Vent: DH injured his foot at yoga. I don’t understand. But it meant he spent all of yesterday moaning and couldn’t cook dinner cause he couldn’t stand, so that I (the only football fan in the house) cooked dinner by dashing to the kitchen during every commercial.
I have no sympathy for this. He has something to complain about every single day from the moment he wakes up and I am all out of concern.
Especially because... Celebration: THE EAGLES ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL. WOOOOO!
shakinros The Eagles showed up yesterday! Should be a great game! I’m wondering if Gronk will be back. That was a wicked hit he took. Definitely rattled his brain.

Celebration: I'm finally feeling well enough to work out again. I've managed to run 6 miles and go to 3 CF classes in the last week.
Vent: I woke up with a pounding headache this morning and it's not going away. I also am not losing any weight. I feel like I've been watching what I eat, but it's not working. Normally I can watch what I eat for a few days and the scale drops a few pounds. This time I'm stuck. It's frustrating.
Several years ago, I gave DH an ultimatum. Last night, he violated it in a huge way. I have moved into the guest room until I can figure out my next move. I’m angry, sad, and disgusted. I can’t talk to anyone about it, and it’s hard to put on a happy face for the kids when I have all these emotions swirling and I’m running on no sleep. I don’t have a job, and it will be hard to find one comparable to what I had that will allow me to be there for our kids and keep myself together. I need to think everything through.
My head hurts. My heart hurts. So I’m trying to focus on other silly things like the SUPERBOWL!!! BRADY!! GOAT!!!
I'm not a football fan, but I am looking forward to Super Bowl food.
No real vents except it is Monday. I have a board meeting today for a local drug treatment center. I missed the last meeting and they voted me secretary. Yay.

I have been logging everything into My FitNess Pal since Christmas and cutting back and I am still at my highest weight in 8 yrs. I'm lifting heavier, but I don't think that is it. It's being over 40, my metabolism sucks.
It's January and its pouring rain outside, my street is already flooded, and it's supposed to turn into 3 inches of snow tonight. The roads are going to be bad. Also, someone smasher my christmas decorations (lights that are still up because they are stuck into the group with stakes), I am not impressed.

shakinros, congrats to your Eagles! I guess I’ll be rooting for them because I want someone else to win the Super Bowl
I got a lot done this weekend, including putting one coat of paint on my son’s room. It took forever and I didn’t get to relax at all yesterday but I’m glad I got it started. His room was full of white marks where I had filled holes - it looked horrible. I wanted to get both coats done but it looks like I’ll have to do that later. I also need to paint his molding and closet doors and eventually the ceiling.
I was really looking forward to my run in the forest preserve on Sunday until I saw news reports of a cougar sighting in my county. It’s a large county but still...I’m worried enough about people jumping out at me, much less a huge cat! Unfortunately, the trails were still covered with snow and ice so I had to go on the roads.
DD made the basketball team at school and I was just putting the games into the calendar. I could hyperventilate with all of the kid activities going on in the next three months. DD band events, both kids in basketball and religious ed - but it’s not just RE, it’s that both are making sacraments this year - DD Confirmation and DS 1st Communion. Just trying to breathe over here.

sweetptater, I’ve always believed that weight loss has momentum to it. You don’t see results at all until one day you’ll wake up and finally feel and see the weight loss.
I’m sorry mae0111. I’m not very good at putting a happy face on when I’m mad at DH. Can you put feelers out for consulting work?
Celebration: SUPERBOWL!!! I'll just say - it was a good thing my kids were not home during the game yesterday. DH, me, and our best friend were yelling a lot of things at the TV... It was such a good game!
mae0111, I've got to have faith that Gronk will be back. He's got some time to heal... But it was definitely a nasty hit.
Vent-ish: DH wanted a specific sweatshirt for his birthday, so I ordered it for him and paid for rush shipping to get it in time. It showed up on Friday and he opened the package. Turns out, he ordered himself the exact same sweatshirt, on the exact same day I ordered mine! So he assumed it was his order when it showed up at the house. I was so frustrated. Who buys a $100 sweatshirt 3 days before your birthday, when that is at the top of your wish list?! So now he has two. He doesn't care, he's happy to have 2, but I'm annoyed at how anti-climactic the gift was.

Day 3 of the government shutdown. I'm essential so I have to be at work. I'm tired of hearing my coworkers complain about not being able to pay their bills. We are still getting our next paycheck (minus Saturday for me) on time because they processed the pay before the shutdown. Plus we make good money, so no one that has been here for a number of years should be living paycheck to paycheck. It makes me thankful that I have my 6 month e-fund. I'll be anxiously awaiting the noon vote today.
I went to my great uncle's funeral on Saturday. He was 96 and the last of my late grandpa's 7 brothers. It was deja vu because his wife had passed away in November, so it was the same group of family and friends, same pastor. There was a memorial and reception at their church after the graveside. I ended up leaving the reception right away because my social anxiety set in. I panicked about the idea of having to make small talk with some people I hadn't seen in years and decided to leave. I sat in my car thinking about needing to go back in but couldn't do it.
DD and I had a great time at the women’s march. Girls had Saturday night games. Then...DD puked and tested positive for the flu. Seriously y’all no one else can get it. I can’t handle it. I wear a mask when I go in her room. I’m not messing around.

Vent: I was not mentally prepared to have to take an extra overnight trip OOT this sales season or be this f'ing busy prepping for meetings. Asshole really screwed my expectations of me coasting through my last sales season without extra work or schedule rearranging. As shallow as it is, I am going to have to miss one of my last 3 crossfit classes this week and reschedule my hair appointment that I have next week and I actually NEED a haircut this time.
Celebration: It's cleaning lady day, DD is starting to sleep until 6 or 7 after her wake up between 9:30 and 10, DS only threw one fit this morning, and I could be annoyed that DH showed up at my office and half jokingly tried to get lucky but I'm choosing to be thankful he still finds me attractive 10 years later even with an extra 25 pounds.
2chatter - I’m a nut with sickness. Do you have enough bathrooms for a sick one and well one/few? If I can’t santitze silverware/dishes, sick kid gets their own until Christmas can boil. Bleach everything. Purcell does not work in a pinch. I buy this instead: www.walmart.com/ip/Clorox-Hand-Sanitizer-2-Fl-Oz/30353621
It kills EVERYTHING.
If there’s laundry, wear gloves and carry it in a basket. Just gathering it up is a quick way to get sick.
I have a horrible cold. There is so much pressure in my head. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it through the work day. Having such a hard time concentrating on anything.

Celebration: we finally set up our vacation dates for the year. It’s going to be a fun but hectic year! Phew.
Vent: we have a rat in the attic (this sounds awful but is very common in our area due to open space nearby) and the guy we hired to take care of it was 2 hours late yesterday and didn’t have everything he needed so had to go to Home Depot, then got a flat and so what was supposed to start at noon started at 6pm. He did text to start at 3 instead of noon but still I feel like I spent att day Sunday waiting around for him.
sandandsea I’m sorry you have to burn your house down. That would be the only option for me. I used to live near the water so the giant wharf rats were common. I knew that. But when I actually saw one scurrying toward my basement door, I moved. I literally made the decision on the spot, packed my stuff, rented out my condo, and moved.
You sound much more reasonable than me... hope the guy got that bugger out of your attic.

For what it's worth, your reaction to this is completely reasonable to me. 100% rational and reasonable decision making happened after you saw that rat.

Hugs, mae0111. I hope your H figures out how wrong he was and fast.
Hugs to you, too, supertrooper1. Social anxiety sucks. I'm states away from my family and have to call when these things. I end up having to gear up for it all day, knowing that I will be terrible and awkward no matter how much I care.
I am meeting with the attorney for my kids tomorrow and I'm freaked the F out. I cannot wrap my head around the scenario and every time I try to talk it out, I end up crying. Do not want to cry in front of law guardian. I'm going to make a talking points sheet and hope it keeps me focused.
DS is super sick. I noticed his breathing was weird on Saturday morning at like 3am, and we slept on the couch together, and by morning, he sounded fine. Same thing Saturday night. Yesterday he was himself. Last night he was up... all night. Fever. Around 4:30, he started again with weird very shallow, very slow breathing. We called the advice line and DH has an appointment for him at 8:30 and I'm annoyed that I have to be at work when really I just want to be home with my baby. Normally I do all the sick child stuff, but DH is not currently staffed on a project, so it just makes more sense for him to be home with him.

I'm not logging, but I should probably start. I'll be 38 this year and my metabolism isn't what it used to be. I guess just cutting back won't work for me anymore. I'm within a couple of pounds of my highest weight so solidarity there.
sandandsea, we had a mouse (or maybe a baby rat, not sure) when we first moved in. And it was while DH was traveling, so I was left to deal with it. I set out glue traps everywhere, never caught anything. But also never saw it or signs of it again. But for months I was terrified I'd find it.
HeartofCheese, Guessing he didn't go for your last offer? Did you ask for the guardian or did he? If you asked, just be prepared to talk about what you want, and what your concerns are. If he asked then be prepared to answer the guardian's questions. If the court assigned one I have no idea what to expect. Probably prepare for both sides.

Hugs mae0111 and HeartofCheese. I know we're internet strangers here, but feel free to vent/talk it out/get advice, no judgement here. I'm sorry you're going through rough times.
