Friday Confessions

This board is slow on a Friday, so let's hear 'em!

Re: Friday Confessions

  • At midnight last night I sent my boss an email saying I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be in until 11am today.  I was feeling fine but exhausted.  I just needed the extra few hours to sleep.

  • My aunt was here visiting this week, and I was ready for her to leave this morning.  She can be overwhelming, and a week of being with her for 24 hours a day just gets to be too much.  I feel bad saying that, though....

  • I am embarrassed to admit this- but I'm sad that I'll be in a restaurant on Thanksgiving and not enjoying a home cooked meal at someone's home. I know it's about family, and we'll be with the IL's, but still- a part of me is really bummed.

  • This is lame, but I don't care...my mom gave us these AWESOME pumpkin cookies and DH and I split them up evenly. He wolfed his down, and I, for once, exercised restraint. One night I decided to eat my last 2, and he wrestled them out of my hands and ate them! I was so mad, and I still kinda am.

  • I'm irritated that DH is going to be gone again tonight.  This is the 3rd night out of the last 4 that he will be gone as soon as he gets home from work.  I understand why he has to go to Buffalo tonight (it's the anniversary of his friend being killed in Iraq and he and some other guys from the unit go to the cemetery to pay their respects and then go to dinner together).  I get that it's important for him to go, really I do, but he's been gone so much this week and didn't even tell me he was going until this morning.  I've been sick for the last week and I'm still not feeling well, but I can't get any rest because he's so freaking busy and I don't get any sort of a break.  No wonder I can't get over being sick because I don't get to rest at all.  I'm irritated and whiny about it.
  • I am jumping out of my seat with excitement for my sister!  She worked her ass of on her National Boards (she is a teacher in Louisiana) this year.  She did all this while being pregnant, working full-time, spending quality time with her 5 year old, giving birth, and then finishing the process with a newborn (her DH is going to school for his PhD and does some teaching at the college, so he isn't home a lot to help her).  Over 50% of people who take it fail their first time.  My sister isn't one to get excited over things, but I could hear the excitement in her voice when she called me as soon as she got the news today.  I just wish I could have been there to give her a big hug!  Because of this she'll get a $5,000 raise next year (which is great since BIL will still be finishing up school) and when they move it will make it A LOT easier to find a new job.  I'm SO proud of her!!!
  • I am so buried at work it makes me want to just cry, yet I just hopped on to the nest since I haven't nested in like 5 days...  (I miss you gals!)

    I am counting the hours till I get to see New Moon... yep... I drank the kool aid too.  And I think because friends have diff schedules I am going 2X this weekend.  LOL!

    DH invited people over for dinner tomorrow PM, so now I have to go home and clean (it's a wreck since I've been working and travelling) and he's going out to play poker tonight.  And that makes me really pissed. 

    Oh, and I hate being the "bread winner" in my family and secretly want to be a SAHW.  Flame-able... I know.

  • I'm sick of working and hope that when we have kids I'll be able to stay home. 

    For a moment today I thought about quitting my part-time job despite making myself a promise that I will finish out the season (which I said I would do when hired).  So many people have just not shown up to work there and I always feel like it screws the others but for a moment it did cross my mind.  HOWEVER....I'll go in and work tonight and suck it up. 

    I'm secretly happy that DH and I are having our own Thanksgiving in our own home.  My Mom made me feel guilty about not spending time with my extended family and I pretended to be sorry but really I'm not.  I am really looking forward to a quiet day with just DH and I.  No dysfunction from either side of our families!!! 

  • I'm emotional. Crying and getting all gushy at the weirdest times. Late by 10 days and no signs of AF but seem to not be pregnant. With my hormones would simmer down and get back to normal.

    My stupid claw foot tub prob will not be here until December even though it was supposed to be here like two weeks ago. Everytime I call I get a diff story, similar but different. Frusterating. I just want my TUB!!!

    Same here... I am planning on making pies on vacation so we at least have this in the house. I will make a small dinner when we get back to WNY so we have stuffing and mashed potatoes!

  • DH went to NYC for the night and I am excited for alone time.  He was gone last weekend for a night also and I loved it then also.  Time to read the rest of New Moon, watch Project Runway, watch Twilight, eat food he hates...a great night!
