Overwhelmed

Today was a very overwhelming day to me. I was basically wandering around aimlessly at work for half the day (Thank goodness everything is caught up!) Then I spent hours researching judgements. With my job I have to take people to court and I am trying to learn up on them.

Plan was (did I blog this yesterday? to lazy to go look) to move today's rest day to tomorrow and do Friday's workout today. At about 4 pm hubby calls me to say he got a message from B's teacher. She wants to have ANOTHER meeting with us. UGH!!!  I don't know WHAT to do with that child! So I am feeling stressed about that. My dad is visiting next week for a few day and staying with us. I planned on spending my days off with him not the teacher. @@ Then I started thinking about our tax return that needs to be filed. I cannot use it to pay off debt or catch up with bills. Nooo We HAVE to use it to put a new roof on the house so basically the entire thing is gone before it is gotten. *poof*

Then hubby calls me at 6 pm to say the toilet overflowed and he cannot get it to even drain. YEAH! @@  If you have read my blog over the years you know our plumbing friggen sucks. There went my workout!!!!!!!  I got home and spent 45 minutes working on this damn thing. He just does not understand how to treat our toilets or even use a damn snake. This one was a toilet clog though (thanks A!) I tried the hot water/soap approach. Poured 10+ gallons of hot tap water down the toilet with occasional dish soap and long slow plunging. (yeah TMI but the idea is the melt/dislodge the um deposit and the soap to help break up any fat) I had hubby boil a pot of water also. When the toilet was almost clear we poured the almost boiling water down and it finished the job with a loud gurgle swoosh. Thank goodness!  It is to damn cold to go deal with the clean out valve outside.

Yes, I wear more than the Mommy cap in this household. Fix it Mommy here!  LOL

Remember how I mentioned I had a new snuggler? (You OCD people ignore the closet disarray)

Meet the newest family member!

I cannot quite tell you his name because we aren't sure ourselves. It has gone from Tiny/Biscuit/Froggy to Buddy. I like Buddy the best as I accidentally call him that already. He is a shelter dog with cataracts which actually the little face behind him has too so we are used to it. He needs to be trimmed as you can see.  Haha

I had plans to work out/do chores that could not be ignored any longer/file taxes/go to sleep early. I at least got the chores and taxes done.

The one positive about today is that even though I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed. The thought of food as comfort never entered my mind. That right there (the feeling of NOT needing food for emotional support) I wish I could bottle.
