I like your attitude N40Mom! I need to be more positive even when it seems like there is nothing to be super positive about. I suppose there is always good in something sorry for the crazy morning though.

Well. Our bathrooms at work are still a mess so we have to go upstairs and across the building every time we use the restroom. I drink a lot of water at work so this can be an issue. Bright side is that I get good walking in every time I have to go. Basically there is some issue with a pump? So the water is not draining and the bathrooms started overflowIng. Gross. Yesterday we even had water coming out of some sort of drain thing outside of the bathrooms. So basically I am just waiting for the whole basement area to flood with poo water. (Mostly joking)
Personally my house is currently a mess, I have been eating everything in sight, I haven't exercised in months and my kid is driving me to want to drink every night. So basically I've been very blah about everything lately.
It's really not as bad as all that but it sure seems like it some days. I keep saying that I'm going to get my shit together and do nothing.
Again, this is just petty whining, not anything serious. I just need to try to make a schedule and stick to it or something.

Thanks for the tears N40Mom. I'm crying at my desk. Good perspective to have. I know it's all relative but we should all remember how lucky we are to be here with our babies.

Also, When we moved to OK, we had planned on being here 5 years. We have generated a bit of debt throughout the years which has caused a good amount of stress for me. We are finally in a place where we can pay most of it down/ off within the next couple of years so of course now he wants to move back to TX where I would need to find a new job, etc, which will undo everything I have been working toward. But I can't blame him really either because his job situation might get significantly harder here due to a state budget crisis. So I guess we will just have to see how this all shakes out.
NO! spacedcadet was my twin! This past weekend she was all "I say everything that N40Mom says!" and now I'm out of the group.
spacedcadet, how soon would you all be considering moving?
@giamia923, my office is the exact same. I have my space heater on but they switched the office systems from heat to ac yesterday so the ac is on at the same time as my space heater. I have dueling air streams.
so now you can be twins with me too lol back in the group!

It would be in the summer. Around June maybe. Every time we move it is a time crunch. I would like to be able to prepare for once. And maybe have a job in place and maybe take more than a month to find, buy, and move into a house. I guess I would just like to do it right the next time but we will see. He should know something today about how things are looking for next year. And then we will talk about it more.
spacedcadet, I preface this with saying I know nothing about plumbing. Does it take that long to fix a pump? That's really inconvenient. As far as at home, it's hard to get on a schedule, or back to a schedule and at the end of the day cleaning or working out isn't a high priority. I hear ya!
designaddiction, it is all relative. But like I said, everything can't be "the small stuff compared to ...". I definitely wasn't all positivity this morning when I was 15 minutes late to work because of all the cat drama, but I have six cats, a dog and a toddler in a small house. How did this happen? And my husband wasn't of much help last night because he was making maple syrup until midnight. Like, tapped our trees and used a turkey boiler to melt it down or something? I don't know, I ignored it. All I can do is laugh.
I know very little about plumbing as well but apparently they have to order the pump and it will take a few days. We have had several issues with this building and we have only been here for 2 years. This is just another thing added to the list I guess. It is annoying though.
{trigger warning}One of my coworkers 2 month old son was diagnosed with cancer and were immediately sent out of state for treatment. He is almost exactly a year younger than G and it is hard to imagine having to go through that at 2 months old. It shook a lot of us up here at work. Thankfully he seems to be responding well to treatment and doing better. My coworker has mostly been out for the past few months but I talked to him yesterday and he seems in good spirits. I hope everything works out for ur friend and she is as good as new soon.

Ooh and N40Mom. Speaking of your five million cats, we currently have 4 and I had to follow one around this morning cleaning up after she threw up her food all over the living room. Thankfully it was just on the hardwood and not the carpet which has happened many times in the past.

N40Mom, I'm just so, so sorry about what your friend is going though. Reading about her reaction to her LO falling just breaks my heart.
And I agree with you fully that while very few things are as serious as cancer, what she's going through doesn't make anyone else's stresses feel less stressful. Sure, it helps with perspective, but doesn't diminish what others are going through.
When my mom died, I had a friend who was going through something, and she chose not to "bother" me with it. Which is fine, and I understood she was trying not to "bother" me because what she was going though "paled in comparison" to what I was going through. But it was the biggest thing in her life at that moment. I'm rambling, but I know what you mean.
I get an email at work everyday at 1:00 om reminding me to "be grateful." It's from our work's wellness site. Sometimes I jsut delete it. Other times, I do try to be mindful of all of the really wonderful things in my life. Sometimes it's really hard.

@adulruna - if you're ever feeling self conscious about being random, remember the bolded statements above...
I haven't been active the last week or so! Stopping in to say hey. I'm on mobile and it's hard to go back and tag everyone so I will just try to stay caught up that way!

spacedcadet I feel the exact same way about saying I will do something about myself and doing nothing in the end, eating and drinking all the things. I signed up for a boot camp that starts on Saturday. I realized I am doing a shit job of kicking my own ass so I'm going to pay someone else to do it for me!
Post by designaddiction on Mar 9, 2016 14:23:33 GMT -5
N40Mom send me some syrup! Do you bottle it for profit, like is your H a syrup farmer? Or are there just random trees you can have on your property that make syrup. I am uneducated in the syrup dept.

I am consudering signing up for a 5 k to get motivated but I know it will just end up being a week away and me going shit I haven't trained at all. I actually donenjoy working out for the most part, it's just the doing it that is the problem. I have thought about doing boot camp too. It sounds "fun". Good luck with it!

I am also taking some time out of the middle of my day to get my hairs did. Hoping I can be done in time for my 2pm work appt...that's in 1.5 hours. Color is already on my hair so I should be good, right?

I want to sign G up for all of the things but then I remember that it is just another obligation. I really want him to start gymnastics because I think he will like it and then definitely swimming this summer. I probably need to start looking into that now. We played in the baby pool a bit last summer and he loves "swimming" in the bath but we really do need to get some lessons in so he will know what to do later on.
