I was supposed to work out today but canceled bc I’m behind in work. I need to go to a doctor bc my levels of exhaustion are out of control. I can’t get anything done.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham

I’ve been fighting a horrible cold for 2 weeks. I cannot wait to feel better and get back to working out. I feel gross. I started a new job a few weeks ago. It’s a big promotion and great opportunity, but I am really struggling balancing work and being a mom. I feel like I’m failing DS right now. I need to figure this out or the new job won’t be worth it.
It’s a snow day here, but not for me. We NEVER close. My boss is super obnoxious about it, too. I’m slowly getting ready, but know I need to step it up b/c it’s only going to get worse later I leave. At least DH is here and feeling strong enough to have DS home with him all day. I suspect there will be a lot of Lego building and Mandalorian watching.
So very glad it's Friday and a long weekend. No meetings today either, so I'm planning to knock out the last of my task list that has just gotten longer and longer this week, and hopefully get home early. I have to go help out with set up for a school event, but my kids are not into staying for it so I told the rest of the PTA board that I was only going to be there for the first half hour of the actual event. And then it's a lovely long weekend of baking projects, crafts, and relaxing.
DS (6) is such a night owl. He was still awake at 9:30 last night (bedtime is 8-8:30), and since DH has an afternoon flight today and isn't going to work, we let him stay up. He happily did the last little bit of homework he had that was a struggle to get him to do earlier. What the heck kid.
I bought my husband a brand new La-Z-Boy recliner in December and it got delivered this week. His old chair was on its deathbed. They are both ugly as sin, but the old chair is freaking maroon, at least the new one is brown. Anyway, the old one is still in my living room. He's hemming and hawing about whether or not he wants to throw it out or donate it. We live near a college and it's the perfect chair for a frat house, but he's emotionally attached or something LOL I get it, he's had the chair for 22, yes that's 22 years, it's time to let it go.
We have no actual plans for the weekend other than the normal sleepovers and running around for basketball games, and I'm kind of looking forward to the lower key weekend.
I got a broken window replaced on my car on Wednesday and have to take my car back in on Monday because the installer did a really shitty job and I'm annoyed. The trim was literally falling off before I even took possession of the car. It really chaps my ass that someone thought that they did "good enough" and put that out there as their final product. And now I have to spend time on my day off going back to get it fixed. Would you ask for anything off of the bill? I already paid it at this point, so I'm not sure if it's worth it.
Dh is between jobs. He is a contract employee, the contract changed to a new company and he has an offer from them just waiting to be brought on so he seems to have some time off.
I spoke with him about it and told him he should pick up more responsibilities around the house (I do like 97%). He agreed. He made dinner last night, posted it on facebook and everyone is acting like he is the second coming of Jesus.
I think it's highly possible that I have made 4,500 meals since we moved in together, but he is getting all this praise. I'm really irritated.
No actually Nikki, I had to hire a lawn service because he never got around to mowing the lawn which was literally his only chore. I've almost left him twice because of this shit, so maybe let's just hold on giving him the medal of honor.
So petty and bitchy but I had to get it out somewhere!

I have an impacted wisdom tooth that has to come out. Yesterday afternoon I was in so much pain, I was able to get an appointment with the dentist (confession- I have never been to the dentist before, I have never had any issues with my teeth before yesterday) and they did xrays and saw that my tooth needs to come out. I was able to schedule with an oral surgeon and my surgery is on January 28, that is the earliest I could get after calling 5 places. :/. I got some antibiotics and some pain meds. Oh, and I have no cavities! So yay me.
My H is home today and said he would take ds to school this am, well my H let my ds walk to school by himself. My h stood at the corner and watched him walk all the way to the school grounds. He walked safely and confidently. I was not ready for that level of independence this morning but my ds obviously is.

We have the most awesome, lovey foster dog this week but even though she did great with cats in a previous foster home, my cat and her are terrible together. Usually my cat can put a dog in it's place and that's that. Not with this dog. So my poor cat has been shut in the laundry room all week . That's where his bed, foot, litter are anyway but it's normally free range for him to come and go. She's only here until Sunday anyway but I know that's too much for my cat. I've asked for the rescue to find her another foster but I feel so crappy about it. she really is such a great dog, but she's 9 years old with lymphoma and hypothyroid, so the rescue is having a hard time finding a forever home for her. It sucks.
I complained about my knee last night and it is still hurting like crazy today. I had the worst time sleeping. Clearly I need to go to the doctor but with a new job came new insurance so that means extra research into figuring out where I can go. Plus timing an appointment without being too needy at said new job. Ugh.

January in Virginia Beach is insane. This week alone we had a few days in the 60-70s, and today it's back down to 30s. With the crazy temp changes I've had a sinus pressure headache all week. Add that to the fun perpetual pregnancy nausea and exhaustion = I've been completely useless.
Our new house is only 50% unpacked, and we still have stuff to move from the old house before we close in 2 weeks. I'm feeling overwhelmed.
My teeth aren’t perfect. I have crooked teeth and an over bite, my teeth aren’t white but the aren’t horribly discolored. .
Growing up going to the doctor or getting sick was not dealt well by my mom and is traumatic for me and makes me feel shame and like an inconvenience. I am working with my therapist that my body and my health matter. Since I had my pulmonary embolism in 2016 and dealing with that and with my broken ankle surgery it’s been a work in progress.
Funny story is my twin sister doesn’t have the doctor issues I have and she has been going to the dentist since she got married 22 years ago and had health insurance and she goes for her cleanings and has had braces and her smile is beautiful.
So I am proud of myself for not sitting with the pain and actually going. So that was a big step.

Today is our anniversary. We live in the midwest and got married on the beach in Florida. I'd really like to get to the point where we can start spending our anniversaries where it's warmer.
It is FREEZING here today, and I didn’t sleep well last night because the win was so crazy it kept waking me up. Winds like that and a 115 year old house with original windows makes me nervous! DS1 has a skiing thing he does every Friday night and he’s going to completely freeze - I have about 6 layers laid out for him lol.
DH is working based in Florida for the next 6-8 months (home on weekends) and is supposed to be home late tonight. I’m so ready for a semi break when he gets back.
Dh is between jobs. He is a contract employee, the contract changed to a new company and he has an offer from them just waiting to be brought on so he seems to have some time off.
I spoke with him about it and told him he should pick up more responsibilities around the house (I do like 97%). He agreed. He made dinner last night, posted it on facebook and everyone is acting like he is the second coming of Jesus.

Ugh, I'm so sorry. That is really irritating. On a related note I get REALLLLY tired of when DH takes our toddler out somewhere people act like he's the fucking messiah. It's called being a parent, look it up.

Good for you for working through this (and for going)! I hope you're feeling better, tooth pain is the suck.
I’m FINALLY getting my new couch today! I scheduled the 11:45-1:45 window. I can check my estimated delivery online. So far, it’s bounced around from 1:51 to 10:28 and just about everywhere in between. Luckily I only live 10 minutes away but I still need to have a general idea of when they’re coming.
It got cold here fast. Today is a rest day from working out; today i can finally sit down and get up with it killing me. But, I am excited to be getting back into a routine and this transformation challenge I joined.
I called a psychiatrist, so I will be seeing her soon and getting some long overdue help to manage my depression.
@ginandjuice24, It sounds like you're really working to overcome your fear, good for you! I hope you are able to get some relief from your current pain.
We are supposed to get a huge snowstorm so DH went to the store last night and bought tons of snacks. We plan to watch movies and eat all weekend.

I met up with 2 female friends the other day. One is married and has a baby. DURING a conversation about feminism, the other friend asked who she had left the baby with that night. Dude. His father. It's so ingrained to not even think hey, this kid has two parents, it's equally normal for him to be with either of them!

Thank you.
Enjoy your snow weekend, your plans sound awesome. I only like the snow when I don’t have to go out and when the kitchen is stocked with all our favorite foods.
I bought my husband a brand new La-Z-Boy recliner in December and it got delivered this week. His old chair was on its deathbed. They are both ugly as sin, but the old chair is freaking maroon, at least the new one is brown.
We got a lazy boy couch with recliners on both ends a couple years ago. It is hideous but so comfy and by far everyone's favorite place in the house.
My mom’s in surgery related to her brain cancer right now. They think getting a look and draining some fluid will help decide more treatment/what’s going on. It’s scary because besides walking with a cane, some trouble getting up from sitting and some weakness in her left hand, she is her usual self. We played cards and she beat me!
I’m hoping that they must think the outcome will be very good if they are going to risk surgery for someone who is basically living a normal life at home minus some left side weakness. It’s all so strange to me.
Anyway, fingers crossed it goes well and they don’t find anything new (the MRIs have been clear of tumors since June).

I don't have to go to campus today and can just do the few things I need to do (mostly class prep for next week) from home. Yay! I had plans to go work out and was all excited but then... Had a depressing conversation with DH first thing this morning about our sex life. I told him that wtvr we do is just not that good and not worth the effort. He put me on the spot and I tried to say it as diplomatic as possible but yeah things did not end well.
I am looking forward to having drinks with a friend this afternoon.

Oh, this new chair is amazing comfortable. We even upgraded to the Air Form cushion. There are much prettier recliners out there, but my H is a big guy, so I sucked it up and got the chair that fits him best. The good thing is, this chair might last 20 years as well, so the cost is a little easier to digest And we also have a reclining couch, but it isn't La-Z-Boy. It's still comfy though, and while not the most fashionable living room furniture, it's comfortable and that is what was important to us.

I am at the car dealership because I had a scheduled oil change. While here, one of the salespeople came up to me to talk about my lease (it's up in June). I'm likely going to do an early trade-in...so I asked for them to run the numbers without my H as a cosigner. Scary as shit, but a good step in the right direction. The sales guy asked if he was here, and I said, "nope, he's at home still sleeping." There was a bit of banter, and he nodded in understanding when I asked him to run the numbers with just me.
My DD1 has her biggest gymnastics meet tomorrow - it's a regional meet with several other gyms. She get MAJOR performance anxiety, so we didn't tell her exactly what this meet entails. She's excited about it but I'm worried she will flip out when she gets there. I'm not sure how to help her overcome her anxiety other than being positive with her and just...forcing her to do the meets. She's always fine once she gets started, but I feel so bad beforehand.
