Bah humbug

Ugh, I’m so not into the Christmas spirit this year. I think working in retail for 9 years killed what little spirit I had pre-TJ’s. We haven’t even put up the tree this year and I’m pretty sure that’s not gonna happen. I keep thinking of all the crap I need to get done in the next seven days plus work. Post office tomorrow to mail the in-laws shit and send off cards to a few aunts and my grandpa. Then a trip to the mall for a few last minute gifts. Actually that’s not too bad, just means more running around and less relaxing on my weekend…

Okay whine whine whine . And I’m done.

All I want for Christmas is a massage. Let’s see if that happens. I do get a surprise extra day off next week so that should help my poor overworked body and yes that massage would really help too.


Dreams

And the crazy chantix dreams have begun!


Weekend

And there goes another week. The no smoking thing is going great. I’ve got CaRae’s class in the morning and then cleaning all day because we are having friends over Friday. I love the weekends.


Last day

Today is my last day of smoking. I started chantix Thursday and I have five cigarettes left in a pack I bought Friday. So after those five smokes are gone, I’m all done smoking hopefully forever! I know I can never ever under no circumstances ever put a cigarette in my mouth again or I’ll be right back to being hooked again. I’M DONE.


From my phone

Lu’s favorite new game, “play in the dark” where she turns all the lights off in the living room and hallway. Which is fine except I can’t see very well in the dark so I end up tripping on something every time she wants to play in the dark. She’s awesome 🙂


and I’m back…

sigh, I really do suck at keeping up with this thing. hah! I got a fancy new phone so I think I’ll be able to blog from that thing so hopefully I’ll be a bit more consistent.

So it’s December 1st. how the hell did that happen? How can time move so fast at times. I guess it helps when life is so busy busy busy that you barely even notice the weeks passing by.

okay, the little one is crying for mommy. gotta go!


ugh

so so so so depressed right now.  this rarely happens to me but I’m in the midst. I just wanna curl up and hide for about a week.


money money money

wish I had more, wish I could be smarter with what I have. sigh

the debt hole is hell. hard to climb out of but oh so easy to jump into.

thank goodness I can make all my payments. but just barely. and it doesn’t leave us with anything to save. things will get better, we will claw our way out of the hole. we will. I know it.


it’s friday night

just got paid…

hah

so far I’m enjoying my weekend. I actually napped today when Lu was at school and CaRae was sleeping. Unbelievable! I never nap, I’ve got way too much to do around here. So the dishes will wait and the laundry will too. The nap felt so good!

I’m so excited for my friend’s wedding in July. I bought my skirt today and found some shoes that I think will look great with it. But I couldn’t decide which color to get so I bought two pair, one turquoise and one navy and when the skirt arrives in the mail, I’ll decide.

My summer is filling up, busy every weekend throughout June and July except for one.

Lu has 6 more days of school, a week and a half of summer then summer school! I know summer school sounds horrible but for Lu, it’s the best thing possible. It will keep her busy and engaged and working on all the things she’s learned (social, communication, routine etc) throughout this school year. Then in the fall I’ll have a kindergartner!


update goodness

okay, yes, it’s been a few months since I started this blog, here’s what is going on…

I got a promotion at work and it’s been just wonderful!  longer hours, more pay, more responsibility.  it’s just great!  I think I’m doing a decent job of managing my home life with work as well.

We registered Lu for kindergarten! She’s also going to be attending summer school for 6 weeks which is awesome.

CaRae is in the throws of terrific two-hood.  She’s a super cute, super frustrating, wonderful, full of attitude, walking, running, talking little person.

G’s good and we are getting along wonderfully.

The money situation is improving, we’re slowing digging out of debt.

The summer holds a lot promise, a friend’s wedding, a couple of shows, a camping trip.  yay!
