Monday Moans
Even though i'm off pager this week, it's still going to be like the same amount of work. They just keep piling it on like i'm 5 people at genius level with crazy due dates and i'm getting burnt out. Then they tell me to prioritize and delegate tasks but they dont tell me what im allowed to push off my plate because everything is critical and they want ME to do all the work because im the team lead here so im like the senior person. It's literally going to kill me.
Can i just please win the lottery? A few hundred thousand isn't much to ask for!!!

Re: Monday Moans
Ugh Kim - I keep wishing that you'll be able to find a new job - yours always sounds so dreadful.
I don't have too many moans really. Right now, my biggest moan is that the shirt I'm wearing is wicked tight around my ribcage and it's making my back hurt! haha....random I know. It's a half button shirt with a belt around the waist. The belt isn't that tight - I just think it's the shirt. I just washed it so I'm hoping it just needs to be stretched out a little bit. My mid back is on fire right now!
Hmm...also - I'm annoyed that the a/c we bought doesn't always kick into a/c mode. Like it blows cool air, but then doesn't always blow super cold air like it should be. We bought it off craigslist so I suppose that's the risk we take since it's not new. I'm hoping we can do something simple to it to make it work all the time....otherwise we'll probably end up buying new one and then we would have just wasted $50 on this one.
Kim - sorry to hear you are so busy again! You need a vacation, girl!
Moan #1 - WHY did the weekend go so fast? Ugh.
Moan #2 - Why do I have 0 appointments on my calendar? I need SOMETHING to do at my internship and not having appointments makes the days go that much slower.
Moan #3 - This one is lame, but now as the furthest along of my pregnant friends, I have no one to talk to who knows what I'm going through presently. The one friend who had a due date before me had her son last week and now there is no one who "gets" what my body is feeling right now.
-Im not looking fwd to going to the dr today....this is my first visit since the baby and Im hoping it isnt too painful (but I am however curious to see how much weight I lost since the baby- I feel like Ive lost pretty much everything)
-I dont want to pack for vacation....I already told DH that he HAS to watch the baby one night this week so I can get everything done...and he has no choice
If you have any questions/concerns feel free to msg me
#1 - This online class is KILLING ME. I have two papers, powerpoint presentations, and abstracts for the presentations due by midnight. The papers are done, one ppt is done, and I'm working on the first abstract. Right now, I'm working/nesting without power but I am at the new house on my amazing patio with my new patio furniture, stealing internet from a neighbor. At least that.
#2 - I am so tired. I am supposed to be on VACATION, not getting up every morning at 7:30 to meet contractors. I want sleep, people!
#3 - I still haven't worked out the crap with my dad, and I'm scared to.
#4 - People need to stop telling me all the work I *should* have done to my house! Yes, they're absolutely right, but unless you're going to pay for it right now, STFU, tyvm.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
I have no idea where to start or what to pack. We are moving in 11 days. We've been going through closest and cabinets to get rid of things. But I feel like we aren't accomplishing anything.
Maybe this is TMI, but it's super annoying- My boobs are so tender and sore. Like pregnant tender and sore. I'm also super nauseated. I know it can't be possible I just had a tubal ligation 2 weeks ago. Plus i've been on my period for 4 months. My body sucks.
Another irritation is my girlfriends. I am friends with we will call her 1. She got married and we hung out with her best friend 2(when I had the allergic reaction to the coffee). 2 wanted us to hang out and do a couples date. Well 1 and I went to get our nails done and I asked her if she wanted to join us for drinks. She told me to ask 2 saying 2 gets all emotional. 2 didn't want 1 to be there. 1 started crying and saying things that her best friend hides things behind her back. 2 texts me and blames me. Ugh now 1 and 2 aren't talking. I felt awful. I have no idea what the heck happened.
Kim-that sucks I hope you either win the lottery or get another job soon! They are totally taking advantage of you.
I don't really have too much of a moan other than I have felt really moody lately. Everything DH does has been driving me crazy!
I just get frustrated because I have a new job that I only have been working a few days a week the last few weeks, and because of this DH seems to feel like he has a free hall pass to not do ANYTHING other than work. I am trying to use this time to relax and enjoy some "me" time before the baby gets here, but I also do pretty much everything around the house-cleaning, organizing, bill pay, groceries, cooking, laundry, etc.
I feel like it's pulling teeth to get him to help with any projects around the house, even things I've been asking him to do for months. I guess what bothers me most it that I wish he had the self-motivation to see something that needs done, and do it. Instead of me having to ask him to do this or do that without nagging at him for weeks.
My moan is that I didn't check my e-mail last night and I got a snippy e-mail from my sister. The first was at 5:30, second a little after 9. She e-mailed all of us (my siblings & my mom) regarding a speech she is giving tonight at a benefit. They are giving an award in my dad's name... and my sister is presenting it. She asked for feedback on the speech, and then said "well, since none of you responded". Hello? It's Sunday night! Between 5:30 and 9 I was making dinner, eating dinner, doing laundry and saying goodbye to DH for the week (he left for a work trip last night). I can't be there tonight b/c I picked this week and next to teach back in Jan. or Feb.; and couldn't ask to change (still making up days from the funeral & stuff).
OK- done with vent.
My moan is that over the weekend the baby moved up higher in my belly...and it's absolutely killing my back...and hubby is away again for training missions and can't give me a good back rub...ugh.
My other moan is that the weather here sucks. It's like summer isn't happening!
My moan today is that my nausea is back. All day long, and it gets worse after I eat (no matter what I eat). I have gotten a headache everyday for the last week and today it's really bad. I still haven't gotten my period... if we base me on a "normal" 28 day cycle then I'm technically 2 weeks late. If we base me on my last cycle, 35 days, then I'm 1 week late. We're not sure if I am PG or if my body is back in it's old cycle of me only having it every other month. So I'm just feeling so BLAH!
AND DH told me today that when he goes back to work August 1, that he won't be home again until August 18
Ugh I hate him being gone for so long. I just wish the county would hurry a little bit faster and call him to tell him his transfer has been approved.

My moan is that My 1 year anniversary was last week with DH and he still hasn't gotten me a gift. I reminded him before and I think he was hoping to get away with buying me something in Chicago that would count but since I didn't want anything he has nothing. It is really irritating because it was our first anniversary and he didn't even get me a card. I planned our whole little trip to Chicago and he didn't have to lift a finger or do anything down there - I mean how hard is it to pick up a card - there is a Walgreens on his way home from work and a flower shop. Boom card with nice note and flowers done. That is all I was hoping for. I mean I just got him a couple magazines and 2 books on home remodelling.
Today I am also feeling like crying all day. I keep having these dreams that DH is cheating on me, and lately it has been with this one girl that he goes to school with. I don't know why I keep having these dreams. I mean she is super nice and I even talk to her a bit, plus she has a b/f. But for some reason ever since I have been pregnant I have these dreams and the further a long I get the more upsetting they are.
Today sucks.
That was what I hated the most when we bought our house.
My Monday moan is that I planned a fun day for B and I (It's B's birthday today) that was just a him and I day (we haven't had a full day to ourselves at all this month, including our anniversary). I had to tutor today for an hour and he had planned on just playing video games then. Well this morning we had to stop by his mom's house and his brother invited himself to our lunch, and after lunch it became a boy's day. So now I'm home by myself again and I'm not happy with either of them right now. Normally I don't mind having the house to myself but they went out with their guy friends all day and night on Saturday.
