Re: B&M Monday/Good News Monday
I had a wonderful weekend. The Cookoff and baby shower were awesome. We got tons of gifts and are so thankful. This makes my B&M-I'm super exhausted. I didn't sleep nearly enough this weekend and I'm def paying for it right now.
My B&M is that I'm impatient, and I want my finished basement restored back to what it looked like before Irene hit as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we really start fixing it until the drainage work out in the yard is completed, or else we risk having it flood again. The drainage work cannot be done until it actually stops raining for a few consecutive days, and who knows if that will ever happen! On top of that, we figure it'd be silly not to paint the room while the carpet is ripped out and the furniture is in the garage, because the whole house needs to be painted anyway. But, finding time to paint is going to be a real problem, and will hold us up from doing the carpet, etc...Of course, painting hinges on whether we need to rip out the drywall...ahh, I could go on and on!
My good news is that last week was hellish and is now over! I'm no longer on-call for work, and won't be for the next 7 weeks. Woohoo!!!
In good news-we have an amazing next 2 weekends planned and I'm SO excited!! And it's supposed to be beautiful the next 2 weeks so that's even better!
My B&Ms..um..Curtis Painter is our QB tonight. WTF, Caldwell. You're an idiot. And someone at work sent an email on Saturday and ended the email with "Thank you, Kari". How the hell did I send an email on Saturday when I was off? Oh yeah. I didn't.
a full weekend with my family... I'm emotionally exhausted.
I somehow hurt my hip playing backyard games with the family (bocci ball, croquet). none of the meds we have are working.
The girl who sits next to me in my MW class is possibly the most annoying person I have ever met. That's saying something.
Basically, I'm in a bitchy mood today and am hoping the project runway episodes on my DVR can help me chill out a bit before work.

Hugs Panda!!
I'm hosting neighbor night on friday, and I'm so excited to get everything together and host a bigass party for only the second time... plus make turkey dinner, yikes!
B&M... I don't know how on earth I'm going to manage to get the house cleaned and the food prepared in time. When we booked the date I was counting on Lance being home to help with Wyatt for Thursday and Friday (party starts at 6), but now he's got cows to move on Thursday, and a course with work to take on Friday. I'm pretty much freaking out.
Good - I just banged out a project that was supposed to take me all year in about 15 minutes.
Bad - My parents' cat might have lung cancer. They can't catch a break.
Kate's Recipe Box || Relatively Bookish
B&M-work has been terrible all day today. Everything is going wrong, and I'm tired and emotional and have the worst heartburn ever. I need more days off!
MY BLOG
My B&M- I have worked all week and straight through the weekend, and haven't seen DH at all since last week.
Good news- I have tomorrow off. (Even if it's not with Ben.)
Bad - I'm tired and all I want to do is sleep but I have a long list of thinking tasks to complete at work. We also had someone resign from our organization today. It's cold outside and I hate it. And I'm generally in a tired/grumpy mood today.
Good - I'm alive, and I have all my needs met.
Good News
I feel like I have more of a social life than I've ever had in my entire life, even back in my college and single/pre-divorce stage... and it's FUN.
I got a lot more packing done over the weekend than I had thought I would and this move feels more doable.... I have awesome friends who stepped up to help me out.
B/M
I'm tired for both of the reasons above, lol.
It seems impossible to find a guy who is compatible spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically... like totally impossible, lol... but I know that if/when I do, it'll have to totally be God b/c it does seem so impossible.
Did I mention how exhausted I am, lol... just checkin... soooo wanting a mini vacation but I am so tired I don't want to even go anywhere, lol.
Good News: I got to visit with my cousin who is pregnant and due in November. We drove up to NH to spend some time with here before the baby comes and so she could see Brin.
Bad: My laptop totally died, DH is trying to reformat but it doesnt' look good! I luckily have most everything backed up and all of Brin's pics uploaded on shutterfly and facebook but it is still a bummer.
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?
B&M - Still hating this school year. Between the students being down right obnoxious this year to be micro managed to getting more and more put on my plate..I am seriously going to lose it.
Good - I had a fun day on Saturday with friends & DH's family.
Bad:
-Amazon jacked up the price on the BOB duallie we need...THIS MORNING. I missed the flipping sale by 13 hours because MIL procrastinated with giving us her CC-she is buying it for a Christmas present, but won't pay the full price....I now get to drop $120 on the sucker... (and that is the mosy whiny and selfish B&M ever)
-My butt is huge, I think I'm carrying this kid in my behind.
Good:
-We ordered our new glider this weekend.
-It's a beautiful day out, so I'm off to go rake our lawn and winterize my flower beds....and get a tan since it's 80's and sunny.
Good - I'm feeling fine and back at work. And my work pants are too big!
Bad - DH is gone, I am nauseous, and if I don't quick yawning at work my boss is going to send me home. Also, it's really hard to do anything while icing your face.
B&M: My blood pressure has been super high and my doctor decided to put me on partial bedrest today :-(
Good news: I get to be on the nest during the day again!!!

Andrew born 10/30/2011 (9lb 4oz at 37 weeks)
B&M:
- I don't understand teachers who only teach so that they have other people to boss around. There are so many amazing teachers out there who would love to be in their position.
- I haven't had lunch during the school day in over a week, let alone the elusive "prep" period.
Good:
- My boss is so supportive, she even called me at home to make sure that I was okay after the meltdown on Friday.
- Two coworkers also randomly stopped by my office to thank me for support today.
- DH and I made hotel reservations for the night before I have a conference out in central MA. So glad he'll be traveling with me and we can get a night away from it all.
Good: the house is looking awesome and the in laws have been a HUGE help, I almost wish we didn't have to move and sell. He's home, which is happy in itself. We're taking the in laws to the Melting Pot for dinner tonight, this isn't going to help me lose the extra pounds I put on this week, but I don't care, it's my favorite restaurant!
Good: the details for our house purchase are falling into place!
Bad: On Friday ! was asked to work extra a few hours this week and I said okay. Well, the person who asked me to put in extra hours had a cold and now I'm sick too!!
DH (and a bit me) is really lazy and doesn't clean up after himself so our apartment is a mess.
I don't want to do the dishes...
B&M: My mother, brother, and I have been training since June for a half marathon this weekend. I just now received an email that it has been cancelled. I'm so upset. All this work for NOTHING. My feet/ankles/back have been killing me, and I shelled out bucko $$$$ for running shoes and insoles so I could cover larger distances on my runs without making my feet look like raw meat. Now I feel defeated, and my mom is really sad. She said there's no way her body could take training for another one of these again.
I'm thinking about mapping out my own course and doing the first annual curlygirly half marathon this weekend instead. Then we can get some closure on this thorn in my side.
