The why isn't it Friday post

[Deleted]

Seriously - weeks with a day off seem to take longer than regular weeks. No?

[partiallysunny]

Yes!

I had big plans to sew a dress for my reunion, but I'm just not going to get it done in time.

Not I need to go shopping tonight and see what I can find.

I'm not looking forward to this.

I tried on a few dress that i thought could work that I already own and they are too snug.

::sigh::

I'm so beyond done with this week. I'm debating on going out to see my mom this weekend. Just taking a break from the "stuff" at home. My mom would love to have some time with PF (in fact she would totally take over her care so that I could have "me" time).

[sparksfly]

I woke up this morning thinking it was that is was Friday. Was sadly disappointed that it was only Thursday. UGH!!!

go. You need a break.

Dixie, go for it. If that's what you need, you should do it.

I have to ask H if he needs the car this weekend. We only have 1 and it's actually his company car. Otherwise I would need my mom to pick us up. I can't haul PF's gear and carseat on 2 trains and a walk across town.

Today is my Friday! My boss who is out of town told me to take tomorrow off. Since it's my Birthday. I am so excited. My parents are coming up to take me to lunch. Then I'm going to go shopping.

Dixie, get to da choppah and have some you time. You deserve it.


I am very slightly hung over from last night, but am more exhausted because I was up coughing and blowing my nose from allergies. I finally chugged a bunch of nighttime cough syrup and passed out at 2am. Hooray!

Yesterday was the longest work day EVER. This week has been long, actually. And last week.

[margarita]

Have a great birthday neonpink!

[jojoandleo]

Is it sad that I feel like it should be Friday, and I had Monday off of work? 4 days work weeks shouldn't feel long.

[starrieskies]

dixienormous Go! You need and deserve the break!

DS got a hold of my camera last night. Before I realized what he was doing, he deleted all of the pictures, including the ones from our vacation that I hadn't had a chance to store elsewhere. (I left the computer with stbx). I have to admit that losing the pictures from the beginning of our new life has me a little teary still. I know they're just pictures and we can take more but it still makes me sad knowing that he's not going to remember these events when he's older and I won't even have pictures to show him.

[partiallysunny]

Sounds like fun neonpink! Your boss is awesome!

Poor gault

[partiallysunny]

starrieskies that is sad I'd be devastated.

I need to go back up my pictures now.

[dixienormous]

I'm sorry starrieskies. That sucks. It's still early enough in your new life though. Start taking more and making more memories.

It really needs to be Friday. This week has been exhausting. Yesterday was a short day at work and it still drained me.

I had one client trying to sort through issues related to the chaos of the parents' divorce. Then I had a severely depressed client. Followed up with parents of a client where the father was outright rejecting the mother and I'm having to hold in my own tears and judgment. Oh, and a site review by the state this week. I took an ativan last night because I still hadn't let go of the stress.

[tiramisu]

neonpink have a great birthday!!

dixienormous I agree that you should take some "you time." Even if it means asking your mom to come get you.

gault I hope you feel better soon. Stupid allergies.

[gault]

Hugs, starries. How disappointing.

[partiallysunny]

:: hugs:: tiramisu

Ugh, everyone is going threw so much lately.

[Deleted]

That sucks starrieskies.

dixienormous - I'm sending you hugs.

[dixienormous]

I really want that awesome TIP party that margarita dreamed about.

[margarita]

I'm so sorry starrieskies. That sucks.

(((tiramisu))) I hope you have a better day today.

(((gault)))


(((EVERYONE)))

LOL. Seriously! This party has to happen.

[tiramisu]

starrieskies that sucks. You will get to keep building memories, one of which is "DS, remember the time you deleted all of our vacation photos?"

Margarita's party really does need to happen. I think we all agree.

tiramisu - I have so much respect for therapists. You have such a difficult job. not only do you help guide people in their own situations but you end up internalizing their struggles as well as your own.

Thank you. We're not supposed to internalize other people's "stuff" but when it touches on things close to you, either you or someone you love, it's hard not to. The same goes for when you've had a lot going on and you have to keep directing your consciousness back tp the present instead of the thoughts triggered by something a client said.

I really need to meditate more. And start doing pilates regularly.

[cuddlyevil]

Hugs to all who need them.

DD said "you seem tense" and gave me a back rub last night, it was sweet.

I need to go clothes shopping this weekend. Blergh.

[starrieskies]

In true DS fashion, this morning he looked at me and said "Mommy, I'm sorry for erasing our pictures. BUT we can take new ones... Better ones! We can do it today!" He's got such a big heart.

I managed to get him into bed before completely breaking down and crying, but my mom caught me and decided to take that opportunity to lecture me about not getting enough sleep. Apparently I would not have been as upset if I was well rested. I love my mom, but I can't really talk to her about all the feelings I'm dealing with. She just has no concept of what I'm dealing with.

[cuddlyevil]

I am starting on the call schedule for next month. It is becoming more and more evident that I will need copious amounts of booze to handle it.
