Happy weds!!
This seems like the longest week EVER!
Hubs and I are both having one of those weeks where we're stressed out with work (well, he's more stressed about school than work) and it's affecting us at home. I just want it to be a new week already!
How is everyone doing?
Re: Happy weds!!
Hi! I hope the rest of your week gets better!
I'm feeling down, DH left earlier this morning to go to Philly until Sunday for work. I miss him terribly when he's gone. And I always worry about him. ( getting in an accident, getting sick, things like that) I get unreasonably anxious and sad, but then I guess that's normal for a person who suffers from both GAD and depression LOL
So I can't wait for it to be next week too!
so far, wednesday sucks. maybe not wednesday, but the whole week?
its cold. im starving and i just finished my eggs 40 minutes ago. gerren and i are SO OFF, we havent had a day off ALONE together since thanksgiving. im kind of broke, spent $100 more on groceries than usual, gas bill was $100 more than usual, and we have to pay our quarterly condo dues this month...it's only wednesday, i have no desire to be at work, i want to eat comfort food, sleep more, curl up on my couch and watch crappy tv shows like "24."
fruck. sorry to whine.

It has been a long week! Lately I've been really dragging myself through the weekdays just to get to the weekends, and it's never been this bad before. Grad school is sucking me dry, I'm just really hoping it gets better soon.
My house is a complete mess, I'm stressed out, and both of our families are pulling huge guilt trips on us for not being able to perform to their unreasonable expectations - even though I know it's not my/our fault, it still makes me feel crappy and like a bad sister/daughter/DIL.
Edit: Sorry, I'm really turning this thread into a woe-is-me fest.
Wednesday can suck it. Seriously.
Jeremy and I got into a HUGE fight last night that it just ruined the rest of the evening. His medicine (aderol) makes his go, go, go and I don't have ADD so I don't get any good stuff and when I get home from work, I want to read a good book or relax with some knitting. I do not want to have sex 24/7 or be groped/felt up constantly (sorry the TMI). I love that boy to death but geez louise. Am I weird? Isn't this still supposed to be the HM phase or something? I think it's mostly work stressing me out and March is going to be insane with 97837439 eligibilities and annual reviews due. AND while I'm still complaining, he didn't take Monday off work (supposed to ask for it off 10 days in advance and didn't) then he blamed me. Um no sir I've been telling you for a MONTH we're going to FL this weekend so shove it.
Ok. Sorry. /whine
Hope everyone's mid week starts to look up...
This week is dragging and it sucks!
I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling this way!
It needs to be Friday at 5pm already damn it!!!
I'm so bored at my job...its really bad. Everyone here knows that I don't have enough work and that I'm surfing online yet no one gives me anything to do! When i first started I begged for work and got tired of never being listened to. About 3 weeks ago I went to the branch manager and asked for more work because it was getting really bad not having anything to do, and with more work I asked for a raise - I do great work and everyone admits/sees that. I was told that he'd get w/ his boss to see what they could do for me and restructure my work load. Well, that hasn't happened...nothing hs happened. I'm so annoyed! Besides the fact that my boss's voice and laugh annoy the sh!t outta me, no one here has done anything for me. Just had to vent, sorry!!!!!
Geez...I'm so sorry you guys are having a rough week
I completed phase one of this new project I'm working on last night (two days ahead of schedule), so I'm feeling pretty good.
Today is my first day in the office. I worked from home mon and tues so I'm feeling fairly rested - even though I've been working my ass off. I only have to work tomorrow. Work from home/meetings on Friday so no rush hour commute. yay!
um...lemme see...I'm pissy cause the hubby somehow planned his work week so that he works from home the days I come into the office. I hate driving his car. Oh, my car is STILL broken so wait a minute.....argh, screw that!
Sweet, I'm on board with you guys now
p.s. my wedding vid is done. Just have to go pick it up. small mini yay

JenO--I would give it a week and then follow up with the manager you spoke to. Just send an email or stop by and say "I wanted to follow up on our conversation from such and such a day and see if there was any additional work I could be given." And from there, you can discuss the raise
i want a sandwich for lunch today. and in a bad way. and not my healthy 6 point WW sammie, but a huge mayo, grilled, chicken, cheese, veggies panini. yum.

I also feel like I am quickly losing interest in my job and I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to fix it. A couple of times lately I have come in tempted to give my two-week notice. I am in one of those phases where all I want to do is get KU and be a stay at home mom for awhile. The plan is, once I do get KU, I will quit my job and stay home with the baby. Then eventually, I will go back to work part time.
Sometimes I feel like I have the opposite problem with DH, where my libido is greater than his. Strangely, especially during my time of the month, which is the time of the month when he has no interest in it whatsoever. Some guys will deal with it, but he won't. It's like 5 days of torture for me. He and I have a healthy sex life but there is always room for imrovement,
yay to me not being the only one having a crappy week!!!
Shauni- I too want comfort food. To compromise I have a smart ones mac n chz meal for lunch. It's actually pretty good, and I didn't have time to make my recipe for WW mac n cheese, otherwise I'd be chowing on that!
Diablesse- Good job on gettin your project done early!!
Other notes, but I can't remember who said what so I can't personally reference you (sorry!!!):
I also DON'T want sex, etc. 24/7. Yes, I have boobs and yes they are rather large, but that doesn't mean they need to be felt up every other minute or just b/c I'm sitting next to you on the couch. And i REALLY don't want sex in the morning before I've had a chance to get a cup of coffee, or let alone, go pee.
I also worry when Hubby is gone. He doesn't travel a lot, but I worry if I'm driving home and hear of an accident that is on his route home. I usually call him right away to make sure he's ok. I think this is also due in large part to the fact that I think he is a TERRIBLE driver and could easily get in an accident.
Sorry about everyone who is having a hard time with work/jobs! Being un happy at work is a horrible feeling and terrible to deal with. I was like that at my last job. It made the days drag on and i was a B**ch when I got home. I enjoy my job that I have now, just stressed due to the state budget, etc.
don is always wanting to see or feel up on my boobs and it's so old now. sometimes it is funny though how he tries to bring it up or way he tries to touch them. he's started not shaving his face, but he won't let it grow out to a full beard either...so it's constantly at the rough stubbly stage and i can't stand it. last week i inforced a no booby rule for everyday that he doesn't shave. i thought it would work, but it hasn't yet.
i too think don's a bad driver and am constantly worried that he'll get into an accident. he drives for his job during the day which worries me even more. and i totally do what you do, if i hear of an accident i call to make sure he's ok if i know he's in that area. im always worried when i know he's left for home before i have and i see an accident on our route home that ill drive by and see his car on the side of the road.

H usually shaves once a week. Luckily, his beard grows rather quickly, so we have two days of no face and boobie contact. I have ridiculously sensitive skin and I'll end up looking like I got dragged across a carpet laying stomach down.
Re: wanting to see boobies: H gets up after me and will only start getting dressed after I take my t-shirt or cami off so he can see them. If I'm annoyed at him, I purposely turn away.
The Princess of Anything is Coming!
Had a dream I was queen.
Woke up. Still queen.
lol - i do the EXACT samething!
I'm glad it's Wednesday. Work is really draining. My boss has been slightly better, but by now, I'm just over it. It's been harder for me to fall asleep at night, so I wake up every morning exhausted.
The one bit of good news is that I'm finally getting the raw video footage of our wedding! Hopefully I can go pick up my Mac from my mom's place so I can start cutting it (although I have no desk...). I'm hoping I can cut at least one really awesome 5 minute segment to add to my reel so I can apply for jobs.
I'm thinking about freelance wedding video editing. Mostly so I can get out of this job, but also because I miss creative editing - my current job is way more technical and provides ZERO room for creativity. Come July, I'll have my best friend's wedding video to edit too! I'm really looking forward to that.
Ditto this! lol
Sorry for all the slappity crappity weeks going on out there. I hate when my weeks are mired in issues. Hang in there friends.
Last night I went to Target and ShopRite. I needed a bunch of essentials from Target, pricey ones too. Ouch. Then I needed very little from ShopRite and still spent $77. WTF. And I didn't get everything I really did need. Ay carumba.
I did the dreaded unloading and putting away of groceries, then I changed, made hard boiled eggs and tuna, and ate while watching 90210. Glee funked it up with Bieber. Grrrrrrrrrr. I hate Bieber.
I was in bed by 10, watched two episodes of The Big Bang Theory and was out like a light by 11. I slept soundly straight through until 7, and that was awesome.
My sinuses are freaking abysmal this year.
Major PITA project today that involves mail merge and sorting a zillion effing people out while I'm redesigning the piece itsefl. Not looking forward to it at ALL.
Ditto lol Ivan loves watching me get dressed in the morning so if I'm annoyed at him, I'll even go in the bathroom to change so he can't see me. He's always feeling up my boobs so it's definately punishment for him if he can't see them
It's 8:20 am and I already have a headache from being here at work. Ugh, this place stresses me out. I've also considered giving my two weeks notice and saying screw it!
I don't have the problem with Richard grabbing my boobs, but he's always grabbing my a$$. I mean always. He'll tell me bend over, or assume the position. I always roll my eyes and comply.
Sorry for the rough day ladies....hope it starts to get better soon.
This week has been pretty good. The weather is amazing. Seriously we had 40 yesterday and it is supposed to be a high of 49 today. The snow is melting which I am not quite ready for, but I know for our area winter is not over yet.
Tomorrow I am leaving for the weekend. My skaters are testing and competing this weekend so that is something to look forward to.
Ditto Diablesse and Stephanie - I'm sorry this week is stinking it up for so many. My week is going surprisingly smoothly. Hmm, that means the other foot is about to drop, right?
Moleson - there was an article in HuffPo about your governor, and that is crazy stuff! I'm a gov't worker as well, but in CA. We are also having massive budget problems ($25B deficit), and it's all pretty nuts here. Hope things get better there for you soon.

I'm still feeling blah because of stupid AF. But I have a half day tomorrow, yay and getting closer to getting out of this small apartment - even though we're staying with the IL for 2 weeks after it will be worth it. It's been raining all week and I guess tonight it's supposed to be the worst of the storm. And this rain business along with AF has made me so unmotivated to run....Shauni one of my snowboarding friends said it dumped 2 feet in Truckee and it's still not done yet
.
And add me to the bandwagon of wives who gets her butt slapped in public (which I hate when James does this, I think it's rude and uncalled for especially if there are other people around...I give him the look too when he does it). He's always wanting to touch boobies sometimes it's annoying, sometimes it's fine whatever. It's funnier when he gets co*k blocked by one of the cats...lol. One of the cats will hop onto the couch and want to snuggle.
Alicia - Tina is still sick? that bites.
IUI #1 10/12/11 (Bravelle + HCG + Prometrium & acupuncture) = 10/26 BFP! Beta #1=250, Beta #2= 615. 1st u/s 11/8.
Yup, 2 feet by today and another storm starts tomorrow dropping another 2-3 feet at LAKE LEVEL by friday. meaning at my old house there will probably be a total of 5-6 feet of fresh new snow on top of the 22 feet that they already had...

whenever i bend over at home and don's around he quick jumps behind me and humps me a few times...after all this time it still amuses him...MEN!
Men LOL. I can never walk up the stairs ahead of Ivan or he'll slap my butt for each step I go up. Mostly though, he's a boobs guy. If I wear anything that shows even a little bit of cleavage, he'll rub the spot that's showing and say "what are these?"
Hahaha. It's like they're teenage boys and have never felt an a$$ or boobs before.
He used to grab my butt in public but I quickly put a stop to that, I hated when he would do that in public.
This. I don't get it. Jeremy is totally an ass man and he loves to grab/slap/whatever my ass especially while I'm in the kitchen cooking. It drives me bonkers trying to cook and swat hands away lol
don will cup my butt w/ both hands and tell me that he HAS to help me walk up the stairs because i might fall...mmhmm
I hate groping for the most part. We're huggers or kissers, but not big gropers. And usually just in private, neither of us are PDA'ers.
