F*ck you, Tuesday
I hate tuesdays with a fiery passion. Lamest day of the week fo'sho.
Hurt my foot running last night, hopefully I can run today. Otherwise I will be kayaking for exercise, and I would just rather run. Although the plus side to kayaking is getting a tan on my arms and face...
And that is literally all that is going on in my life. My nose is peeling from using so many tissues from my allergies. Exciting, right?
Re: F*ck you, Tuesday
Word, dude. Tuesdays blow. Allergies too.
I'm pissed at my job right now and daydreaming (again) about quitting and traveling for a prolonged period of time. I wish I could come home some day to find a ginormous trunk full of money on the porch...
You do whitewater or flat water kayaking, Shauni?
It's like you're inside my mind. DH is working from home today - I don't think he understands just how frustrating it is that he can do that.
I have to try and get out of my office, soon. White Collar is filming just BLOCKS from my office - and someone said there are at least 2 actors already there. It's just far enough away that I can really only get out once. *Maybe* twice. Maybe I'll take an early and long lunch break.....
Now I feel like going kayaking.
I feel the need, the need, for speed. I love Top Gun. The Goose Death Scene makes me bawl every time. I am not sure why I have Top Gun on the brain this morning.
ANYHOO...hello friends. I have been MIA since last Wednesday I think. I hope you're all well and that I didn't miss any large marge news.
sunshine, i want a pile of money too. so i can travel and explore and relax. and then build my dream house. i want a month long beach vacation so badly right now. not fair.
we flatwater kayak. i am not extreme at all. we are going white water rafting later this month for the first time and i am really nervous! do you kayak?

I'll agree that Tuesday's normally blow. This week not so much since it's kinda like my Friday. Work is closed tomorrow and wed
I have no plans for said days off it will be nice not having to get out of bed in the AM.
I have really nothing else to add I feel like I am becoming a boring person. Who doesn't really get out much.
Today was the first time in I don't even know how long that I left for work w/o giving J a hug or kiss goodbye. That's how pissed I am at him. If he was a roommate, i would have kicked his a$$ out a long time ago.
This week, (starting tonight), I have decided he's on his own. I am only going to cook for myself, do my own laundry, do my own dishes (that is, if I don't leave them all over the house), leave my dirty clothes everywhere, make ONLY my lunch, and then I'm going to complain about it all too. If I was ballsy enough I would shave my head and leave the hair on the bathroom floor too. (ok, he does sweep, but he never gets it all. And if you're sweeping, why not just go ahead and sweep the entire bathroom, not just the little area you are standing in which you think is the only place you think the hair gets.)
wowza, sorry for the rant. i'm pissed and annoyed.
Tuesdays do suck. Don't know why everybody is always so darn worried about Mondays.
Last night we all had a late bedtime thanks to a beautiful tornado warning. A couple funnel clouds were above the highschool and golf course in the town between my parents and I and then there was one that touched down 9 miles north of me. At our house it was just a normal windy spring storm.
I have a lunch date today and that's about it. Good day.
Shauni - I would take kayaking over running for exercise any day! I really want to go kayaking now!
I agree. F*ck today. I managed to smash the mirror on the rover. I'm still not used to driving such a huge car and I was trying to squeeze through a space too small, going too fast, in rush hour traffic.
I feel awful.
TTC since 2010
Me: 36, slightly elevated FSH. Everything else (hysterescopy, HSG, b/w) normal.
DH:30, with super sperm? >200mil post wash
BFP #1 - May 2011 - m/c @ 8weeks
IUI #1 - July 26 2012 - Femara = BFN
Suprise BFP Jan 15 2013. Hope this one sticks!
*sigh* Get pics! We'll have to catch up tomorrow after the premiere.
So frustrated with K at the moment. I know that we need to adjust to being a family instead of just a couple, but it irritates me that he seems like he'd rather be working on a million different projects (building the shed, fixing the truck, etc, etc, etc) than helping to take care of the baby. I understand that he's little and not really 'doing' anything yet, but you don't want to help with bath time or bed time - ie, the things you 'can' do since I'm nursing. You think I'm an idiot for reading to him at this age because 'he can't understand any of it.' I get virtually all the middle-of-the-night shifts because you're working right now and I'm not (which I'm okay with for now - so long as it doesn't continue when I go back to work). You wanted this baby, now show some damn interest. If I'm gonna be a single parent then you can do your own f'n laundry and cooking and dishes.
/rant.
So, for everyone having a sh!tty day, here's a happy pic from yesterday to bring up your spirits...
Awe Susie he is so cute!
TN ate my reply...fabulous.
I am home alone today and completely off! DH is traveling with his managing editor and publisher to accept an award he got for a piece he wrote in the fall. I am staying home to catch up on sleep, cleaning and laundry.
I finished planting our big garden yesterday and we had a thunder storm last night, grow plants grow!
Shauni, I am right there with you. My right knee is killing me and there is absolutely no way I can push through it to run.
This made my day better, thanks for sharing. Such a cutie patootie!!
We used to whitewater kayak when we first started dating. Then I almost drowned and K had to save my life (literally) and I haven't been much since then. He keeps saying we should get back in our kayaks, but the river's been really flooded and I'm still a bit hesitant over the whole thing. It is good exercise, though...
Susie - little babyQ is too cute! How could K not want to spend every waking second with him?!
I agree, Tuesdays suck.
Susie- He's adorable.
You have every right to be pissed. We are wives and partners, not maids or chefs. I have been there and still am every once in a while. Strike as long as you can stand it, girlfriend.
Susie - wah, worst fear of possibly having a baby - having to be the 95% caregiver. I can't do it. Hang in there. He is super cute! And FWIW, I think babies should be read to from day one. Good work Mama!
Alicia - ouch! That sucks. I'm glad you're ok though.
such a cutie.
Your b*tching about the hubby not pulling his weight makes me nervous though. I just KNOW I'll have the same problem.

cuuuuuuute baby!
I slept like shiit. Still sore from the 2+-hour tennis marathon on Sunday, plus people moved in to the upstairs apartment last night. They were banging around until about 11, so not too bad, but then still walking around a bit which is still very loud with our super-creaky ceilings. And then they were back at it again starting at FIVE AM. I wanted to die. I think they were trying to get some move-in time before work, or something, because they stopped around 8. Blah. Hopefully these are unusual hours for them, and moving furniture will not be a normal occurrence. They can't be worse than our previous neighbors, who ran around all freaking night slamming doors/drawers/cabinets, but I have lost my tolerance for the noise since they've been gone (6 months).
I agree with this Susie. Greg has even said he doesn't want to take care of babyX till he is able to do things. I think they get scared they will hurt them .
in our 5 years together, this has been our biggest fights. At one point, we had a chore chart b/c I was planning our wedding and working on my MBA and still doing EVERYTHING around the house. I had it.
I have a feeling things are going to be ugly when i get home tonight. But i guess that will make making up later that much better.
Today at work = complete lamesauce. as was the ride home since I had a chiropractor appointment (yay for that).
That is all since half of you are asleep now and the other half probably won't read this
