Well, another week is upon us. Whee. No overtime for me this week which means I get 2 hours of my life back every day. Yippee. I was looking forward to sleeping that extra hour BUT NOOOOOOO.... had some weird dream (about AOS of all things... not something I'm even thinking about yet) and woke up into an ugly anxiety attack. This was never my life before this stupid process. Now I feel I'm becoming certifiably insane. So my Monday starts off with a heaping helping of the feeling of impending doom. Freeway here I come. Blah. and Blah again. I remember when life used to be normal...

I know what you mean about nightmares! I've had plenty along the way myself. Hopefully it is out of your system for now, and you can sleep in that extra hour tomorrow.

I was awakened twice in the middle of the night by my parents' dogs. We were dogsitting this weekend, and I have the blurry eyes to show for it! I am going to bed extra early tonight.

Other than that, the weekend was really nice. We did some shopping and went to see Miami Vice last night. It wasn't a stellar film, by any means. It wasn't horrible, but it really wasn't that great. Amed and I did get to spend a lot of quality time together, though, which was the first time in a long time.

Now, it's Monday, and it's back to work! All I want to do is crawl back into bed.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Hi everyone. I am just marking the days off the calender, one at a time. 12 more days to go!!! Hachemi is trying to get his things in order before he leaves. I cant wait for him to get here.

My daughter and my granddaughter, Annalee, were here this weekend. My house is a mess. It will take me 2 days to get it back like it was. My daughter thinks she is on holiday when she comes and doesnt bother to help with anything. And what gets me is she gets mad if I ask her to help. I guess I will get started. I cant stand it when my house is messed up. Hope everyone has a good day.

I have no idea how I am awake this morning. Adil and I went to Virginia Beach this weekend. We drove down in 5 hours on Saturday, and drove back last night in 8 hours! There was so much traffic on I-95 between Richmond and Washington DC! We got home last night at 2:30am and went to sleep about 3am. I was supposed to be awake at 6 but woke up at 6:45. I was running around the house like a mad woman! I was to the point where I was shaking because of no sleep. Now I am at work and I keep drifting off to sleep. My eyes are so heavy! I need somedthing to wake me up!

Our time in Virginia Beach was very fun. We spent Saturday evening at the resort in the pool. Our friend Salah came to join us. We then decided to go down to the oceanfront and walk the "boardwalk" which is a paved walkway! We couldn't find anywhere to eat once we got there. Everything was either way too expensive or closed. While we were walking back, I saw a Blimpie sandwich shop. So we ate at Blimpie then went to Catch 31 at the Hilton. It was a very interesting restrauant/bar. Very packed and people kept putting their drinks on our table while we were sitting at it! Oh well. It was still fun hanging out with friends and talking. We got back to the resort around 2:30a and fell right asleep. We woke around 10 and went to Waffle House! Yay! I begged him to take me! I haven't been there in like 3 years. So we ate there and then went down to the beach. We rented one of those two person bikes that look like a car. We rode it for an hour! It was not easy! Adil wouldn't peddle half the time even though it was his idea! I got to steer at least. Then we laid on the beach for 4 hours. We were planning on leaving at 4, but the guys tricked me and put more money in the meter and told me I had to stay til 6! So we left about 6:30 and headed back to Philadelphia. We were so tired! We could barely keep our eyes open the whole way. Every time I drifted off he would jerk the car

We got home safe and sound and we hit the bed so hard!

That was my weekend! I am so exhausted! I think I am going to go straight home after work and go straight to bed. I don't know how I am going to make it through today. I hope I don't give out too much money because I can't count straight. But the good news is that my 1 year review is coming up and I just got a raise! :dance: Yay for me! I wonder if I should get a new note from my employer since my annual income just raised and I haven't sent to AOS yet? My mind wanders a lot when I am tired! :blink: Can't believe I typed all of this either! Sorry!

So I am going to go now and attempt to work and stay awake. I hope everyone has a wonderfully exciting Monday!

Two Hearts, Two Different Places, Sharing One Dream

We were strangers~ Starting out on a journey~Never dreaming What we'd have to go through ~Now here we are ~ And I'm suddenly standing ~ At the beginning with you ~ No one told me I was going to find you ~ Unexpected ~ What you did to my heart ~ When I lost hope You were there to remind me ~ This is the start ~ Life is a road And I want to keep going ~ Love is a river I wanna keep flowing ~ Life is a road Now and forever ~ Wonderful journey ~ I'll be there When the world stops turning~ I'll be there When the storm is through ~ In the end I wanna be standing At the beginning with you~

So I am still awake, barely. Work is slow. I just had lunch outside in the shade with a good book. I love long lunches. Tried to take a nap, but realized if I did I wouldn't wake up in time to go back to work. ANyway, today is going good. I can't wait to get out of work. My hubby is taking me out for ice cream! Yay! Been craving ice cream for a few weeks. Looks like I finally get to have some.

I have a random question. So many of ya'll are pregnant, and I was wondering how did you first find out. I've been having some really strange feelings and I keep looking for symptoms, but I just can't tell! My "aunt Flow" should be arriving this week, and I am on BC, but I have been feeling wierd. Headaches, nausea, dizzy, tired, cravings for hot dogs and pickles and ice cream, and I have to pee way more than normal! Is it possible that I could be pregnant? Should I get a home pregnancy test? Should I do it before my time is supposed to come or after? I know that there is a very slim chance that I am only because I am on BC, but two of my friends were on BC and they both got pregnant. I don't know what to do! Oh boy! Any help or advice would be wonderful!

Hope everyone is having a great day so far!
