Literally In Between the Lines

Have gone through so many emotions this week and possibly even more events. Since my detox my PMS has been extra intense, my chest extra sore, and my periods have gotten closer. All that accumulates to I have no clue it's going on until five days into it and then I realize, "Oooooh, that's why I've been so grouchy. Oops." This week has been one of those weeks.

We're going on vacation next weekend and have it all paid for by credit. I have been super uneasy about it, so Monday I asked the girls at girls night for advice. Li's was, "You're going to be in debt forever any way, what's two more years to add to the twenty you'll already be paying it off." Construed logic, but still logic, especially when the payoff is a week of being together and the kids spending the week with their grandparents.

Tuesday was another girls night in a sense as it was a birthday dinner for one of the girls. All her friends were there as well, but the four of us sat together and it was a perfect night of laughing and talking.

Wednesday I went salsa dancing with Kels. I was wayyyy too tired and determined not to dance and touch ikky hands to stay well before my trip, but I had a blast chatting with her in between dances and yapping on facebook with Alyssa about my trip while she was dancing.

Thursday I met Kels and her baby girl for lunch and she gave me clooooothes!!! She's actually getting breast enhancement surgery (sounds so much more polite than "boob job") and gave me her shirts that won't fit anymore, plus a bunch of clothes to borrow for the trip.

Thursday night, despite wanting to go meet a friend, I said enoughs enough and stayed home to knock out homework, laundry, and hopefully keep up with the house so I don't feel overwhelmed when it comes time to pack and go.

All day Friday I did the same thing - skipped breakfast with a friend and studying afterwards to stay home, study, do laundry, upload pictures on facebook, and not spend money. Too bad the night got all screwy with Justinbustin's friend spending the night for his birthday (yay!) but WOW I was exhausted when all three kids were still up at 10pm and we were all having it's time for bed meltdowns.

This weekend I'm trying to do the same thing of staying home, but the kids have a P*newood D*rby to go to today, so I'll bring my books and a computer and study in between races. Later today I'll drag out the suitcases, and tomorrow iron the clothes I'm bringing.

Monday it's back to the grind with the school schedule, girls night (yay!), but then no more nights out for me until I get back. Looking forward to returning to my normal schedule already!! In the meantime, pretty sure being relaxed when we leave is worth all the preparation times.
