More Random Thoughts and My Weekend

Happy Mother's Day. I got a cute card from Little man that he picked out. Hope all the mother's had a great day. Thursday night I got a call that our counseling appointment was cancelled due to "therapist emergency" but he said last week that we were his last appointment of the week so I kind of got the impression that maybe it was just that he wanted to go home early. The annoying part was though that we couldn't get rescheduled until this Thursday at 7pm so it's going to be two full weeks. Right now I feel like we need consistency and as it is 45 minutes flies by so going two weeks seems like ages. I truly hope there wasn't a huge emergency with our therapist.

The weekend was really busy. My mom came at 4:30pm on Friday and hung out with Little man and I, then when R got home from work we all went to dinner at a restaurant that we had never tried before. It was really good and also on our way to the expressway. My mom and I drove an hour to my grandparents house where we stayed the night so we wouldn't have quite as far to drive yesterday to get to the baby shower. We talked a bit with my grandparents and then went to bed because we had to get up at 6:30am yesterday.

We headed down to Ohio at 8am yesterday and arrived at the shower a little early at 11:30am. It was a very low key shower with just about 15 people. We had a casual lunch, cake and then she opened her gifts. We were done by 1:30 and then we went out to see my cousin's house and then checked into our hotel.

Checking into the hotel wasn't very fun because every room they tried to put us in smelled like smoke/musty basement. My mom has stayed at this hotel several times and never had a problem but apparently they need to make some upgrades and keep their non smoking rooms non smoking. After finally getting a room that smelled more musty than smoky I sprayed it down with scented body spray and we turned on the fan and went out to my aunt's house to visit. We visited there for a bit and then went out to see my other cousin's house.

We headed out from there and ended up going to dinner at Ru.by Tu.esday's and then went to Wal.mart. We caught a really great movie when we arrived back at the hotel room from 1988. It was hilarious to see the computers and clothes from back then, brought me back to my childhood. It was called "Wo.rking Gi.rl". If you have the chance to see it sometime I thought it was a great movie.

Today we ate breakfast and headed for home. We stopped by briefly at my grandparent's for a little pit stop. It is my cousin's first birthday tomorrow so we took her a present and hung out for a bit. I ended up getting home at around 3ish. Little man and R went to his parent's house this weekend and ended up getting home about 30-40 minutes after me. I was hoping for some more alone time but oh well. It was a nice break but they never seem long enough.

Master's classes start tomorrow so I'm going to spend tonight getting organized and figuring out how I'm going to work the class work into my schedule. My books should get here by mid week so hopefully I can get started on the reading right away for my one class. I finally got a new mentor for my online tutoring. My old mentor wasn't terrible but she would take forever to get back with me and I never got the feeling that I had a chance for a promotion from her. She had been giving me the run around for 2 years. I had been meeting the goals she set for me and improving my technique but it never seemed like she was going to recommend me. I requested a new mentor so that I could have a fresh start and explain my goals from the beginning. I've been with the company for almost 3 years and I should have been promoted by now. I'm also going to work on a binder for my tutoring so I can have a nice resource and all my stuff will be organized.

My marriage has been okay but we have barely seen each other. I'm dying for some affection/attention. R was super busy at work last week so his mind was concentrated on that and I tutored 4 hours last Tuesday and Wednesday, then he worked late on Thursday. We were apart this weekend and I just feel like I have a roommate at this point. It's so annoying sometimes that it's so hard to make couple time and that we barely have time to hang out and just do things that we enjoy together.

I know it wasn't a super exciting post, thanks for reading anyway.
