B&M Monday
I almost started this post last night, lol... lets have it ladies....
Re: B&M Monday
I have absolutely no motivation to clean my house or get it ready for Christmas. I love my new home but hate being alone and miss sharing it with someone. I have dated here and there but I'm so beyond dating in my mind. I loved being married and sharing my life/home with someone. I've just been feeling super alone and discouraged and really working to bring myself out of it.
I ate an entire 8 inch boston cream pie cake between Friday and Sunday... by myself... not good. I need to get in better shape, eat better, exercise, etc but have no motivation to do so.
The guy I wanted to date has serious issues and is hot/cold... the guy I know I dont want a relationship with calls me everyday faithfully and is very much there for me but it totally wont work... feels like a cruel joke....
I'm still in love with my husband and it just sucks... he doesn't exist anymore and it feels like he died and I'm still grieving so much...
I hate laundry and putting away clothes. I wish I had a nearby friend who would just sit on my bed and just talk to me while I do it, lol... I miss my family/friends back home.
Aww, hugs to you Crystal.
My B&M is the movers are coming in a couple days and I am so overwhelmed with stuff. T wants to move a bunch of stuff ourselves, and I am so annoyed. The movers will pack and move most of our things, but he's being picky and frustrating. Not to mention he has to make 3+ trips to the new place almost 1000 miles away just because he has 3 cars. I HATE those cars. Seriously, who needs THREE cars just for ONE person?! It costs a fortune to drive one way and then take a one way flight back to come pick up the next one. I'm so over it. Ugh!
Crystal, your friends may have not invited you b/c they thought it would make you feel sad or uncomfortable to be around all couples. I'm so sorry you're feeling so alone right now.
Have you looked into participating in groups in your community to meet people in other ways? Even just as friends (you never know who THEY might know lol could be your Mr. Right lol), it could be a great thing for you! In the meantime, *HUGS* you always have us and if you need me to skype in and talk to you while you fold laundry sometime, I'm more than willing to do so ;-) lol xo
My B&Ms for the day:
I allowed myself to eat everything and anything over the past week and a half. I ended my last 90 day challenge the day before Thanksgiving and did fantastic maintaining my weight loss until that date. Since then, I have drank SO much soda, eaten SO many things (not even necessarily being hungry, just knowing I'm going to do another weight loss challenge) and let myself gain about 9 pounds. Not impressed and only myself to blame!! I started my new 90 day challenge today, so I went out with a "bang" yesterday and gained 4.5 pounds IN ONE DAY. I know some of it is probably bloat, but holy jeez!! If I had just been good during the past week and a half, I would be so much closer to my goal and there's no one to blame but myself!
I barely slept last night and I have a raging headache because of it.
My sister's flights were screwed up yesterday, which resulted in my mother tweaking out for a good 3 hours (trying to fix them) while I was at my parents' house...There was definitely a reason to be upset, but I hate being around her when she's like that. I also hate that I do the exact same thing when I'm stressed.
DH still has no prospective jobs (he has put in a few applications, but there aren't many jobs to apply for around here that could work w/ his school schedule), and it's starting to make me really nervous.
My face is breaking out like I'm a 13 yr old.
There has been a LOT of death and terrible news in the last week, and I'm ready for some happy things to happen.
I f*cking hate our PS3.
It's Monday..need I say more??? lol
14 school days until Xmas break are just FAR too many. These kids are DONE and so are all of us who have to deal with them. ARgh.
Crystal -- I have no motivation to decorate this year either which is weird because I usually have so much Christmas spirit. Maybe it is because I am not teaching right now and the LOs usually get me all amped up for it.
Mine - Brin has a cold, I just want him to get over it already!
- My birthday is Wednesday and I have to go to my last night class. At least it is the last one but it is a total bummer. It always seems I have conferences or class on my b-day. There are only 8 people in the class and one other women has the same birthday as me! We are bringing treats.
-My body has decided I can no longer eat without getting sick and the only anti-nausea meds I can take make me dizzy and give me a splitting headache.
-Arthritis sucks. Period.
-S is studying for another test, so he is leaving earlier and working later, and Anders it cutting molars. Between the two factors, I get about 5 hours of sleep/day....just prepping for another newborn I guess.
I missed a call from my brother, who is currently deployed. He left me a VM but obviously I can't call him back.
Some idiot broke my phone at the train station on Friday when he ran into me, knocking me, my phone, and other belongings to the ground, then he stepped on my phone, shattering the screen. Verizon won't have my new iphone 4s until at least tomorrow b/c they had a "shipment issue." It was supposed to be delivered today. I need my phone, desperately.
I have an exam today. I don't want to take it.
We are currently shopping for a new car since my little Mazda 3 is not as family friendly as we had once thought and hoped - we have decided on a Kia Sorento, but the question is new or used (we'd go with a 2011 if used)?
The B&M part - I hate dealing with car salesmen. Why is it that vehicles are one of the very few things that you actually have to haggle for price in North America? Just tell me your bottom price for both the new and the used so we can make a decision about what is best for us. So incredibly frustrating!
Sorry you're having a rough time dealing with car salesmen, they are so annoying. Hearing that the Mazda 3 isn't as family friendly makes me nervous, T drives one, and he insists it will be just fine, and I try to tell him I don't think so. Glad to hear that someone with experience can actually back me up on this now. I drive a Toyota Corolla and I'm hoping it's a little more family friendly with only one baby, but I guess we'll see when we get there...
We could *manage* with the Mazda if we had to. But it is a really tight squeeze with the bucket seat carseat. The passenger has zero room because the seat has to be up fairly far and can't recline at all. The drivers seat also is a little further forward than I like (I'm 5' 7'') but it's not uncomfortable. We put the carseat in the middle seat in the back, so once we have another kid, I don't know how we would make it work. Since B drives a Ford F150 truck, my vehicle is the one we take for long trips because it's better on gas, but the mazda just doesn't cut it due to space/comfort. The plus side though is that it does have a huge trunk, so you can pack lots of baby gear around easy enough.
Had to call in sick to work today because of absolutely debilitating cramps. blah.
It's a beautiful day and I wish I could go to the beach with the dogs and not be sitting in bed with a heating pad.
David's going back to school this coming fall, which we just found out was possible at Thanksgiving. We thought we were waiting until 2013. So he's scrambling and freaking out and I'm so over it it's not even funny.
Is this for his med school? Just tell yourself that the sooner he starts, the sooner he will be done
ick!!!! I used to be like that too. I would get white they would be so bad. :-( Hope you get some relief soon
This is what I've been worried about, we are a one car family and really can't justify buying another car. Other than a clunker for DH to drive to work. Hmmm I guess we'll see what happens.

My B&M for today is, I've been feeling a little queasy all day. I sure hope that I don't get the bug that FIL had.

My B&M is there the hole in the elbow of my favourite sweater. And it isn't even that old; I bought it back in July. And I bought it at a store out of town, so I can't even run to the mall and buy a new one. And this is the third sweater I've gotten a hole in the left elbow; I don't know what I'm doing!
Also, there's a mouse in my house. DH said he'd set the mouse traps on Saturday. It is now Monday and he's only set one of the four.
Yeah, he'll be done a year sooner, whoo hoo! that means babies a year sooner, too! But right now, not excited haha
