Re: Random Tuesday

  • I'm here, working from home. So, I'm doing some work and in between trying to straighten up my house, and stressing about all the stuff we have to do before we leave for our trip. The list just keeps growing! And, my SIL is going to stay in our house while we're gone b/c she's separating from her husband and is currently living with my FIL. So, it's mutually beneficial, since our house won't sit empty for 3.5 weeks, and she can have some personal space. However, now I feel like I need to clean my house from top to bottom before we leave.

    How are you feeling, Laura?

    I completely feel your pain on this. I leave today - DH tomorrow and we're back Sat. It's not a long trip but our cat is so old that we decided we need to have someone stay with him. So last night I was running around like a maniac to get my house clean..... It sucked.....

  • I'm in and out. A is off so we are going to be running a few errands. I think he is going to paint one of the accent walls today. We have shelves to hang, pictures to put up, and make another Goodwill run with more donations. We went on a shopping spree yesterday so we got rid of a bunch of old stuff. We also are going to check out 2 gyms in our area and hopefully decide which one we want to join.

  • I am here at work. Trying to get some stuff done. I work so much better under pressure (ie busy season). When it isn't super busy I just keeps saying I still have time I am not that busy. By no means am I looking forward to busy season though.... big BLAH to that :)

  • I'm here at work.  My Principal popped in for about 2 minutes and then they called her to go into a meeting at our central office.  Sooo now I'm back to being bored and alone.  I'm feeling pretty okay.  Ready to go home though. 

    I'm jealous of your travels even if it seems stressful.  I can't wait until we go to California.  We are officially a month out and I hope it comes soon.  I felt bad because last night driving  home E was telling me how he is just exhausted from work.  In Texas we average 12.5 days in triple digits, so far this year we are above that and today is just the start of Summer.  He works in and out of the heat all day and by the time he gets home he just wants to lay on the couch for the remainder of the evening.  I'm really hoping this vacation brings him some sort of relaxation.

  • I'm around, on and off. It's the first week of summer vacation for me, but we also just moved in with my parents for the month since the new place isn't ready yet. So I'm unpacking things around here and still trying to get settled in. I've got two online classes that I should be checking in on, but can't bring myself to work yet.

    I could have written this myself! We don't have a traditional busy season like you're referring to, though there are times of the year that are typically busier than others. I am just so much more productive when there's tons to do.

    The stress will definitely be worth it, it's just a matter of getting there! I still can't believe we were able to pull this off, and are actually going on this huge trip! 

    Poor E! I cannot imagine working outside in that heat, no wonder he's exhausted! Hopefully the weather in CA will be more mild, and give you guys a little break!

  • I'm around. Not going in to work today because Dexter is in surgery and I need to be in town to make decisions / pick him up / etc. He was brave boy for the vet, but we had to carry him as much as possible because he won't put weight on his foot if he doesn't have to. Getting in and out of the car was an adventure. So was going potty.... He finally got it and squatted like a girl after numerous attempts to stand on only 1 front and 1 back leg...

    Poor Dexter!!  I hope the surgery goes well and major props to you for being such a good Mom!  I can only imagine how your little self must look carrying a big ol dog like him. (Hope that made you smile!)

    ha, especially because he doesn't like David to carry him, only me! Most of it is a funny half hold, letting him walk on his back feet only. HA. Once we got inside the vet, he did let me carry him upright (his front feet on my shoulders, kinda hugging me, and me holding his lower half) and all the vet assistants thought it was adorable. While I shuffled around with his 55 lbs lol

    David felt so helpless, but Dexter just tries to jump out of his arms, so that was a no- go

  • I'm here now, I had to go to the dentist this morning because I thought one of my fillings came out while we were in Germany, but it turns out there was just an air bubble in the filling and that's what I bit down on and it popped and that caused the pain. It's all fixed now. I'm having a lot of stress lately worrying about my surgery next month, especially with Tony gone. I saw my OB/GYN on Friday and we're moving forward, but I can't help worrying on what she's going to find when she finally does the surgery since I've been delaying it for so long, and so it leads to me surfing the Internet and Nest/Bump boards on the success of TTC with endo and worries me of how long of a journey this is going to be when we finally start trying when Tony comes home and what's going to happen since the Navy always seems to have a way to mess things up and take my husband away. Add this to my list of thousand things I've got on my plate right now and am worrying about...

    Sorry for the vent!

    Cole - sending Dex lots of vibes that everything goes well with his surgery and he has a quick recovery!

  • Hi girls! Just wanted to say Hi... I was done teaching on Thursday and now am kind of twiddling my thumbs. I want to do my checkout procedure but since our last day isn't until THIS Thursday, most of the office/admin staff aren't ready for checkout... so I am already starting to think about my syllabus and everything for next year, lol....

    Poor Dexter... such a sweetie pie... it's so hard to see our furbabies in pain.

    Yvonne... hang in there. :)
