Tuesday whines
Yeah I know it's usually Wednesday whines but I need it a day early and figured I'd post since it was so quiet yesterday.
i posted a couple weeks ago about car seat because dh got in an accident. Well they just officially totaled his car yesterday. So annoying because the original estimate was horrendously low and so it dragged things on longer than needed. Blah!! We're so annoyed. Of course the blue book value isn't enough to buy us a comparable car. It was 2006 but in great condition and a corolla so it had a lot of life left. Can't even seem to find any used ones that age around us. Can I say how annoying it is when somebody is completely at fault and yet we get screwed?! This is not what we need after just having to buy a new furnace! Ugh!! Oh and they stop paying for rental after 2 days.,,way to give us time to buy a new car!
And poor dd is so upset about it. She has been asking when daddy would get his car back. We had to tell her last night we weren't getting it back and she was not happy!!
i will add a thankful part that at least dh wasn't hurt and dd wasn't with him. It could have been a lot worse.
Re: Tuesday whines
I bought one from Totsy, but then I had my awesomely talented friend make one out of a very pretty Chevron fabric. Neither are super "Christmasy", so she can wear them any time.
That sucks! I'd be really bummed out about that too. Especially at this time of year, when it's already so busy (and expensive)!
Lala- I am right there with you- cannot find a dress yet for my girls!!
Sorry April. I hope you find something soon!
i know!! We renovated our kitchen over the summer and since then it feels like one thing after another. We've had 2 leaks in our kitchen ceiling. Had to buy a completely new furnace a couple weeks ago and now the car and holidays coming up. And we didn't expect all of that so we bought our tickets for vacation next year already. Hard to be excited about vacation with all the expenses.
I stayed up too late watching the game last night, and I have vicious cramps. I also just looked at a calendar and realized how close it is to Christmas (I know, I know....more than a month away, but by the time you factor in Thanksgiving, traveling, etc....it really is right around the corner!). I have just recovered from the mini panic attack I had, and I'm taking my personal vow again this year to not stress out about Christmas. I won't do it, I won't do it, I won't do it. Who's with me??

I'm on a new bcp that causes me to have my period every 2 weeks. Added bonus is that each period lasts well over a week. So I'm at about an average of 8-10 a month w/o my period. I'm almost finished with this pack of pills. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow. This can't be normal, right?
I'm so stressed out all the time. I have absolutely no time to do typical around the house stuff, let alone have any time to my self, other than when I'm at work, which I would hardly call "time to my self." Casey's schedule is killing me, now that we have Gabriel. He works 18-20 hour days MOST days. He's going to have to work at least 3 Saturdays in December. I have no capacity to get anything done around the house. Who wants to scrub floors at 9pm after the kid goes to bed? Ugh.
Further...my parent inlaws are coming for Thanksgiving. My BIL invited himself, his wife and his child - but has not formally committed yet. My house is a mess...blah blah blah.
I had this problem over the summer. I wasn't on any bcp so I can't help you with that. I just wanted to share your pain. It SUCKED so bad! Have you ever had your thyroid levels checked?
Me! I haven't shopped for a thing nor have I come up with the any great ideas like I usually have by now for a bigger gift for Caileigh (Keira getting a bike). Plus, I'll likely have knee surgery on the 12/19 so I have to get everything done before then. Toss in work stress, DH needs a new car, I broke the lawnmower this weekend & its enough to drive over the edge. But it'll happen and if it means less gifts or less decorations, I'm ok with that.
Don't let it take over!!
How time flies! Caileigh (9), Keira (6) & Eamon (3)
Gah - I'm sorry there is so many crummy things going on - especially when it comes to finances!!
My gripe is that DH's job isn't giving him hours lately because I guess they aren't scheduling as many jobs. I know it's the nature of the business, but they need to decide what they're going to do, b/c bringing him in 1-2 days a week is not going to cut it! It's too early in the off-season for this to be happening!

It's weird, but between here and FB, it seems that a lot of people are struggling with life in general right now. I'm not sure if it's the impending holidays, the moons out of whack, or what, but I hope it settles down soon for everyone!
*hugs*
My three sons!
