Sent 2 more inquiries about dogs
I just sent inquiries for Gus and Gordon on Petfinder as well. No word from Eliot's breeder but I most likely won't hear back from her until end of this week at the earliest. If I can't adopt a 2nd child I am going to adopt a 2nd dog!!
Cleaned up my office! Now my office is all sparkly! OMG, my house is starting to look beautiful again!!Woo Hoo!
Still doing Sparkpeople every day. I lost 1/2 lb last week. Sleep is a huge issue for me though. total insomnia: hormones, hot flashes, stress, anxiety, etc. I just toss and turn. Then I get upset I can't fall asleep and it makes it worse. Going to try taking a melatonin before bed tonight. I have been drinking more water and less caffeine. Food is really good. I have been between 1400 to 1600 calories. Yay! And I have been exercising every day.
I am praying David finds some kind of a job to occupy his time. Paul and David home all day is just getting on my nerves!!! One I can deal with. if only one of them is here, it is quiet!

I have a vision of you walking through your sparkly house with a huge smile on your face! Doesn\'t feel good to not see the clutter! WOOHOO!
As for a summer job what is available for David? My kids would pick blueberries and other similar jobs.
Heard back today on Gordon and Gus. Gordon is now \"adoption pending\" and Gus is in Illinois. Too far. Still praying for Eliot. I feel so down all of a sudden. :-(
Just keep looking - you will find the right doggie!
Thanks Joyce. Just one of those days. We are going to San Diego in a few weeks (3rd week of July) which puts even more pressure for me to get work caught up. I really don\'t want to go. I am angry with David as he refuses to clean up around here. I just feel like I am expected to be everyone\'s maid around here and I am so thoroughly pissed off! Sorry, venting! the thought of spending a week in a hotel with the two of them is going to drive me insane. And when we aren\'t in the hotel we will be in a car. This is Paul\'s trip. I am tired of planning it. I dread the 6+ hrs in the plane. I dread packing and unpacking every day to go from one hotel to another. I dread not eating home cooked meals. i dread Paul going off about spending money.
and yes, went off the Lexapro but its been weeks. and hormones are going nuts and PMS and I just feel like sobbing. I have the most beautiful, wonderful, affectionate dog in the world. but for whatever the reason, this just really bummed me out!!
Relax, take deep breaths, In - out -in -out. You might be surprised and really enjoy the trip you husband has planned. If not think about how you will feel when you get back home. There is always a plus somewhere - we just have to find it.
I bet you are really happy about your shiney home now.
Hope you find the right recipe to get some sleep that is really what you ned right now. It does help with stress if you can sleep well.
Take care
Good luck with the doggie adoption
Keep drinking that water.. You need more of it if you are drinking caffeine
Don\'t plan about the trip. just go with it. It may not turn out as you think. If you don\'t pre -conceive it it maybe better than you expect. but then there is always going home to your new clean home.:) Great job with getting things in order
I understand, stress, lack of sleep they are doing you no good. Try to have fun but i understand your apprehension. Maybe you can talk to Paul about what he wants to spend on this trip so there will be no flairups. If he realized that it\'s going to cost x for the basics , hotel, air fair,food,car,gas going to events(museums or canoeing -) then things maybe easier on you. ;)
Good luck with everything
