Starting this because I need it today
Friday I had a 14 hour work day. Leaving the office at 11 pm I decided to take the highway home because it was faster. I took the Alpha ramp onto the tollroad... and there was a stop sign (pole and everything) right at the top of the ramp. I had no option but to hit it and then heard a boom and then grinding. I was almost certian I had blown out one of my brand new tires so I try to make it to the next exit but can't so I roll into the shoulder and turn on my hazzard lights. I call DH (who i had JUST talked to but he walked into the other room and didn't hear his phone) so I called my dad... who said he would come help... but he is in the ER with my mom! (She is ok- She was in intense pain from gall stones... she will be having surgery soon) So then I call tollroad assistance, and then DH again and they both come out. Apparently hitting that sign did not blow out my tire but it did manage to wrap my wheel well around my tire. So to avoid my car being towed. We took off my hubcap, ripped out my wheel well and apparently my car is fine. Anyways, it is monday and I am still irritated. My hubcap won't stay on, so now I have one tire missing a hubcap and one mirror with it's cap missing... awesome.
Re: B&M
And I am sad that my mom has to have surgery... It isn't fair to her that she gets sick so often.I worry about her and just want her to be ok. I mean, they say she will be fine, but I worry.
*My head hurts.
*I'd rather be in bed.
*Just in a pissy mood on this gloomy Monday.
It's very difficult to stay awake to study when it is so dreary outside.
Finals. Ugh.
* It's Monday.
* I hate month end, and more than that, I hate month end when I have to do it twice.
* I also hate when I don't accomplish even 1/3 of the goals I had for myself this weekend. It leaves me very discouraged and feeling like I'm not on top of things at home.

Getting a prescrption filled for RhoGAM (due to my Type O Negative Blood) is a PITA. Walmart can't order it so I have to go to special pharmacy to get a prescription. Oh and it's not cheap. Last time it was $140 dollars. (Insurance doesn't cover it). I really should have ordered it from the pharmacy at the hospital.
Then on top of the receptionist at my OBGYN almost put me in a panic on Friday when she told me I had to come back to Dallas to get this shot in my ass and made it seem like a life or death situation. I had to tell her twice that I was in Austin for my Grandmothers funeral and that there was no way I am driving back. I am glad I got a call back from someone different who told me it would be okay if I was able to get the prescription when I returned because I just had the shot in December. Sigh.
*Work was so slow today, I was bored!
* DH and I found out yesterday that his half brother (who is significantly older than dh) got his g/f pregnant. His half sister (also older) is also pregnant, also not married. We just started TTC so at this point it looks like our potential future baby will possibly be the 3rd grandchild born in a year for FIL. I am annoyed by this because we are married and in a financial position to have a child (neither of his half siblings are) and I feel that we will get less excitement because it will be the 3rd one so close. BLAH! (I asked DH if he would call his younger brother and explain to him about condoms so that he doesn't get anyone pregnant and make us have the 4th grandchild in a year.)
swimrbride-that sucks that the other 2 kids are being born into situations that aren't exactly great. BUT, your baby will be just as precious, wanted, loved and adored as the others. Mine is the 1st on my side of the family, but #12 on DH's!!! And 1 out of 3 being born this year-1 in June, mine in August, and another in Oct. So, I understand not feeling like people are excited, but they will be, I promise (oh, and no one on DH's side will even get to see our little girl in person until she is 4 mo old, which is even harder! My parents are coming over for her birth though, thank goodness!)?
