Re: B&M Monday?
I just noticed my first pregnancy-related stretchmarks. NOT impressed that it's happening this early! I'm praying they stay on my lower stomach.
A coworker made a comment a few minutes ago that REALLY pissed me off (personal life related, not work related) and I'm having a hard time keeping my hormones in check.
I started this day off on the completely wrong foot and no amount of frozen caramel Dunkin Donuts coffee is fixing that. Is it 6pm yet?
I just realized I do not have any days off from work in August (with the exception of the morning of my GD test) and that bums me out. Hopefully the month will fly by.
Traffic getting out of the balloon festival last night was insane because the police were doing a really shitty job of directing traffic. It took us more than an hour to go what should have been a 5-minute ride. So, I didn't get things done last night that I wanted to because we were sitting in traffic.
Also, I have cramps.

I feel like time is dragging. I just want it to be time to meet my baby already, I'm so impatient. Sleep is not the best, I snore like a chainsaw and therefore T pokes me awake about 10 times a night, which I get annoyed because hello, I can't do anything about it, I wear the Breathe Right strip, what else does he want me to do?!
I'm not thrilled about the amount of money it is going to cost to register our cars tomorrow, I'm seriously dreading forking over so much to get new tags in this state.
I am too tired to cook or clean, yet I feel like my house is a disaster and I seriously want to nest, but ugh. And cooking just annoys me, I can't eat much anymore anyway, but the thought of cooking and especially having to clean up the mess just turns me completely off. I think I'd rather live on grilled cheese or something easy and light for the next few weeks.
Yvonne... nothing wrong with a good grilled cheese. Hang in there.
I have to go back to work in one week and I feel ZERO motivation. I had all these summer projects I wanted to do and only got one or two. I still need to go through all of the clothes I pulled out of my closet (purging) and do some washing/putting away. I have no motivation to start this. My house is generally a mess and I have no desire to clean.
I have a syllabus, curriculum map for the entire year and the first two weeks of lessons and materials to get done before Friday. It will take me all week but I just don't want to spend my last week of summer working. Yet I know it will make a huge difference for the rest of the year... sigh. What to do....
I stayed up too late to watching Olympics. But I wanted to see Jordyn Weiber's reaction when she didn't make the all-around finals! SO SAD
I have two very clingy, very sad doggies that miss SILs. Nothing I do seems to help.
David signed up for a three day shift starting the day of my birthday. Husband fail. So not only will I be alone on my actual birthday, but also my birthday weekend. Guess a party for my 25th was too much to ask for... even telling him I am sad about it doesnt seem to be getting him jumpstarted on doing anything. Our friends wouldn't be able to come to something so last minute anyway, so oh well I guess. Sigh.
I am so ready for vacation. Work is dragging every day!
Sarah - sorry about the stretch marks. I'm dreading seeing those at some point too. I know there is no way to really avoid them (much to many manufacuters dismay) however I just read a great post on coconut oil. It's supposed to help. I think the link is saved on my phone I'll text it to you. sorry you're having such a crummy day. I know it's a bad one when coffee doesn't help
Tara - that is insane! I'm sorry it costs so much to remove. I can't imagine why!
Krissy - I hate when work has me come in on days off. It feels like such an invasion of personal time. I can't imagine it with a little one at home [:-(] hopfully your busy season will end soon!
Yvonne - you should make T go sleep on the couch or something lol sorry you're so sleepy. I can't imagine what those last few weeks feels like. So much anticipation! Hang in there! I do understand the high cost for registration! The day before my car got hit (gggrrrrrr
) I had to register it and it was $530.00!!! When we looked at the actual break down it the plate itself is only $18.00..the rest is tax...don't I already pay taxes for roads and bridges?! Not to mention the money I used to pay for them was already taxed when I got paid....so frustrating. And for the record grilled cheese sandwiches are perfectly acceptable! Every night if need be! and it's esay to clean up. Or leave for T to do. 
Nicole - I would be so upset! I'm sorry that your hubby didn't think his plans through better. I'd be sad too and I'd let him know,...every day lol
Lets see, my only B&M is I just realized the report I printed 45 copies of and stapled all together on Saturday printed out the wrong damn thing...and now I get to do it all over again. At least I noticed it before I handed them out at my presentation Friday. The ironic thing is it's about being GREEN.................
That and I slept like @ss last night. Had a new pain in my back and I kept switching from left to ride side sleeping. I finally gave up at about 3am and moved to my back.....slept like a baby. I know I'm not supposed to sleep on my back now but I'm sure the baby survived.
