Monday Moans
What do you have to moan about today?
Lets see.....between Friday and Saturday alone I worked 25 hours (and got 3 hours of sleep). So, needless to say, im still exhausted. And this week doesnt look like it will be much better....hope it doesn't suck as much!!!!
I need a vacation...or better pay for what i do. Or both...both would work!

Please see my Friday Fruitcake post.
Other than that, I'm just sleepy today. And once again, we didn't file out taxes this weekend like we wanted to. Maybe we just need to suck it up and do it tonight....blah!
I only had one half day sub job last week. This week had been looking better as I was supposed to sub today (but it was cancelled); however I have three days at the end of the week in one of my favorite classrooms.
Also, in the past my mom and I would do my taxes by hand and then my parents' tax guy would just look them over. This year we were claiming the house credit and I had 5 or 6 W-2s and I didn't want to do them myself and mess it up. The tax guy who used to look them over won't take me on even though he knows us because he isn't "taking new clients". So H and I went to the guy who does his parents taxes. Luckily we had to paper file this year because when he sent us the paper work for us to sign and mail in to the IRS it listed my first name as Mary when my first name is Lisa (and my middle name starts with an N) so we have no idea where Mary came from. Luckily the attorney fixed it and mailed us a new copy but we are just grateful that it was not e-filed incorrectly. That would have been a bigger pain!
Hey guys,
DH decided to tell me the other day he doesn't want to move back to Indiana like he told me we were. he's been looking into either Virginia or Pennsylvania. So here i've been planning the move and my vacation before so we could find a place to move and I could interview for jobs and now everything has to change. I don't want to break the news to the family and friends.
Work still sucks too.
I'm sorry Deb!! Are you ok with not moving back to Indiana? If you are, then I say great and your family and friends will deal - what matters most is your happiness. But, if you're not ok with it, make sure you really talk it out with DH. Figure out why he is thinking VA or PA now instead of IN. Whatever you guys end up doing, the decision needs to be made together!
Kim, I hope you got some major OT/comp time for this weekend and that last night/today you are able to catch up on some much needed sleep!
Deb, I hope things work out for your move and with the new job search. I hope work gets better once you move.
Don't have many Monday Moans. We had an awesome weekend... including cleaning, pub crawl with our touch football team, and a bull roast for the foundation in honor of my cousin's foundation... great time with family and close friends. My cousin and his wife (who DH and I are very close with) came into town for the bull roast and stayed with us, and they announced they're pregnant! They've been married almost 8 years and have always been ambivalent about having kids so this is a huge huge excitement for us! It will kind of be like our little niece/nephew because we're very close. And cousin's pregnant wife asked if I would host/plan the baby shower so I am so stoked and excited about this- we'll have our new house by then!
The only moan I guess I have is that we were supposed to go to the beach this summer with my cousin and his wife. Well, now that they are expecting she cannot take vacation because she works for a small private company and isn't guaranteed maternity leave, so she needs to save up all her time. We may not be able to afford to go now, esp with buying a house. I'm sad because I already secured my vacation days... I might still go and stay with my grandparents (we were supposed to be renting the townhouse 2 doors down from them) but I know DH won't go because he refuses to stay at my grandparents beach house after we had a falling out with my grandfather (resolved now) 2 summers ago. Just sucks because I was really looking forward to us going as a family and taking puppy and spending a week at the beach together for our one year anniversary. I'm really hoping we can find another couple to go with us so we can still go.
I wish, but no to both questions. And that is why my job sucks.

My only moan today is for my poor aching legs.
DH and I played winter ball on Saturday. We won first place, but my legs are killing me now.
Winterball is basically baseball in the winter, but we use a broomball, which is bigger and softer than a baseball.

*hugs* to all! Sounds like we are all having a rough day/weekend/something.
Mine is that I was stupid enough to procrastinate this paper, and now I just want to sleep, because I finally got a day off. Also, because I took today off, I have to work extra hours Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and have no time to have a spring "break". Rawr.
I would have had moans this morning... but my Monday work day is basically over! I lasted about 30 minutes into my 2 hour (really 90 min) lecture before I started coughing... and I didn't completely lose my train of thought this week like I did last week. Before last week, the most I had ever given a talk to was about 75 people, give or take 20. Speaking to 200 students, in a lecture hall, with my entire department present to witness my first lecture... was INTIMIDATING!!! I still forget details once I start to talk, but I've been told the more times I give the lectures, the more details I'll remember to say (luckily they are in the lecture notes). Today was much smoother, despite the coughing.
I get to go to my first sewing class (work sponsored, also taking knitting!), then might go to Ikea, then go home and watch mindless TV and do nothing for the first time in about a month! DH is out of town for work til Wednesday, so I think I will watch a chick flick tonight!
Val-it gets better, hang in there! I had it all day too, especially when I smelled certain things, it just made me crazy...I couldn't go places where there was food because the smell might bother me!
My Monday moan is more about tomorrow...I start my new Master's program which means right after teaching all day, I have to head to class until 8:45 ugh. I'm going to have to eat and use the rest room several times during the 4 hour long class and I'm just dreading it so much. Everything just seems so much harder to do being pregnant!

I know Im late but here is my monday moan-
the fact that it's monday and I had to work
I also had to take my 3 hour glucose test and get blood taken 4 times this morning...not much fun, so Im hoping the results come out that I dont have gestational diabetes.
