B&M Monday
-I went to Pilates before work today and one of the last exercises my instructor had me do REALLY hurt "down there." I'm getting private lessons with her b/c she's customizing my work out so that it's okay for my pregnancy, but this one move we did today hurt soooo bad I had to stop, and now it hurts a little when I walk. Doesn't hurt when I do kegels though, so I guess that's good news, just a pain in the *** (or vag*na lol).
-I have a headache and it's only 9:15am.
-Students who can't do anything for themselves really bother me. Which leads to this open letter:
Dear Student, If I send you the curriculum for the program you might be interested in, why do you need to ask me if the courses you're signed up to take this fall will fit into that program? You would need to do the SAME THING I'll need to do....look at your courses and see if they're on the curriculum. If they're not, the answer is no. If they are, the answer is yes. Seriously? It's not that hard. Also, please spell my name correctly. It's in all 7 reply emails you've received from me in the past week.
Sincerely,
Your Hormonal Advisor
-It's Monday of a 5 day work week.
-I'm so cranky I'm even bothering myself!
Re: B&M Monday
This made me laugh.
I also hate it when people don't spell your name correctly when they are replying to an email where your name is clearly stated. Laziness. Pure laziness!
My B&M is that my summer and maternity leave are almost over. I will be starting to do some school work this week. Mackenzie starts at daycare next Monday and next wednesday is the first official day back. Boo!!!!!!

- My job sucks.
- My partner is lazy as hell and can't figure anything out for himself. I spend more time in his office helping him do BS stuff and it's getting REALLY old. I'm starting to say "I don't know" every time he asks me something.
- I feel tremendously guilty for not eating better and exercising more. I feel like a bad mom already. And the hormones don't help.
- My husband is going to AFRICA without me. It's making me sad, jealous, angry, hurt and annoyed all at the same time.
- I need a flucking money tree. Right. Now. Damnit.
- Did I mention I hate my job right now? It's a huge source of stress, depression, anger and fatigue right now. And I'm stuck here.

This is mine too, well minus the maternity leave part of course. I can't believe this is my last week of summer. I went into school a couple of days last week, and I was going to go in today and then I decided to enjoy the beautiful summer (by sitting on my as*s haha). Teachers start next Wednesday, we go Wed. and Thursday with a 4-day weekend, kids come Tuesday after Labor Day.
I had to go to school today for all day professional development. Being awake at that time is fine since I didn't really sleep in all summer, but being functional and alert is completely different. Getting into a routine is going to be tough this year and I'm blaming staying up late watching the Olympics.
I have too many major projects up in the air right now, and I leave for vacation next week so it's stressing me out!!!!!!!!!!
and I totally agreed on the name spelling in emails! And just knowing how to spell your coworkers names after you've worked with them for a year... I recently had a coworker send my email to someone regarding a community event, and she spelled my name wrong (Nichole instead of Nicole) in the email address and the lady was so confused why the email wouldn't work!
I only have weeks left before school starts again- and I'm depressed.
Our taxes increased by 5k this year- I'm so annoyed.
Katies Halloween costume came today- I tried it on her and she screamed the entire time. Great. Can't wait til October.
Oh no! I hope that doesn't happen!
