Long Week

[ladyshanae]

Wow.  What a week.  We've had ups and we've had downs and I'm exhuasted.  Here's my week in bullet points.

• Tuesday night some punk decided to raid our car.  Yes, the doors were unlocked (let's not get me started on that).  The idiot took a lot of stupid things, but luckily the one item I was most concerned about - as it is irreplaceable - was still in the trunk.
• My parents, bless their hearts, left me the car to use on Wednesday but failed to leave any keys.  I  had to run around like crazy finding a ride to the store and a ride to a vocal ensemble practice.  It stressed me out.
• Wednesday night was complete chaos which included a dinner that my friend needed to host at our house (long story) and a baby shower for a friend.  I did not get home until after 10pm and was exhausted.
• Thursday was a good day where I got to meet my co-worker for the first time and do a little shopping.
• This morning I got into an argument with Soren and I ended up in tears.  This could be due to pregnancy hormones, but it made me sad and grumpy.
• We finally got our moving reimbursement check (less than we were promised but enough to ALMOST pay my parents back for the money they allowed us to float on their credit cards while we were moving across the country).  This is VERY happy and takes a huge load off of my shoulders financially.
• All is going well with Little Bean who is not so little anymore.  She is definitely a busy little girl.  And the doctor seemed very positive about letting her join us a week early.  I go in again in a week.

In bullet point form it sounds less crazy than it was, but I am seriously so drained of energy it's stupid.  I'm not sleeping well - which is a side effect of baby, of course, but it doesn't make it any easier to deal with - as much as I love the crazy little girl.  I feel like a zombie most days but have had trouble doing any type of napping.  It's frustrating.  It's also annoying to feel like there are all these things to do - so I'm running here and there and cleaning up this and that instead of sleeping.  Which means by 9pm I am totally wiped and ready for bed.  But then I lay down and Princess starts kicking and poking and hiccuping!  The only reason any of this actually bothers me is because when I don't get my sleep I become very crabby and low on patience.  I don't like how I am when I don't have sleep, but I feel like I have no control over that - which is probably the most frustrating thing of all!  Haha!  I don't mind the kicking and poking and hiccuping . . . that's all kind of fun.  :)  It's the lack of sleep that is really starting to get to me.

And yes, I know - it is only going to get worse LOL

I've also been a little stressed about the finances, but that reimbursement check has eased some of that.  I just really want to pay off a bunch of stuff but I have to be patient.  One paycheck at a time, right?

So - that's what's going on with me.  It's been a rough week.  Tomorrow I am babysitting my brother's 5 kids from 7:30am until 4pm at the latest.  I am already tired thinking about it.  They are high energy kids, so I'm just concerned that, with my lack of sleep, I will lose my patience and be grumpy at them.  I don't like to be that way with my nieces and nephews.  I hope Alan will be coherent enough to help me at some point tomorrow.

I've also been trying to deal with some stuff with HPRPG to get things ready for when I have to be away again.  That has had plenty of ups and downs, but it's getting there.  I am excited to get through the end of this pregnancy, get on a schedule with Bean, and start roleplaying again.  I have missed it and feel like now that I don't have a place to release my creative energy, I am ready to get back into things.

Ok, that's it for me!  I'm going to find some food and try to take a little snooze before - you guess it - bed time!  Haha!
