Appreciation & Frustration

Now that I’m all caught up, I thought it was time for a real post! Things have been pretty crazy lately. Keight went to her doctor appointment on Friday which was a bust. They did a first trimester ultrasound even though Keight told them she was already in her second. So they didn’t get any new information.

Saturday was pretty laid back. I went shopping got some new nail art lacquer that I will use for Halloween nails. Purple glitter and orange. So exciting. Expect pictures with whatever creation I come up with! I also bought some Deep Burgundy hair dye so I could die my hair on my day off (Monday).

Sunday was amazing. Church was awesome and really sorta kicked me back into shape because I have really been neglecting reading my Bible lately. So I’ve made it my mission to pay more attention to the notes (which I have set to my home page and yet still somehow “forget” to make time for) and to make it a priority in my mornings! I feel so much better when I do that, even though I still really had to fight through the frustrations yesterday, I can’t imagine how I would’ve handled it if I hadn’t spent that extra time yesterday morning!

Went back to church Sunday Evening to greet and I have to say, every week greeting is just more fun than the last. I’m going to miss greeting at the current building and miss my C-Team greeters when I switch to the B-Team for the new location, but I’m sure it will be just as fun! I also felt really lifted up because I’m a words of affirmation kind of lover. Which is to say that I feel most loved when people tell me I’m doing a good job or compliment me. So between one person noticing my hair cut and telling me they really liked it, two people complimenting on my makeup, and BEST OF ALL someone shaking my hand and telling me I was doing a really good job greeting, I was feeling REALLY appreciated. Of course afterward I felt really stupid, because it apparently caught me so off guard that in two of those cases when I had a perfect opportunity to compliment in return, I was so stunned I didn’t think about it until after they walked away. *facepalm* Oh well! I’ll make sure to do better next time!

Monday I was my usual Busy Bee self! I woke up, made breakfast and splurged on some bacon. Did a bit of low-key exercise, weighed in and to my surprise, lost another 1.8 pounds!! Then I dyed my hair (which came out SO GOOD, I’ll post a picture soon!), made Banana Nut Fiber Muffins and cleaned up a little! Keight also had her proper ultrasound and they found out she was 21 weeks along and she was having a GIRL. She also found out that she was already fully dilated and that she needed to go on bed-rest immediately and see a High Risk OBGYN immediately. Scary stuff!

SO.. enter EVIL Tuesday. While most other people dread Mondays, I dread Tuesdays. However, yesterday I woke up and had a great start to my day and was in a great mood. That was until I was on the way into work and my Dad called and told me that I was going to have to handle a meeting that my Step-Mom was supposed to have. Pretty frustrating since Tuesdays are busy enough for me. So I spent the better part of the day talking to the accountant not knowing half of what I was even talking about and yet it seems that someone has given him the impression that I know far more about the business finances than I actually do. It’s scenarios like this that really make me want to abandon this sinking ship before it takes me down with it. I just wanted to go home and cry. I was just completely stressed out and frustrated because once again, because of my Dad’s and Step-mom’s inability to run a business properly, I was once again caught in the middle. My job is hard enough as it is having to work around the mistakes they’ve made and I found out yesterday that all of the crap they had me do was a complete waste and now things are even more complicated. It just sucks. I’m tired of it. Most of the time I don’t mind working here, but when it comes to these things, I’m just over it. I just wish instead of passing the buck to their children, they’d actually take initiative and responsibility for once and do things the RIGHT way themselves. Thankfully today has been a bit better, though!
