B&M Tuesday
That new job M took so he'd not be working as much? He didn't leave the office until 10 pm last night. Came home all grumpy because he's too stubborn to have gotten dinner there.
I'd made baked potatoes for dinner last night and kept asking him if he wanted me to heat one up for him. He kept saying no. Instead, I found him in the kitchen eating leftovers that I had packaged up for my lunch today.
Also, they're sanding the walls at work today. It's noisy and a dusty mess. Why the f wouldn't you do that on a weekend?!
Re: B&M Tuesday
Oh Kate - I would be royally p!ssed about all of those things!
Here are mine:
- I think I caught the stomach bug that has been floating in my house. I feel like crap. I am at work and I am thinking that wasn't a great idea!
- I went to bed around 11 last night. I woke up at 145, 245, 345, 445, and 6am last night. 1 time was to pee, the later ones were b/c my stomach was starting to get upset. Awesome
- I just got my flu shot and it hurts like hell!
- I am having such a hard time keeping being pregnant a secret. I want to tell everyone. I need the u/s on Thursday to get here so I can feel more at ease and share my good news.
David and I both need to get up around the same time on the days he is starting a shift so we can get out of the house on time. We are also both notorious snooze-button-hitters. So when 7 am rolled around, David said he was only snoozing for 5 more minutes and then would get in the shower. That would leave me plenty of time. Instead, he snoozed for 15 minutes! And now I will have to scramble. Yes, he's STILL in the shower, and I have to be at work in an hour.
Dexter and Maggie both need a bath and I am dreading it.
It's f'ing freezing outside!!!!
Ugh sorry Kate and Krissy, all that sounds super sucky.
Here are mine:
- I haven't been able to talk to Tony since last Monday because he's out of contact and I really miss him. Even just being able to Skype or email is better than nothing. I want to be able to confirm his homecoming plans and purchase plane tickets and make reservations, and see if our orders have gone through. And mostly I just want to see my husband's face and joke and laugh with him, not sit here worried that he's hurt or sick or hungry or out in the heat and rain.
- my favorite house on our "to look at" list has been rented. Grrrrr.
- I want to run, but I've been lazy, and need to get up off my butt.
Last night I didn't get home from work until 8pm and was in bed before 11. I asked DH to make sure he set the sleep timer on the tv, b/c the previous night he had left it on and I had slept like sh!t. 3:15am I'm tossing and turning and what do you know? THE TV IS ON. I tried to fall back asleep and it didn't work, so at 3:30 I got up, got myself some water, used the bathroom and turned the tv off. I had trouble sleeping again right up until my alarm went off. He woke up this morning and the first thing I said is, "I want to throw that f*cking tv out the F*CKING window!" He was like, "Why?!" all clueless, then said, "I turned the volume down!" Gahhhhhhhh I now have 15 appointments today that are back to back and I can't stop yawning!
I am still in a lot of pain from childbirth (5 1/2 weeks later) and I don't know whether I should go in and get checked out again since i"ve already been to three different doctors and they all say that I'm "healing nicely". I do have an appointment on the 17th, but not sure if I should wait it out unit l then.
Mackenzie had a bad day yesterday. She was super fussy and would not nap at all. I was really frustrated and hate not knowing what to do for her.
B has parent-teacher interviews tonight and tomorrow night so he won't be home until probably 9 pm. Light at the end of the tunnel is that he gets a 4 day weekend after he makes it through Wednesday night. I can't wait.
I'm right there with you, sister.
I wish this house would clean itself. Actually, I wish H would go ahead and leave so I could get down to cleaning while I'm still in the mood.
-My mom left today after a really nice weekend visit. Blerg, I hate living so far away from everyone.
-S has a cold, which means that the world is coming to the end. He acts like a little 2 year old when he's sick. Wait, Anders actually is easier to deal with when he's sick.
I'm sorry, this makes me laugh. Mostly because it is SO true! I hope the man cold goes away soon
Oh Meghan, I so feel for you... man colds are worse than having a cold yourself.
THANK YOU!
If he could just put his big girl panties on it would be great.
DH's work hours are still crazy. Some days he's out "early" at 7, but other nights it's closer to 9. We'd really like at least a few hours together during the day and he's bumming and keeps stressing that if we were to have kids now he'd never see them.
I love my job, I really do. Some of the people I work with however...not so much love there. There's only so much that one person can possibly do in a day.
Can I add to mine?
I stayed late a work today and made a phone call at 6:40pm to a student (because he had emailed the wrong department) but realized as we were speaking that he had a hold up on his account so I couldn't register him. I offered to transfer him to the voicemail of the person who handles that particular hold so she would know to contact him tomorrow (she leaves at 4). He was notttt happy about that and kept saying he didn't have a hold up on his account and that I should take it down. He started to become really rude and asked why I even called. I said I had received an email that he was having trouble with class registration and I was trying to be HELPFUL by calling him (I figured he must not know about the hold and that's why he couldn't register online). He proceeded to be a complete jerk to me and told me to get my sh*t together before contacting him again (ummm YOU'RE the one w/ the hold on your account, NOT ME buddy) and when I told him I wouldn't allow him to talk to me that way, he continued to be a dbag. I eventually told him that I'd speak w/ the person who placed the hold on his account (b/c he refused to leave her a voicemail) and have someone else call him back tomorrow. He told me to "have a good night" in a sh!tty tone and hung up. What makes me more mad about the whole thing is that he's not even one of the students I'd expect it from (the 18-20 yr old "entitled" generation)...he was a veteran who sounded to be middle aged or older! Here I was staying later than planned to make sure I could help this guy figure out why he's having issues registering, trying to make sure I got back to him the same day he contacted us, and it totally backfired.
Then of course I went into my boss's office to let him know what happened, in case the student files a complaint on me. However, I was so mad that I started to cry. I kept saying, "this isn't worth crying over, I'm just so overtired and pissed off" and I feel like such an a** every time I cry in my boss's office (no, it doesn't happen often, but I still hate it).
I have done this before too. When I get mad/frustrated I tend to get emotional, and tears seem to be my reaction. I have teared up more than once out of frustration in my principal's office and I hate it. I fell like it makes him think "Oh, the girl is crying again".
Tears totally go along with over-tiredness. Just ask my husband how much I've cried since having the baby
Hang in there, only a few more work days until the weekend!
