So I made it through another day. My eye has been twitching for a couple days now and the back of my neck feels like there is someone smacking it. So, I'm stressed. I went into work early so I could be on call for the dude to look at the water heater, etc. I got the call at 3pm and busted home to be here. The dude showed up, was very nice, and then told me that I was lucky to be alive. Apparently the chimney is blocked..blah, blah, blah. He'll have to come back but he'll call and let us know how much it may cost it. It would be an all day thing - and at $80/hour, I can only imagine.
The seriously part goes to my dh. He calls at 4 and says he's on his way home. I'm thinking that it will work out perfect so he can talk to the dude that's there fixing stuff. The guy finally leaves at 4:45 and I call my dh.
Me: "Where are you?"
DH: "I'm just pulling into the driveway."
Me: "Where have you been?"
DH: "I stopped at the store to get a couple things."
WHAT??!?!?! He knew the dude was there, so reason why he didn't want to come home until after he left. I swear he probably sat down the street and WAITED for him to leave. I don't get it and I'm pretty annoyed. The funny thing is that he KNOWS I'm annoyed. He knows I have every reason to be annoyed. WTF? SERIOUSLY!
I missed going to the gym after work so I'm going to go downstairs and watch the shows and ride the bike. Monday is a great TV watching night. I just had a bowl of cereal and I'm ready for the evening. Tomorrow night I have my meeting and I'm planning on going to the gym between work and my meeting. Wednesday night my mom is coming up because she has to take a class up here on Thursday morning. It will be nice to have her here. Maybe we'll go shopping or something. Sydney is going to love to see her Granny.
Until next time...

Sunday...
It's Sunday and I'm watching the race. I enjoy the short track races and I'm cheering on my fantasy racing team. Yesterday was a busy day. I had my meeting and it went surprisingly good. I still feel like a fish out of water, but I think I'm going to be okay.
I went to the gym after my meeting. It felt good to work out. I just walked on the treadmill for an hour but it was good. Then I met Francine at Old Chicago. Our waitress was super and the pizza was good. It almost had too much cheese - is that possible? Especially with the price of cheese. I hate that I know that, but when you work in the pizza industry you know all kinds of weird information. After that we went shopping and Francine bought a couple of tops.
Last night we went to a little town for Karaoke. It started out pretty fun. It was packed and there were a LOT of very nice looking guys. It was a great place to people watch. We went with a guy Francine works with and two of his friends. We've all been out together and usually have a good time. I was the DD which is weird for me. At the end of the night the boys wanted to go over to this chicks house for breakfast. We nixed it since we were driving. The boys went with her anyway. I didn't really care, but I felt bad for Francine. In fact I was pissed at one of the boys. He (Muldoon) knows that Francine likes him and they've hooked up a few times. If he doesn't want to date her (or hook up with her) he needs to tell her. She said she didn't care that he left with another chick, but I know she did. I did. I sent him a text and told him that he was an ass. I didn't hear back from him. Big Surprise. I think Francine should be with Muldoon's roommate. I call him Karaoke. I don't think she likes him that way, but he's super nice and fun to be around and I know that he would treat her right. I guess I don't really get a vote, but I'll work on it. I'm looking forward to see how Muldoon and Francine get on at work tomorrow. They'll probably act like nothing happened.
This morning was a tough one. Our furnace isn't working and there is also something wrong with our water heater. Of course it all happens at once and my DH was freaking out, which isn't new. He wanted to know what he did to deserve all of these problems. He doesn't realize that I think everything is perfect. I've been on the other side of a marriage that I wasn't happy in and things that are wrong with a house do not compare to being unhappy all the time. Anyway, while he was freaking out, I put all of our CDs in alphabetical order. It took a couple of hours, but it made me feel better. Then he said he was sorry for freaking out and I went to our favorite fast food place and got some lunch. He's snoring in the chair right now. All the freaking out must have made him tired.
I may be going to a track meet tomorrow night. Wheat is running track (as a senior) for the first time. I'm not sure how it's going to go. I thought he would be playing golf, but I think he wants to be with his friends for the last time. Prom is coming up and I told him he could take my mazda. We'll see if he wants to.
I'm trying to decide if I'm going to the gym after the race. I may just work out downstairs so I don't have to leave. It's pretty comfy on the couch - even though we don't have any heat. (I'm glad the heat went out now instead of January.)

Friday Thoughts
It's Friday night and I'm watching basketball. What else would I be doing? My bracket is all messed up but that's not surprising. Since G'Town is out (I had them picked to win the whole thing) I'm really cheering for Xavier. I picked them because I love the name. I'm such a girl.
I've been working on my PEO stuff. I'm display chair for the upcoming convention. I'm proud of what I have planned, but I feel that it won't be good enough. It's probably because I'm consistently in the shadow of one of my best friends who is super woman of everything. People are thinking that if I'm friends with Trasy, I should be creative like her. I'm creative in my own way and I'm not sure it will be good enough. There's a meeting tomorrow morning. She didn't call me to see if I'm going. I think she wants to see me fail. I don't know why. Things have been strained since she went to a musical with some PEO sisters and I wasn't invited. She claims she thought I knew about it, but she had to know that I didn't. Normally it wouldn't bother me, but going to plays and musicals is what we do together. It would be like if I was going to the bar with a bunch of people and didn't ask Francine to go. I'm hurt more than anything. I think she's just showing me how it feels when you're not asked to do something. I think there has been times that I've done stuff and didn't ask her. I don't know. I'm being a baby, but I think every once in a while it's okay.
I had a melt down the other night. I think it was just everything. PEO, work, home - everything. I just couldn't take it any longer and started crying and couldn't stop. My dh was pretty understanding - considering he was part of the problem. I don't get that way very often - which is good because I hate it when it happens. It's just my pitty-party. I'll get over it, although it seems like this one is taking a little bit longer.
Since my dh and I have been together, he's really helped me get my finances in order. I've usually been able to do what I want and buy what I want (within reason). I'm very thankful to him for that. Well, we're a little tight right now. With fixing the car we just traded in, buying a new car (with an additional car payment we're not used to) and paying taxes, I'm on a budget and it sucks. I know that people are way worse off that I am (including my sister) but I still hate it. (Just part of the pitty-party).
I didn't even go to the gym tonight. I changed my clothes at work but decided I really didn't want to go. I came home and have been doing very little ever since. (I'm loving it) I'll get back into the swing of things tomorrow. Maybe I just needed a night to myself.
Well, I think that's enough bitching for one night. Thanks for listening. I feel better already.

It's been a while - AGAIN
One of these days I'm going to learn that if I just blog every day I'll feel better. I won't let stuff get bottled up. I'll take one day at a time. I'll probably never learn.
Highlights of the last month:
We got a new car - Toyota Yaris. Love it, love the gas mileage, love that it's a 5-speed, love the color. Traded in the Tauraus - which I HATED
I got my Mazda MX-5 out on Monday. It's cold today today - they are talking flurries - are you kidding me?
Went on vacation over Easter. The whole family went to my Uncle's house in IL. I did nothing but drink, watch basketball and play cards. It was one of the best vacations ever.
I got my hair cut yesterday. I went short and I hate it. I think I look like an old lady. It's better today than yesterday. I guess it will grow out.
I'm getting ready to go to the dentist AGAIN. I received a letter than my dentist (who was very hot) left the practice due to personal reasons. I wonder what happened there. I hate the dentist and end up in tears before I even get in the chair. The new dentist is a chick dentist so we'll see how that goes. I was just getting used to the hot dentist.
Well - that's all I got for now. I'm going to try and post more often. It's gotta help right?
