Monday Moans
My weekend....SUCKED.
But thank god i didnt get paged last night at all. I went to sleep at 6pm and didnt wake until 6am today, though i really feel like i could have slept another 12 hours. That's what I get for sleeping 3-4 hours each night because having to be up for work and then crying for most of the day yesterday when I wasn't working because i miss my dad.
And...Cancer sucks. I wish my Dad was still here.

After 3 months of running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, my insane schedule has finally caught up with me, and I'm sick. I have a doctor's appointment today at 3:30 and I'm at school right now but all I want to do is go home and go back to bed.
I'm also tired of all of our family members telling us what to do and what not to do with the new house. I feel like our parents are spending all of our money and I'm sick and tired of saying, "That's something we'll have to consider." I feel like it's the effing wedding all over again!
I also don't know how to handle the paint in the living room. It's a high ranch, and there's a faux finish in the entire upstairs, with the entranceway being darker than the rest of the faux. I actually really like it in the entrance way, but I'm scared to try to pull a color out of the faux to paint in the rest of the upstairs because I'm afraid it will look like crap.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
My moan is that it's Monday. We moved this weekend and while the move itself was pretty quick and smooth - the unpacking process is still going on - which is frustrating for me because I don't do well with chaos/clutter/mess. The spare bedroom/office/closet is a disaster. Hopefully DH can get a lot of it cleared out today - especially since most of it is his clothes that need to be put away!
I also hate how much money you spend after a move. Granted we've really only spent $100 so far on stuff (most of which was spent on a new microwave) it's still annoying because it just feels like money is flying out the door.
Oh - and I'm getting bpics done on Sunday and I haven't even thought about outfits - nor do I remotely feel in shape/sexy.
Lauren, i've seen you in person now, so I'm allowed to say, you are GORGEOUS. You will absolutely look sexy and in-shape and you should feel it too!

Kim- *hugs* Sorry you had such a rough couple of days.
I feel like this ^ happens anytime there is a major life change. Houses, babies, cars, moving.....you name it, parents can drive you nuts about it. Hope it gets better for you soon!
My moan is that I woke up with a headache and while I'm glad its my last 12hour day of working + class, I also know the headache is from the weather and won't go away until this rain does (low pressure triggers migraines for me). I can only take Tylenol, which is useless, and no matter how many times I bring it up, my OBs won't give me an Rx for some of the pregnancy-safe migraine meds without seeing a neurologist (which is expensive and I'm kind of at my tolerance limit for doctors right now, thanks to my body being repeatedly insufficient).
It's Monday and I have been awake since 3:45 am b/c I was too hot, so I opened a window, and then the birds were loud, and then the thunderstorms started. I think DH and I are going to have thermostat wars... he turned it back up after I went to sleep... so it was just stale gross dead air last night. I don't want to go to work today either.... b/c both of my umbrellas are at work!! And I know I will have to park far away b/c there are more students there today than there were Friday.
I finally checked the mail yesterday (We usually only check once a week because we forget). I received a bill for the ambulance ride $670.82. insurance does not pay for it. We're trying to save as much as we can before me move. This is not helping. Nor do I like spending huge amounts of money. I always fear i'll be broke tomorrow. I'm thinking i might actually have to pick up more shifts at work. ugh. this sucks.
I keep having major brain farts with my camera. I keep trying to set up pictures and everything keeps getting washed out. I'm just too ditsy lately.
Aw. Thank you Kim!!!!!!
I'm tired and crabby this morning because I couldn't sleep last night. I went to bed around 1 am, was wide awake and H was snoring...grr.
I'm off to work, and I don't feel like it.
I'm bummed out about our anniversary (which is two weeks from yesterday) and we have no plan, I don't know what to get H and I'm just a little annoyed about the whole thing.
I said the other day, why don't we just head towards the beach on Friday when you get off work and we'll go from there? And he said that was great. Then I mentioned something yesterday and he's like....I don't know, that's a lot of money....to drive? And stay in a cheap hotel room we find on the way? Ummm no. He just bought a $200 graphics card and wants a $100 pair of running shoes. He can shut up and go to the ocean with me.
RARR!
And I'm PMSing.
my moan is that the hubs is away for a week...again. And that as of right now he's going to be missing the big ultrasound I have in a few weeks...stupid Army!
My FIL is a horrible gift giver. I know, flame away. We should be thankful for any gift we receive. And I would be thankful, if what he gave wasn't crap.
For example..at christmas, DH paid for FILs "trophy buck" to be mounted. No cheap gift at over $500! What did we get. 25 trailer hitch covers in the shape of black lab heads and shotgun shells that we ended up throwing away. I would rather give a gift and get nothing in return than this crap.
DH's birthday is in a few weeks and he has his eye on an professional camera that he can use for work (law enforcement) and also on our travels. He mentioned to me and his dad that if we wanted to give him a gift, he'd really appreciate either money towards or attachments for the camera. At an awards ceremony last week, FIL whispered to me that he bought DH a camera for his b-day. I messaged him to find out exactly what kind so that I could buy the appropriate attachments (lenses/flashes/etc) and FIL says "Oh, it's one I've had for 10 years sitting in a box but that I don't like." But really he just bought it off e-bay. So basically he's giving us an out-of-date, junk camera....which DH doesn't want and will throw away when he buys himself the real camera he wants. Grrr.
Today is my last day of school!!!!! wahoo for summer!... except I have to drive back for graduation tonight and the school I work at is 35 minutes away... and graduation starts at 8pm!!!
This is barely a monday moan, since the fact that it is the last day of school for two months and I am actually jumping for joy!!
My moan is that my parents had to put our black lab, Bubba, down today. He was just getting so old, and couldn't get around even on pain medication. It was so sad to see him try and walk on anything remotely slippery. I know it's better that he's out of pain, but he was such a sweet dog, and I feel bad that we couldn't take care of him anymore. :-(
And its raining. And it's probably going to rain all week.
my read shelf:
Preach it girl! Haha I feel like it's flying in from every direction.
My main moan is my MIL is starting to drive me crazy. She is constantly asking how "her" baby is doing, telling me to feed "her" baby, make sure I'm taking care of "her" baby. She is not the one who is pregnant!!!!!!! This is MY baby and MY HUSBAND'S baby. Not hers! Arrrghh. Her daughter already has a little boy - that is "her" baby, too. I know she will want to have our baby all the time, and I already feel nervous about it. Granny is overweight and diabetic and MIL is pretty much on the verge of being diabetic. Her eating habtis are atrocious and I honestly don't trust her to feed a little child healthy meals. There's no way she would listen even if I got the guts to tell her what my child was allowed to eat.
I know it's way in the future, but we went out to lunch with her and our little nephew Sunday and I can't get what she fed the little guy out of my head.
Sorry for the rant.
