Becoming a Butterfly

I just wrote a bunch of paragraphs and my new laptop really has a mind of it’s own and deleted it again.  I’ll paraphrase I guess.

Hubby’s helping a co-worker and he’s miserable about it.  He offered to help him months ago and now the work has come up and he doesn’t want to help.  The guy’s paying him $10/hr and he’s like I haven’t made that since I was pulling weeds when I was a kid at a doctors office.  Well…now he’s upset that he’s wasting his weekend and not getting to spend any time with us.  I was annoyed last weekend bc they were working all day and all night.  He asked the guy to bump it up to $15/hr and he wont unless hubby finishes the whole job today.  What a crock!  So, he’s like I guess I’ll work all night to finish…haha. 

I’m ok with it for some reason this weekend.  I’m a big impulse shopper and I told myself NO SHOPPING this weekend so I’ve been trying to get some stuff done.  And it’s really cold here right now so it’s kinda cozy around here!!  I’ve done dishes, laundry, made some biscuits for my son, ran to walgreens for some hair color, read a little, knitted a little, I cut off some of my new size 16 pants bc my legs are short and they were way too long, and I’m going to color my hair soon.  I also got in all my pampered chef stuff from the party I hosted 2 weeks ago and I’ll need to sort thru that.

Yesterday I went to the doc and got my annual (second try.  I went 2 months ago bc I was out of birth control pills but doc had written it wrong, so went back) and my first ever flu shot.  I was sore all the way up my neck and into my jaw.  I was fevery and icky feeling.  Today I’m just really sore in my shoulder and neck.  But feeling fine other than that.  Took kiddo for one too, which was a huge ordeal bc there are NO SHOTS IN TOWN!!  I finally met someone who knew a pharmacist and he found some at one of the grocery stores that they were holding for emergency cases and they had to mix up a pediatric dose.  What a friggin hassle.  And I’d pulled him out of school for this so I was getting madder and madder bc we were driving all over town for this.  His prize for being so good was his 2 first ever Webkinz.  He loves them, and I do too.  I’ve been letting him play on the net with them this morning.  He had a good time.  I took him back to school for the last 2 hours and then we had karate after school, then a bunch of us went to a new ice cream parlor and then we got subway and went home.  Middle of the night I was up with a gallbladder attack which lasted a few hours so I slept in this morning.  Then got busy doing chores.

I didn’t work out yesterday and havent’ so far today.  But got in a 1.5 hour one on Thursday. 

Feeling a little emotionally better.  Just been moody lately I guess. 

I read Tawnya’s blog nearly every day and all her sewing is making me antsy about need to do some stuff.  Cole has been begging me to make a matching top to his pj pants I made him last winter.  Little does he know that those darn pants are too short now which means I have to make more pants too!!!  Hopefully I can find some more of that fleece at the fabric store.  He loves soft stuff and I’d made him the pants, a pillow, and a huge blanket.  Now I cant even see my sewing maching cos of all the crap in front of it.  Agh!  So I knitted a bit to maybe start getting motivated to be crafty!

Hope you are all having a calm weekend and keeping cozy!
