Friday Wrap up

HELLOOOO FRIDAY! I am so excited that this week is coming to an end. It was a difficult week but at least I got to sign my contract and maybe some of the extreme angst I have will lift. The problem is is that I internalize stress and anger and hurt and then I eat and then I get the sads and then I eat and then I get the fats and then I am sad again. But hopefully, things will start to look up because it is about damn time. And I have a feeling things will.

So end of week stats:

Gym visits: 3

Daycare runs: 3

Compliments on new hair style: 5

Calories consumed: Oh, I'm sorry, I can't type the numbers through all the self-hating sobbing

Number of times I thought to myself how lucky I am to have an incredible child: Too many to count

Number of times I kicked the Husband to give the Kid milk at 4:30 in the morning: 5 (and apparently if I repeat "It is 4:30" three times while kicking the Husband, I will make him angry)

Ripped crotch in pants: 1

Blood tests: 1

Vow to start low carbing again next week: a bajillion

Forgotten smoothie in Kid's stroller: 1

Purchase of cheapy cars for child bribing purposes: 5

Number of times the Husband said "Your test results will be fine" to which I yelled "YOU DON'T KNOW MY BLOOD!": too many times to count

Number of Christmas DVDs purchased: 3

Number of Halloween magazines purchased that I have stored and will not even crack open until October 1st 2014: 2

Crockpot used: 1

Purchase of a Michael Buble Christmas CD because my Christmas will be the ultimate cheese-fest: 1

Numbers of times my blog was viewed this week: approximately 500 (thank you, thank you, thank you)

And, since I wrote the stats early this morning before my doctor visit to review my test results...Now I can add...

Clean bill of health: 1

And so, now I can stop with the heart palpitations and truly enjoy my weekend. I realize how incredibly lucky I truly am. And this visit to the doctor is a huge relief and was a huge hurdle for me to overcome. I haven't been this stressed out in a very long time. I guess that's why she hugged me after my check up. There may have been some tears.

Happy Friday!

A Key Word Post

I didn't have anything specific to post tonight because nothing terribly exciting happened over the weekend. Which is actually a good thing. That means it was a chillaxed weekend with no need to look up divorce lawyers or boarding schools for toddlers. So, that means that I will write things based on some key words... long story short, lots of short stories. So here we go! The daycare: This morning was my morning to bring the Kid. By 8 he was in his coat and shoes and I was in my fake fur vest and heels. We headed out and rounded the corner and walked through the front gate. He jumped out of his stroller and headed to the front door. It was locked. I tried a couple times to open it and the Kid started to whine. One of the providers came to the door and explained the daycare was closed for the day. Apparently it was staff development day and someone (the Husband) did not see the signs up last week that they were closed today. I apologized and tried to call the Husband while tryi...

The Way Some People Find my Blog and a Challenge

Image
Now, I am not sure why people read my blog. O.k., there are some reasons that people read my blog... they are interested in autism, they like my use of gifs, they are my friends and want to support me, sometimes I make them laugh, they want to see if they are mentioned in it, they live in Vienna and want to know where I go so they can avoid bumping into me... I don't have a sophisticated stat counter on my blog. The only thing I can really see is the number of page views, which countries those page views are coming from and what people search for and somehow end up on my blog. So I decided today to post the most common terms that bring people to my page. And some of them are amusing. Pros and cons to living in Vienna : This one is pretty understandable. I did a whole "pros vs. cons" post a while ago. I think if I had to move to a new city I would most likely type in the same thing. As well as, "average price of alcohol". Salma Hayek naked : I have abso...

How to Dress Rich - Old Money

Image
Back in March, the Husband and I enjoyed an amazing night at the Bristol. It was a gift from my parents and probably the most amazing thing about that night was that we got a complimentary upgrade. We laughed, we danced and then I stopped and said in a serious tone to the Husband "It's cause we dressed rich an you know it." And then I danced some more and drank Moet Chandon straight from the bottle. I have class and you know it. Dressing rich is not that hard and doesn't have to cost that much. Now I am not talking about Kardashian rich (that money is the money of Satan), I am talking old school money, country clubs and drinking scotch. Here are some tips to how you can dress to look rich for different occasions (please note that this is in no way making fun of rich people, poor people or any people. This is based on observations on my part and the deep seated desperation of wanting to be a rich WASP from the East Coast. Pick me!). Dressing old school money pretty m...
