Before After

This is a rant that you don't need to read

Day 100 of 141 Days
41 Days Remain
 
Please don't feel the need to respond or even read this.  This is me venting in about the only way that I can.  I am hoping to work some things out  and I usually do it internally...never externally.  But, I can feel my insides churning in ways that are not good and I thought I would give this a try.

I am a little out of sorts. 
 
I am stressed out about the many things going on with  our potential foster parenting. 
 
I am having a hard time with the heat and humidity.  Which is drastically affecting my desire to exercise among other things.
 
We got the back window of our suburban shot out two days ago, so that was another bill we didn't need. 
 
We can't get the gutter guy to replace our gutters that he said he would over three weeks ago.  And they damaged the old gutters further when they roofed the house.  He has bought the supplies and put them on our account at the home improvement store, but we don't have new gutters.  Obviously we had to pay the bill.  We've been having huge rainstorms at night and been out in the lightening trying to keep water from going in the basement.  His latest promise is that he will be here this weekend.  Three weeks ago, we asked him if he just didn't want to do it to let us know, so we could do it ourselves.  We were getting ready to go buy supplies to do it, when we got the invoice from the store showing he has purchased the supplies in our name.  Ugh!

TOM is getting more and more ferociously painful.
 
And my diet has been just awful.   The scale shows it.FOLLOWDont2020NORMA.gif Dont be discouraged image by sumrrain
 
Am I giving up?  No! NO! NO!  I can't do that.  I just need to get ahold of myself.  I need to get some things accomplished and I am sure that will pick me back up.  I am the kind that when I start to feel overwhelmed I start to get paralyzed and very grouchy. 
 
Another thing that is really bugging me is that for 17+ years I have been supporting my DH with his car fetish.  I have had a desire for a classic fun car for just me for a long, long time.  He never seems to take me seriously because it is never a car that has his interest, so I get blown off.  I found my perfect car on ebay and kept mentioning it and giving heavy suggestions.  Well, he did at least bid on it for me, but he didn't want it as bad as I did and put a cap on what he wanted to spend.  We didn't get it.  We lost it by a little over 300 dollars.  I am trying to be a trooper, but I am sick to my stomach.  We have owned over 25+ vechicles in our 17 years.  I have always been supportive.  This was such a unique car and the boys were in love with it too.  I know my feelings are selfish and irresponsible, but the ugly truth is they are still there. frustrated.png Frustrated image by psawyerislove I really need to pray about this and get my priorities straight.
 
Sorry about this ranting post.  I just thought that maybe if I wrote about it, I could get a better grasp on myself.
 
I am off to see if I can get something accomplished today beside running the boys to all of their activities.  I've already planted some flowers and weeded some of the gardens this morning, but it is already getting miserable.  Maybe I can get some sewing done.  I enjoy it designing custom clothes for Ds4 if I just can get myself to sit down and do it.

Comments to this post:

I'm sorry

Sounds like a ton of stuff piling up.   I'd be telling the gutter guy that you'll be calling your State's attorney General if you don't see his weasly little face by Friday with the stuff you paid for.
 
I'm sorry about the car.  Sounds like you need to have a heart to heart w/ DH and lay your feelings on the line and let them know that YES!  your feelings DO matter.   Men often don't mean to be insensitive, but the do often need things spelled out for them letter by letter.
 
Hope today is better.

Chin up!

Keep your chin up!  You said you needed to pray about it and that is a great thing to know! Since you mention prayer let me remind you when you are on the path God wants you on is when the devil is going to try you the most!  Sounds like that is happening! Hang in there and chin up!  If the foster thing is meant to be it will happen.  I hope they catch whoever shot out your window and your gutter man comes to his senses! I say next time buy the car for yourself! :-) LOL  Easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!

oh yeah...

And I think that is the great thing about this site - you are human with problems and joys just like us.  We share the same battles in many ways.  Writing your feelings is a great form of catharsis, right? If you can't say it here...where can ya?

hey girl

sounds like you have a lot going on.  if the guy does not follow through as promised, let me know.  i can write him a letter for you, i work at a law office.  lol. tell your hubby how you feel, if thst's your biggest complaint about him, you are one lucky lady.  ino slacking off in the weight loss department, you have come to far!

Hey my friend....  Long time no chat.  I have been trying to keep my pc time down to a minimum so haven't been updating any of my blogs lately.  Also tackled potty training which has taken up a huge amount of time.  Thankfully the little guy seems to "get it' now and is doing superbly!
Proud to see how well you're doing...  Even though you may have a bad day or so, you will finish.  I know you will.  I have had a few speed wobbles lately, but have been back on track the past 3 weeks.  Even though I am not losing as much as I would like every week, a loss is still a loss. 
Sorry to hear of your day.  Eek, there are always THOSE DAYS that set us off and I believe are total attacks from the enemy.  Praying for you today.  You must be doing something right if you are such a threat to enemy lines!
You're treasured....  :)
Lots of ♥

How about a

HUG

....

I really hope that you can work your way tthrough all this stuff and I will pray for peace for you.
