Word of the day: Frustrated!!

Today's word of the day is frustrated and there are so many reasons why!  My school schedule has changed this week from 4 days a week to only 2 days a week and while this is great because I get great Carder time it is so frustrating!!  A week or so ago it was warm enough to be outside and enjoy the day, this week not so much. Carder and I have spent our last few days stuck in the house and we are both past stir crazy.  We both miss our walks so much its rediculous.  Before we were walking once if not two or three times a day and Carder loved it because we were outside and I loved it because I was loosing weight.  I haven't got to take a nice long walk outside for the last couple days and can definately feel it. 

As for other reasons I am frustrated, We spent all of yesterday afternoon at the dr's office with Chet.  Today they called with his blood work results and said they still dont know what it is but some of his levels are elevated.  Here is the best part.... They wanted him to have an ultrasound done to rule out the posibility of gallbladder, spleen, and pancreas problems and they wanted it done quick.  Now what is their idea of quick...a week I guess. He wont have his ultrasound done until next week and then has to go back to the doctor after that.  Until then he is suppose to take it easy and not do anything strenuous.  If any one knows my husband you know that is not going to happen so I spend my entire time yelling at him to quit doing things he isn't suppose to do.  Very FRUSTRATING!!!! 

Then tonight we went into Kay's to talk to them about my rings and their answer to everything was just exchange them for a new set.  I spent all of 20 minutes looking at rings and contemplating this when I finally told the lady I couldn't that my rings had too much sentimental value in which she responded by say well I guess we will replate them and  you will just have an old set of rings then.  Does anyone respect tradition or understand sentimental value anymore??? In their opinion and newer bigger flasher ring was the better option.  My answer is that engagement ring is the ring Chet put on my finger the night he asked me to be his wife,  the wedding ring is the ring he put on my finger when he promised to love honor and cherish me for all our lives, and that set of rings are the rings I wore the night my son was born.  So to me they mean more to me than any new flashy ring!!

My last reason for being so frustrated is that I have spent the last few weeks trying to make better decissions and walking and working out to loose weight and not once have I been told that I am doing a good job or that I look so much better!! It makes me want to give up and go get a half dozen Larry's House of Cakes cupcakes and eat them all!!! Just once I would like to be told I'm proud of you or you look great but I guess I'll just be frustrated instead!

  1. I'm proud of you! But better make it a dozen cupcakes and drive up north and share them with me. I could use a few myself. And a beer.

  2. You are doing a great job Bethany, life gives us challenges to see if we are strong. Girl you are strong and you will defeat the ugliness that is. We will get together soon I promise, and I think we should make it two dozen cupcakes, a dozen cookies and beer with Chicago Style pizza. I still think we need to abduct Joy soon, real soon :)
