And I'm still alive. Seriously. It's a miracle. Just one major breakdown. A couple minor breakdowns. 12 hours spent either directly or indirectly trying to get our cable fixed. Then another 2 hours trying to cancel our cable. Then another hour making an appointment to hook up satellite TV because I really do need my TV. And I really do need Noggin to be a good parent.
Ok, so it's probably not the TV I need. I could learn other ways to relax if I really had to, but I don't have the energy to do that right now. Last week was one of those weeks that took everything I had to get through it. I wasn't sleeping well (pregnancy induced insomnia?), our nanny was out sick all week so we were scrambling to find childcare, I needed to get things ready for a big board meeting at work because I need to keep my job and all the home repair/moving stuff was catching up to us (too much!). I came home Thursday night ready to relax in front of the TV, celebrate the end of the work week with a near beer, Tina Fey, and a brownie (or two or three). Instead I spent 2 hours on the phone with dumbos at the cable company who couldn't fix my cable. And then I had my big breakdown because damn it, life's not fair! Waaaaaah!
More things that aren't fair:
– I haven't taken a single photo of this pregnancy. Last time I was documenting every month of belly growth. And since I can't find the charger for the camera's battery, this belly is in danger of not being photographed ever.
– Monday and Tuesday I'm going on a staycation. Hubby and I are taking off these days and keeping the nanny. This is not fair for me to tell you because now you're going to be jealous. I think one day I want to plant myself at the movie theater with popcorn and gummy bears and watch multiple films. I'll only break for lunch and a little light shopping. The other day I might get a hotel room and lie in bed, snoozing, watching movies, and ordering room service. Told ya you'd be jealous.
