Let's hear it ladies!

Re: B&M Mondays

  • Haha...apparently we were doing this at the same time!

    I've been so tired lately and there's no reason for it. I go to bed before 11 and have a hard time getting out of bed before 10:30. It's insane and it's starting to bother me. 

    This is pretty much my last week home before going back to school. Next week, I leave for PA for 2 weeks. The weekend I come back is my last one before going back to work. I'm thankful to have summers off but August is the worst.  

  • I'm with ya on the tiredness. I barely got any sleep all weekend and went to bed really early last night (9:30) but easily could've slept 2 more hours or so this morning! UGH!

    I can't wait for wedding and tax season to be over - I feel like I"m going to be playing catch up on these finances forever! And I know we have to replace a couple windows before winter too - which stressed me out even more! UGH!

    Lastly I have no motivation to work today - I hate Mondays :(

  •  Being a teacher all the days of the week just jumble together for me in the summer :) 

    It's our anniversary today and my husband left at 7 am to head to the city with one of our co-workers to get his Visa for his China trip.  So I'm home alone.  It's not so bad though because he should be home by early afternoon and we are going to go for dinner tonight.

  • I just had an emotionally exhausting meeting with a student.  She's in a really tough academic/financial situation and there is no good solution for her, but she seemed to want me to make it all better.  We had talked on the phone last week and all the issues she has need to be addressed by the Academic Dean, not me, but she insisted on making an appointment with me anyway.  She was pissed about an instructor and on edge the entire meeting, and when she asked me, "What are her credentials anyway, if she's supposed to be teaching...I don't think she should teach," and I responded with, "I honestly don't have that information..." she cut me off and stood up and started to storm out of my office saying, "NO ONE HERE KNOWS ANYTHING AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME!"    Awesome.  It was especially delightful when she screamed at her child (who was in the room the whole time) and told her to "STOP WHINING!!!!!!!!!!!!"  I got her back in my office and calmed her down a little (aka she stopped crying), then gave her the Academic Dean's info and suggested she make an appointment with her.   I'm ready for a nap.

    Also, it's minor but I thought DH was out of town until Wednesday, but found out last night that it's until Thursday.  Normally that'd be fine, but since I'm PMSing I started to tear up.  Boo to hormones!!

    Yay, so close!!!

    My B&M:

    I had some dental work done on Wednesay and they hit a nerve. I cannot eat or sleep on the left side of my face. I called Friday and then again this AM since they never returned my message. The office is trying to push any "repair" work ot for 2 weeks! I am not happy.

    I got 3 hours of sleep last night thanks to S renting a scary movie and then Anders waking up at 3:30.

    Anders he decided he no longer wants milk. We are offering him his sippy cups at the same times as we have for 3 months and he refuses. He will flip out about 2 hours later screaming (typically when he's in the car..)  because he wants milk. This could be a long week.

    S is being treated like crap at his office and it's adding to the stress we already have going on.

    I want it to be August 11th already....

  • Today is my last day in FL, I go home tomorrow morning, and while I'm looking forward to going back to my own house, I'm also dreading it, my surgery is on Thursday and it's making me nervous. At least I won't be alone for very long since my sister is coming to be with me for my surgery, but after she leaves, it's going to be a long 3.5-4 months as I wait and wait for DH to come home. I'm so tired of deployment and extensions and all this crap. I just want my husband home, I don't want to do everything alone anymore, and I definitely don't want to deal with selling all 3 of our houses all on my own.

  • I did not sleep well last night at all. So I'm tired and I was 30 minutes later for work than I wanted to be.

    And as noted in my Vent from Saturday, my uncle is ridiculous and has made my job a pain for the time being... again. Eh, at least he's gone now and we can start doing things the right way. 

    I also feel like my summer pretty much ends this week because M starts school (FINAL YEAR!!!) next week. I'm thrilled this is the last August we'll ever have to do this, but I just want summer to last a little bit longer...

  • The idiots in my math class wasted about 15 minutes of our final review day today trying to convince the professor to give us a curve on our final grade. This bothered me because 1) we ran out of time and didn't get a chance to go over everything, and 2) had they actually made the effort to show up to class and do the work they wouldn't need a curve and wouldn't need to waste my time.

  • I posted this below but I'll repost here too b/c I want to *** and moan a lot :-)

     Yesterday was my anniversary and it sucked :-(

     I'm not at home b/c of work and DH and I already agreed we'll celebrate on our dating anniversary instead.  Still, I expected him to at least text me with "happy anniversary" or send flowers to the hotel or SOMETHING but instead he did nothing at all.  Probably partially my fault for not communicating what I wanted to him but I was still pretty bummed out.  Hopefully our celebration in August will make up for it.

    People like that are obnoxious. One of my grad school profs always spent the first 15-20 min. of our 3 hour class talking about her children. I don't care to waste my time/money on listening to stories about your children. Tell me what I need to know so I can leave.

    Gotta love people who don't go to class ever then complain and/or whine at the end!
