Annabelle3117's Journal, 14 May 14

Good morning buddies!Thank you everyone for always commenting on my journals. It is greatly appreciated, and always a big help to know I'm not alone in whatever struggles I'm facing. Today we evict the Nellies and the Nancy's. When I finally grow a pair and buy a summer dress I will most definitely be sharing pictures, looking forward to it. Yesterday I wore shorts! I felt naked lol, but I wore shorts. Hooray!! I got home from work and my husband immediately commented that he liked my shorts, even he noticed lol.

The kittens are well, Meg. Thank you for asking! All five are officially eating soft foods on their own and using the litter box, but lord in heaven are they messy! I have to basically hose them down after every feeding. I hope they improve their eating and self cleaning skills asap. After loads of research and thorough examination I have determined without a shadow of a doubt that I have three boys and two girls. One of the girls is the runt, and happens to look exactly like her mom in coloring. Mom was also very very small. She may have to stay with me in place of the mom I couldn't save, as well as her brother who I hand picked to keep the day my husband brought them to me. Soon I will be the crazy cat lady lol. But they will be spayed/neutered, just as my one year old cat Bella is. I'm a big supporter of controlling the cat population, if more people were perhaps their mom wouldn't have been in such a dire situation. Enough Bob Barker'ing :-) I'll move on lol

Yesterday I got a power hour in at the gym, which was just forty five minutes on the elliptical. I kicked it's ass, and left with my shirt soaked... yuck! I found it hilariously ironic that as I was leaving my friend Judy was at the front desk, cancelling her membership. Too funny, but I agree with her decision. If you're not going to use it don't pay for it. Unfortunately being a member of a gym doesn't burn the extra calories lol. If only it were that easy! I didn't get any strength training in, so I might go back today. We will see. ATF were on point yesterday, and I intend the same today. I have been using these high fiber low carb tortillas to make wraps, and they have done wonders for my regularity. Sorry if that's TMI, but I know a lot of people struggle with that.

This morning I have a meeting with financial aid for nursing school after I drop the lil one off at preschool. I still have to bathe him, and five kittens. Non stop action around here!

Saturday night I had an honest conversation with my husband about how I don't feel like he puts forth enough effort to help me, or do thoughtful things for me. I told him over and over all week that the only day we would have to ourselves was Saturday (before mother's day) but he spent the whole day at his dads and I spent the day alone. I was a tad upset. It ended up being a well needed open conversation, no argument, and he agreed that he would feel the same as I if the roles were reversed. He has done the dishes for me every night since lol. I do need the help, and I have greatly appreciated it. I hope it sticks!

Counting down the days to father's day, can't wait for our camping trip. My husband and I are contemplating moving down to southern ohio after I graduate from nursing school. I kind of just want something that's mine, if that makes any sense. My husband and I were married down there, in Hocking hills, and I would love to live down there. Long time before that comes to fruition, but it's nice to daydream about.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!!

Good job taking care of the kittens. I know it has been a lot of work and probably added stress, but they probably wouldn't have made it without you.

Great job on the shorts, that feeling of being naked will soon go away. I too support spay/neutering of all animals. Please let me know what the name of those tortillas are, because I love making sandwiches out of wraps but can't find a good one. Never stop dreaming, because as they say we make our own dreams come true. Have a great day.

I am a fellow cat lover here that has also rescued and found home for quite a few feral kittens in the area. Good for your for trying to do the right thing! :-) *claps loudly*

Glad things are going great for you and your kittens. She may not stay the runt for long. When our cat chose us she was the runt of runts now you wouldn't even notice it. Our Boost is a calico

Never stop dreaming. About anything in your life.

Good job to the hubby (and for you talking to him about frustrations before it escalated into an argument - or into eating to cover frustrations which is something I used to do!). I agree - dream big! You've already started with the weight loss and nursing school - don't stop there!

Thanks for the update on the kitties! So glad you are keeping some. I would definitely cancel my Y membership - but I can't because I'm there 2- 3 times a week! hehehe! It is nice that your hubby is at least showing some signs of stepping up. Southern Ohio sounds pretty. :)

I'm sure your hubby liked the shorts, guys love to see skin. :) Glad the kitties are all doing well, it will be no time before they're big enough to send to new, happy homes. I'm glad too that you talked to your hubby and he's on board to help out. He'll probably enjoy having his wife happier and with more time since he's pitched in. :) Feel free to daydream, sometimes that's good motivation.
