Manic Monday!

Morning ladies!  Hope everyone had a great weekend!  I would love to say I was productive, but honestly it was a chill wknd, just running some errands with my mom while my parents were here.  I did get 2 things spray painted yesterday morning before the wind picked up.  Poor DH, I'm sort of changing around our entire entry/family room look to lighter and brighter so I'm a bit spray paint happy.

They're saying now that the Republicans may be up for a short extension until they pass the budget, so I'm hoping come Friday we're not furloughed.  There is a chance I'll be considered essential, which I'm ok with.

Have a great day!

ETA: Just talked to my boss since I was out Thurs and Fri and he and I will be essential for our team.

Re: Manic Monday!

  • Good morning!!

    I made my first decent meal this weekend in a very long time and it included slicing lots of chicken, that one meal made me feel super productive.  Otherwise I laid around waiting ror Pocket Pookums to move.

  • Morning ladies! I've got back to back meetings all morning, but then I'm free for the afternoon. Which is great, because I'm exhausted! We had a huge thunderstorm and I couldn't fall asleep. It literally felt like our house was going to shake apart. Drew and Loki slept through it just fine.

    We were suppose to get a thunderstorm and I don't think every did, I was so excited for nothing, even though I guess it's a good thing because Lilly would have been a mess.

    Between the thunder and lightning and my two guys snoring, thre was no hope for a restful night. I'm thinking a post-work nap is in order.

    I agree. Hope your meetings go by quickly.

  • I think we're supposed to get the storms tonight.  I hope it's not too bad, Sadie doesn't always do well with them, I guess it will depend on how tired she is.
  • Morning ladies!!! I had a great weekend.  We were in Buffalo to celebrate DH's bday.  We had a nice time with his friends Sat night and a wonderful dinner on Sunday with IL's.  I ate so much food this weekend. 

    DH's parents also gave us an amazing gift, they are giving us part of their inheritence they received from DH's grandfather.  So amazing.  It came at just the right time.  We just found out on Fri, that we will have to get a new car(mine is not long destined for this world).  But most of all this will help us get CC debt free!  We can actually start saving now for a house.  We still have to wait for jobs but we can start saving now.  Amazing.  I couldn't express to them the appreciation I have for this gift.

    So today I'm starting the car shopping.  Ugh I knew it was coming, but it's hard to let go of the car that I've had for 8yrs now.

    Yay! That is awesome. Goodluck with car shopping.

  • Today is such a BLAH day.  We have been getting rain/storms since early yesterday morning.  Flooding has already started.  I have a headache, my boobs hurt and I got a BFN this morning.  I want to go back to bed.  Monday, you suckass.

  • Hi! We got back from Aruba last night a little after 1. I stayed up to do a couple loads of laundry since I start tutoring this week until 8:30 every night. I was trying to get ahead, but I am exhausted today. This is a big week here for my school district since we will find out what our budget looks like and what programs/positions will be cut. I am safe, but it will still stink to lose people. I'm not planning on my summer school position either...hence the long hours of tutoring to make up that difference.
