    I keep having inappropriate dreams about a local Dj. Indifferent

    Melinda, I know you'd get a kick out of that one.

    I cannot accept this!!!  :)

    AW: I got engaged this weekend...

    Confession: I'm not getting anything done today because of of the previous issue. 

    Aww...congrats!  Details?!

    Confession: I overheard my co-worker crying to someone on the phone a bit ago, and I asked her if she was okay, and she said yes.  She didn't seem like she wanted to talk about it, so I dropped it, no biggie. Then I just overheard her on the phone again saying her husband wants a divorce. :(  She's been married for like 25-30 years, and I feel really bad.  I feel bad that I heard, but she talks kind of loud and we share a wall....

    Vent: I am so sick of my job.  I hate the fact that I spend the majority of my time at a place that I don't want to be.  I dread Monday mornings, and the past few Mondays when I drop Carly at off at daycare she cries and reaches for me when I leave which makes it a billion times worse! I need to find alternative way to make money ASAP!

  • Lisa - congratulations!

    Melinda, congratulations to you too. I vote a dino-themed wedding.

  • vent = our house STINKS and i cannot figure out where it's coming from. one of the cats has peed somewhere and i can't find it. i've scanned what feels like every square foot with the black light and sniffed around on my hands and knees and i can't find it. i kind of hate all our animals right now. one of our dogs peed in the house on saturday 2 hours after having been out. i'm just sick of them all and *flame away* wish they would die or run away. i already told lars that we are NOT REPLACING any animals when these ones die. i want a clean house and i don't want to spend hours each week cleaning cat vomit and dog/cat pee.

    confession = my former best friend got married on saturday and i have very mixed feelings about it. i have a lot of catty comments i want to say but at the same time, she WAS my best friend so i do want her to be happy. i just wish sh!t hadn't gone down how it did. *shrug*

    AW = i did my first photoshoot on friday morning (at 5am! i had to get up at 3:45!!!) and i have another one tomorrow at 6am. i'm not directing them yet but it's fun to be involved. i'm eager to jump in with upcoming shows. loving my new job!

    Lisa - congratulations!

    Melinda, congratulations to you too. I vote a dino-themed wedding. 

    Thumbs up to both!  Big Smile

    Lisa - nice to see you on here again.  I miss some of the knotties/nesties from our era.... 

  • Congrats Melinda and Lisa!!!

     

    AW: My only bright light right now is that Ellie is learning new things and picking up on everything lately.  She keeps me laughing with her antics.

    We also get to find out the sex of #2 tomorrow.  Can't wait! 

    Vent: Everything else though is one big suck fest.  

    DH's grandpa (our only one left;DH's paternal grandpa died in Feb and my grandpa died in April) was diagnosed with full bladder cancer and a possible lung cancer last week.

    On Wednesday DH's boss called and told him that he is broke and closing the company ASAP.  So now DH is unemployed again.  I'm so pissed.  Every plan we had for catching up from his previous unemployment is blown.  I can't even cry anymore, I'm just numb.

    Vent:  I started classes for my reading licensure at the U today and I feel completely overwhelmed.  It's only a two week course, so it should be intensive, but I feel like it's a bit overboard.  Apparently all I will be doing is eating/breathing this class.

    Intense. FWIW I learned more about teaching in my reading licensure courses than I did in all of my undergrad/graduate schooling combined, I hope you find it as valuable as I did.

    Yes, intense Smile  I think that it will be invaluable information, but 2pg. reflections each night for 10 days and 3-4pg. papers/week feels a bit much for a two week class, but then I have to remind myself that I am earning 3 credits, so it should be like this.  I also get to be completely done for the summer once next week is over so I really shouldn't be complaining...

    I have a vent.

     

     

    I just saw a former coworker in the hallway and we ended up riding the elevator together. As she was getting out, she asked "any children on the way"... uhm, nope. I'm just fat. Thanks for asking though.

    I am sure she could have meant "do you have any kids?" but I'm fb friends with her, she would've known if I had kids. I'd be posting picture of them for cryin' out loud.

    I know I'm sensitive to those comments but it still doesn't make it feel any better. Granted, it's been 3yrs since she's seen me in person, but still...

    She's the second former coworker to insinuate that. WTF people. I'm really going to try and not let it ruin my mood but it's really hard not to. Makes me want to never wear this top that I'm wearing, again. Which will only cause my wardrobe to be that much smaller and makes things that much harder in the mornings.

    /vent

    I'm sorry, that is a bummer that people make rude comments.  Hopefully your evening will be better than your day was.

    AW - I'm expecting (for those who know me as I know I've not been on for ages) again... 

    Vent/confession - My morning sickness decided to come and pay me a visit again and if you remember from my first pregnancy, this was not a pleasant experience and  I am really dreading this. I keep having those anxiety feelings that I may be in the hospital again. I also am thinking why am I stupid enough to put myself through this misery again? I just hafta think the end result will be worth it and if everything goes well with the pregnancy, this will be my last one.. 

    If you are a friend of mine on FB, HUSH as the news is not shared with others yet :)  

    Congrats! I hope your morning sickness gets better!
