Complaining about something*

We have a closet!
I woke up yesterday morning with a mildly sore throat. I hadn’t slept well for two weeks, worked more than usual this week and have been trying to complete the bedroom reno with M in every available moment, so I wasn’t really surprised. It didn’t bother me much yesterday though, so I didn’t even really think about it. We drove north for the afternoon, then were up late working on our new closet and dresser. It was almost midnight when I crawled into bed, and M crept in a little later after a much needed break. Well, that sore throat has bloomed into a beautiful man-voice that got progressively worse…

There Is No Title For This*
Tonight is the first time in since starting this writing challenge that I really feel like I have nothing left and am struggling to write. I’m exhausted. M & I have been on the go since around 6:30am, and we are only now just sitting down for a break. I was supposed to go and participate in a church activity as part of our semi-annual General Conference…. But as we finally sat down to dinner at 6pm and I realized that I was supposed to leave in an hour, it came down to going to watch conference, or getting our bed together so that we can sleep in our room…

The Last Night*
We are finally getting close to the end of our bedroom reno. We’ve been cozy downstairs in our spare bedroom for the last two weeks, but it’s still not “our bed” so we haven’t been sleeping as well as we normally do. Instead of just my ninja roll out out of our bed, I now have to creep up the creaking basement stairs every time I have to go in with the kids or use the bathroom, and I think I wake M up a lot. (Sorry, love!) This morning he woke up super early and couldn’t get back to sleep, so when I got up at 6am for work…

Today Was Not My Favourite Day*
Today was not my favourite day. It started off okay–the school I went to is close to home and has a later start time, so it wasn’t quite as much of a rush to get out the door this morning, which was nice. I got to the school and was able to find my way to the office, where I bumped into a friendly face right when I walked in the door. A teacher I worked with at my last school is now a VP, and works at the school I was called to today. It was nice to see her, and it made me feel not quite so alone…

Good Day / Bad Night*
I had a really great day at work today. It was a bit of a rough start for me, as I had a bit of an awful night. I finally fell into bed around 11:30, and woke up an hour later and knew I was going to be sick. I made it up to the bathroom before it happened, but I hate throwing up. It’s so awful. I’ve always had a really sensitive stomach, and threw up all the time as a kid. I really don’t think I have any allergies or food sensitivities, I just have battled bouts of nausea off and on my entire life. It’s actually gotten…
