DH has been gone nearly a week and we still have a few days on our own. Since he's been gone, my dad was hospitalized and needed surgery. I am in awe of single mothers.

H and I had a huge blowout fight Friday. We're alright now, but I hate how nasty we get towards each other when we fight. We are considering starting counseling to learn how to fight fair.
My rats now know their names, and the treat command. I'll never get why they get such a bad rap from most people. They are smart as hell and adorable. What's not to love?

Lol, nice tamb! What kind is it? Mine it really old and starting to die.
My coworker brought in my girl scout cookies today, and now they're sitting at my desk, staring at me. Must not eat whole box today at work.
I'm kind of irritated with H, because I put trim up in an entire room on Saturday and, while he appeared to be working all day as well, he got nothing done. I don't know what he was doing the whole time!

I hate it when you're warm, and cozy, and having an awesome sleep, and the damn alarm goes off. I was so tempted to say fuck it and hit the off button, but alas, I got my ass out of bed and got the kid off to school.
I'm now snuggling under the covers until the mini kid wakes up. I should get him up now, but I'm not going to.
We had a fantastically lazy weekend. I think it was just what we needed because I feel great today. Wish I wasn't at work though.
H had the first of his court cases with BM on Friday. It was nasty and it's not over. They were both ordered to take a drug test on Friday immediately after court and have to submit to a hair follicle test by Wednesday of this week. Next court date will be when results are in. I feel so bad for SD. She feels stuck in the middle and like she's being pulled in both directions. I really hope they can find a way to make things work for everyone.
We have officially start "shopping" for a house. We're not planning to buy until the end of the year but we're going to start looking and see what's out there, etc. Wish us luck.
The back roads I take to get to the freeway this morning were fine. No snow, no ice, so I figured the freeway would be fine too. Nooooope. I started sliding the second I got on the freeway. Black ice everywhere. I find it funny that my back roads, that NEVER get plowed or salted were perfect and the freeway was a mess.
I also forgot my planner at home. I'm lost. I rely on that damn thing way too much.
Jax was up on and off all night long, him and I ended up sleeping in the spare bedroom. Each time he woke up he almost looked like he was having a bad dream. When we finally woke up this morning he sounded super congested.
I am off today and am getting a massage in an hour. Jax is going to go with my mom and then I think we are going to go to a meetup at the library to make unity necklaces.
We had a good weekend. I got drunk Saturday! For the first time in, like, a year and a half!
Tomorrow night, H is taking off work so he can pick up the baby from daycare and I can go to Sephora after work and have fun. Completely his idea. Woot!
My Dr. called me back, but I missed the call because I was still asleep. When I returned the call, I had to leave a message. Grr. I woke up earlier than necessary, and should be finding work clothes but don't feel like moving from the couch right now.
H and I have such a roller coaster relationship and I am just so worn out from it. I just want things to be good with us again. Amazing sex marathon on Friday to not speaking on Sunday. Marriage is hard.
I have a first appointment with a new psychiatrist today. He's a 60 y.o. man but he's the only one that was taking new patients. Why is it so hard to find someone good? Also, my meds totally run out today so it couldn't be better timing. But I hate starting over with someone new and rehashing all of my issues...
I miss my kids after playing with them all weekend. They are the only thing keeping me afloat.
I took Diesel out at 4:00 this morning, and not 10 minutes later sat my coffee down on the table next to his head in the completely dark house. He started growling, barking, full-out STRANGERDANGER mode. Turned on the light and my 145 lb. protector was snuggled, carrying on from under his blanket on the couch with his pillow pet. Looked up at me like: "oh thank God it's you."
Nicholas had carrots with his breakfast and Diesel brought in his Nylabone, sat it on the table next to N's plate, sat and wagged his tail. ("Let's trade") I guess he likes carrots.
Nicholas is on day 3 of getting on my last nerve. His major tantrum at the dog food store yesterday afternoon drove me to tears and a Xanax. It's only 8:37 and I'm contemplating a 1/2 as a preventative.

-We are off today. And I'm too lazy to go out for breakfast...well too cold. I guess I will get ready after I type this. My H keeps coming back in the room to see if I got ready, lol.
-I finally got to see my Mom on Skype for the first time in years yesterday. It was pretty fun!
-I woke up a couple of times last night to my neighbors having sex again. I love my townhouse and all the space but I don't know how long I can stand shared walls. I can't wait till we get a house!
I still feel guilty for blowing off a friend's request for help moving into her new house. But I mostly feel guilty because she totally called me on it
The cold weather is making me itchy and I needs lotion
Working here too today, which stinks because noone else around here is working. Because a lot of people aren't working today, my DS and only one other girl are going to be at daycare today. For minute, I thought he might be bored because of that, but then it occurred to me that it is just him when he is at home, so having one other kid to play with will still be fun for him. I had Kashi crunch for breakfast and feel like I could eat the entire box if I wanted to.

Working here too but wish that we would have had the day off to avoid the mess. The commute wasn't bad and the parking garage was nearly empty but the MLK parade is at 11 and the route goes right in front of our office. The crowds will be insane and we won't be able to get lunch anywhere without a long wait. This is one of the like seven days a year that it isn't fun to work downtown so I should really just suck it up.
I had to drive DH to work because our Jeep wouldn't start because it is too cold. So instead of getting another 30 mins in my nice warm bed I got to go out in -30 degree weather.
I have to work today and it is going to be a long one.
I am waiting to hear back from grad schools and it is killing me!
I've been in denial about exactly how much of my lost weight I've gained back (and it's not like I was done losing weight anyway), but a friend tagged me in some fb photos yesterday and I was appalled to see myself.
Ever since NYD, I've been telling myself that THIS is the day/week I'm getting back on track, and then pffffffttttt. Well, shit, that was just the slap in the fat face I needed.
At least you didn't gain all of it back, right?
You still have time to take control and turn it around.
C slept all night, no waking up. That is two for two with her. yay!
K slept until nearly 4 am and then went back to sleep for another three hours. She is still coughing and is sleeping again, which I am guessing is normal for being sick like this. I, on the other hand, did not fall asleep until after 1 am due to nerves.
My highlight of the day today will be hitting the grocery store. Good times!
