Re: B&M Monday
Just the normal gripes about my job..blah.
But i had so much fun with our facebook status chatting that I'm in a great mood today!
Lance got sick from dinner last night and is officially useless today... So I've been up since 5 with Wyatt pretending I'm not totally pissed. It doesn't seem to be working.
I joined a photography beginners forum to try improving my 'skills' and although I've gotten some great advice, I find myself being less and less happy with the outcome. I'm not sure if it's because I'm worrying too much about rules and less about just taking what looks good to me, or because I'm scrutinizing myself too much.
The usual - Bills, Bills, Bills. Can we just get a break? I can't stand it.
Also DH has been involved in job negotiations for a couple weeks now. I think it's a dead end and want him to move on - but for some reason he won't let go. The longer this goes on, the more checked out he is getting of his current job - and he's paid on commission, so it's doubly annoying. UGH!
And for my Boston ladies - WTF REd Sox!?!?!?
I don't know if you'd be interested, but M got me this
It's a Groupon to a self guided photography class online.
thanks so much! I'll look into this
I'm fat. And I hate it. I need to start working out again, but between work, coaching, KR and games I have no time.
I also keep pinning food on Pinterest that's like 50 million calories. Not helpful motivation.
I'm sick. Not sick enough to skip out of work since I work from home, but sick enough that my energy level is low and I just generally feel crappy. My husband gave it to me, but it didn't impact him as bad as it has me and that's annoying. His sinuses were causing him problems and he was a little stuffy. I've had a sore throat for several days and I've been having coughing fits the last couple days.
On top of it, this is a conversation we had a couple nights ago:
Me: Have people at work been sick? Him: I get this every year. Me: Okay, well it's a virus. Him(in an agitated tone): I get this every year when the seasons change. Me: Okay, I understand, but it's a virus because you gave it to me. Him: I GET THIS EVERY YEAR. Me: I'm not saying you don't. I'm saying it's a virus and I'm wondering if you picked it up at work. Him: I GET THIS WHENEVER THE SEASONS CHANGE.
He was working last night and we were talking. He says, "Well, I guess it is going around. I've heard people at work complaining and describing the symptoms." Thank you very much!
The whole baby name thing is stressing me out.
I'm ready to just meet this little one, I hope at my appointment tomorrow the doctor says I'm progressing.
DH is super busy with work and doing his masters. I'm at home by myself all day and just want to hang out when he gets home, but he has so much stuff to do. Ditto for the weekends. I feel bad for him because all he does is work so I try to let him have time for himself for video games, etc, but I really just want him to hang out with me.
I have head a headache for 3 days now, and I have to go to work from 3-10.
I turned on my Keurig this morning, heard it stop brewing, went to fetch my coffee, couldn't find it, and realized I had forgotten the cup and had hot coffee all over my counter. :-/
My dog got into the bathroom trash and there were tissues all over my bedroom to pick up.
I am fat and lacking motivation.
Poop. Today sucks.
ETA: I am poor. I feel like I will never get out of my (very low paying) retail job and find a "college degree" job. I read somewhere that the avg college starting salary is 47K. Who are these people kidding? At this point, I would be thrilled if someone offered to pay me 30. FML.
vertigo is a *** that makes me want to puke.
That is all. If you need me, I will be sleeping until the kiddos need to be picked up.

-A woke up 2 hours early this morning since he wet through his diaper. He's been cranky ever since.
-I sliced my thumb with a kitchen knife this am and should probably go get a stich or two...but I won't.
-A bit his lip this am and has a fat lip from it, making him in an ever BETTER mood.
-I rolled my ankle taking out the recycling this morning and it's now swollen and purple.
-I currently need to be taking a nap and icing my ankle, but A is not going down for his nap (he's singing and talking in his crib) so I can't fall asleep.
-S left for the office at 5 am, will get home around 5 tonight, and then has to work from 7-11 tonight on a project. This has been his schedule since January and will continue through November 1st. I want to scream.
1. People who do not follow through with promises piss me off.
2. Certain people around me are very negative and it's really bothering me. Why is it so hard for some people to see the silver lining or look at something from a different perspective? Example that is super minor but one of those things that made me realize how some people automatically jump to the negative: I mentioned making a dream board for myself so that I could have a visual representation of goals I'd like to accomplish in the next few years (a new house, credit cards cut in half, kids, etc.). A friend said, "I'd make a dream board, but I don't know what I'd put on it...my house needs as lot of repairs so would probably just take pictures of everything that needs to be fixed and stick it on there. Like the hole in my roof, the crack in my cabinet..." I'm like NO, you're missing the point! Looking at those negative pictures day after day wouldn't be inspiring, that'd be depressing! Why jump to everything that's wrong in life instead of looking at what's possible?!
3. I'm back to that slow time of year where paperwork is all that I end up doing and it makes the days draggggg.
4. Thanks to AF, my face looks like a 13 yr old.
5. I want DH to go to Atlanta with me b/c he hasn't seen his dad since our wedding and his dad lives only 45 minutes away, but since he has no vacation time until January, he can't. I'm bummed for him because he said how he'd love to be able to go and now I'm feeling guilty that I'm going without him. I probably won't see his dad while I'm down there, but still...that's an opportunity he doesn't have.
I just want to sit at home and snuggle my puppies all day, but I have to work. Boo.
I am starting to get very nervous for my surgery on Friday. I am having all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed and have to be put under IV sedation. David nixed me having the procedure in our town, in case I react to the sedative (my mother has reacted to sedatives in the past). So I will be at my in-laws or my mom's for my initial recovering, and then I can either tough out the weekend at home like DH wants to, or we'll come home. DH will also be in charge of the dogs... and I'm dreading all the disasters they are going to cause because he doesn't take responsibility for them like I do. Like I need to be worrying about my dogs after a surgery...
- My grandmother is in the hospital. We had a rough weekend with her. End result, she isn't doing great. When I went to see her last night, she was so confused. I had to fight back tears.I have a bad feeling about the whole thing
- My mom works as a teller at a bank. She was robbed today. She is ok, but very shaken. Like she needed more stress right now.
- My cousin who is having issues having children was told pretty much that she most likely will not be able to have children. My heart breaks for her.
- The month of September has been awful for my family. We can't take much more.
- In the last hour I have eaten an entire movie theater size box of junior mints and I am now shoveling down pringles. I know I shouldn't be, but it is calming me down at the current moment.
- While eating the above food, I am just laying on the couch, I should be cleaning or doing something productive.
*Hugs* for your family. This week needs to go quickly for you so October can be a fresh start!
- Woke up to our freezer not working. Looks like we're using up everything that had been frozen until last night.
- I had to do a presentation/training at work today for the district. I'm the only one in the district that got roped into it and had no support of someone even making the packets up ahead of time. Making up the presentation took up way too much of my weekend.
