Lots to Update

(cycle 6, day 14)

lots is going on lately. it seems we're always busy, or at least one of us always has something on the go. its getting a little tiring never really getting quality time together other than when we're laying in bed after a long day. it sucks, i won't lie about that. it's making me look forward to that week in mexico even more since i will get his undivided attention, something i haven't had much of since san diego...

sean's been working on his uncles truck outside of work hours, so that keeps him away. he was at the shop wednesday night, friday night, saturday, last night and tonight. on friday he also went out with friends to play hockey at the local outdoor rink. i dont mind him doing the extra work, its just tiring when he's never home to help me out with keeping the house in order.

on friday i started a weekend project, the linen closet. i probably couldve had it done a day sooner, but we didn't have any drywall mud left from the basement and i wanted to do it right instead of just good enough. so i had to wait until morning to buy more. so i patched the holes that were left from taking out the old shelving brackets and then had to wait for the mud to dry.... so sunday morning i woke up and got to work on painting the closet so that i could put up the new sheves that night and be done and put everything back in there before the week started. it turned out great and i did all of it myself without ANY help. i even took the door off and put back up by myself. i'm pretty proud about that. and i love that its all organized and more useful instead of one useless shelf at the top and only 2 others. now i have 4 functional shelves : ) the only thing left is to eventually replace the door when we replace the rest in the house that aren't new, oh and buy a new door pull to replace the stupid wood one on the door right now, haha.

while i was waiting on the mud to dry on my weekend project, i went for an impromptu trip to the city with my aunt to go shopping and see my cousins that i havent seen since xmas, which is the main reason i agreed to go ; ) it was also nice to get out of the house for a bit too. that night we caught up on all our shows that we download from the week so it was nice to relax with him even for just a few hours of the weekend. on sunday, while i was waiting for the paint to dry i spend the day at a girlfriends for a 'spa day' to celebrate her birthday. it took a lot longer than i thought it would, but again, it was nice to get out of the house and socialize. after i finally got home, i went out and did groceries, then put up the new shelves in the closet and went to bed. it was a very busy weekend and i never even got any studying in!

its so hard to keep up when i'm having to do the work of 2 people around the house because seans too busy. if i'm not working i'm studying, if i'm working or studying i'm attempting to clean the house and catch up on dishes, if i'm not doing any of those i'm making supper, and if i have any time after all of that, it's watching our designated shows on designated nights with no real quality time together. it's really starting to get to me and i'm getting irritable because of it. i'm finding myself wanting to freak out on people who probably don't deserve it. i want life to slow down and go back to normal before the wedding. we've been going a million miles a minute ever since the wedding with the reno to the basement, the holidays, winding down from the holidays and then the craziness of winning the lottery. i just want it to stop! i dont see an end in sight for our busy lives at least until after our week in mexico : (

to top off our busy schedule, my mother-in-law is coming out next week for 2 weeks. at least she'll be at his sister's for most of it, but i'm sure we'll have to go see her after she gets here, and then have her down for a weekend before she leaves. its a lot to handle right now in the middle of everything else we have going on.

this busy life we have right now can GO TO HELL!
