How was everyone's weekend?

Gummybear · August 2010

Mine was OK.

We are going through another unimaginable family tragedy right now so it's been very emotional. I really can't post details because it's too horrific. But like the post above, it puts things inpersepctive and has made me realize how blessed I am.

On a happier note, we have decided to stop waiting around for phantom baby #2 and start fixing up our house. We are starting with paint and carpets on the 2nd floor and a new TV and new curtains and rearrangment of the family room. Down the road, new sofas and hardwood and paint for that room too. So now, I am obsessed with that, which is def. distracting me from TTC, which is good.

I also had a turkey burger last night that smelled (and thus tasted, b/c it was so odoriferous it permated all my senses) like dog sh!t. Exactly like dog feces. I am not exaggerating. It haunts me.

{{{Big Hugs}}} I'm so sorry you are going through another trauma in your life right now, Gummy.

I slept most of Saturday. I'm wiped out from my work week and all I want to do is curl up in a little ball all weekend. I got that out of the way on Saturday, and did my errands on Sunday. That includes preparing lessons for the week. My job seems to be neverending and I want to quit soon.

I wish DH would hear me when I say I want to use our spare room upstairs. He says he doesn't want to spend the money on furniture right now when we could be using it for "something else" within the next year. He's so optimistic. Wish I could be as upbeat as him these days.

Off to work. I'll check in when I'm supposed to be teaching!

Aw Jill I'm sorry. My DH and even I, was like that too. I finally said, "We have no idea what the future holds. I am sick of waiting around. I want to enjoy this house and the insistance on waiting for something that may or may no happen is not only depressing me about what's not happening, it's making me not enjoy our home to the fullest." We've been at theis now 5 years, if you count before DD too. Life is just passing us by.

((hugs)))

Mine barely counts as a weekend - my husband had to work Saturday AM, then we had family down Sunday which was a relative disaster as my 3 yr old nephew is a terror, bloodied my mom's lip, and I got called in the middle from work because somebody needed a freaking stamped piece of paper. Grrrr.... and our "trying" was pretty feeble this weekend - amazingly - due to stress!!! *Dislike* And now I have to train a stupid temp, and stupid is right!

Good thing next weekend is a 3 day weekend.

I'm glad you're fixing up your house. I've had that in the back of my mind since my loss, myself. I hope I get the courage to go ahead and start the repairs, as well.

Friday we went to a concert. It was great, and so much fun.

On Saturday, PMS was coming on hard-core. I had a huge crying jag after an expected - early HPT. I knew I was being ridiculous, but I couldn't stop for awhile. Finally, I did, though. We went for a walk and then ran some errands.I was in a poor-pitiful-me mood all day long.

Sunday was our 3rd WW weigh in. I lost another 2 lbs, which brings my total weight loss to -9.2 lbs. That makes me happy. Then we went home and puttered around the house. Sunday night we watched the Emmys.I cheered up that day, thank goodness.

Good weekend, overall!

I'm sorry to hear you've been going through a difficult time. ((HUGS))

But GO YOU for taking charge! I'm already envious of the fresh new look your house will have when you're finished!

Gummybear, I hope your family situation works out soon. GL on the home improvements.

DH and I went to see "Takers" and it was a pretty good movie. Lots of eye candy, plus the producer is a fellow alumnus of my undergrad alma mater. Other than that I did a lot of cooking and baking.

I really do hope that things get better for you and your family!

The distract sounds like it's good! When do you guys start the renovations?

and Indifferent @ the turkey burger...was this at a resturant? home? Please odnt say ruby tuesdays lol.

Our weekend was quiet - it rained 90% of the time so it became laundry and cleaning day on Sunday. Saturday we saw a crap movie - DONT waste your money on The last exorcist UNLESS you like to make fun of movies like that (think blair witch mixed with exorcist amature style)... That, and the movie theatre was filled with teens so over all it sucked.

Sounds like a fun way to keep your mind off of TTCAL!

I spent most of the weekend sick - seriously I'd think I was right in the middle of 1st trimester nausea and exhaustion if I didn't know better. It was awful

Thankfully it's over now!

Oh honey! ((((hugs)))) I hope all is okay and gets better soon!

As for your house that sounds like such a good distraction plan!! I would love to fix up our house, but we just put in a new kitchen floor and that was a lot. I guess we'll need to save up a little longer to fix something else up.

I'm so sorry for whatever it is that you are going through. You will be in my T&Ps. Sending huge e-hugs.
