Work was completely crazy and the thought of the next 3 weeks was flipping me out. Crazy Busy!!!!

So I went home and told dh I wanted a lunch date. Today!!!! Kids invited.

So yeah, will have a lunch date. I sometimes go home for little lunch dates, but thought it would be nice to just go out.

Anyway, when I got home, found that teacher conference was scheduled perfect so we could meet for lunch and then go straight there. It was our only hope for a private lunch date. & I had given up. Yay! Now I have 2 lunch dates.

We don't have time to drop off BM anywhere so I guess he is invited to conference. (No time since it starts right after school!). Which is fine. We were going to be polite and arrange care. Now we will save our pennies.

So yeah, that will be interesting. School has been a much easier adjustment than I envisioned. Will see what teach has to say.

We also got our first fundraising thing from the school. Dh was griping how he doesn't like institutions that beg for money. I told him to get over it. It's for some event in February. It's the first time we have been solicited for a dime. I told him all my friends had 10 fundraisers already, so yeah, we have it easy.

----------------------------

Our home was appraised today. Dh is really grumpy about this whole refi thing. We have had some bad experiences. Anyway, I called and he was in a good mood. I assumed he had forgotten about the appraiser or something. LOL. Instead he says, "I really liked that guy. He was nice."

LOL. Um okay. They guy had to be one hell of a nice guy to get dh out of his anti-refinance funk. Color me confused. But glad I didn't have to hear about it.

----------------------------

Dh has been REALLY super busy. His volunteer duties for the year will be over next Wednesday. Thanks Goodness!!!!!! Looks like a tornado hit the house. My Honey Do list has been neglected. But I can't blame him. HE volunteered like 50 hours total, over the last 2 weeks.

He also is getting the ball rolling on 2 film projects.

Dh moves at a snail's pace. I am afraid the timing is not good. Getting busy just as the kids get a bunch of time off school? & tax season starts? Oh well, he will have to figure it out. (He didn't really do anything the last few months when things were REALLY slow).

----------------------------------

Since dh was free last night and I was feeling healthy, I should have gone to aerobics.

Instead I just REALLY wanted to go home and eat a bag of chips.

I gave in. I think I missed dh too much though. I felt much better once I got home. I'd barely seen him the last 2 weeks.

I may go to the gym tonight to make it up.

Aerobics tomorrow. I need it all more with the increased stress level at work.

As always this time of year, I have no idea how to cram all that work into the last 2-3 weeks of the year. Somehow we always do it. But I always freak out about now. It's overwhelming.
