Part IA, Part UP

IA: It costs A LOT of money.  I am not pleased about how much money we're spending over the next few months, and it's just going to go up from here.

This is us too. And of course these are the months running up to the end of DH's contract.

Ditto for us...DH's job ends in May AND the idiots have overpaid him for the last six months so his paycheck for the remaining time is going to be cut substantially.  Not pleased at all!

IA  Josh was not invited to his friends (A girl) Birthday party that is happening tomorrow and I feel so awful for him.  He does not understand why he can't go. Totally breaking my heart!!!

UP I have cake mix and frosting, so we are going to bake it together and have our own party!  Plus he gets to wear his new dinosaur apron

Ohhhh, that's awful!  Is it just for girls?

My niece just went to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's and it was all boys except for her!  My sister asked the mom if they'd invited any other girls, and the mom said, no, just E!  The kid only wanted her.

I honestly don't know.  Better be

So cute!!!  (Except for having to go to CEC, what a flipping nightmare that place it!)

UP: I worked at home today, so DH has the car and I don't have to pick him up from the train = I can have a glass or two of wine.

IA: He's going to get home and scold me for drinking the wine. 

IA: I'm so tired that my brain hurts and I'm nauseous.  But, I think the problem is sleeping in too much over the break, so I'm holding out for 9 p.m. before I turn in so I don't further screw my sleep schedule. I feel jet-lagged.

UP: I can sleep as long as I want or need tomorrow (hope to be up at 8 to get things done, but not going to kill myself) and I have a nice glass of wine to nurse until bedtime.

MIL has decided she is definitely not coming for the baby shower. 

IA: I'm annoyed because I think she should be there as the grandmother.

UP: I don't have to deal with her.

IA: We owe on our taxes this year.

UP: It's not as bad as I thought...my last-minute withholdings maneuvering paid off big time.

UP: My books that I'd called up from the library archives have come in.

IA: My eyes were bigger than my stomach? head? and now I have about 14 books to read.  Yikes.

Wow. That might even take you until Friday.

   I wish I could spend the next four days doing nothing but reading!

Geeta is some kind of library goddess...a super-user! They really should offer her delivery, pick-up, and automatic renewal service don't you think?

I think that would be my dream come true!

So true!
