Condition/Uncondition

Why is it that some people are so damn conditional? Why? It pisses me off to no end, and the worst part is that it does no good to call them on it because they were wronged once and now the world owes them everything and they will remind you of that time and again. And why must this always happen around the times of year I look forward to?

Stress is not something I relish, nor do wish on anyone else...no, not even the conditional people. But sh** people! I'm going to be selfish just for a minute and yell at all you stress-givers...STOP STRESSING ME OUT! I am only one person, working one job, trying to raise a baby and keep a husband happy while trying to pull strings and keep the production running smoothly from behind the stage all the while trying to enjoy the Christmas season because its supposed to be the only time of year where I am able to relax! SO CUT IT OUT!

So in the name of de-stressing...as you saw in the last post, I put up our tree...measuring a whopping 12" tall. I think its pretty darn cute. And the little village around it are houses my mother painted while I was growing up. She eventually moved on to the "ritzy" section of Christmas village, thus bequeathing moi with the smaller tenets. And just to tell you how small this village is, I lost the cord with the lights that go inside the houses, so this village has no electricity.

I'm forcing Zac to listen to Christmas music, I told him its good for Pierce to get a head start on the festivities. Although with all this nice "stress" that has been dumped on me, even Christmas music is making me a little melancholy. But I listen anyways. Which brings me to the question of why the radio doesn't ever play The Carpenters??? I lost my CD and Napster isn't working on my Zen...I don't get it.

Were going to Idaho for Christmas this year. (Part of my stress) I was excited at first, and still am a little...but my apprehension is growning and so is my stress level. I am very very excited for my parents to see Pierce, and Im excited to see my family again. I just hope we can all have an enjoyable holiday. And no one..I MEAN IT!...no one better ruin Christmas for me. Or they will be in such a world of hurt...ohhh you have no idea.

Yes I'm feeling snarky today. So freaking what. Gripe, gripe, gripe.

We enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving with Lindsey and Joe, Lindseys sis and fam & the missionaries. My green bean casserole turned out great! (like you could screw it up...) Lindseys turkey turned out so moist and tender, we had a great time :) Pierce did well too. Slept and ate. It was nice to be around good friends for the holiday since our family is in Idaho. It felt like family...in a good way :)

Im starting to feel like crap. I know a good 80% is stress, and perhaps 10% is my pillow, and perhaps the other 10% is a cold trying to impose on my sinuses? I hope not. I cant afford to be sick. As much as I really wouldnt mind an excuse to stay in bed, I dont need a sick baby.

OK I have nothing more to say right now. Actually I do, I just dont feel like typing it all, not like you'd enjoy reading for an hour. Have a good one :)

Its official...

The tree is up...

(insert thought)

It's a blowin' outside. Im just waitin for the monsoon to hit. I drove home for lunch like usual and about got blown off the road with the rest of the cars on the highway. Its black on the horizon, like the clouds above Mordor...sorry thats the best I can come up with. The damn "H" doesnt like me today, its sticking and I have to hit it pretty dang hard to make it work. What a pain.

Im ready to go home. Especially with this weather. I have to do a 40 minute workout before I can even sit down, (ick.) but then I can finish Robin Hood Men in Tights with hubs. Yes, he was nice enough to start it with me last night...and I dont care how many times he says how dumb that movie is, he was laughing last night so I caught his bluff! ( I love you honey :) )

Im gettin excited to choreograph The Pajama Game this year! (Thanks Pam!) I've already got ideas brewing and hubs has since learned to waltz and to tango - i needed a guinea pig for some of the partner dances :) The only sucky part is that I cant get any of the songs out of my head and they all intertwine with each other and make a huge mess of a song.

I've started working 4 hours of overtime on Saturday mornings...yes I miss sleeping in on Sat., but I enjoy the extra money...well, my bills enjoy it more than I do. The nice thing is that it is so quiet at the office that I have 4 hours of uninterrupted time to choreograph or finish up personal projects. I get off at noon, so its not bad and if I want a Saturday off I just have to ask.

Tomorrow is date night. A lady in our church offered to babysit so we took her up on it. I feel really weird that I'm leaving my baby with someone else, especially not family, but it's only for a few hours. Enough to do a temple run and get something to eat. I just hope I can concentrate on what were doing instead of worrying if my baby is ok with out me or Zac.

I need caffeine if Im going to be able to work out this evening...Im fading.
