Nail salon annoyance

Being the procrastinator that I am, of course I waited until the morning of Brittney's wedding to go get a pedicure. There are multiple nail salons in the area so I figured if one is busy I'll just go to another. Walk in and ask how long of a wait for a pedicure?... "Now, pick a color". Sit down, put feet in the water and here I sit 20 mins later and no one has touched my feet... I swear it's only because I'm in a hurry! Needless to say, I'm annoyed!!

Syracuse half

My friend, Alonna, and I signed up for the Syracuse half marathon months ago! And even though we were experiencing one of the worst winters ever, we thought that maybe by the end of March it would warm up a little. That was not the case! The race was March 22, and at the start of the race it was a whopping 19 degrees! 😁 Once I started running it really wasn't too bad.. And I managed to get my best time yet! Beating my wineglass half time by 15 mins!!

Reason 32467865 why I need a treadmill

I was at the gym last night and only had 30 mins. Because I am running a half marathon the 22nd I NEEDED to spend that 30 mins on a treadmill. Of course when I got there there was only one treadmill open. So despite the fact I needed to pee, I jumped on the treadmill before someone else could. By the end of the 30 mins I felt like I was going to explode!😑

Change of address hassle..

We changed our address at the post office a few days prior to moving... I understand that it sometimes takes a while to get mail that needs forwarded to the new address however, Mike was supposed to get his paycheck 2 weeks ago! And still has not received it. We have called the post office and gone to the post office and no one seems to know where it is. He checked with his work to make sure it wasn't returned (which it wasn't). Then the tell us that not all of your mail gets forwarded... Ok, so who decides what gets forwarded and what doesn't?! Then to top it all off he was supposed to get another paycheck yesterday and it didn't come... So basically he hasn't been paid in a month! Hopefully it comes soon or Mike may lose his mind!!

Is this winter ever going to end?!

We are in the new house and settled (for the most part)... But what happens not even one week after we're there?! FROZEN water pipes!  Thankfully they didn't burst. But it's been so cold that we've had to run a space heater in the crawl space 24hours a day. And go figure, we're paying utilities on the new place and old place this month when it's record breaking lows... Ugh! Go away winter!

Exhaustion is setting in

My busy schedule is really getting the best of me this week. I am very good at putting far too much on my plate at once.  For example.. When I didn't yet know if I was going to be getting the house, I signed up for a bunch of overtime at work. So now I'm working extra AND trying to pack the house. I know you're probably thinking.. You only work 3 days a week!! Maybe so BUT if you've never worked over nights- that first day off you are BEAT! I am pretty much worthless that first day. On top of my work schedule, chloe is taking puppy classes. Every Saturday morning for 6 weeks.. Just to show you a glimpse of my schedule so you don't think I'm just a big whiner lol:

Wednesday:

7:30am wake up and get ev ready for school 

9-10: household chores/packing

10-1030: quick run (because on top of everything else, I'm training for a half marathon in March)

11-3pm: sleep!

3:30: get ev off the bus, homework, get ready for work

6pm: evan to cub scouts and I head to work until 730am

Thursday and Friday

830-10: packing

10-2pm: sleep

Saturday (today)

I feel like a zombie already?! Fortunately, mike works until 9pm and evan goes with his dad before puppy classes so once I finally get to sleep I can stay in bed as long as I want... Or as long as chloe lets me!

I'm a homeowner!!

I got the house! Hooray! I officially closed on Monday (January 26). Now the fun begins... Packing and unpacking.. Changing addresses.. And appointments with cable, Internet, etc.

I'm sure all of this will make me a crabby bitch (sorry Mike), but it's done! We got the house :)
