Today is Wednesday, but for me this whole week has felt like a Monday! Over and over again like a horrible "Groundhog Day" thing.
On Monday-Monday, DH informed me that he will be spending an extra week away for work. This is nothing unusual, other than the fact that we have all sorts of plans next week and the intention was for him to be home in time for all of those plans... and now he won't be. Thankfully I managed to find someone else to go to a show with me and re-scheduled an appointment we had but, unfortunately, I had to give him a bit of information about his surprise b-day BBQ. He said it was fine that I told him, but I am still upset. Anyhow, plenty more surprises on the way so not a big deal I guess. Anyhow, at night I decided to use our pool for the first time and clean out the skimmer too. More on this in a moment...
Tuesday-Monday went pretty well during the day. Been pretty busy but everything is going well. I came home and decided to go in the pool again for a bit and that is when I saw it. My brand new 100$ bathing suit, that I am in love with and had never worn prior to the day before, was ruined! While cleaning out the skimmer the night before, I guess I rubbed the fabric too hard on the cement and I made my whole right boob FUZZY! I came back inside as soon as I noticed and order a new one online (which was now 35$). Then, I made some pasta and when i went to shake the parmesan the top flew off and I got cheese all over my kitchen!
Wednesday-Monday things started to look up. I woke up with a splitting headache and was about to stay home until I remembered I HAD to go in to work for something today. I got up and got ready and while I was a little bit too early for my usual bus, I was just on time for the one before so with a little run down the path I caught it and ran into a friend so I had some company on the way to work at least. In the middle of the day something struck me and I decided to double check which bathing suit I had ordered, and sure enough it was the wrong one! Similar but not the same. This evening I decided to go back to the store to see if they had any left at all and they didn't... BUT... I got the item number, called another location and they have put one aside for me! You know, it's not every day that I actually like the way a bathing suit looks on me... in fact, I don't think that I ever have! So, I am super happy about that now and I have cancelled my online order as well! New one for vacations, damaged one for home. Yay!
So, it is nearly Thursday and it seems that "Monday" has finally left me. Even better, I don't work on Friday!!! DH was supposed to be come home on Friday, but I will live.

Definition Of My Life: The Work Widow!
I am having an FML kind of day today, and no I do not intend to go into detail. However, to sum things up, here is the current definition of my life as described by Urban Dictionary:
Work Widow: Commonly found among the partners of consultants and salespeople, a state of "temporary widowhood" caused by the work or work travel schedule of a significant other. A woman, married or in a relationship, who is often left alone on a regular basis for significant periods of time (multiple days), enough to seem to be single or without companionship. (Male version: Work Widower)
It is not that I don't understand what is going on right now, it's just that I am tired and fed up with it. Those who live (or have lived) this life understand how I am feeling right now and thank you for being there for me.
I don't want pity or sympathy from anyone - I just needed to vent... so, FML!

June Updates!
Not much going on really, but I realized that I haven’t posted in awhile so I thought I would take a minute and write something before the long weekend!
So, what’s been happening?
We were supposed to be on vacation this week but since DH was sent back to Germany again we had to cut things short. We spent a couple of days in Ottawa last week over St-Jean and from the looks of things we won’t be taking any more vacation for the rest of the summer. I don’t really mind since I would rather travel during the winter anyhow. Thinking of a little fun in Vegas, relaxing in the Caribbean, and an adventure or two over in Europe in the next year depending on how things go. We will see!
Also, I have officially been smoke free for over 6 months now. I still get the odd craving, mainly when I am stressing out, but they pass. No point giving in now after all this time, right?
I have been lucky enough to see my niece every weekend since she was born but since DH is away for a couple of weeks I probably won’t see her until mid July *sniff*. Don’t grow too much too quickly and be good to mommy who is home alone with you now!
Other than that there is not much to report. Happy long weekend everyone!

I'm An Aunt!!!
Joy – noun: 1. the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying; keen pleasure; elation. 2. a source or cause of keen pleasure or delight; something or someone greatly valued or appreciated. 3. the expression or display of glad feeling.
Late at night on Saturday June 4th (2011) I oficially became an aunt! I got to spend some time with my niece on Sunday in the hospital and for the first time ever I wasn't afraid to hold a newborn! And I may be biased, but she is one of the sweetest babies I have ever seen! So alert and observant already too. Now I know what unconditional love really means...
Congratulations again! I am so happy for you guys and I can't wait to see the little munchkin again! You have an extra room for me to move into, right? Just kidding!
