What's Up Wednesday?!!
I am torn between really praying to Mother Nature that it rains on Sunday morning and telling her to go f* herself if she wakes me up with storms in the middle of the night ONE. MORE. TIME. this week.
Needless to say, I need a caffeine IV today.
On the up-side, the scale says I've lost 6 lbs. since I actually started trying to lose weight. It's been a really big struggle to get the scale to budge lately, so I'm pretty excited about that.
On the downhill side of the week - tonight we have no plans and I know I will probably be in bed by 8:30pm. Tomorrow - we'll hit the zoo for the last April concert if the weather is decent. Friday - nothing on the calendar right now.
Re: What's Up Wednesday?!!
Went to bed nice and early last night and played with the puppy. DH is coming home tonight from a business trip, miss him so!
Boot camp tonight, if my cramps are not too terrible.
My mom is coming in to the Drs office I work at today and I am super nervous for people to meet her, because she has a rough exterior to put it nicely and she is not known for being the nicest person. Blah.
I am beyond tired & sick of all of this rain! I get woken up AGAIN last night b/c it was pounding on the roof above our bedroom. It also makes my work day even more hectic. Rain please go away!! It looks like Friday & Saturday are both supposed to be pretty darn nice, so I'm def looking forward to that!
I had to get up extra early this morning b/c I had an early meeting. I can already feel that not working in my favor.
Tonight my family gets free dinner; my dad threw his business card in at a restaurant and he won so that will be nice.
When I get home & get settled later tonight, I'm prob going to crash early. Friday at 5pm can't get here soon enough! I haven't had a day off in months! I think that I'm going to try and take a longish weekend when H is done w/ school for the quarter so we can unwind & take a short trip. We haven't had a vacation since our hm in 10/09 and before that it was close to 3 years. Its long overdue!
I totally get this - except I have a slightly different issue. My mother & I do NOT get along - or even speak for that matter. But when we run into each other in public at family functions we're...civil, you could even describe it as clinical or professional. Like greeting someone you don't like at a professional conference. So needless to say, my H & close friends have heard a lot of "bad mom" stories from me. I'm always horribly nervous when people meet her for the first time b/c she comes across as being the nicest & most charming person ever - and then it looks like I'm nuts. I end up being all "No - she's different in a private setting! Really!"
AHH...this rain is making me crazy. Make me just wanna stay in bed and sleep! My aunt is flying in tomorrow and I hope its not too bumpy for her!
Dr's appt went well yesterday. Baby is doing good. Hopefully I don't hear anything abt GD. Only hear if I failed
Keeping my fingers crossed for that!
We loved the in home day care facility we talked to last nite! One more thing checked off the list!
Hope everyone has a great Hump Day!
I can't stand the rain anymore! I am hoping that this means we'll have a beautiful May!
Tomorrow and appraiser is coming to look at the house so that XH can try to refinance it into his name and I can move out, yay! Keeping up with a 2500 square foot house is not an easy task, especially when I spend no time there! I am sick of paying half the mortgage and never being there and I am sure he feels the same way. Crossing my fingers that the appraisal comes back good and I can finally move on!!
On the flip side, my BF and I are planning a lake trip for a weekend in May. I am super excited and looking forward to visiting a different lake. We go to the same place every year so it will be nice to see something else.
This has been a frustrating week so far! I've had to make 5 phone calls to sirius customer service and killed well over an hour's worth of cell phone minutes, only to be told to take the thing to best buy and have them look at it. Arrgh. And I'm driving hundreds of miles without my satellite radio. Big frowny face!!!
Also on the frowny face front....my boss sent out a memo "reiterating" a long-standing policy that is SO not even the way that I was trained to do things, and the way that everyone does things. So basically it's a change disguised as a "no, we should've been doing it this way all along" (annoyance #1) and it's a change that does NOT work in my favor - it makes things harder for me and leads to a dock in mileage reimbursement (annoyances 2 and 3!)
The good things: I got these new sandals from Target (champion c9 sport thongs) that are both adorable and amazingly comfortable. I had to finally admit that the flip-flops were not so good for my injured self. The other good news: I found haagen-dasz individual servings of ice cream for .40 at walgreens and treated myself to one, and then stopped in the office where they have easter candy and PEEPS!!! So I'm turning my frustrations into a sugar high. Not healthy, but I rarely stress-eat and I'm allowing it today!!!
I've been MIA so sorry to burst in, but CONGRATS! That's awesome!
I would love to be a foster parent, but H isn't completely on board.
Are we sisters? You just explained my mother to a T.
