Well Hello Hump Day
It's the middle of yet another work week...who else is ready for Friday at 5pm???
We got Don's other W2 in the mail and I put it in Turbo Tax...yeah, it says we owe $300 to state and will get $130 back in federal. WTF, I know it's not as bad as some of you, but like everyone else - we could have really used a better refund this year!
I have salsa chicken cooking in the crockpot for dinner...I hope it's yummy! It's a recipe I found on the WC board. The WW mac 'n' cheese moleson posted the other day was excellent! Leftovers are in order tonight!
Re: Well Hello Hump Day
Sadly I am not really excited about this weekend:( I have to work at the resturant I normally just do Saturdays at ALL weekend.. So Boooo...
Tonight is trivia night. I hope we do better then last week.. Wish us luck..
I also need more coffee today..
Trivia night sounds fun...go kick some butt!
Hopefully you'll make some good money at the resturant...since you're stuck there all weekend.
Starbucks coffee sounds yummy right now...white chocolate mocha
Thanks..
Saturday I could make money but Sunday I am working during the day so we will most likely be dead since everyone will be there at night for the super bowl. At least I'm not working during that. Actually I probably would quit if he made me work during that.
I cannot waaaaaaait for Friday! I am so burned out on work and mentally exhausted right now. I don't even know why. I'm just in a funk. I need spring to pull me out of it! :-)
The salsa chicken sounds awesome. Let me know if it's good and share the recipe, please. (I'm too lazy to go over to WC and search for it. :-P)
we are totally snowed into today--- supposed to get 4-8 inches of snow-- jealous of the Trivia night dude! I rule at that!! I'd be an aspiring asset to anyone's team.
Additionally I could use some coffee at this point....we have an old coffee machine that doesn't even keep the coffee hot after about -- oh let's say 15 minutes. LAME! Starbucks is my fav-- but I'm not endangering my life just to get a quick fix.......I'll just have to settle for cocoa or tea.
Tonight we are getting together with some friends and their kids to go snow sledding.....the mayor or Albany declared a state of emergency due to the weather! Wee ha!
Datsyuks & Ferdy- We Go Together Like...
Today started out like a freakin' Monday. My 15-20 minute drive to work took an hour because of a damn busted sewer pipe or something on the busiest road in Augusta and of course, asswads wait til the last minute to move over. I feel like I'll never get caught up on all this stupid paperwork or meetings. I'm feeling way in overe my head with 3 different schools.
And to make it worse, I'm about to go back to PRN at the nursing homes to bring in some extra moola since DH's job sucks. I really wish he would be the one to get a 2nd job but oh well.
I cannot WAIT for this weekend (actually tomorrow night) when my nephew, sis and BIL come in. Friday is going to be SO dang hard to work all OR I might call it a day after i finish my therapies.
its none of my business and you don't have to answer, but ill ask anyhow...why do you have to be the one to get a 2nd job - why won't be?
from what you've posted about your job on here it sounds like you're mad busy so i can't imagine you getting a 2nd job...you'll be stretched to the max

Its very Monday-ish. I'm in a horrible mood. So I'm going to vent/whine.
My college classes are exhausting. They should have advised that Accounting 1 online = 20 hours of work each week. I just want a day off and I can't have one until April or whenever they made spring break.
H hasn't found a job yet and I'm getting anxious/irritable about it. I don't feel like he's taking looking for one seriously enough but I don't want to nag him either. I want to get out of debt and buy a house and we can't do either unless we're both working.
I'm irritable as all hell with my job right now. I'm SO tired of paying for shiit the other offices buy. If we don't get the revenue for it, I don't want to effing pay for it. I came in this morning to a $1000 UPS bill for a part thats used by another division in our company.
And of course all I can think about is vacation which I desperately need but I can't take because I refuse to spend any money until H is working again. ::grumbles and kicks wall::

I should mention he's also in night class to finish up his GED so he is going to school and working. And when he passes his math test, he'll be done and will either go to college or train to be a firefighter. Also, I make in a day what he makes in two weeks and he'd only be able to a get a minimum wage (probably, if that) anyway and if I take the PRN job then I'll make more an hour than I do now. Money wise, it just makes the most sense. And being on a school schedule, I get more breaks/days off/summers off so can work more.
Half of my company's offices are closed due to the bad weather, from Dallas to Boston. so this means a slow day, which is fine by me as it gives me time to plan my menus for the week and make a grocery shopping list.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Accounting classes are so much work. I was going to take a 4 unit class this semester but dropped it. From reading the syllabus the class was intense. The instructor said the workload was also intense and if you don't think you can handle it drop the class. Plus I didn't want to have a 30 minute commute each way two days a week. I thought it would be better worth my time to study for the LSAT than to take a class I probably would have dropped.
So my Wed is okay so far. I have my health, a roof over my head, and food on the table. I need to stay optimistic and things will get better.
Jen- I love the WC board. I mostly lurke on there and post sometimes. I've also been active on the H&F board.
I dread doing our taxes. MFD always owes and I'm going to get killed due to him, I know it.
I don't care for chicken dishes in the crockpot. Weird?
This morning I sat on my couch until 8:30. My train line was down, so I waited until 8:30 to go to the station when I got notification that it was back up. I didn't get into the office until 10:30, should've stayed home it would've been a better use of time.
My mom lost power and they say it will be out until tomorrow so they are all probably coming to stay at my house tonight, including the huge dogs.
Our couch has a huge rip in it, I am pissed and I want a new one but probably should not put the money out for one right now. I will call the ahole warranty place this weekend.
Last night I went to Target. Mfd made soup and sandwiches for dinner. We watched TV, then he went out to drop stuff off at a client's and pick up a check. I watched 90210 and Gossip Girl, did a load of laundry, made soup for today's lunch and savory oatmeal for the rest of the week.
His family minus his ahole sister are coming for dinner Thursday, so I think we are going to make a huge crock of chili and have that with salad and corn bread. We need to go to the grocery store tonight to get stuff for that tonight.
