Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed. - G. K. Chesterton
We had an insanely busy weekend and I am beat today. There are so many things I would rather be doing right now, work can suck it.
I start week 7 of couch to 5k tonight. I have stuck with it, given up soda and been counting all calories on mfp. Why have I only lost 11 pounds?? I was really hoping to see a bigger drop than that.
11 lbs in 7 weeks? That sounds like great progress! The only thing that works really well for me is when I cut carbs.

I had a Mom of a client who gave me an amazing sob story about what she had to have a really early morning appointment and even though I don't normally buy into the stories I hear I scheduled her for 7:30am. They didn't show. I'm so annoyed. This reminds me why I don't do this and I want to tell her she ruins it for other parents.
I'm being admitted to the hospital today. I'm waiting for a call to tell me when they want me. I really hope that it is later in the day because I'm really craving Chinese food and think I can talk my Dad into treating me.
Are you having more complications? I hope they can help you feel better.
I went to the dentist today so my teeth feel super clean. Nano is here and has recently been groomed so he's soft and smells nice. I have delicious coffee. It's going to be a good Monday
I was walking down my hall at 4:15 am to go feed her and she stopped short right in front of me. To keep from falling on top of her I weaved to the left and clobbered my elbow on the thermostat. It hurt so bad I could hardly go back to sleep. It's going to be a LONG day.
I think it's ridiculous that loose-fitting kids pjs and gowns have to be made of polyester. Polyester sucks. How big of a difference is really going to make if a fire is that close anyway?
I don't know what happened this morning, but we were 10 minutes late leaving the house. And then traffic was backed up at a turn where we don't really have another option. Got DS dropped off (where he cried for the first time in over a month), got to the school's driveway to drop DD off for before school care and she reminds me that it's pj's for school day. At that point I said fuck the schedule and we went home for her to change.
And then traffic to the meeting I'm at sucked, and my boss told me the wrong address (I was going to the right place, but he read it off of the agenda where it was wrong), so I was late (he was later though). And I can feel a migraine starting, and DH is OOT.
It's so freaking cold and I just want to go back to bed. I have major cleanup to do but I hate cleaning so much. I could also read some papers for my meeting tomorrow but instead I am bundled up and refuse to move.
The world seemed to be against me sleeping last night. First I had a string of bad dreams and then H got a phone call (wrong number) in the wee hours of the morning. To top it off, the neighbor's dog decided to bark up a storm when they let him out this morning.
I'm in a grouchy mood today. I was up at 4:30 because I was (and still am) mad at my h for not listening to me about something. Lol. I'm mad about the $350 water bill we got in the mail on Friday, which is complete bullshit. And Theo threw a Kleenex into my cup of coffee.
Amazingly, everyone on my team that is supposed to be here is actually here. I don't think we had a single day last week where the entire team was here. Maybe I can actually get some of my own work done today.
Dd won the student council election on Friday.
We spent all day hanging out in our basement yesterday. It was so nice to be able to actually use it. It still needs a bit of work, but it's functional now so that's good!

My anxiety is so bad right now. The high school emailed me at 10:15 to let me know of ds absence. But he went to school. So of course I freaked out because it had been 2.5 hrs since school started and I called and the four min on hold to see if he was there seemed like a lifetime Apparently there was a sub first block and she got mixed up. Thx for the heart attack. So my anxiety got a bit worse.

The exact same thing happened to me this morning. I dropped the girls at school, did an errand, came to work, and got a call from H, saying, "um, we just got an automated call from the school that M is absent." "WHAT? DID YOU CALL THE SCHOOL?" "No. "WHY WOULD YOU CALL ME FIRST INSTEAD OF THE SCHOOL? AUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH!"
She was there; it was a mix-up. Gray hairs, man.
Right? It was so scary. We live on the same street at the high school, so while on hold I was alternating between stroking out and figuring how something happened in the literal three min walk. He's almost 16, but he's my first baby I'll never stop worrying.
I straightened my hair today for funsies. It was not fun. 2 hours later, it looks really nice. It is the first time I've straightened it in a year. It's pretty long but I like the curls better.

The scar on my head broke open and plastic tubing is showing.
balletofangels, is everything okay? I assume this relates back to all the issues you were having the last couple of months? Hope you're well!
Thanks. I feel quite good actually. Plastic surgery to fix my incision on my head because the plastic tubing is exposed. Fingers crossed, they say I should be able to return to work next week as planned!
I just saw my first honeymoon go-fund-me on Facebook. I've heard that people do this, but this is the first time I've seen it myself. Somehow the tackiness really sinks in when it shows up in real life. They just basically say that they are in their 30s, so they already have all the sheets and towels and silverware they need, so please instead contribute to their dream European honeymoon. Their goal was $10,000, and they raised less than half that. And the amounts that people contributed were public. So the groom was posting things like "Thanks to Uncle Bob for the big gift! $250!"

I have an email response written and I'm ab to hit send but I don't know if I should. It's for a call for a volunteer to wrap 900 things of silverware for my child's school. I have a PTO fundraiser at the same time and we are going away. The last woman said it takes her ab three weeks. It's my DD's classroom teacher who is planning the luncheon though so I feel even more obligated and like I want to help out. Ugh!!
