A little less Ugh today...

Well, I still didn't want to get up this morning, but I did manage to get up and out the door by 6:30, and arrived at work for 7AM. Now I'm dragging my butt through typing up the transcripts. I had hoped to break up my day with some filing, but the office where the cabinets are is not available to me today. My body is present, but my brain is somewhere up in outer space! Oh well, I'm at work, I'm getting paid for my time...

Ugh...my Motto for February?

It took all of my willpower to drag my butt out of bed and get myself to work this morning! I almost didn't make it, but my dearest husband kept pushing me to get ready, and go. I'm very thankful to him for that this morning.

Well, I'll keep a thought in mind... with each day that passes, winter is once again coming to an end, and soon my winter blahs (or in my case, Ughs) will be replaced by spring fever.... I love spring fever! I wake up with the sun and have so much energy.

Johari window

I found this on Scarlet's page, and it looks interesting.

sometimes I just love guilt....

My husband completely forgot about Valentine's Day, and only realised it when I gave him his card. All I had hoped for was a card, but he totally forgot. I was very disappointed and a little sad, but tried not to show it. He felt so bad, that on the 15th, he came home from work with a Crock Pot for me (That's actually a good thing since it's something I really, really wanted), and a bag full of chocolate. Heh, heh, the chocolate's great, but I cried when I saw the crock pot...He's so sweet. I guess he could tell I was disappointed after all.

Good Website

This website is too funny:
The Brat factor

More Ugh...

Still feeling like crap...this cold seems to be lingering longest with me and with Zach. Zach is coughing less today, so I think he's getting over it, but he slept in until 10AM, so he still needs rest (consequently that means that I slept until 10AM too)

My head is all stuffed up, and I have a nasty nasty cough (serves me right for picking up the smoking habit again). And I now have a wicked, wicked heart burn...that's my own fault too, because I downed my meds this morning without water (dumb, dumb, dumb)

Okay, so on the positive side, I think I've finally found a solution to my "meal planning" woes. I've subscribed to a menu-mailer from savingdinner.com. This is my first week using it, and we've had wonderful, healthy, simple meals for the past 3 nights. Basically, if you subscribe, you get 6 recipes every week, but not only that, the shopping list is layed out for you too. Also, there are quite a few different types of menus: regular menu, frugal menu, low-carb menu, and more. In addition to that, all of the recipes and grocery lists come with vegetarian and kosher alternatives.

Ugh....

Mykah woke up at 4:30AM wanting a bottle. He fell back asleep, but, alas, I could not. So, I made myself some coffee, and just chilled for a bit until it was a reasonable time to go to work. Yes, I'm at work today, and really wishing I could be at home, although I know I would not be terribly productive with the housework.

My ear is trying to flare up into a full-blown infection, and I can't find my drops...I couldn't really look thoroughly for them either, since I didn't want to wake Gilles and the kids (once Mykah was sleeping again.) So, I'm in the office until 2:30pm, and then hopefully I'll be able to find the drops once I get home...if I don't find them, I'm screwed!
