Confessions/Vents/Release...everyone take a turn
Let's start the day with getting rid of stress. For each negative thing we need to talk about lets add 2 positive items in our lives!
GO.......................
Re: Confessions/Vents/Release...everyone take a turn
Negative:
I feel I have a jumbled head full of craziness right now. lol Been a long month.
Positives:
1. Art cleaned the entire bathroom last night. Normally he handles the toilet. Last night he cleaned the tub, toilet, sink, counters. It look so good this morning!
2. Pictures of my little niece should be arriving today!
Negative:
1. My MIL turned down the "green" no wrapping paper gift idea for the shower as well as added about 6 more totally unnecessary people the guest list.
Positive:
1. My baby boy is on his way in a few more weeks!
2. I'm alive/healthy, have a job, a house, and a super awesome bunch of friends and family
Negative: I don't like the way my company treats people when it comes to getting hired/raises. It sucks and it doesn't make sense to me.
Positive: I'm married to a wonderful, loving and supportive husband and I know we have a bright future ahead of us
Negative:
1. I am to complete all this unnecessary paperwork for an audit but it is from other schools where people didn't get all there work together and now i am responsible
Positive:
1. we order our new kitchen floor and i am excited that my FIL is handy and wll install it for us
2. I have a nice house and family/friends
Negative:
I'm stressed and burnt out and just all around over it.
Positive:
I have no plans tonight - DH is going to the Knicks game with friends and Lexi is at daycare all day so she'll be sleepy tonight. I'm just looking forward to crawling into bed with my cuddly puppy and taking a nap.
DH was super sweet last night and brought me flowers. He remembered that it was the anniversary of our first date and he said he just wanted to show me that he's loved being with me for the past 5 years.
This stupid damn guy is driving me nuts! We are crazy attracted to each other but he doesn't want a girlfriend right now and that it 100% fine, idk if we'd work out anyway but he is the hottest thing I've ever laid my eyes on!
NOW stop telling me to forget about you for a while or you don't see us together or whatever and then 2 or 3 days later tell me that you miss me, that Im the one and blah blah blah!! Figure it out dumb@ss!!
Nice spin with the positive Beck!
1. I am feeling absolutely fantabulous today and Ive already been up for 8 hrs!! Ive been spinning on tue/thur mornings @ 545am and Im totally diggin it!
2. I think me and my guy bff (the one you love Gerrie lol) will probably end up getting married. We are so awesome together, we constantly make each other smile and laugh, we understand and respect each other, we have so much in common and seem to be on the same page. I'll definitely keep yall posted
Negative: I feel like nothing in my life is right. I hate that I don't have control of anything. I hate that my job is probably going to change. I just hate so many things right now. I hate how bad my throat hurts still. Grrr.. I am just mad at the world in a lot of ways.
Positive: My little man is ONE today! He is healthy and happy and brilliant and strong! I am blessed beyond reality. My husband is incredible and he loves me more than I ever thought it possible for one human to love another one. My parents are on their way here so it will be awesome to get a hug from mom and dad! No matter how old I am that always does the trick. And I have a Sweet Eats cake in my fridge. Oh yeah, oh yeah! Teri, can I get an Amen?! LOL
Brit - I think you should marry your BFF, too. From what it sounds like, he's a dream. LOVE HIM and MARRY HIM!!!!!!! hehe
Negative - I haven't started any training for my half-marathon, haven't been motivated because of the rain, too. I'm probably going to start this weekend, shin splints are the worst feeling. ::dreading this:::
Positive - 1. I talked to Eric about paying off one of my two student loans completely OFF, and we're using our tax refund money to do it. I'm so excited to finally pay this sucker off. Take that Citibank!!!
2. I'm so excited for my birthday weekend getaway, there are so many things we have planned while we're in my fave area, SF and Napa. Also, can't wait to hang out with Alicia & Becky. ;-)
(you'd have to really understand the situation to know why going there everyday stresses me out)
positive 1: I have the most understanding loving husband that he just listens when I come home screaming about this said situation. When most people would get sick of hearing it. Don't know where i'd be w/out him.
positive 2: The close friends that I have are absolutely amazing. I really am blessed.
Negative: We had 2 people retire yesterday and I just knew I was going to receive an email that there was cake upstairs and to come get some. Damn it where is the email !!!!!! It usually comes 9ish.
Positive: DH and I are taking baby steps to get out of debt and incredibly, its working!
I am on Day 28 of my Project 365 which is to take a picture a day! Sometimes its of something, other night its of absolutely NOTHING !!!
Negative:
I would LOVE to quit my job. I don't "hate" my job, but I am hating work right now.
Positive:
I know I am lucky to have a job, at all.
I have a wonderful baby and hubby who I will get to spend the summer with because of my job.
( - ) Job drama is awful...morale is so low and the work is pretty crummy...counting down the days to maternity leave, when I don't have to sit next to the drunken f-bomb dropper anymore
( + ) I made scones for the first time...and they are tasty!!!!
( + ) DH picked up the craigslist baby dresser I found last night...and it's perfect! It's brand new, looks great, matches my craigslist rocker beautifully...and saved us tons of money over retail. yay!
Vent: The sinus infection I've had for over 2 weeks is still hanging on even after antibiotics. I'm debating going back to the doctor, but it's not really bad enough to make me want to go. I kind of wish it would either go away or get worse so I'd have a reason to go in.
Happy thoughts:
That's really all I can complain about. So that's pretty good.
Katie slept from 7pm to 5am last night, she's finally starting to get back on her schedule after going out of town, getting sick, and cutting her first tooth.
Tomorrow is the weekend. Yay!
Vent: Don't really have much to vent about. Yes, BIL is still here, but he's actively looking, and I'm just looking forward to the day DH and I drive our truck with his crap in it and drop it off at his place.
Positives: Our vacation flights are booked! Can't wait.
I'm optimistic about my job search, and feel the end is in sight.
Vent: My inlaws have been here for two weeks and are driving me nuts - mostly my MIL. She talks non stop and I just want some quiet time, I guess!
Positive: I am really thankful for the help I'm getting from my parents and inlaws - it's really kept the stress away.
Positive: I'm feeling really great for being 1 week PP! Recovery has been good to me.
This almost made me fall off of my chair. When I was reading the first part I was like "yep this is why you should be with your bff" then you say this. Woot! :-) You do know that you like this "hot" guy because he's playing all like he doesn't want you, right? Maybe someone needs to tell bff to play a little hard to get. Games ARE a good thing in my opinion. Life and love is a game. You gotta shake it up. If bff was like all coy and sly and ignoring you but mysterious, you'd want to bop his brains out. LOL I'm right aren't I? LMAO.
BWAAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!! OMFG!!! You crack me up....bop his brains out....ahahahaha!!!! Eh, Im actually not into games...they piss me off! At first it is intriguing but then it just really urks my damn nerves! I kinda tried to play games with "hottie" (that is the nickname my friend & I gave him like 2 yrs ago lol) but games are not me. So I told myself that I am not gonna play games with anyone any more bc that isn't me and I don't feel like they get to know the REAL me. but I am still over here laughing
HAHHAAHAHAHHAH DH and his friends refer to " Bops " as
.... and thats not being surprised. 
Negative: I'm really stressed about leaving my students and how their semester will go.
Positive: My baby HAS to be here soon, s/he is due tomorrow!
Positive: I have wonderful people in my life supporting me with the baby and my best friend is coming into town this weekend...so she might get to meet the baby right away!
Negative:
I'm so tired of being alone all week while Andrew works out of town, having to care for the dogs who are peeing and pooing all over for no reason and having to take care of the house all by myself
Positive:
I have a great husband who loves me
I get to go on some great trips in the next few weeks
