B&M Monday?
Anyone have anything to B&M about? I'm in an overall good mood, but the following wasn't so great this morning so I thought I'd start this thread...
-Last night I had a dream that my Nana died and I woke up in tears.
-I also woke up in a panic b/c I didn't know what time it was and my phone (aka alarm clock) wasn't beside my bed.
-We're open extended hours this week b/c of Add/Drop, which is great for hourly people who have preapproved overtime. Sucks for us salary people who get paid the same no matter what lol.
Re: B&M Monday?
School starts for me tomorrow- BLAH! To make it worse, as of last week I thought I was starting on Wed (the kids start Wed, and since I'm an hourly employee, we always start the same day as the kids, I always have the same schedule as the kids, mainly because, they don't want to pay us extra). I get the back to school letter from the superintendent on Thursday of last week, and it says that tutors/assistants (me) will be coming in on Tuesday. AWESOME. Thanks for the lovely advanced notice, and taking one of my last days of summer.
But, the weather today is awesome, and we had no damage of any kind from the hurricane, so I am thankful for that.
This got long....
We always have a "So Long Sweet Summer" BBQ/party close to when school starts as most of our friends are teachers. DH has been doing it since before we even met. We picked a date at the end of June, sent out a Facebook invite to give people lots of time to make babysitting arrangements, etc.
Saturday night rolls around and FIVE people show up. Only two of them to actually eat, the rest came later in the evening. I was really disappointed. We knew a lot would have other obligations, but we invited almost 40 people. The majority of them didn't even bother to RSVP, so we had no clue how many to expect. Needless to say, I have a LOT of leftovers to eat.
I was particularly disappointed in "my" group of friends. I feel like they just don't make an effort at all any more. I know they all have families and kids and things get busy, but honestly this is one night, and I never get to see them anymore.
I grew up in a town that is about a 20 minute drive from the city I live in now. My close friends all still live in that town and for some reason seems to be such an inconvenience for them to come to our place. This is despite the fact that many of them do the majority of their shopping, etc in the city. They get together for daytime coffee's and play-dates for their kids and never think to invite me. Yet, when I try to organize a get-together no one ever seems to put the effort in to making it work.
I'm really frustrated, and emotional, and disappointed.
This sounds like my friends to a tee. Hang in there, I know how much it sucks - HUGS!
-I'm overwhelmed by having to sell all our houses. It seems I always have someone to call and something to do on this house and I never think the house looks clean enough or good enough to get a good price for it. And don't get me started on the FL houses and our realtor...
-I miss running, I've just been lazy and dealing with other stuff that I seemed to have let my enjoyment slip away. I need to get back to it ASAP!
-A woke up at 2:30 this morning (yay for a dirty diaper....) and I have been up since.
-I have 25 ant bites on my right foot
-I do not want to go to Target today, but we desperately need a few things around the house and it's the only "one stop" place here...
I am sitting, waiting to hear back from the clinic on Wyatt's blood work... no news is good news but hearing nothing is stressful. Auto-immune disorders run in my family and the thought of something being wrong with Wyatt terrifies me.
Ugh... it just took me a couple minutes to sound out the word 'terrifies'... I guess it is time for me to go back to school too.
I'm with Lindsay on the friend vent too. I had lunch with my best friend on saturday (of course BSCBM was there) for the first time in months. She just found out that she is expecting again and I am so excited for her, but a little sad because she lives 6 hours away and I know that I won't be close enough to be with her at all when she is pregnant. Plus I couldn't help but feel like we ran out of things to talk about other than our babies... Then her son (a year older than Wyatt) tackled Wyatt and tried to rip his ear off out of jealousy, and now Wyatt has a big scratch on his cheek... Thanks kid.
I'm with you girls on the friend vent a little bit. It makes me sad when I see then all hanging out via pictures on Facebook. I'm like,"Uh..I guess my invitation got lost in the mail?" I'm only an hour away, people. AN HOUR.
I'm dreading our work meeting Thursday morning. But on the bright side-I get to leave on vacation afterwards! Woot!
My cousin is seriously nuts.
Work is super busy causing me to be exhausted by the time I get home.
We are short on groceries and I'm really dreading going to the grocery store. Hoping to make it to this weekend.
M has a few coworkers that have literally been attacking him. Like they demean him and his work ethic to each other and in front of his bosses. Thankfully, his bosses know him so it's not like his job is being harmed, but it really hurts him (he's a sensitive guy). I'm pretty angry at the 3 that are the issue and would really like to throat punch each of them.
Today was the first day for teachers to return to work. I am bummed that summer is over.
My yard is a mess. We'd been doing such a good job since moving in of keeping everything looking so nice and now it's gross thanks to Irene.
Irene destroyed most of my garden. I worked so hard on it and am having trouble accepting it's gone.
We still don't have power and we keep hearing it could be days before it comes back. I 100% understand there's a lot of damage but I wish things didn't have to move so slowly.
