It's been a rough week. I am thoroughly ready for the weekend and for a new circumstance. A few of my co-workers are just out of control. But enough about that, because I have certainly devoted too much time and brain space to them.
My hair is growing back. I can feel the new growth, which makes me happy. I'm hoping by the time my sweetie gets home for good I can put it in a ponytail again. But for now the natural look is easy to maintain and looks pretty cute most days.
Ugh, I just ran out of steam. Don't you hate that? Oh well. Today's outfit: my new butterfly jeans (so cute!), cream top, navy laceless chucks, and fabulous headband. Oh, and my gold hoops. Simple, but apparently adorable, I got compliments lol. Yay for not having court and taking a short day. There's the good thing about getting paid in vacation time...I can take half days and not worry about depleting my stash of hours cuz we earn an extra day each month! Alright, I'm off to look busy for the next 20 minutes before I wander home for a nap and toddler madness.

annoyed

I've been fighting with my sister via email all day. I am so so tired of her defensive attitude. You really can't say anything to her cuz she gets all pissy and defensive. I am usually decent at putting myself in other people's shoes, but I could never really walk in hers. I have tried, but I just don't see myself there. It's frustrating. I'm so sick of thinking about it, of being mad about it, but it's stuck in my head. And it doesn't help having to be at work focused on other stuff when I want to stew lol. I keep praying, but it must be half hearted. Lord give me the wisdom to say (or not lol) what needs to be said. More importantly, I give you the frustration of this burden. I let you carry this for me so that I can continue to walk my path without anger clouding my vision. I thank You that the situation is already under control and Your Hand is already in it, doing what needs to be done. Now I really do feel better lol.
I quit smoking today :)
Oh, and I'm wearing cream pants (that are getting too big!!!), coral floral tank top, cream sweater, gold mary jane flats, and random brown jewelry. Gotta get back into that. My how I've missed this...

iraq

So my boyfriend is deployed to Iraq. That is sucky, but (generally) not as sucky as people think. I don't like telling people because they get all "aww, poor you" about it, and I don't see it that way. I'm really proud of him and what he's doing. And considering that even when he's not deployed he lives 12 hours away, it's not like this is a huge change for me.
Except today.
Today I am sick and tired. I just want to curl up in his t-shirt and sweats on the couch and have him rub my achy belly while we watch crappy tv.
