Re: B&M Monday
B is leaving for work to go to Niagara from Tuesday until Sunday. He's going with a colleague who is also a really good friend. They have a conference Wednesday - Friday morning and then are sightseeing/touring for the weekend. I'm really dreading it. It's so nice to get a bit of a parenting break when he gets home from work. Especially because Kenzie seems to be fussier in the evenings lately. I'm also jealous that he gets a working holiday and I'm stuck at home.
Mine is:
I've been feeling a TON of pressure lately. I had an appointment today and told my dr about it. She said she wouldn't check me until next week because internals don't start until 36 weeks. It kind of upset me because I just wanted to know if this is just the "end of the road" and its what's going to happen or if something is really going on.
I'm annoyed that I can't ever plan anything really. I'm supposed to meet T when he comes in, so I kinda have a date that I can buy a departing plane ticket. But coming home is a different story, T has to check out, do a bunch of paperwork and other things, and we're trying to find a house to rent, so we're not sure how long all this is going to take, and nothing ever runs on schedule.
I'm hesitant to book a round trip ticket because I don't want to be separated from him, especially since it's going to be during my fertile window and we are bound and determined to try to have good timing this cycle. I'm so conflicted whether to just buy a one way and then book another one way a day or two before coming home since by then maybe we'll have a better idea, or bite the bullet and buy a roundtrip (cheaper ticket) guestimating when we could possibly come home and see if I end up having to change it later and paying the fees, or what. Ugh I hate this! I also hate the price of plane tickets.
I feel so lazy... I quit my job last week after 2 days and I'm totally embarrassed by it, but it felt so weird leaving Wyatt for a job I wouldn't be making hardly any money at. I thought long and hard about it and decided that leaving him wasn't worth it. Plus I figured that leaving earlier on before they had fully retrained me was more professional than leaving it for a month before leaving. My boss completely understood and told me not to be afraid to approach them again in the future, which is very nice of her, but I can't see myself going back there again after this.
Also, MIL and FIL are coming over Thursday night for 3 days for preg testing time, which is bound to be a complete gong show because those two can never manage to get through a day of working with the cows without screaming at each other and freaking out about every little thing that goes wrong. It is bound to be stressful. That being said, it's also a good thing because preg testing means selling, and selling means a big fat pay cheque at the end of the month!! Yay for cows being worth something this year!!!
-A has a somach virus, which means lots of gross poopy diapers. Since he has sensitive skin, we can't just use disposables, so I'm burried in poop covered cloth diapers. To make it better, he has a massive blowout this am, kicked the dirty diaper off his changing table, which landed poop side down on the floor. After cleaning the floor and walking around the house, I also realized that my pant leg was covered in poop on the back side for about a 6 inch span. Awesome.
-S is currently amazingly overworked and underpaid. Especially since he just brought in two 5 million dollar accounts in the last week.
-A is down for a nap and I just want some darn soup. We don't have any here, so I'm SOL.
I have to kindly suggest to my assistant coach that maybe she shouldn't be my assistant anymore.
the only reason I have to suggest it is because her dad is KR's pediatrician.
**edit**corrected wording
-Irresponsible students piss me off. We have a work-study student who had a 9:30 appointment with me before working in the office at 10am. By 10:15 she was still MIA so one of the other work study students texted her. Apparently she was sick and just didn't bother calling in. Ummm in what world is that okay?! Then, she came in late (like 11:30) and stood in my doorway while I was meeting with a student, trying to get my attention. I avoided looking at her, so she walked into my office and handed me a note, then walked out WHILE I WAS TALKING TO THE OTHER STUDENT. The note said sorry she missed her appointment but she felt sick this morning. It asks if we can make another one for sometime soon. Sorry sweetcheeks, my next available appointment is next Monday. I won't be rushing to contact her today to set it up either. (as I'm typing this post, she just walked into my office and sat down, without being invited in, and said, "Hi...I don't know if you got my note but can we set up a time to meet?" Duh, you handed it to me, therefore I received it...SIGH.)
-We have an interm Department Chair for one of our departments who is making a pretty sweet stipend for doing almost nothing. It makes me mad that everyone else is picking up his slack, yet he gets all the credit (and pay) for it. He gives me a skeevy vibe and I had a dream he tried to kill me the other night. That's unrelated, but apparently I don't like him in my dreams either LOL.
-Our union meeting w/ the president of the college was cancelled and this bugs me b/c I had something I really wanted to bring up to him.
-I don't understand why it's so damn hard for people to actually work on their marriage. I've heard of a lot of divorces lately and the majority of them didn't bother with counseling or anything..just split.
-I hate cancer, and I hate what it has done to those I love.
We just found out a close family friend who was supposed to come up for Thanksgiving was diagnosed with lung cancer and has to have surgery immediately, so she won't be able to make it. She has a great attitude about it all, but I'm still so sad for her and angry that she has to go through this.
You don't think she should be your assistant because her Dad is your paediatrician, or you don't want her and have to "kindly suggest" because of the connection?
I need to add an additional one...
If I hadn't forgotten about Thursday night football this week, I would have won my football pool of over $200! Instead, I have to hope and pray that tonight's game is really low scoring (under 34 combined points) or I lose. UGHHH
I have another one:
It's winter here and that sucks. And by winter I mean temperatures consistently below zero which means static-y hair for me, too cold for going for walks with Kenzie, and snow and icy roads on their way.
My morning started out with this BSC woman calling into my work telling me that two of the guys I work with ran her off the road after hitting her car. And they drove off. And she's giving my work "15 minutes to take care of it or she'll call the state police and they'll never be able to drive AGAIN!". I get her number and talk to one of my bosses. In the 2 minutes it took me to do that she calls BACK and says that the guys almost ran her off the road and don't I know how sh*tty of a driver that guy is? And just because he's cute doesn't give him a reason to be an as$hole and honk at her. Don't I know how much of a danger he is on the road?
What I wanted to say was,"I have ridden in a car with that "as$hole" more times than you can count on your fingers and toes, lady. Perhaps you should pay attention to lanes ending. And call my friend an as$hole again and I'll have no problem telling you what I think. And don't call him cute. That's weird. And you suck."
Instead I gave the phone to my boss. And made sure the boys knew that they owed me a coffee tomorrow morning for dealing with her crazy asss.
MIGHT I ADD...if someone ran you off the road and hit and ran...wouldn't you...I don't know...call the cops? Just throwing that idea out there.
I feel like I've coughed up both of my lungs but my chest is still ridiculously congested.
I got pulled over for "wreckless driving" on my way to drop off Steve's dry cleaning this morning. I was trying to turn left out of my apartment complex and didn't see this lady coming over the hill so I ended up accidentally cutting her off. A police officer was directly behind her and pulled me over. He then proceeded to chew me out for being wreckless and lecture me on right-of-way laws. He let me off with a warning (thank God), but it didn't make the experience any less embarrassing or draining. I'm a *** when I'm sick and I was trying really hard to be respectful.

Can I have another one?
I either need to rearrange my furniture or cut my kid's legs off, because in the time it took me to go to the bathroom he had climbed onto the couch - to the top of the couch trying to climb onto our pony wall/planter thing behind the couch... Earlier today he tried to get off the couch and fell onto his head. I feel horrible, but there is no stopping him. I'm at a loss right now
I have parent observation tomorrow and conferences all weel...I am dreading it. Hopefully all goes well.
On a happier note...my SIL was induced tonight so I'll have a niece or nephew soon!!
My ILs are in Denver visiting friends. MIL called M tonight to say that there's something wrong with FIL and they're flying home tomorrow. Apparently he's walking funny and couldn't add the lunch bill today (he was a math teacher until last year so this is super strange). They won't go to a doctor out there. I'm sure it's got something to do with the fact that he's been sick for two months, but M is sufficiently freaked out and skipping out on a work function to meet them at the airport tomorrow.
I'm breaking out like a teenager. I also need to get my eyebrows waxed like woah, but I don't have time to go. I look awesome.
