Rambling
I am having a seriously hard time staying awake right now. I was much more alert at 1:30am when I had to pee in the middle of the night. Why are afternoons so tired?
My car's check engine light came on on Sunday. It's not the gas cap. Even though DH is the one dealing with it (since he works close to the dealership and it's under warranty still) I am irrationally annoyed still. Why can't things just be easy for a while?
I'm full term, but no where near ready for baby. I have a feeling I'll go early, though. I wish I had the energy to finish all the prep work... maybe the lack of energy means I'm not actually that close.
I got a new phone - my first ever smartphone. When I went to a Bump board, it loads a mobile version. But when I try to look at Nest boards, it shows the whole page like a regular webpage and I have no idea how to get it to do the mobile version so it's easier to read.
What's new in your life?
Re: Rambling
Hope that whatever is causing your car's check-engine light to go on is a quick fix, and free while under warranty. Cars are such a money suck.
I am hoping to take advantage of the extended holiday hours at the stores near me, so I can finish up the last of my shopping tonight... Without having to drag my kids with me.
I'm trying to finalize the menu for my mom's and DH's joint birthday party on Sunday. I'm making lobster, and roasted chicken... Umm, that's all I've got so far.
And I desperately NEED to clean ny house since I have company coming on Sunday!
I'm in a funktity-funk that needs to end. Life needs to improve.
Today's blog post just poured out of me when I took a break from working. haven't written like that in a while.
I'm so over 3:30 phone calls from the boss completely redirecting the work I was supposed to finish by 5 so now i'll be working after the kids go to bed. c'mon dude. So now that I'm totally thrown and have to leave in 20 min anyway, I'm going to use those 20 min to make the to-do list on this project, make lunches, and that way feel less stressed and be able to enjoy my kids more this evening.
My house is disgusting and I seem to be incapable of cleaning it. argh.

Amy- I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and the baby! I know there is a lot on your plate right now. My gf is due on 12/23 and i know how stressed she is in general,plus add the feeling of not being ready (if it helps, i know she feels the same..plus they are moving cross country in January right after the birth so i think shes ready to hit the deep end). I hope that everything falls into place-- i know it will! And you will have a wonderful new baby soon, and a bigger family- which is exciting...
in other news, I feel michelle on the cleaning. I actually spent over 6 hours cleaning on saturday then sat down an cried...I felt like I wasted my entire day doing something I hate doing. Mind you we live in just over 1000 sq. feet. I just want a bigger home and i want "our" house to work out sooner rather than later. We don't have any storage and if i trip over the ornament boxes ONE more time i might throw them across the room. I want to be able to decorate for christmas without tupperware containers having to sit in the middle of the living room because there is NO place to put them, Or to fold laundry someplace other than on my stove. It's so frustrating to want something so bad, and work hard everyday and save money and STILL not be able to afford a decent house around here with a regular sale- it makes me want to move someplace else so bad.
Alicia - thanks for confirming that I'm not totally crazy (at least when it comes to mobile viewing of TN!). TheBump has it, but it's got bugs as you'd expect. Some boards don't show up in the menu and the titles are super short so you generally can't figure out what the post is about without opening it. But at least the font size is bigger and it adjusts the post to the screen width correctly.
Check engine light is apparently only an issue with the light. When DH dropped it at the dealership, it still had the light on. They tried to run the codes and found nothing. They reset the light and it hasn't come back on... so fingers crossed that's over with in a very uneventful way.
I've given up on the idea of having a clean house. We clean each room when it gets too bad, but the whole house hasn't been clean at once for probably a year now. Good thing we don't have company much.
Happy 12/12/12!
