Gah it's early for me to be up. I haven't seen anything before 7:00 AM in a long while. It's my first day back to school and we have meetings all day today and tomorrow, one of which I have to lead. I'm excited to go back, but 3 of my good friends at work left at the end of last school year, so I'm also sad about that.
I am looking forward to coming home and having some wine tonight!
I have 40 minutes left of this shift. I'm so ready to go home! Oldest leaves Sunday for college. I'm absolutely not ready. I am however ready to get back in a routine.
I've been awake since 5. I hate that I can't sleep anymore. Ever since I've had my girls, I have lost the ability to sleep. It's not even because of them that I wake up! I just jolt awake most nights and can't fall back to sleep. It sucks
DS woke up at 2:30 this morning. I brought him into bed until I woke up again around 3:30 and moved him to his crib. Up again at 4:50, my alarm goes off at 5:30. I was seriously in a rage. I'm exhausted.
Typically every year when SDs go home, I take the Monday off to decompress. I wasn't going to do that this year (I have JUST enough vacation time to take off Thanksgiving week and Christmas week) but after this morning, it's on. SDs go home Saturday, DH leaves for a business trip on Monday so I'm taking Monday off. I need a day to not be a mom. I'm taking Henry to daycare and I'm going to come home and play Sims all day, thanks to nicbreeful! I haven't played in about a year and all these Sim posts are giving me the urge. I'm going to download Seasons and University Life, make my Sim and set up the lot this weekend so Monday morning I will be ready to live my fake Sim life.
I go back to work in three weeks and would love to be able to sleep at least till 9. DH and I are going away on Wednesay and I am excited to go lay on the beach.
I had therapy last night and it went really well. I came home feeling good about myself and being positive.
H totally stomped on that in about 10 minutes. I told him I couldn't do this anymore. He asked if I wanted out and wanted a divorce. I said yes.
I'm not wearing my ring and I got a shitty night of sleep, but I am keeping it together at work. I always thought love was so black and white. Either you love someone or you don't. Either it works or it doesn't. I still love them man even though I know I can't keep doing this anymore. I can't live like this.
candreco LOVE House of Cards! They're filming Season 2 now. Also, Netflix suggested West Wing for me and now I'm addicted to that. Love me some politics.
I have a head ache. I have absolutely no privacy at my parents house. I'm sleeping on the couch. My old bedroom is occupied by my nephew.
I got a lead on a basement apartment through my dentist. It's on the same subway line as my job. If that works out I don't have to stress about a car anymore.
I've decided that Katy Perry is my divorcespiration. If she can publicly survive a divorce and continue to be fabulous, I can survive mine. Cause baby I'm a firework.

I LOVED West Wing, and even more so now living in the DC area. DH and I still go back and watch favorite episodes when there's nothing new on TV.
And I started HoC when I was in the hospital after having DS (yay free wifi!) but had to start over because I remembered pretty much nothing, lol.

The apartment on the subway line sounds good! You ARE a firework Vicky, I'm glad you're feeling strong

I didn't watch WW when it aired but I love it. HoC is so much more dark and seedy. I know DC isn't all feel-good like WW but I hope DC isn't THAT bad. Somewhere between President Bartlett and Congressman Underwood hopefully. He is ruthless.
Landlord is having the hall/stairs in our building that leads to our apartment refinished today. She warned us they will need to have our door open to remove old carpet and then again to lay the new flooring. H has to leave by 2 to go to work, so if the hall isn't done by 1, I'll head home to make sure our cat doesn't escape and/or freak out. I am irrationally excited at the prospect of a half day at work.
bff told me last night that she quit her job. She and her live in boyfriend are taking a loan from his parents to start a restaurant. I'm excited for her, it's a life long dream she's pursuing. But I'm also really nervous for her. She's a single mom with an estranged H who recently said he's pursuing joint custody of their daughter. I really hope this will work out for her - she's an amazing cook and has tons of restaurant management experience, but I feel like the timing is really bad.
Yeah, I'm judging. But I will do so silently and will be her biggest cheerleader
I'm so sorry Calamity. I am soo tired this morning and I have to leave the house soon to catch a flight. I couldn't fall asleep last night so I took a half a Xanax. Then my DH came home just as I was almost asleep and was stomping around and kept waking me up. Then my son woke up at 1:30 with leg cramps. I got him some ibuprofen and slept with him until 4:30. My alarm went off at 5. Blah, so now I'm super tired and Im sure my Xanax is still working as I don't have my usual before flight anxiety. Now I'm chugging coffee before I rush out the door. I hate travel days.
Well, fuck. I just looked at my credit card statement and there were a bunch of charges that I don't recognize. Card is canceled and the charges are being taken off of my account, but I still have to figure out where I have that card as the automatic payment and fix those when my new card arrives.
It was 61 degrees when I came to work this morning. While I'm looking forward to fall, I still want to wear my cute dresses and sleeveless shirts. I guess it's a good thing the highs are still about 80, but I hate the big swing in temperatures.
I was supposed to go somewhere with a friend today but woke up with a raging sore throat and a case of the blahs, so I'm staying home. My husband went somewhere after work this morning and I sent him on the mission to bring home food once he is done.
He also sent me a text this morning saying "I got you something" and I figured it was something for his hobbies and an attempt to get me interested. Nope, he bought me a lime green skillet. I've been talking about wanting new pans since the coating on mine has started coming off. I wasn't looking for an particular set or anything so thumbs up to him! I like when he does small thoughtful stuff, because he is the worlds worst romantic. lol.
My cat is currently sitting in the bathroom forcefully screaming. It's a loud meow that turns into a raspy scream. He does it because he's deaf but man, it sounds like I'm murdering cats in my house.
I had that damn pretzel bacon cheeseburger last night and it was delicious.
I'm sending the kids to daycare tomorrow so I can help a friend move and I'm not very excited about it. But moving sucks and I know she needs all the help she can get.
