B&M Monday
I have to start this one this week so that I can B*tch and Moan about our flooded basement. After the hurricane, we dried the carpet, and it really seemed like everything was fine, the pad seemed dry, etc...
Fast forward to this past Thursday morning when we woke up to another flood, much less water this time, but still, we were flooded again. We moved everything out of the basement into the garage, after just having moved it back in on Monday, and began the drying process again. It really didn't seem like it was drying as well as last time.
This morning, DH pulled up a corner of the carpet to make sure the pad underneath was drying, and it was still damp/wet. So, he pulled up the pad a little, and found a spot of mold. At that point, we decided to rip out the carpet (at 6:30 this morning, before work). There's really only a few little spots, and I'll be cleaning them up today, but I'm just so sick of this! I know there are so many people so much worse off, and I feel bad for even complaining, but I'm just so frustrated! Now in addition to $2K+ to try to fix the drainage problem that we think caused the flood(s) in the first place, we have to replace the carpet or flooring, etc... I'm ready for this to be over!
Re: B&M Monday
That sucks about the flooding. No fun at all!
My B&M is that despite being exhausted, I cannot sleep at all anymore. Last night I finally came downstairs and watched TV/slept fit-fully on the couch so that I didn't disturb DH anymore because he had to get up to work. Boo. Lets hope I can nap.
- Busy season needs to be over so I can have a few days off.
- My dad is still in the hospital and he pretty much said he was coming home today no matter what they tell him. I would love for him to come home, but I would rather he get better first!!
- Maggie is sick... again... still ... whatever you want to call it. he has this awful cough that keeps waking her up at night. Awesome.
- I was pulling out of my spot in the garage at work Saturday and was so tired/preoccupied, that I wasn't paying attention and I hit the side of my car on one of the support poles. Seriously... just when we were comfortable and getting things paid off - we now have that extra expense.
All of my football teams lost this weekend..horribly...and I'm having a day of getting harassed about it by 11-14 year olds...it's getting old quick and putting me in a crappy mood.
I wish my cycles would figure themselves out so I can have a baby.

Did you SEE that Colts game? That's enough of a B&M. On top of that Irsay is back on his dancing around the subject tweets. He doesn't make press release like a mature owner does. He tweets because he's just so cool. Or a d-bag. Nonetheless he told fans to prepare for major changes in the next 18 months. If those changes include you dropping Manning like a bad habit, you and I are going to have words, Irsay.
I wish my cycle would start again. We got the thumbs up from the doctor to start trying as soon as my cycle starts. SO START ALREADY!
I went off the pill in June and I now look (and feel for that matter) like a teenager in puberty.
My skin looks HORRENDOUS and I'm getting fat.... No idea what the connection is but my metabolism has completely shifted since going off.
This is really bothering me.
I realize these could also be pregnancy signs but I've been charting and my temp has dropped the past two days, so I'm guessing that is not in the cards either.
UGH.
-DH is currently working 7 days a week, 14-16 hours Mon-Friday and about 8 hours Saturday and Sunday. I get the need for it, and it should be over around the end of October, but it's getting really tiring not having him around ever. Plus, he's not being treated well at work, so it's really frustrating.....
-I'm feeling too lazy to list the 20+diapers I need to thin out on eBay. By lazy I mean busy, and by busy I mean overwhelmed.
Our new policy at the college SUCKS for students who want to withdraw. I just had a student call me to withdraw b/c her financial aid will not be going through this semester (she defaulted on her old loans-her fault), but since she called me today instead of last week, she is now responsible for 100% of the semester bill (since it's after 10 calendar days) when she clearly doesn't have the money. The policy changed right before the semester started and students aren't really aware of it yet. Guess who gets to be the lucky one to tell her that news....ME. Actually, I think I'll be transferring her up to the Business Office for that...I'm not in the mood to ruin someone's day lol.
If she is going to be responsible for 100% of it, wouldn't it make sense just to stay in the class? Although it is a dumb policy, they should get a little more time.
Absolutely, and I'm going to mention that to her when she calls me back (she left a voicemail the first time).
This morning David got off after a 4 day straight ambulance shift, but he has hospital shifts today and tomorrow, so I will only see him from 7-9 tonight, if he can manage to stay awake.
He did get to come to my company picnic for an hour on Saturday, but since he hadn't slept longer than 30 minute stretches at a time for over 48 hours (and probably only 6 hours total combined), he was pretty much a zombie, didn't talk to any one, and I had to apologize like crazy after he left. It was fine, and I semi-expected him to be out of it, but still disappointed that my bosses and coworkers didn't really get to meet the real him.
A bunch of people that RSVP'd to the company picnic didn't show, so I over purchased food and we didn't get to play a bunch of the fun games I had planned. This picnic has been my baby, and so I'm still PO'd about that. Thought my bosses told me I did a great job and really stepped it up when the other organizer flaked out. Doesn't help that I have to figure out what to do with 40+ leftover hamburger and hot dog buns!!!
I had too much sun and not enough water on Saturday, and was nauseous and dizzy on Sunday morning and missed the 9/11 ceremony at the fire station
Probably not the right place for this but here goes.
I found out via FB tonight that a girl I went to HS with lost her little boy to SIDS today. I was 1 month old on Friday. She and I weren't close at all but it just breaks my heart for her.
