Confessions
I confess:
- That i have to pee so many times at work (like at least once per hour due to drinking so much water) that i'm sure some people think i'm pregnant. LOL. NOPE!
- That i can't wait for the weekend so I can just sit in my hammock and drink a cup of malibu and pineapple juice (note to self, buy more juice).
- I've been working off of two pairs of dress pants for the last 3 months and i wear dress pants to work EVERY DAY. God i can't wait to find some more this weekend so I don't have to do laundry 2/3 times a week!!!

Re: Confessions
- I love just sitting around and doing nothing with DH. Although it makes me feel like a slacker that I only work 2 days a week, I enjoy the time off with him...I'll look for a 2nd job after he starts grad school
- DH has a bug collection that he keeps as pets..I'm slightly starting to get sick of it as they have been getting out more recently..I don't want to be a b**** and make him get rid of them, but UGH!
- I finished all my thank you cards on our plane trip back from our honeymoon (end of July) and I still haven't mailed them yet. FAIL
- I'm soooo looking forward to not having MIL around this weekend. I love her but I always feel obligated to talk to her when I get home from work or when I'm making dinner and to let her know when I leave the house, etc. Gets annoying.
- I really do not like living in MA and can't even describe how much I wanna get back to Atlanta. I'm scared DH won't find a coaching job in GA and that we won't ever move because he won't give up coaching.
- I might stop and get some wine on my way home tonight
*i am jealous of everyone who has seen their wedding pics. i have hardly seen any. i should get them next week, but it is hard admiring everyone's without enjoying my own.
*i am tired of doing things to coordinate my and DHs insurance, bills, etc even though i know we should do it. (i am on hold with my health insurance as i write this)
*we have only lived in my little apartment for 6 days and i am already tired of having so little space.
lburkey, wine sounds good!
- I cried this morning about something stupid from the wedding.
- I want to see my pro pics! It's not fair that she teased me with 1 teaser pic and a message that my proofs should be in this week. It's Friday and I haven't seen them.
- I really wanted to have a honeymoon baby.
** In the last few weeks since we found out we got our dream apartment ALONE, I am resenting more and more our current roommates and their habits. The worst part is our current roomies are my brother-in-law and his fiance! Oh dear.
** I'm alone in my office today. My bosses are out golfing for the entire day. I'm supposed to stay until 4:30 but it is a ghost town here and nothing is happening, so I might sneak out an hour early.
** I'm trying to eat better, but I got lazy today and stopped by our local 7-11 (if you don't know what that is, it's a chain of small convenience stores), and got a fatty hot-pocket pizza thing. Gross but delicious.
** I am "working" from home this afternoon, but I am really on the nest, watching TV, on FB and playing farmville... hahaha
**I wish I had my pictures from the wedding back... My photographer said he would put up more pictures for our preview like 2 weeks ago and NOTHING... oh well...
** I should be cleaning the house before we have a little gathering tonight and I am sitting here on the couch... OH WELL... c'est la vie!
- I spent the majority of my day at work reading. I just have no work to do! Now that I just finished the book, I am once again bored.
- My sister invited me to meet her at a flee market tomorrow at 8:30 am. I said yes but now I am regretting it cause I want to be able to sleep in!
Okay, and here is a biggy confession (please don't judge!)
-I just found out that my biological father who I've only just met two years ago and has bipolar and is basically a complete pyscho has been recently diagnosed with kidney cancer. The news didn't affect me one bit.
my read shelf:
Books read in 2011: 32 of 75
-I have been spending hours in my new classroom (school didn't start yet) and moving/unpacking a few things and then just staring at all my stuff. I should be working harder and moving faster, but I'm so overwhelmed...I only have a small office to fit everything into!
-I should be cleaning out our spare bedroom, which I've put off for months, but I'm sitting here, on the nest.
-I canceled my tanning membership and I'm sad. I know I shouldn't be and that it is bad for me, but I get soo pale and pasty in the winter!
-Nervous about my interview Monday. I haven't had an interview in three years, and I feel like I can't do it. And that I wouldn't like having to be social and talking to people all the time...but I totally can do it so I don't know why I'm stressing myself out about it.
-I was really excited to have a week at home with my hubby and the pets, and my parents will enjoy a week in Hawaii.
-But now hubby is being a PITA so I'm annoyed at him and don't care right now.
*I cried twice this week at work and I feel like I just look weak now when the truth is the summers are long days with 25 kids and I can't handle 15 problems at once when theres 4 other teachers and the kids only come to me because "you're the only one that does anything."
*I just can't stop eating now that the wed/Hm is over and I need to get back on track! We are not on our all inclusive HM anymore...
*I'm married but I want to sleep with my supervisor.....well I guess it's ok cuz my supervisor is my husband.
*I don't know if I'll ever part with my July 2010 Knottie siggy pic
*I'm so obsessed with finding a job, I go to a certain company's website at least 3 times a day to check for updates. Granted, they do post about 20 jobs a day, but only about 1 or 2 of them are in my city. I've even convinced DH to start stalking so maybe if he gets a job there, he can get me an in.
*I'm home for 2 weeks with just me & babygirl, and I'm doing horrible with housework. I mowed the front lawn on Monday, and I still haven't mowed the back lawn. No one can see it, right? I might even leave it another week until DH comes home.
Next one is a biggie...
*I almost set the house on fire
. Like, really. I boil babygirls bottles to disinfect them, and I obviously don't stand in the kitchen for the 10 minutes it takes, and there's been a few times that I've forgotten them for a good half hour. Wednesday, I turned the pot on, and left the house. I was so distracted with the construction and babygirl that I left in a hurry. I got back to the house THREE HOURS later to a smokey living room and a very hot kitchen and a pot full of burnt, melted plastic. I am SO LUCKY. My pot and bottles are ruined, and my house still stinks, but nothing else happened. I didn't sleep that night.
I can't believe I just wrote that. Don't judge. I try to be a good person!!!

awww dmorris i did the same thing! I was so exhausted i fell asleep during t the nigh. woke up my pot melted. ugh.
Don't worry about cleaning, i say screw the people who judge you for having dishes and an untidy lawn, you have a child to raise. Spending time with the child is way more important and fun.
If you want to judge
-I sometimes leave the tv on pbs and take a nap while my son watches.
that's all i really got right now (i'm pathetic)
