It's Wednesday

Good morning! How goes it? 

I'm cranky as fuck because I suspect it's that time of the month when I get cranky as fuck even though I don't get a real period and I'm really tired today. H and I went to the Devils game and got home around 10. A lot of Christmas gifts I've ordered were delivered so I wanted to open and inspect everything and then shower so I didn't have to do it this morning. So, by the time I got in bed it was well after 11 :neutral: 

H and I finally picked out a rug for the living room and it was one of the things delivered yesterday. It's more blue than it appeared online but I think I like it? This isn't where it'll lay (it'll be pushed back more into the corner, behind the couch) but we are trying to get the ends to stop curling under so it's just out in the middle of the room for now and everything's completely disheveled:



Lucy and Brody are doing thorough inspections, as you can see. 

I have to get the house cleaned up and go food shopping either tonight or tomorrow night because I have company staying over on Friday. I'm leaning towards doing all of that tonight because H will be home to help. I'm also really trying to get back to the gym but there is just not enough fucking time in the day. 

I hope everyone else is in a better mood today than I am!

    @TwoDimes - At least you've gotten your gift out! I don't think I'll be able to send mine until early next week :tired_face:

    Not too cranky today, thankfully!  Although I would MUCH rather be at home, I'm at work with my box heater going and feeling nice and snug, munching on a PBJ.

    My SS gifts are ready to go out!  I really hope my SS lady likes them.

    @minskat30 - A lady in our Spanish-speaking group at church reached out and patted my stomach last week and said, "You didn't tell us you were pregnant!" I was in such shock that I just mumbled, "Um, that's fat, yeah."  What is with people!

    I really like the rug @Swazzle - glad it has been pet-approved!

    @CocoBellaF oh hell no!!! I would have hit her.  Even if you are showing already, that is not ok for anyone to touch you.

    Hola. 
    @swazzle I love the rug, but I love that Snoos more! 
    @minskat30 one of my favorite memories with my mom was telemarketers trying to ask for her. They hacked her name up horribly. We made a game out of letting them stumble through, laughing our asses off all the while, and then when it was clear that they just couldn't pronounce it we'd say "Stop stop stop hahahaha" and then pronounce it correctly for them. We had some top favorites. After she passed, it was harder to laugh at it. I'd usually cut them off, correct it and tell them she was no longer with us. I had one guy who just wouldn't stop pushing to speak with her, he was being terribly rude. I finally scream/cried at him that unless he had an effing direct line to heaven he wasn't gonna talk with her, and if he did I wanted the number. (I really didn't mean for this to turn into something sad - my bad. Rough morning.)
    *****************
    As I was saying up there ^^ I had a rough morning. Something popped up on my Timehop app about both Mom and Slowy and I've spent the last hour choking back tears. As much as I said I was excited for christmas yesterday, today I'm feeling anxious and sad about it. I guess the transition back to happiness isn't going to be as smooth and easy as I'd hoped. Two steps forward, one step back, right? Ugh.

    We're also dealing with Bean falling WAY behind in just about ALL of his classes. I've spent the last two days emailing with his teachers, lecturing him and trying to help him get caught up, and emailing his guidance counselor. He went from As and Bs 4 weeks ago, to all Fs except in 2 classes. I'm feeling at a loss. This parenting shit is harder than ever. I always had mom to help guide me, and guide him. Sometimes it feels like we're on a deserted island now.

    In bright news, I got word from the contractors that all the work (except for backsplash and paint) will be done Friday! I am sooooo excited!

    @swazzle The rug looks nice. I love how Brody & Lucy are inspecting it.  I'm in a real crappy mood as well.

    @minskat30 I hope the business trip goes well and things aren't too awkward with your ex boss.

    I had dinner with a good friend last night who is in NJ for the next few weeks it was nice to see her.  She gave Chris & I a dragonfly ornament for Anneliese, so it's on our Xmas tree now. I feel tired and crabby I did not sleep well last night.  I had a dream I was restoring an old carousel.  It's so random and pretty funny.  I am trying to get out of this funk I've been in the past few days.   I got to some reading and relaxing with H last night so that was fun too.  This work day is going to drag.  I can just tell.

    @beanbot2002 - you can do this!  Your mom is still guiding you.  Lots of love and hugs.

    @peaseblossom55 - I agree with you, this week (and today) is going to drag on and on and on.

    @jenjen047 OMG 6 weeks!!! How did your fitting go? What's next on your wedding agenda?

    @beanbot2002 It's ok to not be happy. My BFF lost her mom probably 7 years ago now and not every single day is easy, not every day is always happy, and that's 100% ok. She's your mom and incredible and special person. You don't have to put on a brave and happy face all the time.

    I'm sorry Bean is having a rough time in school. I'm sure part of it is his age, teenagers are just crazy. Do you think part of it could be his soccer program too? It may help him to start a daily agenda if he doesn't have one already and schedule in time for homework and studying and soccer practice.

    Finally, yay! You almost have a kitchen again!

    @beanbot2002 - Hugs.  I do feel like loosing someone that important to you is more like one step forward, five steps back sometimes.  I know your mom is watching down from heaven on you guys and encouraging you from up there.  I'm sure the situation with Bean is just making things all the more frustrating.  What happened that he got so far behind?  Was he just not telling you about his work?  My nephew is 15 and goes through stages of doing great at school then falling way behind (hiding his work) from my sister and the family.  He (my nephew) does it when he gets overwhelmed sometimes.  Is Bean overwhelmed with things around the holidays too?

    @labro - I'll provide bump pics when it isn't just a larger pooch.  I'm still not sure it isn't the chocolate cake I've been eating my way through.  ;)  I'm sorry you are feeling stressed.  Can you do something tonight to try and make yourself feel better?  A bath with a glass of wine?  It sounds like you need a break.

    @CocoBellaF @minskat30 If you guys can donate some vacation time my way that'd be excellent. :)

    Also @speakeasy14 Thanks for the puppies and the hugs. Work is just really rough. And talking about money with H is always the hard thing I struggle with.

    @labro @minskat30
    Most of the work he's not turning in is all classwork, so I don't know that soccer is effecting that. And if he does have homework (which is actually rare - his school doesn't assign a whole lot) he doesn't tell us, or lies when we ask (because we ask most days just to be sure and to offer help/support). His teacher that emailed said he's been talking a lot in class and if he doesn't hover over Bean, then he does nothing the whole class. I just sometimes feel very defeated in trying to motivate him. I don't know what else we can do that we haven't already tried. I know that some of it is just him being a teenager, but it just drives me bonkers.

    @beanbot2002 I know at one of my middle schools we had to write all at home assignments in our agenda and have the agenda signed off on each evening by a parent. It kind of got around the whole "Oh, I don't have homework today". I know this doesn't help with not doing the in-class stuff, but maybe something like this would help.

    Bean sounds like I did my senior year where I just pretty much quit doing anything. He's too young for senioritis!

    @labro they have an agenda notebook, but he never writes crap down. That's actually what I asked the guidance counselor about yesterday in my email. I want to do that or some kind of weekly progress report. His spanish teacher is on board, it's just a matter of getting the rest of the teachers to agree to it. Some of his teachers seem hesitant, and I think it's because at this stage they really feel that he should hold the responsibility. I agree with that, but I think we need to monitor it a bit closer since he's falling behind. In other words, they think weekly agenda sign offs are for grade schoolers and he's in 8th and they shouldn't have to hold his hand, kind of thing. I'm pushing for it though. She hasn't emailed me back yet, so I'll be calling the school in just a minute to follow up and see if she got my email.
