Re: Monday Moans!!!
I have no motivation to do anything today. I worked Saturday night and when I got off work Sunday morning had a meeting with mom and cousin about planning a baby shower for a family member... then I couldn't sleep all day yesterday. I hate when I miss a full day/nights sleep. I was exhausted for being awake 36 hours. Slept for 12 hours last night but still feeling yucky today.
We are dogsitting for our good friends for a week. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE dogs, and Mason loves having company. But we watched my parents' dog for a week and she just went home on Saturday, we got this dog Sunday (yesterday). So 2 weeks with an extra pup, just call us the PetsHotel. I just need some downtime with just Mason, esp with it being so hot. Mason can be a handful to walk, and it's so hot outside to walk... now I've had 2 handful dogs to walk 2+ miles together everyday while DH is at work. In 95+ heat/humidity Blah.
It is now 1:00pm and I have officially done NOTHING today. I couldn't sleep last night until 1 am (I think cause of the time change from vacation) and then I slept in until 10:30 am. I talked to my sister for about an hour and then have just been checking emails, nesting, and watching tv all morning.
I feel bad cause DH had to go back to work this morning and he works a really stressful job and this week I am only scheduled so far to work 5 hours on Thursday.
I'm gonna just set some small goals for myself today, go to the gym, finish the laundry and cook dinner lol.
I feel like we are twins. Except I'm not pregnant. Done nothing but e-mail, TV and nest/pinterest all day. Goals: walk dogs, finish laundry, grocery store, gym, dinner.
I'm starting to stress out about the fact that I will be subbing again this year. Subbing wasn't so bad last year, but the pay and work is inconsistent and I had been promised a mat leave coverage only to be told that the office offered it to someone else after the teacher had already told me it was mine. Plus I have had my own classroom (even though I only worked part time that year) and I would love to have my own classroom and students again. Plus I need an income. It's tight with just B's income and my sporadic tutoring/babysitting/subbing money. But I would hate to leave the education field. Right now if I can't find a job by August 2012 I'm going to have to give up on teaching unfortunately, at least for a little bit and that makes me sad.
I know! Well I finally unpacked some stuff and ate breakfast lol. Everybody needs a down day once in a while I guess!!!
New office yay! Unpacking new office... ugh. Esp.. when my boxes were all in my bosses office (mix-up with moving). And I will be unpacking all week. Yuck. B/c I don't have a day to give up to deal with unpacking.
And I am tired. We were out of town for a family thing in Colorado, and we didn't get home til 1am, and I was out the door at 7am for work (of course I had to be there early today!)
I am tired of doing schoolwork. I am doing one more week-long intensive and while this time, the teacher actually knows what she's talking about and the class goes quickly, it's a lot of work when you combine that with the other online class I'm taking, and the fact that I have to listen to and rate the ACDA Regional Soprano auditions (huge honor - I couldn't have said no). I want my summer!
I haven't been to the beach yet. GAH!
I want to make my house all pretty and we are trying to save as our credit card bill is already huge. I love my house but it's so expensive! But it's ours.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
Finally time to be able to relax. We are pretty much moved in, just a few random boxes left and need to finish placing our son's room together.
My moan is Moving. My goodness what a pain in the dupa. It was 96 degrees with humidity. the apartment complex we live in has one elevator and its in the middle of the building, our apartment is all the way on the end on the third floor. So we had to walk literally what felt like 1/4 mile to our apartment. I steered clear of DH because he was irritating me so bad.
Second moan- Aunt flo hasn't stopped and now i'm having to change at most every two hours. my uterus is Pi$$ed. I feel i'd have more energy if I haven't lost so much blood, i'm drained (haha, literally)
Third- I have so much anxiety with all these new things happening. New job, apartment, place, putting our son in day care, money. I'm a nervous wreck.
I know the feeling. For the past 3 years DH has been a teacher's aide...so I totally understand basically living off one income.
I don't really have a moan but I'm really feeling like I want to own a house and start a family and all that and it just sucks that we're not there yet. We'll TTC in the spring of next year - maybe a house the following year. I dunno. I know DH is feeling this way too.
