Random Monday
What's on everyone's mind today?
also how was your weekend?
Re: Random Monday
I swore I wasn't gonna be one of 'those girls' that analyzes everything as a pregnancy symptom, but now I see how difficult that really is. I'm not temping and my period 'should have' been here this past weekend... So far nothing. I've had a bit of cramping, dizziness, nauseau... But I can't bring myself to test yet... Mainly cause test are like at least $20 and that seems like such a waste if its negative...
My weekend though was fabulous!!
went on a little get away for the weekend... To a spa, swam in some mineral water, had supper out, saw iron man 3. It was a great weekend/first anniversary!
What's on my mind is that H & I are both incredibly stressed by our jobs right now. To the point where, if we could, I'd pack up and move to start over somewhere tomorrow. So right now we're just taking things one day at a time...
My weekend was pretty good though! It was my first weekend home in over a month so we didn't do much! Checked out a new farmer's market in the area, made some really yummy food, cleaned the apartment and snuggled with the pup!
Now I'm looking forward to our first anniversary this weekend!!
Hi Ladies! Sorry I haven't been on here in a LONG time. My life has been a bit of chaos, and it still is, but it is not negative stress anymore.
What's on my mind right now? The Spring semester is finally over which means I have about a month off before my summer class starts. I also got a new job! I was hired full-time at a high school as a drama and English teacher. I am such a mix of emotions. I am honored, excited, nervous and overwhelmed. I have never run a drama program by myself before and this school is only a year old, so it is still so young. But I am so excited for the new start and chance to prove myself, not to mention full-time pay and benefits. We also have to move this summer and H may have to stay up here for a month or two which sucks in terms of managing bills, etc. and we are going to ask our parents to help with the transition until my full pay comes in. Just a lot going on right now...haha.
Hope everyone's Monday is going well! Our anniversary is this weekend and we're going to New York!
On my mind: getting anxious about the logistics of H's out-of-town marathon this weekend, packing & traveling to Hawaii, having to find/hire someone to fix our siding and screen door frame...that's the current events, haha. Then there is the general anxiety about eventually buying our own practice, gives me a stomach ache just thinking about it!
Our weekend was good - it was my one 3 day weekend I get a month, and it was our anniversary yesterday. We went out to a nice dinner on Saturday night, had ice cream at our favorite shop for the first time this season, came home and soaked in the whirlpool tub, and then watched a movie. Kept it easy since our upcoming vacation is our "real" anniversary event. I saw my parents for the 1st time since Christmas yesterday, they came up & we cooked out for Mother's Day. Finished the weekend off with an episode of Game of Thrones, which H and I love!
Weekend was good...busy but saw a lot of my favorite people.
Im super stressed with work...we are not doing well and they making us stay late and try to get more students to come like we have some magic to make these kids want to come to our college. In my 7 years here we never had a bad year so it's scary!
We have an insanely long time between ending rotations and graduation (4 weeks) so I've been studying for boards the last 3 weeks, and I'm getting so stressed about cramming 4 years of material into one month of study time. I feel like there's a lot I've forgotten, and it's shaking my confidence! Almost made it through my 1000 page study book, but I somehow thought I'd feel more confident when I finished, and I don't.
This weekend was pretty low-key. I helped 2 friends throw a bachelorette party, we did a pole-dancing class and then bar hopped, and it was interesting. The rest of the weekend I packed and hung out with H. This next weekend is graduation (and our anniversary!), so my parents and in-laws are coming to visit, which will be fun. Then the following weekend I'm moving, while H will be staying here. Definitely another source of anxiety, I haven't lived apart from him in 4 years and I'm not excited for that!
I'm all-consummed with work stuff right now.
I'm just tired of being the one they know they can count on... because inevitably, it means I get assigned anything that isn't being done correctly, or should be done better, and I just can't do it all. But they think I can. So that's rough.
Meanwhile, I have one opportunity that will payover 10% what I make now, but it's going to at least double my commute.
H just wants me to find a job where I can take vacation around Christmas, so we can go to his family in NC sometimes. haha.

All I can think about today is our crazy busy week. H's birthday on Wed, our gender reveal and his stepmoms birthday on Sat, and our anniversary on Sun. Needless to say I'm getting no work done and all I want to do is go home and clean then go to the store and shop for everything we need.
This week H and I went to Dallas for my cousins graduation. We also did a little shopping and then did Mother's Day stuff with my mom and H's stepmom yesterday.
