WARNING--I MAYBE A BIT SARCASTIC AND WHINEY-I came to the realization today that I need to do what I  need to do in order to be happy. Otherwise I go completely insane and get pretty annoyed/angry for no real reason.

Today I decided I was going to stay at school finish up the lesson plan and then go home. Work out, feed the dogs, make dinner, take a shower. The yesterday me, would have rushed home to be with a guy that isn't that interested in her that close to coming home (needs alone time), says he will feed the dogs...then doesn't...then said dogs get all kooky b/c they are hungry and of course they bug me for food. My lesson still does not get written, and I have rushed my work out b/c dinner has to be on the table by a time that was totally made up in my head. Then I go to bed angry. The dogs dn't get taken out at prescribed time and so therefore one has to go to the bathroom at 5 in the morning (one hour before I need to be awake), she paces until I do get up to let her out b/c boyfriend doesn't wake up for anything.

So...first scenario is in affect tonight. I hope to get more sleep. B/c the way the SO doesn't it just doesn't work for me. I think the one dog is getting old and just can't hold it...so I need to take her out right before bed. SO feels that he should take her out when ever it is conveniant for him and b/c I was PO'd last night I went to be early...but never actually got the benefit of the extra sleep!

All that being said...I get a letter in the mail from some lawyer saying they want their money. Apparently they are trying to collect taxes from when I lived in Virginia. Only I dind't live in VA the year they are trying to collect  on.  VA charges you taxes on your vehicle just b/c you have it in their state. So I'm trying to get paperwork or something to prove. Plus they added 5 % tax onto that. Gotta love the government!

And I realized I"m eating WAAAAAY too much food. I dn't have a scale...but I feel FAT!

Work out went well. Leg felt great today. Today is a regular cross training day...plus it got super cold out and it was snowing so I stayed in doors. Whew..

Just be glad you don't have kids. They always need something too.

Which is exactly like why I don't have any!

It is weird--my schedule changed dramatically and now I feel selfish. LIke I need to steal away the me time..I don't like that guilt feeling!

Life is a balancing act, and when there's any change, it always takes a while to get back into balance.

You'll figure it out. In the meantime, don't be so angry ;) When you feel angry, go yell at Virginia.
