B&M Tuesday
I don't think we did this Monday.
I'm completely burnt out. I've cried the last two mornings when my alarm went off because I honestly don't want to get up and face the day. Between people getting sick/hurt, work being crazy, parties and M's CFA exam I've been running around/doing too much for too long and I can't handle it anymore.
I think I was way too easy on M when he was studying for the test. I picked up pretty much everything around the house so he'd have the time he needed to study. Now, he's acting like it's killing him to take chores back. I'm refusing to do everything so stuff just isn't getting done.
And, he was supposed to have off next month for my little's wedding and in August so we could go up to Niagara Falls. His boss forgot she okay'd them both and now says he can't take either because they're going to be too busy. Instead of trying to push back, he wants to do vacation the one week our friends are going away and we had said we'd watch their house. I told him I thought that was sort of shitty to do to our friends and he got all pissy.
And my Dad thinks part of the roof was done wrong, so I had to call the roofer about that yesterday and am waiting to hear back. If he's right, it means we'll have to take off part of the roof and re-do it again.
I really just can't handle it all.
Re: B&M Tuesday
Today is Tuesday my dear
(HUGS) to you. I think you need a spa day and a tub of ice cream!
Damn. I thought I'd made it halfway through the week.

UGHHHH!!!!
I feel your pain Kate.
My B&M is that I leave this afternoon for NYC for my sister's wedding weekend. And while I am exstatic and I know it'll be fun - I also know it'll be super expensive and it's stressing me out BIG time.... I HATE worrying about money.
Also - I've been running around like a maniac trying to get everything I'll need packed and get everything in order....
I'm sort of ready for it to be over. It's feeling like my wedding again with all the crazy commotion!
I want my last week to prep for baby! and I might not get it if my BP and/or protein levels are up today :-(
My stomach hurts, but I think it is just nerves. I'm at the freak-out point of 'oh crap, this is really happening! can I do this?"
That sucks, Kate. I feel your pain.
S works the following schedule: 4:30-6:30 at home (so I can shower at 6:30 before he leave and Anders is up), 7-4 at the office, and 7-10 or later at home at night. He has done this for about 9 months now and it is killing our family. He has recently become very under appreciated, and is projected for the summer to have 300% utilization, which is 120 hours/week of work. He also just had 1 member of his team quit, and they gave S all of his projects. He's screwed.
Oh yeah, and they are wanting to send him to Dubai for the MONTH of October.
I'm fried and I would love to see my husband at some point during the week.
Lots of stress-free vibes Kate! I'm sure that if you talk to Mark he'll pick up the slack again.
That really sucks Kate. Sounds like you need a nice relaxing spa day while M cleans the house.
I feel you on the stress level.
*hugs*

Hugs to all of you feeling stressed!
My B&M is that we are throwing a bridal shower this coming Sunday (myself and the other bridesmaids in my friends wedding) and my friends sister (and maid of honor...) is such a b*tch! She has done pretty much nothing for this shower, except complain to THE BRIDE that we are making it "too fancy" because we want things to match and we care about having nice decorations, etc. Why would you ever do that??!
