Another "Sarah" moment for the books

Tuesday during work my shoulders were killing me. I think I slept wrong. When I got home from work and put in my 30 minute run, they hurt even more. I stretched them out for a few minutes and just gave up. I am very OCD about my medicine cabinet. Top shelf contains the things we don't use as much: NetiPot, cold, allergy, and children's medicine. On the middle shelf, we have the first aid materials such as: band-aids, gauze, Neosporin, etc. On the bottom shelf we have daily vitamins on one side, and pain relievers on the other end. I am even OCD to the fact the when we have multiple Advil/Tylenol bottles, they are in a row front to back, with the one open in the front. We sometimes have miscellaneous travel size or tablets in front to use them up. I grabbed a couple individual pain relievers and started making dinner. Around 10ish or so, I started to get some terrible stomach cramps. They were "womans troubles" at all. I was rather uncomfortable but after about 10 minutes, the pain passed. I woke up at 12:30ish in a full blown sweat. I barely made it to the bathroom. The cramps were completely out of control and after I "did my business" they didn't let up. I tossed and turned and fell back asleep only to wake up at 3 and 4 to repeat what happened earlier in the night. By the time my alarm went off, I was tired, cranky, in need of a shower, and "empty". It continued throughout my work day. I had a few moments at my desk where the beads of sweat would start and my stomach would just churn. I am very thankful I sit so close to a restroom. By the end of the day, I felt like my top was detached from my bottom. Michael and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. We went over food we ate, differences in the day, and just went over everything. Nothing came up as a red flag. That was until we changed out the garbage. Michael noticed the little individualized packets and asked if that is what I took. I was told him it was. Then he started laughing. Turns out, the man had bought something to help him go to the restroom. Laxatives. I could get TMI on this but I won't. He said he took one and threw it in the medicine cabinet. Of course. Man. Never puts things back where it belongs. Issues resolved. We got to talking and Michael asked how many I took. I told him two and he started laughing again. Apparently, you are only suppose to take 1 or half of one. Fantastic. No wonder the toilet and I were BF's for the day. Ugh.

Interesting Day 3

Your idea of a perfect date.

If this was the episode of "The Bachelor" then I would say a jet setting adventure to Ireland, find a beautiful green hill (not hard to find there), and spend the day there. Pack a picnic lunch, read, walk, just enjoy time together.

Real world option. The movies are not a date to me. You don't spend anytime talking. I love to do picnics. Find a good sport near a lake or a park. Take a walk or rent a paddle boat. I love a good hike also. Basically anything active and outside suits me best!

Again, slacking in the blogging. I feel like the past two weeks have been completely insane. We are never home, something is always going on, and I'd rather read when I have time to myself. I bought the 2nd book in the series on Friday and it is now currently Sunday and I will finish it tonight. Friday I ready from 10-2am, then had to work Saturday 7am-11am. Saturday night I read from 9:30-1am. Beyond ridiculous. I am looking into buying the audiobooks for this series. I would love to have it at work! It would be amazing! I am completely obsessed and I am going to be really sad when I am done with the 3rd and final book. Michael started reading the first one and is actually enjoying it. It still isn't as funny as when he read about 4 chapters on Twilight though. His facial expressions were hilarious!

The house still is not up. We haven't been home to do it. Michael said this weekend (coming up) is the weekend. We will see. Next weekend I have 2 baby showers, a bridal shower, then the following weekend we have a family wedding out of state, and all the days in between are starting to fill up. Michael is working on two side jobs this week and I can't get all that much done till the kids go to bed at 8. Beyond ridiculous!

We only have a few short hours until we retire for the evening and Monday makes its appearance known. We have had 3 dogs today and it's a mad house! Gabby pretty much keeps to herself. It's Hawkeye that is actually a pain. Figures. I do need to go bathe both kids and get everything ready for tomorrow! I am extremely glad that I didn't go into work today. I needed at least one day off! =)

Long lost day 2

A picture of something you ate

So exciting huh? I had a chicken taco. I will say...it was amazing!

Ok so I admit I am slacking on the blogging. I will tell you why. This book. I don't get it. I am reading this faster the HP. I have to make a trip tonight to purchase the next two books. It's getting a bit ridiculous. The kids hit the sack and I hit the book. It's been 2 days and I am almost done. I have about 75 pages left and once again, I have turned about 4 people onto the series. Whoops! I probably won't start the 2nd book till this weekend. At least, that is what I am telling myself.

Things are still busy as usual around this household. Michael has 2 side jobs going currently so the kids are holding down the fort and constantly on the go. The house situation....we are at a stand still. We are now not sure what to do. HELP!!!! Ugh, maybe someday we will figure it all out!

A photo of yourself and an explanation of how your day was.

Today was St Patrick's Day. I wore the only thing I owned that had a hint of green in it. Thankfully, Ferry provided us all with shamrock beads and pins. My hero for the day! I am one to usually try to find the bright side in my day. That did not happen today! Between the food days that consisted of Corn Beef and Cabbage and Sauerkraut (that completely wreaked up the area around us all day), to the last minute rushes that I received at the end of the day, to the fact that we are all completely burned out, it was just a bummer day at work. That is the best I can describe it. I broke down at one point. I am starting to think our best it not good enough for some. I guess I do have a bright spot to my day, it's my Friday! I took tomorrow off to spend some time with two of my favorite people (third bailed! boooo) and just get away from downtown! This evening we ate cereal for dinner (because neither one of us felt like cooking), watched Bones, and cleaned the downstairs. We aren't going to be home much at all this weekend so Sunday is our only day we can really work on the house! I told Michael that I am think I am to the point where we should just put it up and work on it as we go. Otherwise....I don't know if it is ever going to happen. We shall see!!

Blog Challenege #2

I was once again presented with another 30 day Blog Challenge (as you call it) during my last challenge. I will take this one on but I think will also blog about other things if they come up. I feel like I need to write about other things too. This challenge just isn't a photo one (I believe there are some photos involved) but we shall see where it leads me. My friend is emailed the day as I go so I cannot see what is coming. Yikes. Starting tomorrow I will accept the challenge! =)

Day 30

A picture of someone you miss.

Ready for this one? It's deep.

I am currently missing myself. This might get deep just to warn you. I feel that I have no idea where I am. I seem to wear so many hats and they keep piling on. Wife and Mother are obviously the most important. Yet I work full time at a job that I am currently loathing and my attitude is getting worse day by day there. It doesn't help that the people we work for tend not to be there for us nor back us up on anything. They always expect us to change but we get nothing in return. I find myself alone, yet in a room full of people. My mind completely wonders off to something else. I feel as though I can't talk to certain people I use to. Either they seem to be busy or have other issues in their lives. I  dislike having to explain my life challenges to others. I tend to jump to the conclusion "no one cares." I also hate digging for a "what's up?" or "what's wrong?" I am one to most of the time bottle things up, take a few days, and then let them roll over. I haven't been doing that lately though. I soon feel like I will explode. We have been so busy trying to get our house ready, that I think we have, in a way isolated ourselves from everyone even more. It's our own doing for the past few weeks but I still feel like we are never going to be ready. Day care is becoming a major issue and that is beyond stressful at this current time. I find time for me every once and a while but sometimes, I feel like it doesn't help or it's not enough. I need a do over...a major start over. I do not even know where to begin. They always say you go through a time in your 20's where you have a total re-evaluation of your life and you change. That your path may change and/or you take another road. I think I am at that crossroad. I am just not sure where it is going to lead me. First, I honestly need to get back on track with God. That is a good jumping off point. I know that path was been leading astray currently in the past few weeks. I need to be more disciplined with that.

Day 29

A picture that can always make you smile.
