CRAP!

Thats how I feel today, Like Crap!!! I know that most of it is probably related to PMS but not all of it.

Last week stress at work was at an alltime High we have about 150 Physician contracts to get renewed by the end of the year, so everyone was pulled off their projects to work on that, but we really did not seem to know what we were doing, we made the deadline on Friday for most things but not all things. Some of the contracts that did not get done were for a certain speciallty that my boss, the systems general counsel took to work on. If the boss is unable to adhere to a deadline how can he enforce one on us. A few of the agreements I did had a half page of performance criteria so I cut and pasted it to the botton of the renewal and was then told to put it back on 2 seperate pieces of paper. It was so wastefull especially when the rationale was "we have always done it that way in the past". While we were all working on Physician contracts work was continuing to pile up on my desk, I am buried.

On the home front, work has slowed down while we wait for the fire investigator hired by our insunace company tries to figure out if the fire can be blamed on the company that did the inspeciton. They have taken out the kitchen ceiling and it looks like we will have to pay for one of the pipes to be replaced because it is so rusted. They have taken out the upstairs carpet. I guess they will give me an allowace to pick out new carpet. It still smells like smoke in the house. I did 15 loads of laundry at the laundramat over the weekend and I am still not done. I did manage to dig out our Christmas stockings so we will have something of our own. I also brought over all the presents to get wrapped.

Sunday while Bella was at religion class Scott and I went to Target but they did not have the Barbie Camper or the CD Bella wants. We missed the birthday in a box assembly because I could not find the schedule.

Friday night we did have fun as we went to the White Pines Dinner theater production of Scrooge the comedy. The food was good, one of the entrees was beef stroganoff so Bella had plain noodles and fruit. The play was good. There were only 2 actors-one played charles Dickens and the other played Scrooge. All other parts were played by people chosen from the audience. It was really fun.

It is already becoming old living with Scott's mom and her husband. I hope I can last.

FIRE!!!!



At 11:55 PM on Thursday December 3rd, my husband called 911 because our house was on fire. Bella and I were sleeping but we were awakened by the smoke alarm an abundance of smoke. 4 squad cars and 2 fire trucks and 2 hours later the fire was out and we are in need of a new wall on two levels of our house. The good news-we are all safe (3 people, 1 dog and 1 cat) We did loose track of Isis for a couple of days but as we expected she was safe and sound and hiding out in our basement. Needless to say this will not be the Christmas we envisioned. We are staying at Scott's mom's house for now. We are back at work and school and the fire restoration folks are at work. Today the insurance adjuster was there and they packed up our belongings. I will stop back at the house on my way home tonight. Our newly decorated Christmas Tree took a dive and many of the glass balls were broken. We have a lot of laundry to do and to make matters worse our toilet tank cracked and flooded the upstairs bathroom, ruined the kitchen ceiling and water was dripping all the way to the basement.

Again we are all fine, although it really put a wrench into my exercise schedule.

Whats new?

Well I have not written in a week or so. I have been busy. I took the day before Thanksgiving and the Friday after off so I was home.

The good news is that I am still exercising daily and I have not missed a day since 11/9/09. The bad news is that I still do not have control of my eating and it shows on the scale which has basically not budged at all.

I was pretty busy on my time off. I did a lot of housework-worked in the basement which is still far from being clean-we sure have a lot of junk. I still have some Christmas projects to complete mainly my bowl painting and picture frame painting. I do have the majority of my Christmas shopping done. I need to get some stuff wrapped so I can take it to cookie day this weekend.

I went out shopping at 6:00 am on black Friday and got lots of stuff on sale including a cricuit machine for me.

Our Thanksgiving was nice. We watched the parade in the morning and then went to Donna and Carl's for lunch I took scalloped corn, salad and snacks. I did have a small breakdown when talking to Scott's aunt but I feel I am always just on the verge of having an all out breakdown most of the time and it has not been helped by my daughter telling me "I ruined her life" I am overwhelmed by work and home and being a parent and getting ready for the holidays as well as being depressed about how heavy I have gotten and then not feeling as if I have anyone to vent too. It is hard, but I am getting by the best i can.

Last Saturday we went to North Freedon, WI to ride the Santa Train. Donna and Carl went too. You would think I would have learned my lesson last year but I didn't. Nothing and I mean absolutely NOTHING can just be fun with my family. I am so tired of the whining, crying, complaining and lack of appreciation that I want to SCREAM. I made chicken and dumplings in my crock pot so we all had supper together in the evening.

We recently bought a new TV-42" plasma (How is it that we went to the store to buy a $800 TV and our receipt from Best Buy says we spent $1,600?) we also had to get a new TV stand which is being delivered on Monday. Scott has been messing with the TV however instead of doing what I think he should be. So what if you can't get the VCR to tape and you have to miss a day of "Days of our Lives" Is the world really going to come to an end???? His priorities are screwed up if you ask me.

Scott has a birthday next week which is why we bought a TV, it is suppose to be his birthday and Christmas gift together. I made reservations for Scrooge at the White Pines Dinner Theater for Friday the 11th, but I am sure Scott and Bella will not enjoy that and will be again full of complaints punctuated with whining!!!

Being me these days is exhausting!
