I'm bored.
Seriously.

Today I am tired...very very tired
I had work this week, and on Saturdays instead of coming in at 2 like I do during the week, I have to be here at 9...which means I have to leave by 830...which means I should be functional by 8 am.
Not the case this morning. In fact quite the opposite.
This particular morning I wanted to shower. The alarm goes off at 715...snooze. Pretty peeved because I DO NOT want to be awake. So I kept sleeping...till 8 am.
I. was. GRUMPY!! Ask Dan, I really was not happy this morning.
So I washed my face and woke up a little, tried to put on a happy face for Dan before he left for work. Then I had to hurry up and get my pretty little self (hah! small joke) together for work. I made up some lunch for myself, toasted some bread and made a shake for breakfast, and then went to go take my vitamins.
This is where it gets great....
I grabbed my prenatal vitamins (no I'm not trying to get preggo, they're just great for your hair and nails, plus a good multivitamin) and I guess yesterday I didn't screw the cap on all the way because I grabbed it and the next thing I know I have half the bottle all over the floor. Seriously. I just rolled my eyes and laughed. Gave myself a little pep talk to slow down, take a deep breath, and just laugh it off.
Well I left for work around 845...just a little late. Luckily there is no one on the freeway that early on Saturday morning and there's not a police man that I've seen yet. I made it to work on time...surprisingly...to find out that my boss had gone to get us breakfast burritos!
This didn't fix the tired...but it sure as heck made me a whole lot happier.

Generally speaking...it's hard
Life...Marriage...Exercising...everything.
Wednesday night was a big defining moment in my marriage. I had a hard day at work. I came home, and just absolutely and completely lost it on my husband. One of the salesman was...how do I put this nicely...a huge a-hole. HUGE.
Anyway, he was pissed because the samedays were done and he didn't get the text (come to find out later, pretty much no one gets the texts I sent out). It had happened the day before too unfortunately with the same salesman and he just lost it on me. He was like why didn't you text me?! I didn't get the text!!! Blah blah blah. To keep it simple, I got stomped all over like the disgusting dirt you kick off your shoes at the end of the day. No small exaggeration.
At this point, the culmination of being stomped on all summer by all the salesman at some point just hit the peak. I texted the salesman to make sure he did in fact receive my text. He did. I apologized that he didn't receive it and then informed him to never speak to me like that again. Adrenaline rush. Hands were a little shaky. But seriously, I am a freakin human being and I deserve a little respect and not to be treated like a second rate second class citizen or an inferior human being. Not okay. Not freakin okay.
After I texted that to the salesman, I called Dan to ask if that was overboard. He said yes it was. Now to his defense (because right now he sounds like a jerk...he's definitely not!!) he just didn't want it to cause more problems for me through the rest of the summer. He wanted someone else to handle it, someone higher up and with more authority. I have no faith whatsoever in the system. It fails me on a pretty consistent basis and it's just pointless to even pretend to rely on the system. I end up looking like the whining girl who can't take the heat. And I am most definitely can take the heat.
I let it all out...quite literally. I was crying and screaming and probably swearing some and just exploded every pent of feeling of being the second rate second class citizen and inferior because I'm a girl on my husband. Poor guy, he doesn't get it. I don't think he ever will be able to. It's a girl thing, not something he'd ever experience, but it's okay because he sits and listens to me cry about it. He hates to see me cry. I feel bad because I cry...a lot.
So after this, we had a good talk. A really good talk. Dan mostly talked, and I listened. Hearing it though was so great because I really got to see how wonderful my husband really is, and how dang freakin lucky I am that he's mine forever. He has tried so hard in his life and made so many changes that I didn't even know about (before we even met) to make him the man he is today, the husband he is to me, and the father he will be one day. I love him and it's days like Wednesday that I'm reminded how truly grateful I am that he is in my life and the he chose me.
Marriage is hard. But it's the most worthwhile struggle and journey I've ever undertaken. It's the greatest joy in my life and the source of the most pain at times. I don't think it could be any other way, giving yourself wholeheartedly to another does that. It's complicated and wonderful. And it's worth it.

Photo Dump
I made Dan breakfast this morning. It was supposed to be an omelet. It's pitiful. But Dan said it tasted pretty delicious, minus the bacon bits that I forgot to add in. Oops!
Saturday mornings are a little rough, especially when I have to work. Instead of going to work at 2 in the afternoon, I have to be there at 9 am, which also means I have to be out the door by 830. Rough. So this last Saturday, I was dying before I even headed out the door. I stopped at the Circle K to get a 32 oz Dew. I had that downed by 10. And I was dying even more. So Greg King had to go out and do a bee service and got me another 44 oz Dew. I had so much caffeine in my system that I wasn't hungry, and that night my stomach was killin!! Ugh, let's just say I swore off the dew for the next couple of weeks, and I'll stick to 44 oz at the max!
Speaking of trying new dinner recipes, I found this on pinterest and decided to try it. It was AMAZING!! I really am looking forward to the next time I can make it. It was that good, and had so many vegetables that I don't normally eat, but they were delicious!
Remember 2 posts ago, the epic hail storm...yeah this was it. It was insane. This wasn't even halfway through the hail palooza! It seriously looked like the ground was covered in snow.
More photo dump-age to come soon.
Cleaning
So here's my life this summer: work one week, home the next week.
I work close to or over 50 hours every week.
Let's just say that by the time that work week is over, my house is a catastrophic mess.
Today, I cleaned it up. Well the kitchen at least. I finally broke down and got some dishwasher soap. I had Dan go buy some for me, and I forgot how useful the dishwasher is. I had sink loads of dishes and stacked on the counters. Don't judge. But in 1.5 hrs, they were all clean! And while they were washing, I was able to clean all the counters and the floors! Kitchen = CLEAN! SUCCESS!
Now onto the bedroom, which may or may not happen tonight.
Oh...any good dinner recipes, shoot them my way please :] I'm getting bored of the dinner things I've made over the last year and I want to switch it up, especially now while it's just the two of us. We're not picky and we LOVE food!!
