 2pm. I've been working so hard at my current job and sending my resume to so many places; it's a nice feeling to know that my hard work is finally starting to pay off.
Worst: Having my Mom tell me that the whole family thinks I've been really cold/rude lately but have let it 'slide' because they know I've been stressed out due to the job situation. Thanks Mom, thanks. Maybe me being cold/rude is just my way of letting you know that I don't want to be so involved in the family on a day to day basis; I want to spend time working on my own little family (Jason and the cats lol) rather than listening to you talk about yourself and how fabulous my siblings are. Peace out Mom.
Best: It's a short week anddd we get out an hour early today anddddd I have off on Monday. Today is my bro's bday so we're celebrating with dinner tonight then packing up and leaving at 4am for West Virginia. I cannot wait to be with the family.
Worst: Ugh I feel like debbie downer lately and like I'm whining all the time about this stuff but I am seriously a disaster lately. Last night I was talking to my bro about his bday dinner plans and when discussing how many of us it would be we BOTH accounted for my mom mom.. and it effing sucked when we BOTH paused and fumbled to correct it and then it just got awkward so we changed subjects and moved on. I hung up with him and cried.
Aww, Kearstin, don't feel badly. My grandmother's have both been gone for years (18 and 10), and I still get teary-eyed when shopping for Mother's day cards. Seriously. There's no set time frame for grieving, and the added task of cleaning out her stuff certainly adds to the feeling of loss. So don't be too hard on yourself.
Best: I've knocked a lot of stuff out for prom next weekend. It will still be a crazy week though. And I got to snuggle w/my baby nephew last night. Babies are the best!
Worst: This weather just sucks. Our yard is a disaster because it hasn't been warm enough for any length of time to work out there. We still have our furnace on. It is getting to be the end of April. Mother Nature: you are just being ridiculous. I just want to work on the yard and walk the dogs.
Thank you, Erica. I think I'm trying to rush the grieving because I can't stand this feeling, and I really hate it when it catches me off guard like that. Thanks for the support though, it does make me feel better.
Not to hijack this post anymore, but I always found it was the little moments, long after the funeral was over and everyone else had moved on, that always got me most. (For example, my grandma and I used to watch the Golden Girls together, so even now - 18 years later- it makes me think of her when I watch it, and out of nowhere I miss her like whoa.) So take care of yourself, and we're here for you to vent/cry to anytime.
Best: Today is payday and I am off work tomorrow and Sunday. Lance and I are going out with friends Saturday night to celebrate our 6 months of marriage. We haven't been able to go out and actually stay out/have fun in a long time because of my work situation.
Worst: More family drama with my SIL who is continually making crap up and forcing me to want to commit murder. I am so over her and her BS I could scream. I was super excited to get to attend easter with Lance's family and now I am considering not attending.
Best: DH and I may have decided to move up our TTC timeline and we got a lot of work done on our master bedroom.
Worst: It was a pretty good week, although I did find out this morning that the school board is voting on our pay freeze tonight which is a shoe in...but at least I know I have a job a lot of my co workers aren't so lucky...
