Re: B&M Monday
I've got a few today...
Mainly, it's pouring, and is going to pour for the rest of the day and into tomorrow.
I woke up for the 2nd time in 3 weeks with my neck/shoulder hurting. Last time it was on the left side, this time the right. So uncomfortable and slightly painful. Heating pad and advil is doing nothing.
That .4 teaching job I posted about on Friday--I returned the call and had to leave a message(not surprising, it was Fri. afternoon) but now it is 11 on Mon. morning and I haven't heard back yet...
I have to call my dentist to change my appt that is scheduled for next week. The awesome hygienist told me if I ever need to switch to call her directly and she'll check her schedule to see if there's someone she can swap me with (since I live in MA and still go to the dentist in CT) but I hate making phone calls especially since I will have to ask the secretary if I can speak directly to the hygienist.
And there are only two weeks of my summer left before school starts
Kate's Recipe Box || Relatively Bookish
I've got a few too....
- When DH was leaving his previous job he had a lot of company points saved up that he used to get us a new grill. The grill came about a month before we moved into the house, so we left it in the box. When we opened it, we realized the company sent the natural gas version of the grill instead of the propane one we ordered. So we had to sell it (no receipt to return anything) and buy a new one. We went to assemble the new one yesterday and it was missing pieces! Had to return that one to the store and finally got a new one that's set up and ready to go. Such a waste of time!
- Our plans for yesterday fell through. Friends were supposed to visit but because of traffic leaving the cape, they weren't going to make it up here before heading back to CT. I'm kind of bummed since we'd planned the day around it.
Sadly I also have a few today:
- A week and a half ago DH and I went away for the night. His friend and his family had rented a house in RI and since they had two extra bedrooms - they invited us down, many times none the less. When we were down there and went to dinner - we handed them a credit card to cover our share, they wouldn't take it and treated. Well, ever since then DH has been obsessed with doing something to pay them back, which is very generous, but has cost us $250 (picking up 2 seperate bar tabs in their entirety) Well, for $250 - we could've gotten a hotel room and had a nice night away, just the two of us. I'm annoyed - If I knew this would happen - I wouldn't have gone.
- Also on the note of finances - our lovely (read ahole) newley elected governor decided to raise the state income tax to fix budget issues. Not a big deal - except effective August 1 - he made the 1.5% increase retro active to 1/1. Thank you for the $90 less paycheck today. You make me HATE living in CT.
- It's raining, and it rained all day yesterday and was cloudy Saturday. I hate bad weather weekends in the summer.
- I miss my cat..... A LOT
-I'm back at work today..which is great..back to normalcy. Except I get these looks from people that are all,"OMG..." and none of the guys I work with are being normal with me at all. They get all weird like they don't know what to say to me. Dude. You're talking to me about a job you're on. Calm down. I won't have a mental break down on you. Promise. But stop looking at me like I'm dying. I know they just don't know what to say but damn. Don't be weird it just makes me feel worse.
-I texted one of my best guy friends from work on Thursday after everything went down. I know he got it because he told some people at work what happened. Yet he never once said anything to me. Not an "I'm sorry.". Not an, "Are you ok?". NOTHING. I still haven't gotten anything from him. Now, I can deal with his BSC drama every day of my life. But he can't be there for me and Jon through this? WTF. Shitttty shitttty person, IMO. It makes me not want to talk to him. At all. I get he may not know what to say but I didn't know what to say 99% of the time with him but I at least let him know I was there if he needed to talk. More than he did for me and Jon. Priick. (Sorry, I'm irate with him.)
- I couldn't sleep last night at all!
- I am working today... first Monday I have had to work in 15 months. It blows!
- Busy season sucks. I want a regular 9-5 job that requires zero overtime.
Even an "I'm so sorry...I don't even know what to say" acknowledges that he knows you're going through a hard time. Sucky
Ya - that guy is going to get a Nestie beat down if he doesn't smarten up!
We are broker than broke and I'll be making less this year because of increased insurance premiums, tax hike and step freeze. I'm looking in vain for a part time job.
When I went in to set up my classroom this is what I found:
Jenny McCarthy = Former Playmate and MTV host
Pediatrician = Doctor with extensive experience and education on children.
Bumpies = Don't get me started!
I know who I get my health advice from!
What are you looking at?
Not too much to B&M about here, it was a good weekend with the IL's (for once!) and we are going OOT Thursday....
-I cannot find any "maternity" pants that fit-my belly is really small this pregnancy and full pannel will not stay up-which is all I have from my first pregnancy. I hate the thought of buying just the elastic-waist maternity pants since I know I will hate them when I get bigger, plus the ones that are long enough are $60+. Sadly, I need some by tomorrow before we go OOT-yoga pants and dresses are getting old.
-I cut my finger yesterday with scissors. Seriously? Who over the age of 5 does that?
-The heartburn is back and I'm still dry heaving daily. Heartburn+dryheaving really makes for a fun mornig.
- I'm tired of the uncertainty of our life, T asked for his detailer to get working on orders for when he comes home a month ago, and has the dude done anything yet? Of course not! I'm so pissed and I almost feel like going down to his office and chewing him out myself, I need to know where we are going and if I need to be putting our house for sale.
- I'm happy DH is getting 2 weeks of R&R soon, but I know it's going to be so hard for him to leave me again, even if it is for just a couple months, I don't want to let him go back once he's here.
Today was the first day back at school for teachers. The amount of information the administration throws at us on the first day is overwhelming.
DH is out of town, which made getting up this morning even harder. It's always rough when he's out of tow but he does come back tomorrow, so for that I am thankful.
Ever since I came back from PA on Saturday, my sinuses have been killing me. I hope I'm not coming down with another sinus infection...
I was on the generic of Yasmin (Ocella) for years and loved it. No side effects, nothing. It made me feel great. R got a new job and somehow the name brand was cheaper for us through his insurance by doing the mail order. When he started his job he has now in February, it was cheaper for us to go back to generic. I had placed a 3 month supply mail in order right before he started his new job so I didn't start the generic again until June. Now apparently no pharmacy around here carries Ocella so I'm on some Zarah crap. It's making me break out like a 14 yr old and my headaches are worse (I've always had them but rarely severe). I don't want to wait until my annual in October to talk to my Dr about switching me again but I feel bad bugging them again, plus she will probably want to see me anyways.
