Day 7 of abx and I'm still not 100%. I don't know what this infection was, but it really did a number on me. I'm thankful to no longer be half-dead but part of me is beginning to wonder if 10 days of abx will be enough to slay the dragon.
I want to go one day without my dad sending me his local weather report. I don't give a fuck what the weather is 1000 miles from me.
Obnoxious bragplaint: I'm seriously beginning to wonder if DD needs to skip a grade. Neither H nor I are a fan of this idea AT ALL, but she is breezing her way through the supposed challenge homework and creates her own extracurricular school work out of boredom. Two weekends ago she spent her entire weekend doing a research/writing/craft project on the rain forest just because. I'm at a bit of a loss.
H and I have a date tomorrow night and we can't decide what to do, LOL.
IIOY that's pretty cool your daughter is that smart!
I leave Florida today to go home to minus 10 and snow. Ewwww. I'm ready for my own space again though. Staying with my inlaws wears off after a week and we are on day 9.
While we were here we worked on getting a new kitchen in our rental property and DH picked a hideous granite counter without my permission. There is a thread on ML devoted to my anger about it.
I'm really trying to be my best to just suck up having a bad teacher this year.... but every day this week DS has read at least 100 pages of his book while at school and come home with a backpack full of origami
I have a crown replacement today. I'm having major anxiety over it.
Are you having the old crown removed or new one placed? I went through the process a few months ago and both were unpleasant but not painful (outside my normal TMJ-pain from opening my mouth too wide). My temp crown didn't stay put so I lived toothless for a bit. Placing the new crown was more involved, but still over in 15 minutes.

I can't tell what's wrong with me or what to do about it. I mean, I'm probably dealing with depression even though I'm not sad. More an unshakeable unease that I'm trying to combat with all the things you're suppose to (projects, rest, exercise, healthy food, etc) and it works to an extent but really I just feel spent. I dislike all my friends, the weather, my husband, feel gross and fat, etc.
I don't know if it's seasonal or deeper. Being pg I am hesitant to restart antidepressants. I feel like a I need a vacation more than anything. Somewhere warm by myself.
I still really want this adorable puppy even though it's completely wrong timing. When I talked with DH last night, he said he actually would be fine if we didn't get any more pets once our cat passes away (8rys old, so it could be a while). But still, I always imagined that if we had only 1 child, they would at least get a dog for companionship and all that good stuff. So not only am I making my mind calm down with the silly idea of a dog Right Now, wrestling with the fact that DH and I will have to agree on the dog situation down the road when we really are in the right spot for one :/

My nine month old slept for fourteen hours straight last night. Okay, wait. She did wake up for 10 minutes to nurse once. My five year old woke up eleventy billion times. I kept her home from school because she's a hot mess, but I'm regretting it now. I should have just sent her because I may just lose my damn mind.
Someone brought in all these wonderful candies from China to celebrate the Chinese New Year. I am stuffing my face with them in proper fat-ass European fashion.

Take an advil.
Having dental work stresses me the fuck out, too. I had one bad experience as a young adult and now I just put everything off. It's good you're getting it done.

My family's clusterfuck of a vacation continues. We have officially hired the worst travel agent ever. Today is day 6 of the TA being MIA, not returning any of our phone calls or emails because she has guests staying at her house. *blink blink* Meanwhile I have plane tickets for the wrong 2 weeks that get more expensive to fix every day. (And they're freq flier tix so I'm getting ever closer to the point of being unable to switch them bc they only allow a few people on each flight to have these tix.) I have no idea what the right dates are. I have no idea if any tour has been booked for us. I have no idea if Delta has available tix left because snowpocalypse made their hold time 4+ hours.

Does the TA work for an agency? Can you contact someone else at the agency?

you'll love this. The TA is independent. And has a phone. A land line. That is all. No computer, nothing.

we don't even need a TA at this point. But she's my grandma's friend so my grandma is torn between slapping her and not wanting to offend her. By Monday even my grandma will fire her. Just in time for another snowpocalypse to make delta unreachable.

((HUGS)) I went through that with my pregnancy. I had quit a/d's about 8-9 months before I got pregnant so I thought I was doing good. At about week 12 my chronic anxiety/depression got so bad that I was having panic attacks and just crying about everything. I didn't want to go back on a/d's while pregnant but my OB said that being that anxious and depressed is just about as bad on the baby as the drug is. Abby was born perfect without a problem at all. There are obviously some A/D's that you wouldn't want to take, but some are "safer" than others.
All that to say, take care of yourself. Keep an eye on it and if it starts getting bad, let your OB know.

I'm annoyed with myself. I've been putting off calling my endocrinologist to see if I needed to come in this year, and now they don't have an appt until May.
It's not that big of a deal, but I don't even know why I procrastinated in the first place, well it's because I get tired of going to the doctors, but still. Procrastination never wins, when will I learn.
Jackson has his 3rd snow day today. Seriously. Our roads are not only clear, they are dry. Allegedly there are some bad roads in our county, but I have no idea where. I was shocked his school was closed yesterday, let alone today! This also means that mine and Scarlett's usual activities are overloaded with kids out of school too, which kind of blows.
I don't know what we're going to do today, though, but we need to do something so I don't end up on the news.

This is the drawback to county schools. We have the same issue here. Out in the country the roads are bad, but in town where 90% of the kids live they are fine.
I swear the owners of the bouncy places are in cahoots with the county to get extra business

My parents were at my house 2 hrs earlier than they are supposed to be last night. We got home from work to find or entire driveway plowed and then shoveled to the blacktop.
I took this Buzzfeed What Career You Should Have Quiz and I got Designer.
Yes. I think that sounds about right.
You got: Designer
You are an artist, creative juices are oozing out of you. You’d make just as good of a designer as you would an architect, as long as you get to create something. You live your life like Michelangelo, constantly looking for the sculpture within the stone. Other occupations: architect, editor.

Aw, this was me for about three weeks after the new year. I felt down and sad and tired and like I couldn't get out of my own way, but in the last week or so I've been feeling better. I hope things look up for you soon!
