missing my man

Nightly News

Trying to balance staying informed and not turning into a depressed ball of sadness over the state of the world.

The way he smiles in the morning

Almost 11 hours with a 6 year old today:

Breakfast out; Running all over the Academy of Science; Running all around Golden Gate Park; Getting lost driving in the city; Dinner out; Drive him to visit mom; Drive him home.

I forgot how tiring babysitting is. I. Am. Exhausted.

Sign of getting old:

Creating a shopping list for the steak dinner you are going to make your boyfriend is the start of a good Saturday night.

Oh my, I forgot how much Remember the Titans makes me tear up.

Champagne kicked my ass last night. Otherwise, it was a lovely wonderfully fun long weekend.

About to head out for an extend New Year weekend! Please please work/bosses stay away.

11pm text from the boss last night saying I need to come in today for what will likely be no more than 10 minutes. This is SUCH a waste of a commute. Apparently no one in that office is capably of printing out a few documents?! Come on, no one is that incompetent or busy. I know they are all going to be using the computers and are going to act like I’m in the way and inconveniencing them by being there. #HateMyJob #FeelingUsed
