Ever have on eof those weeks?!

I guess to say that I have been over-emotional this week is an understatement.  I broke down at work yesterday and had to take almost forty minutes to calm down, and compose myself.  Today, I found out some wonderful news that one of the besties is 12 weeks prego!  I called to Congratulate her, and just about broke down on the message.  I am so very happy for her and her husband!  Sometimes, I just can't control the emotion that comes out of me. 

I have always been this way - my first reaction/defense mechanism has always been tears.   Ever since I can remember - all anyone had to do was look at me the wrong way, and the tears would start a'flowin'.  It wasn't until later in life I learned that I am also very emotional when it comes to happy events - weddings, showers, babies, etc.  I have been moved to tears a few times as well (Hello, Lion King on Broadway..., and really any patriotic event I have ever been to, or heard a song about).

Why this week, you may be asking.  Well, I am coming off of the week I discovered our calendar was completely filled up through August and the overwhelming feeling that is..., the feeling that we have an empty calendar at work -so this should be a great time to slow down, and enjoy the down-time (and get those bnottom of the To-Do list items checked off!) - and the vibe in the office is the complete opposite...  As well as the week my womanhood decided to "flow" into town.   Lord help me!

I have said it before, and I will say it again...  J and I are VERY blessed to have the family and friends that we have, and be so close knit with them.  However, what I am starting to learn in year two of our J and M business (which is mainly a weekend venture) - we have got to start declining gracefully when those invites start to pour in from our wonderful family and friends.  If we want to keep our sanity in tact (when I say we, I mean ME), and start doing some of the stuff we want to be/should be (=getting our house in order) doing, than yes, we will have to decline gracefully.  This is not to say that we don't want to see you - so keep the invites coming, but every so often, we just have to be selfish.

And finally - I got my (period) this week.  And it has been the period from hell!  I am bloated like no other, tired All.The.Time (to the point of "can't drag my ass out of bed in the AM-tired), and while the cramps have been minimal, my back and my rack are sore like whoa!  I need to get my ass outside for a nice long walk - however, it is 90+ degrees out there, and humid as hell - I know, I know - no excuse... 

I try not to complain too much about things (unless I am on here!), and sometimes I forget to vent.  I just want to avoid combustion.  So, there ya have it... this is my week so far and it is only Wednesday. 

Let's hope for the best, and continue on (and by best, I mean a 1.5L of wine after work, and some trashy television!).

Happy Hump Day!
