feeling grumpy, and close to being overwhelmed.
So, humor me while I bitch and then try to turn them around.
1) lost 4 pounds over thanksgiving while taking steroids for asthmatic bronchitis and pneumonia and eating the majority (2/3) of a chocolate pecan pie and weighed less than I did before I got preggo with DS1 (?? how this happened I don't know), but have been eating like a pig in the five days since I got weighed at the doc and am afraid I gained it back.
2) am taking oceanography at local community college, which is interesting and gets me discount at daycare because it makes me a student, and I remember now why I did not get along with my 5th grade science teacher. graduated from law school with honors, top 99.9% LSAT score, and I got a 58 on the midterm and now have to take the 5 quizzes I didn't take while sick as a dog, and study for the final which is tuesday.
3) need to catch up at work.
4) am going on cruise this weekend, where will attend seminar for cle credits. is always fun, but would rather just have time trying to bake cookies, get organized, write cards, study oceanography, buy presents, etc. and, since lungs are still damaged, shouldn't be in smoky areas, which the bars and casinos and discos are, and the wives of the guys who go on cruise aren't really my friends and will always give me cr@p if I don't want to drink like a fish and hang out in smoky areas and dance. I can't dance, I never get to sleep at home with two small kids, which they have probably forgotten about since their kids are older, and I hate smoky places. Plus, we have been away every other weekend for a long weekend in november, and I feel behind in everything.
5) My paperwork is out of control. I have so many checks from my insurance that I need to cash and then pay my physical therapist for, and some are expired, and I have to sort them out and organize them, but half are at home and half are at work, and at work I have to work and at home I have to do everything.
6) I have a rash on my arms from the flu shot.
7) have not done all christmas shopping (or even most) and do not have good phots for stupid card.
8) have not made christmas cookies
9) goodwill is coming tomorrow and DH is threatening to throw out "toys that he thinks the kids don't play with" . how would he know, he is never here. I weeded them out, and they don't have all that many, we just have no space - no toyroom, basement, attic, etc. and need more bookshelves and better storage. and if i don't agree with him, he gets pissy and yells and says I am being difficult. and then wonders why I am not nice to him.
OK. Let's turn them around now and get some perspective.
1) If I lost the 4 pounds and got to that weight I can do it again, and if not, I am still a very nice size and a healthy weight.
2)the grade doesn't matter, and I have gotten 3 of the 8 quizzes out of the way, with As. and, it is really interesting, and saves me $$
3) I am making good progress at work and am not wasting time "talking" to my buddies here at BBB. And, I have my job, a good one.
4) I am going on a cruise, and its only 4 nights. and the kids are with MIL. so pooh on the old biddies and I will relax and try to shop for gifts in the ports and duty free. I am lucky to be able to go
5) I can tackle my paperwork 15 minutes at a time, and will schedule a lunch hour to do next week, then treat myself to a good dinner that night
6)the rash is not on my face.
7) can do shopping on cruise, online, and what's wrong with a new year's card anyway ??
8) if I don't make the cookies, I won't eat them. And I do love publix's christmas cookie tray. mmmmm.
9) if that SOB throws away anything that the boys do play with, I will just pilfer his credit card and replace it. But, the boys really do have alot of toys, and it would be nice to share with less fortunate kids.
OK, done. Copayment for this therapy session can be made out to BBB ??
