Not pleased!

I showed up to work at 7am, only to be greeted with "oh, we don't need you today".  Excuse me?  We left Texas 3 days earlier than we had to so that I could be at work on Friday.  Missed Weston's 1st birthday.  Left Chicago sooner than we would have liked to.  B could have checked back in on Monday and we could have left Texas on Saturday, not Wednesday.  I know what's done is done, and there is no point in crying over spilt milk.  But really?

I was in such shock.  The kids' dad goes "You didn't come back early to be here, did you?"  I replied, "ya. Kind of", complete with my bitch look.  I'm giving them my resignation letter on Wednesday and will be done nannying by mid-March.

To make the best of my unexpected free day I packed up all our Christmas decorations, cleaned the first floor, organized my sewing supplies, joined our local gym, got my allergy shots, and made an appointment to get a pedicure on Monday.

I am SO excited about joining a gym!  Going to workout classes is my favorite way to keep in shape, and the gym is .5 miles away, door to door!  B suggested I just go to the free classes at the gym on base, but let's be honest.  If I have to spend 30 minutes driving and parking, I won't go.  So I am spending 41 dollars of my personal allowance (money that we both get each month for fun stuff- our date nights, coffee, etc) on  my gym membership.  Money well spent, if you ask me!

  1. I totally drive 30 minutes to the gym in Temecula from my home in Fallbrook. The base gym would be even longer! BLAH! But, I love working out at this place and my enjoyment is what keeps me commuting. :)
