Confessions!!
I know I need this today! Confess ladies!
Re: Confessions!!
I have no drive for my job anymore. I just think about how much I want to be home with Jack. I told H yesterday that I really hope I can work part-time at some point. Maybe once our kids are in school, and H is making more $.
We have our house cleaned once/month - I should have it done twice/month because there is so much stuff that I let go until the cleaners come! I feel like a dirtball.
Good:
-I loved Chifa last night, but I could have eaten another meal's worth of food afterwards.
-I'm excited about the GT guy coming tonight!
Bad:
-I'm nervous that using my dad's friend as a realtor will come back to bite us later on. He just doesn't seem very 'with it'.
-I'm also worried that we won't sell our place. That no one will want to buy it or we'll get lowball offers because everyone watches these HGTV shows where people are knocking $20k+ off of listing price AND having the seller pay closing costs. Who the heck can afford to pay someone's closing costs?!
Ugly:
-I don't want to be in work today. It's miserable and my back hurts. I really just want to take off the rest of the afternoon and go to the gym (it makes my back feel better) and then lounge around until the granite guy comes. I've been feeling sooo lazy lately.
I am lazy. I come to work and have a hard time focusing and doing anything here. At this point, I am getting paid to sit in my office and think of the things I should be doing without ever really doing them.
I am lazy. I have yet to take a day off from work to deal with my dad's insurance and will. I am the only one in my family who will take care of this matter and I have known about this for years. Yet, I am too lazy to to do it.
I am lazy. I am kind of just floating through life right now without any long term plans because I am too lazy to make any plans and stick to them.
I am lazy...yep that pretty much sums it up.
My not so terrible one: My inlaws live 12 hours away. H wants to go visit them for a few days before our busy season starts again and we get the lottery machine installed. He devised a plan that I fly there with Jack and he will trailer their boat down with the dogs and him in the truck. I am fearful of flying with the baby by myself so soon, but cannot stand being in the car for over 2 hours.
This one makes me feel so selfish: My stepkids mother is a complete nut, as in needs a padded room. I swear she has that by proxy syndrome and is constantly keeping the kids out of school and rushing them to the doctors for nothing. She took one to the er for a bee sting (they have both been stung before and are not allergic). Anyhoo, next week H has a court hearing for contempt against her because she has been withholding the kids from seeing us since August 17. Where i feel selfish is H's lawyer put in for full custody. While I know in my heart we need to do what is right for the kids, I also know they are old enough to play games and tell each parent what they want to hear. A part of me just wants H and I to enjoy our time with Jack and the family we have built. It has been really hard for the past 4 years to build any consistancy with the kids because of the mother's actions. We have done our best to be positive with them and let them know we love them, but we are still "their father's house" not their home to them and it would be really hard on us at first if awarded full custody.
Bad:
I think my sister's husband is slowly going to drag her into a horrible life. He gets a job and then finds whatever reason to not want it anymore. He talks her into the craziest things. He's awful with money, refuses to stay in one state. He's a nice guy but has zero ambition or drive for the future.
Job:
I'm considering really laying on the sick voice on the upcoming phone call I have with my boss later. In the hopes that I will get sent home.
I tell myself every night that I am going to try to eat better/healthier for the baby - but I continue to eat a ton of sweets and crap I shouldn't be indulging in every day.
I also have no desire or motivation to do much when I'm at work. I constantly think about going out on maternity leave and wishing I didn't have to come back
