I am feeling sad

I felt like today dragged on.  Its rainy and dreary out.  J and I are arguing about money.  He feels attacked because I commented that we overspent this month on a lot of things. I was just generally just telling him.  Now we are both in a crabby mood. I am volunteering tomorrow morning and then going to tackle this pig sty of a house. Its bad!

What are you up too?

Re: I am feeling sad

  • I am exhausted. Took my mom for surgery today, and now I am enjoying a night at home.

  • I hope your mom is ok!
  • And yes, I felt the need to write it on here, even though we are FB chatting.
  • I went out and got some halloween stuff (decoration and goody wise) since october is TUESDAY! Yay! I love holidays. I also stopped at the pet store to get filters for my cats water dish (yes he has a running water bowl). And they were having a fish sale with a lot of fish on sale for $1. I currently have a 2 gallon tank with just one lonely african dwarf frog, so I felt like it was a sign. I ended up getting two cherry barbs and a zebra danio. I went in asking for "hearty fish that won't die on me easily" since I had a guppy that died within 3 days :( I'm hesitant to name these already because I don't want to get attached yet haha

    I'm currently trying out some new balloon animals. The girls I watch are having their 8th bday party tomorrow and I'm doing balloon animals for it. It's an "owl" themed party so trying to come up with a good owl one.

    That's about it :)

  • ooo You should post pictures of the ones you are doing, and we can vote on them for you!
  • Here's what I have so far. An owl hat. I'm trying to find just an owl design in non-hat form too haha.

  • OMG that is amazing.  Although that owl looks really angry.
  • hahaha I knoooooow. It's the eyebrows. As long as the kids ask for pink it should look happier haha

  • how creative you are!
  • I enjoy making balloon animals quite a bit :) I keep getting distracted by cute non-owl balloons that I'll probably try tonight haha

  • ohh I love the owl hat.  I'm sitting here having a small glass of wine and reviewing homework stuff.  P is sitting out here with me talking about moving stuff.  We are disagreeing on when to move all the furniture.  Agh, if the house hasn't sold, I want to stay here.  I don't want to move in with his mom any earlier than I have to.  I wish he could understand that.

  • :( move in with me! 
  • Fine, you twisted my arm. I'll drink with you :p

  • I was so confused there for a minute about who was drinking?!  LOL Now I get it.
  • lol. yay drinking party! 

    Honestly I wish I could just move to Colorado when he does, but I need to stay here to finish my semester.  They won't let him push back his start date until December. I get that he wants to have stuff and not be living out of a box, but my parents have offered us an extra bed, and we can split the rest of the house stuff up for him to take some of it when he goes and the rest when I go. I guess it just really bugs me that he isn't even considering it.  Just flat out no, he's moving the whole house when he goes and too bad for me.  I've tried to make several points of why it would be better for me to stay in our house if it hasn't sold yet, but he just won't listen.  I kind of want to take a page out of Tangled and hit him in the head with a frying pan.

  • Ohhh a pumpkin.  I think that is such an awesome skill to have.  Your kids will always want you to make them balloon animals.

  • I would tell them that 50% of that stuff is yours too!
  • Move 50% of the stuff :p
    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker

  • Is that why he doesn't want you to have some stuff still in OK?  because it would cost a moving truck twice?
  • Lol, that has been my main argument.  He keeps saying it's going to cost more to move part of the stuff with him and part with me.  UHaul's aren't that expensive and they are reimbursing us for up to $5000.  So I think we can afford two uHaul trips.  He's already ruled out hiring a moving company.  I told him if he wants to do it himself he can, but I want movers.

    I've tried explaining that if the house hasn't sold it will look better with furniture in it than completely empty.  I also pointed out why stay at his moms if we are paying the mortgage on our house.  And that Lily will probably stick to her routine better at our house.  Not that she won't adjust at his mom's but then she's going to have to adjust again a few weeks later. 

    Granted this is all a moot point if we manage to sell the house before he moves.  I think he's just counting on that happening so he refuses to consider any other possibly alternative. Men!

  • Haha men indeed!

  • umm I would tell him he gets 1 thing.  He can either leave 50% of the stuff or hire movers.  He chooses.  End of story.

    but that is me and I am demanding. lol
  • Hmmm that hadn't occurred to me. I might have to try that and see where it goes. I can be just as stubborn as he can. We'll find some way to compromise.

  • Kay. 1. the balloon animals are amazing. I wish there was a way to send them cause I want one.

  • Ohh cute snail. Can you do a butterfly? Thanks for the thoughts! It will all work out. It's just really stressful for both of us. I've got school and a crazy homework load. Plus we were no where close to being ready to move. He put out feelers to see what was out there and it moved pretty quick from there.

  • Balloon animals and pumpkin are amazing! So sad I missed the party.
  • My mom is doing great! I am so bummed I missed the party too!

    Michelle- I think you need to tell him that it won't always happen the way he thinks it will. J gets this in his head sometimes too. I think what Jen said is the best.
