Stuck in a rut

Stuck in a rut

Feb 21

Mentally right now I’m in a huge rut. I’m in a very life sucks and nothing is working out right now woe is me rah rah mood. I’m anti-social to everyone. I’m not talking to my family much, sleeping a lot more, and just…. blah. I usually get on and game every night with guy, alvin, and corey but I don’t even want to do that. I just want to curl up and shut away from everyone. I know this financial rut we hit will pass and we’re already beginning to climb out of it but at a cost.

I miss my husband. Between the fact that his commute is about 25 minutes longer now each way plus us getting a vehicle which requires some maintenance (therefore he spends any waking time in the garage) and overtime the only time I see him is right in the morning when he’s home from work before Gracie wakes up which is anywhere from 7:15-8:30. We cuddle and chat and then he’s off until 5:30/6 and there’s no us time. We don’t have privacy either so even time we do have together is open with everyone else. He’s on a 7 days on 1 day off schedule now so we don’t know when his next days off will be but as of now his next day won’t be until next Saturday which is 13 days straight. Overtime @ $22/hr is nice. I know I sound like I switch thoughts in the middle because I complain about money issues and then when that is being fixed I’m not happy because I miss him too much. I can’t win for losing.

On a positive note my brother got invited to beta test Starcraft 2 and it is AWESOME. He let me have his login info so I can try it out too and it’s just… worth the wait I’d say. I also obtained p90x or should say I’m in the process of it thanks to Anna inspiring me and once I get the program I intend on doing it. Maybe that will give me a goal and something to do every day since it’s very motonous living here. I don’t have the entire house to clean anymore and I get a lot of help with Gracie so I have more free time. I bought a few weights, a yoga mat, and resistance bands along with some protein bars in preparation. I need to find my DVDs to burn the videos. My sister is going to do it with me and maybe my younger brother too since we all need it. For now I’m going to go curl up in bed with some wife swap. Oh what fun.

  1. I think it’s great you’re taking on an exercise program. I don’t wanna go all Tom Cruise on you, but it does wonders for my mood, and I hope it will help you there too!

  2. awwww hun *hugs* I would do the exercise always makes me feel better :)

  3. Ugh, I know how you feel. We’ve hit a bit of a bump recently, and as much as I try not to worry about it, it kind of drags me down. But hey, if you want to start exercising, when you’re in a dumpy kind of mood is the best time. It may be a bit hard to get motivated, but once you start don’t stop and you’ll feel way better. Endorphins rock XD

    Oh yeah, I’ve been using exercise videos from fitsugar.com, they’re pretty awesome and totally free.

  4. I’m sorry you’re in a bit of a rut right now. I hope things pick up for you. Maybe this new exercise program will give you the lift you need! I can’t wait to hear about it.
