Little girl has been sick all week, which means we have been stuck inside every day, 8 hours straight. It also means that she has been extra cranky and mean and taking super short naps. The combination of these things has recently been making me hate life.
My mom called tonight to tell me I need to come out and go through clothes or something that I still have at her house. I proceeded to vent about my agonizing week, questioning whether or not there was something wrong with me for being so irritated by an almostthreeyearold. Naturally she turned the conversation toward questions of am I going to renew my teaching license? Have I signed up for those classes yet? What if I need a good job? Naturally I reiterated that I am not actually interested in teaching at this point in my life and that my license has been expired for over a year and I don't even know how to go about fixing that and even if I needed a good job it's not like I could just walk into a school for an interview and walk out the same day with a job. Naturally this upset her (again). We talk in CIRCLESCIRCLESCIRCLESCIRCLES. Sorry I'm a huge disappointment, mom.
Update on the workout junk: we are no longer doing p90x. This was due to some belated research in which I discovered that if you are wanting to lose weight, p90x will basically not help you do this. You will lose some weight, sure, but mostly you are just building muscle (duh, I should of figured). Which is fine, but I would prefer to lose weight at this point in my life. So now we are on another program which is more cardio-based and shorter (!) so hopefully that works out.
Anyway, things that are good in my life right now to take my mind off of frustrations:
1. manduka prolite yoga mats
2. clean house
3. healthy food in balanced, proper portions
4.
5. this weather (62 degree weather in february?!)
6. 1/2 day tomorrow + friday off
7. john robert chipman
8. roses on the dining room table (thanks #7)
9. watching monster (thanks #7)
10. the hobbit (currently rereading)
