Surly Pregnant Woman

Yikes!  I don't know whose temperament I was channeling on Friday, but it was not pretty.  And it didn't particularly feel all that good either.  I was normal for the first hour I was awake.  And then Patches ate my jog bra.  My last good jog bra.  The only one remaining that I could wear and could actually keep my new bodacious ta-tas from bouncing around.  The one that cost $35.  I had left the bra on top of the laundry basket and he snatched it off and took it to his favorite chew spot outside and had his way with it.

Now, normally, that would bug me.  But it wouldn't cause me to wail and curse and sob that all I have left now are clothes from Target, Payless or consignment shops.  (Patches has truly eaten close to $800 of my clothes and good shoes.  At least he has good taste?)  I realize that part of this is the grieving over the fact that I'm not wearing any "cute" clothes right now because the belly makes that a bit impossible.  And maternity clothes can be nice, but they really aren't as cute as clothes you can wear in the spring when your belly is flat.  And part of that reaction has to be hormones. 

And to add on to that glorious start of the day, not being able to find my purse before leaving in the morning doesn't usually cause me to stand outside on my deck with silent tears streaming down my face while my wonderful husband tries to think of anything....ANYTHING....that will make me feel better. I felt so rotten I couldn't even hug him. 

It just wasn't a good day all around (although I found my purse at my office where I'd left it the day before).  I was still angry and surly at Lowes and Home Depot picking up plants for Saturday's garden and landscaping adventures.  Really, people, HAVE YOUR MONEY READY AT THE FRICKIN' CHECK OUT LINE.  WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THERE IF YOU AREN'T GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE GOT IN YOUR CART??  There is no reason to sit there until the end of your transaction and THEN search around for something to pay with. And why, if this is the season for planting herbs and tomatoes, are there not herbs and tomatoes available for planting??  Really.  And why does it seem that Home Depot and Lowes both go out of their way to hide carts?  there were none in the parking lot, and I walked into and out of both stores searching for cart onto which to put the massive amounts of plants I was planning on buying.

And to top it all off, Friday night I had the worst indigestion I've had the whole pregnancy.  I couldn't even eat dinner.  I actually worked through dinner--from 6:30 until 10:30---finishing up the trim around the new family room and trying to fix the many, many, many, many, many spots where I didn't tape correctly and so the blue room color overlapped the white color on the trim, the blue didn't cover the old terra cotta, and more commonly, the white trim overlapped the blue room color.  Bleah.  It's Sunday morning, now and Dave is finishing up fixing the trim. 

We spent all (and I mean all) of yesterday doing yardwork.  More on that tomorrow.  The good news is that super surly pregnant woman only made an appearance on Friday.  By Saturday, I was back to normal.  Whatever that means.
