Its "OK" Thursday 9/13

"Its OK"
 
- That my dishwasher decided to call it quits the day my 4 new boxes of dishes arrived. After looking at the boxes for a few days, I couldn't take it any more and decided to wash them all by hand. Dishwashers hate me. I have only had this dishwasher for 9 months. The repair man cannot come out until Monday. I have dish pan hands.


-That after not exercising or eating very good for a week, I am back on track. I walked 6 miles yesterday. I walked the lake with a friend, came home, cooled off, then did my neighborhood walk. Could there be a correlation with my miserable attitude and lack of exercise lately? I think so.
 

-That my kids and immediate family are giving me a major meltdown lately. How much more can I give/do? Mom guilt is never ending.

 

-That I think the son that I never had was appalled at the things my daughter and I talked about when he came over for dinner on Monday.
We just try to make each other laugh during the day to pass the time. We are sickos.
 

-That I completed my first craft project in years. I made a wreath. I am happy with the outcome. Now my daughter and my mother both asked me to make them one. It gives me something to do.

-That at this time next week, I will be in NYC. I need the break. I have a list a mile long of things I want to do. I will be on my own during the day for two days.
 
 

-That I always teased my daughter that I wanted to take my favorite grand baby. She told me I could have her the other day. She is starting the terrible two's. I gave my daughter the heads up that 3 is worse. I told her I would take her when she is 5.
 

-That whoever invented face time is a genius. I love being able to see my little princess on a day to day basis.

-That it has been gorgeous out and I am trying to be outside as much as possible. I am dreading the winter.

-That I am trying to hold it together this week but I feel like a boiling pot. I am just waiting for the boil over. I just hope I don't explode.
 

-That I did horribly in the football pool this past week. I will be doing some research this week so that I can do better.

-That in the daylight I think I am seeing the beginning of a turkey gizzard. I will be slathering my neck with anything I can find. I wonder if I wrap it in saran wrap if it will work better? That will be quite the treat for my family to see.
 

-That after 47 years, I have finally figured out men. While I am thinking of all the cute outfits I will put together with my new boots, my husband is thinking of what I will look like in JUST the boots.
When it comes down to it, men are simple creatures. I guess they are easier to please than we think.
 

-That my mother was making fun of me for still doing my daughters laundry. She thinks I spoil her. Meanwhile she gets up at 5:30 in the morning to make coffee, pack a lunch (sometimes she even packs pudding with a spoon) to send my brother, who is 43, off to work. He still lives at home. Pot meet kettle.
 

-That I need to stop procrastinating right now and get out and walk. Maybe it will help my bad attitude.
 



Have a great Thursday!

  2. LOL, I think that time in New York is just what the doctor might order! I know that misery loves company, so just to let you know, I did pretty crappy in my football pool this week as well! But heads up, I think I started off last year in the crapper, but steadily got better as the year wore on. It's hard to read these teams when they are just getting started! Laundry? Now, I will say that my girls did their own laundry from the time they could reach the dials on the washer. I was nowhere near supermom. I worked full time and took care of my alzheimer mother, so to this day I still do not feel guilty about it! Enjoy your day, things will get better!!!

  3. So jealous... I haven't been to NYC in, like, five years, and I want to go back SO bad! My firm has a New York office, though... perhaps I need to find an excuse to do some work up there. :)

  4. Glad your walk made you feel better. Sorry that you are struggling with some family issues - if it's not the kids driving me crazy it's my MOM! UGH

    Thanks for the advice on how men think - in my world it's heels - any pair of heels. LOL

    Hope you do better this week with your football pool - it's so hard to predict!

  6. I have been extra crabby too but I think it's because we have our company user conference on Tuesday and no one in the office is ready with their presentations. I was given a list as long as my arm of to do's to get done and thought I had a helper. I was wrong. By next Wednesday I will be a wrung out noodle! Oh and I have had the noodle neck for 7 years now! Coincidental that I am 7 years older than you? Maybe?? :-) Now, go for another walk. Do it for me!!
