Anyone got anything to vent about?
We are having a delightful time on our "vacation" visiting family. But I am not getting enough sleep, thanks to also needing to get work done and not wanting that to interfere with spending time with family. So I'm getting up early and staying up late. **sigh**
I've been pretty down lately. I've got some body image issues going on. I'm just not happy with "me". I don't think I look....pretty. My hair is horrible, I've had the same hairstyle for 4 years and it's grown out I don't have a clue what to do with it, my skin has broken out, and I'm having a really hard time losing the last of this baby weight and my wardrobe sucks because of it. I just want to sit in a corner and cry.
My parents are visiting and has been helping out a lot at home with DD, cooking, laundry, etc. I was hoping to take advantage of their time here to start packing and doing stuff around the house.
I'm very disappointed. I have not done any of the things I planned to do. The house we're building has been taking all my extra time. The annoying part is I can't still see the end of the tunnel. Finally done with tiles yesterday. So that's a great relief since I started on it in March. Well, there's still paint, lights, closets, builtins, exterior stuff, cabinet stains, etc. It's endless.
And...I put in an application to a local salon for a part time receptionist position as supplimental income this summer. I went to cosmetology school, but hair wasn't for me so I never got my license. That information is plastered all over the application. There's even a spot for license # and date. Both those fields have a big fat N/A in them. I've been out of cosmetology school for almost 10 years. That information is also clearly stated on the application. I got a call from the manager yesterday looking for an interview, so I called back and she starts the conversation with "Hi Wop, how would you like to start your career as a stylist!". Me:(silence)....."Um, I was actually applying to the part time receptionist position. I never ended up getting my license 10 years ago". And she's all "I'm sorry! I must have missed that on your application. Have a good night!". *headsmack* Really?! You missed that? Yeah, I don't know that I would want to work for someone who can't read anyway.
I just got my birthday gift in the mail from my mom - a new patio set. I have been so excited to get it, but they sold out of the color I wanted (yellow). Our compromise was to buy the white and spray paint it. I have only done the table stand and the legs of the chairs and I am so tired of spray painting already. I just want it done. It doesn't even need to be put together yet - that part I actually look forward to. But I am hating the painting part.
We just closed on our first house on Friday and I don't know anything about anything. I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. And I know absolutely nothing about landscaping, so I have no idea how to keep the plants alive, what's a plant and what is a weed.

I had to do the gestational diabetes test this morning before work and now I feel all groggy and gross. There has to be a better way to do this other than drinking some lemon-lime crap with twice the syrup of soda. 5 ounces in 5 minutes was really hard.
Also, I started at a new office yesterday and I like it much better than the other office I was at 2 days a week BUT I'm cleaning up someone else's messes and it sucks. I'm filing stacks of papers. I spent 3 hours just sorting them according to the first letter of the last name. And the agent wants to keep everything, so there's crap in there that really isn't important.
i'm supposed to be in new orleans for a work trip. instead i am home b/c i got sick last night. i still have a killer headache that won't go away. splitting my head right open.

We just closed today and it's the same here... but I'm making the best of it. Yesterday I bought a hose and a spray head, some gardening gloves, and plastic $0.88 gardening tools (I am not a gardener, can't you tell) and am going to get out there tomorrow, water that crap and dig out the little leafy things that look like they don't belong and call it good.
My whine is I've been stuck in bed in our apartment instead of our now owned home because I got pain like a mofo in the vicinity of my girlparts. The dr gave me antibiotics yesterday and said if it's an infection (1st guess) it would feel a bit better within 24 hours of taking the first dose, but it feels like I'm being stabbed in the ovaries an injection and 3 pill doses later. Looks like my house may be waiting while I make another dr visit tomorrow for a possible vag wanding to figure out if its an actual physical issue as opposed to bacterial.
