So I missed a few days...Today's Prompt is: It Happened at Daycare

It happened at daycare?  What did? Honestly folks, I've got nothing for this one.  I never went to daycare and I was lucky enough to have a mom that happily cared for my son while I worked (THANKS MOM!!!) so I have no daycare stories to tell.

I skipped blogging for the last few days of my vacation.  It was a great break from work and I wish I didn't have to go back today.  I wish I didn't have to go back tomorrow either.  I find my job endlessly frustrating lately. All of it, coworkers, customers, forms, requests the whole lot of it can go take a long walk off a short pier.  So I applied for three different jobs internally this morning.  I probably won't get a call back on any of them but at least I tried.  I'll keep trying too,  I think I need the change.  I need to do the "self review" part of our annual reviews tomorrow or by Friday at the latest.  I have no idea what to say in that either.  "I showed up and did stuff and only complained a little" is probably what I'll end up writing.  Better than last years' "I suck."   I know I'm complaining about work a lot, it makes me grouchy and instantly puts me in a bad mood.  My girlfriend dreads "work Catie" aka grouchy, all business, no fun, this is my bag of caring - sorry it's empty, don't bother me unless you want your head bitten off Cate.  Don't blame her, that Catie is kind of a heartless bitch. I don't like her either.   What makes me really sad is that I have a decent job.  What if it was a terrible one? How cranky would I be then? Maybe it's better to not find out.

My son and my mom are visiting my sister in North Carolina this week so the house is super quiet.  Its just me and my super awesome cat, Horace, tonight.  I do miss my little guy (OK OK, fine he's not a little guy really, he's a 6' 1" 17 year old) but I'm also enjoying the quiet.   Is it terrible to say that I didn't mind coming home to a quiet, empty house?  I made a quick (carb free!) dinner, watched an episode of the Big Bang Theory and grabbed a shower.  I skipped water aerobics because I just didn't feel like going.   I love the class but didn't feel like being around people.  I think home, alone with the cat and some Netflix and an early nap time is just about the best ending to my day.  Fingers crossed tomorrow will be better.  Maybe I'll be less grouchy :-)

Love,

Catie

Blogging as Therapy

It hit me recently that I blog like I would talk to my therapist. Some days I wish I still had one. She got tired of me and booted me out of therapy. Ok, not really,after 10 or so sessions she gently told me that I was ok. I had established boundaries and worked out some coping skills and didn't need a therapist anymore. I'm welcome back anytime.  I liked therapy, when I started I really thought I was losing my mind (long story, very long) having a 3rd party review all the evidence (mostly texts) and listen to me talk for an hour or so at a time then tell me I was NOT crazy was really helpful. I credit her with keeping P & I together. This blog is helping too. When I'm frustrated with life in general I come here and type away. So thank you all for reading. And for the couple comments I've gotten over the past month or so I really appreciate it. 😄 That said, I'm thinking of going back to my therapist for a few sessions. I need to figure out why I'm somehow

Hello Neglected Blog!

I'm sorry I've been gone for so long. Things have been weird since the election and I haven't felt like posting. I think I was in shock. I honestly didn't think this country was dumb enough to actually fall for the orange idiot, I was wrong. Very wrong. And it felt like I was punched in the gut. The only good thing to come of it is that women are finally banding together again. I wish I could have been at the march in Washington but work, money, etc. I was definitely there in spirit. Anyway, politics aside things have been going well in general. I still love P&H, I still need to lose weight, I still hate winter. I also still hate my job and haven't found another. What HAVE done is signed up for a postpartum doula class!!  I can't wait! I've already finished reading the required books, I have a list of questions for the instructors (just in case they don't answer them during class.) Does this mean I'll have a new career? Who knows but this is a

Hello, I Am a Podcast Addict

It hit me today that I listen to a lot of podcasts. Like,a lot of podcasts. All day really. I love pods. I learn lots, I'm entertained, sometimes I'm freaked out. I thought I'd share my top 10 and why I love them.  1. The Birth Hour Podcast -  So I think I've mentioned a few times before that I am going to start Doula classes next month (and if I haven't done that here, surprise!) This pod is all about letting women tell their birth and postpartum stories, the good, the fantastic, the terrible. I love everything about this pod and consider it part of my doula training. 2. Star Talk with Neil Degrasse Tyson - Do I really need to say more than that? this pod is fun and educational and Dr. Tyson interviews a surprising array of people. I learn something every time I listen.  3. Welcome to Nightvale - This was the first pod I ever listed to. I have no idea how to describe this one. Just listen if you like weird and slightly creepy storytelling.  4. Dearest Doula
