I hardly slept last night again so I'm going to be a cranky mess today too. Totally stressing about everything needing to be done.

[TR]

I really need a vacation. I'm finding myself just getting annoyed with everyone and everything for no good reason, lol.

[mommadukes]

ugh I puked Sunday night for 4 hours. lunch either did not agree w me or it was all the food I ate the night before. I'm still recovering, as my body os aching. I finally got to eat today.

[jigsy]

I am having a really hard time concentrating and staying focused at work. I don't know if it's because I don't like what I am doing or if its the side effects of my meds or what...but I just cannot concentrate.

I just got off the phone with a recruiter at a staffing agency...she reaffirmed what I am most afraid of, I am priced out of the roles I want. I am not afraid to take a lower level position and work my way up, but I need to make a sufficient amount of money, and the more entry level positions I would like just don't pay enough.

I am not really entry level, but I don't have the industry experience I am trying to shift to...so I feel like I am just kind of stuck now.

A friend I haven't seen in a while randomly asked me to dinner tonight since she'll be in our small town for a haircut. I'm excited to see her and grab some margaritas. I need them after work today.

I just discovered that the corrective fluid you use is called "wite out" and not "white out". I have been writing it as WHITE and also pronouncing the "H"...my entire life.

This work place is/was messed up big time before I got here and people are questioning when I state the proper way. Half the time I just want to respond "WTF did I just say?"

I went to my Crossfit class at 5AM and at 5:30PM because DD2 is with her Dad for a week and I have no life. I am so sore but plan on doing it again. 5AM done now to do it again at 5:30PM..... We have a woman who does the regularly back to back and I do not know how she does it.

I really need to write but hanging out with my family is more fun at this point. At least I've been good at applying to jobs while I've been here. I have an interview on Monday that I'm excited about. I have zero experience working in the specific role, but working for the company might be fun.

Working out (hard!) every 12 hours seems...not great for your body.

Ditto, this is a recipe for an injury.  Find something else to occupy your time during one of the classes.

I'm starting a 14 day transformation program. My first appointment (orientation, nutrition...) is tomorrow and then I can pick the day I want to start the actual program. This is the mini version of the "lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks" challenge than many of my FB friends are doing. That challenge costs $500 and if you lose 20 lbs or more in 6 weeks you get your money back or can roll it into a 2nd 6 week program. I don't have that kind of money to spend on that so I'm going to try the $14 for 14 days challenge. For each pound I lose, I'd get $10 off if I rolled into the 6 week challenge, but it would still be too pricey for me right now. And, I'm assuming I'd have to start the 6 weeks right after this one. So, hopefully I'll at least see something within the 14 days since that's all I can do.

And on the complete opposite side of this... I'm going to the candy store to get Easter chocolate after work. I am so excited for some orange chocolate!!! I think I'll start my 14 day challenge AFTER Easter

[liubot]

Shoulders and biceps are sore from being back on the salon floor. Blowouts really work your stuff!
Snuggling with my little girl on the couch even though she hasn't been the best eater lately. I hope she will have a snack later.
I got two calls for job interviews so that sounds very promising.
No tears today and 10 days sober. 110 days until graduation.
I'm already exhausted lol.

I just splurged on an adorable outfit for baby's newborn pics and I'm ridiculously excited!

[sweetchix]

I just realized that I had been "following" someone here who hasn't posted since 2012?!? I had seen it before in my profile but I always thought that she was following me. Lol. Nope. I somehow started following her. Oops. Not any more.

There is a single girl in the group that DH and I hang with. Last year, she and another girl (who I consider my BFF) had a huge blow out over BFF's boyfriend. Single girl (SG) now has a boyfriend, but the blow out last year was partly because she said that she felt that she was entitled to "extra attention" from the guys in the group because she didn't have a SO. I had an issue with her thinking that my H was some kind of consolation prize. DH, who has a pretty serious white-knight complex going on, felt bad because she didn't have a someone special. 
Fast forward to now, and there have been times that I'm not 100% sure about my marriage. SG, for some reason, seems to still feel that she's entitled to extra attention from DH. I don't know that she's trying to break up my marriage, but I know that she likes the ego boost she gets when DH pays attention to her. I also know that she sees the tension between DH and I, because she told someone, but chooses to ignore it. 
Of course, my first instinct is to shank her. However, I also know that she doesn't owe me any kind of loyalty, so I need to talk to DH about this. I honestly don't know how he will take it. I also don't know what kind of resolution I am hoping for. Really, I don't even want to hang out with her, because I don't consider her a friend if she'd willingly get between DH and me. I'm just going to tell DH how I've felt, and what I've seen that's made me feel that way, and see what he says.

SG is no friend, I'd consider her a foe. She's selfish and clearly doesn't care about your marriage - if she were even a decent human being, she'd care enough to back off and support your marriage. I would drop her like a ton of bricks. Your husband should not be giving her extra attention, it's not cool especially if you are uncomfortable with it - your feelings should be the priority. Nope, I would cut off her off and never see her again. What a bitch. I'm pissed for you.

SG is a twat, but the issue is with your DH valuing her feelings over yours. And, let's not lie, I'm sure he kind of gets an ego boost from the attention she gives him, too. He's only human. But just the fact that it makes you uncomfortable should be enough for him to say, ok, we don't hang out with her anymore.

[bl]

mrs.Rad888 She is definitely not someone you need around, and she needs to take a deep look within if she feels the need to seek attention from married men, seriously WTF. I hope you can talk to your DH about your feelings and he can be mindful of his interactions to make you feel better.

Girl, you KNOW I have been in a similar position.  I mean, the girl never SAID she felt entitled to MH's attention, but she did think he should not move to be with me and stay close to her, soooooo.  Yeah.  Fortunately, when she told him he can't move, he had MY back and not hers and we left.  I had to break it down to him as, "If I had a straight guy friend (because all my guy friends are gay) who said/did what she did, how would YOU feel?"  He literally shut his mouth and his eyes got wide.  Yeah, wake up call, MH.  Bitch is not a friend of our marriage.  She has got to go.

We have not seen her since she told him he can't move.  I'm actually fine with still seeing her because all of MH's friends are in a group with her.  I trust MH BECAUSE he had my back when she said that.  BECAUSE he finally gets how she is inappropriate.  I trust he will shut down any further inappropriate behavior from her.  I would NOT have had the same trust a few months ago.

[Mrs.Rad888]

Thank you, ladies. You're all right, I have to talk to DH and hope that, even if he doesn't see what I do, the fact that it bothers me should be enough to stop hanging with her. I know he gets an ego boost from helping people, this time the ego boost he gets from siding with his wife will have to be more important to him than the one he gets from helping others.
