Confessions of a Bulk Eater

I am headed to Rochester tomorrow to see my boys!! WOOT!!! I’m very very happy about that, but not really happy that it will be COLD!!

If you are taking your children trick or treating, have a safe halloween! BACK AWAY FROM THE CANDY!! Have fun, and those of you dressing up and heading to parties… WE WANT PICTURES!!!

I haven’t decided if I’m going to dress up or not. If anything, I may just get some vampire makeup from Party City and go as a vampire. As Twilight and True Blood have shown us, vampires can wear normal clothing which I like. Makeup is cheap… clothing not so much.

Seriously. I should just inject an IV bag filled with diet coke into my vein. It would probably be the same as the quantity I have consumed over the past several days. And the junk food… sheesh. I must really be stressed. There are times I feel stress, and others I don’t but my subconceince must be working overtime because I can’t stop! Doesn’t help that I haven’t gotten to the gym in 3 weeks or have had a chance to do any exercise. Every time I want to go out for a run, my hubby takes off to do something at the house leaving me with the kids. Hopefully we can get moved and get on with our life. I sort of feel like we are on hold right now.

Yes, I know. I haven’t posted pics yet. I figured I’d wait until flooring goes in so you can see the finished result. It’s coming along!!

I hope it’s a lot because that’s what I’ve been doing all day. My legs are sore, my hands are raw, I still have paint all over me and in my hair (even though I’ve taken a shower) and I felt my abs working at a few points during the day. But you know what? It’s okay becuase we FINISHED!! That’s right, we painted the whole house today. The only thing we need to do tomorrow is trim work and second coats in 2 closets. Hubby and I have the BEST friends in the world. We had a ton of people helping us today.

I’ll take some picture tomorrow when I go back over there so you can see what we’ve done.

I am wearing a pair of pants I haven’t been able to wear since I became pregnant in Jan ‘06!!! Almost 2 years after the BIRTH of my daughter (Nov 9th same year) and I’m finally able to wear them.

WOOT!!!!

I’m still around. I’m sure most of you regulars have noticed comments from me. I’m just wrapped in a ton of stuff right now and haven’t been able to focus on calorie counting, exercising, or me for that matter. Work has become chaos after 2 people in our department were let go last week. We are down to bare bones in our area… but we’ve been told we are safe until January. Oh good. 2 months until we have to worry Not sure what will happen then.

The move… ah, the move. I am SO over my husband right now. He’s been at the house every night doing “something”. Not sure what takes him hours over there, but I’m over it. I understand he’s trying to get things done before we move, but we still have things here in the apartment!! I’ve said all this before, so I’m not going to beat a dead horse.

Things are just very stressful right now. I have not been able to get to the gym. I was sick the beginning of the week so it was out. I feel better now, but just not ready to jump into gym time. I would have loved to go for a run tonight - the weather is gorgeous here right now - but hubby went back to house. Can’t go running with the baby - my stroller sucks.

I’ve been trying to watch my portions so I don’t totally overdo things during this period. It will be a few weeks before we are settled, so even if I keep THAT under control, it’s something.

I’ll be lurking around, commenting on your blogs, but probably not much of anything else for a week or so. Once we get paint and carpet in the house, I’ll have to post pictures!

That’s all I’m going to say less I spoil it for someone……

Against my better judgement, I came to work today. I really should stay home since I’m still not feeling well, but here I am. My glands are swollen, now I’m coughing…ugh. I’m sure if I got on the scale right now it would show a loss since I hardly ate all weekend. I was hungry, but I just couldn’t eat. Hubby went and got me some Broccoli Cheese soup from Jason’s Deli last night when he FINALLY got home and it hit the spot. I am trying to not be upset that he was gone all weekend and I had to watch the kids while sick. He was working at the house the whole time. My cousin, who is an electrician, came over yesterday and Jake helped him replace the breaker panel and install a fan box in the living room. He cut us a deal since Jake helped him. We probably paid about 1/2 of what he would normally charge.

I was thinking to myself how much we actually have to get done in a short period of time. We really need to start packing. We are down to the wire.

I’m still not sure how I feel about this. Hubby asked me yesterday when it was all said and done if I was happy and I told him no. I’m not yet. He looked a little dissappointed, but I told him that it just hasn’t sunk in yet. I think once we actually get into the house THAT’S when it will hit me. We still have so much work to do before we get in there. My mom and grandparents came over last night to see the house for the first time. They were excited. And we have already met one of our neighbors. They are really nice. Their daugher and granddaugher were over as well and we got to meet them too. They were all excited we were moving in. I guess the house has been vacant for awhile.

THANKFULLY…. the house came with appliances b/c my dryer broke the other day. Good timing. I guess I’ll be doing laundry in my new house before we move in!! It’s only a mile from where we live now so it’s not too far out of the way. Plus we will be over there working a lot so it’s not like I’ll have to make extra trips. The only problem is my workout clothes that get washed every day. I’m going to have to figure out what do to about them.

Food this week is a bust. We went out to eat last night to celebrate. I’ve been a ball of nerves as well. Plus they are laying off more people today or Monday. I made sure I wasn’t one of them before I left for closing yesterday. But that means more work is coming our way. Ugh.

2pm.

I am a wreck right now. I didn’t get much sleep. I went to bed late b/c thanks to tiny2b, I have become hooked on True Blood and I was watching episodes on HBO On Demand to catch up. My son is sick and wanted to sleep with me since hubby was working overnight last night. He kept waking up and then waking me up to “snuggle” which was like snuggling with an oven at 350 degrees. My daughter for some reason woke up and refused to go back to sleep until about 3am or so. Not only that but my mind was racing. Finally fell asleep sometime before 4. My alarm goes off at 5. I didn’t wake up until 6. Never heard my alarm. At that point, I was running 30 minutes behind. My hair looks like crap today b/c I couldn’t even dry it. (I have found the secret to liking my hair though - it has to be dirty) So I was late to work. Found out there will be layoffs tomorrow or Monday. 2 in our department. THANKFULLY not me - that would be horrible horrible timing.

SO…. combined with nerves for the closing this morning, running late, no sleep, and having to leave early today so I have to work like a maniac to get 2 days of work done (stayed home yesterday with son) I am a mess. I have already eaten an egg mcmuffin, a hasbrown, and a cupcake. What a great start to the day.
