Who Invited The Bear?

This weekend was not my greatest weekend ever. I was, unfortunately, hormonal and moody all weekend. Saturday morning hubby left bright and early to go paintballing with some work friends, and that left me at odds all day with no real plan. I ended up wandering around target and going dress shopping for a couple hours, but still had time to kill until my cousin’s bday party that night. He and his family are moving to Hawaii in 4 days and this was one of the last get togethers we would all have as a family. I called my aunt and asked if I could hitch a ride up with her to the party that way hubs could meet me there in his car and we could drive back together. The party was mostly fun. I had gotten a sandwich to eat because they were planning on ordering pizza (a no no) and wings and cake and ice cream (also no nos). I ate my sandwich while everyone else enjoyed the good things in life and what do you know...my #&%@ number was $%*&#@ high anyways! Ugh. That ruined my night. It meant I couldn’t have even a bite of the cake. That was homemade and I know from experience is delicious. I was on the verge of a the-straw-that-broke-the-camels-back-meltdown. We left early. I finally lost it when we get home in a spectacular woe-is-me meltdown while hubby tried to cheer me up. I cried it out and went to bed early. It was more that everyone else had no cares in the world and could eat seconds, and pizza AND ice cream and cake. And here I had to eat my own food and not snack o the chips and grapes and strawberries. It’s not as bad when it’s just my diet, but I haven’t been around other people eating all the things I can’t before in a large setting and with so many things. Thus ended Saturday. Sunday was mostly ok, I was still cranky from Saturday but we got up, went to church and stayed for the members meeting after with lunch. They hired a food truck to come and cater lunch and we split spinach and pork pierogies and they were delicious. The church meeting went over the expenses of the church, the plans for a new building, and what’s going on in all the ministries and was very informative. The meeting ended and we socialized and I signed up to help in the children’s ministry and we went home. Once home, the internet on my phone stopped working and, already not in the best mindset, I had a mini tantrum- and my saintly hubby who puts up with so much fixed it for me. I apologized for all past, present, and future snapping and he cuddled me and we talked for a bit. We called his mom from the chair because we both miss her and we wanted to catch up and see how her vegan diet affected her cholesterol etc. we spent a good 40 minutes on the phone with her talking about what’s going on at her house and what we are up to (minus the pregnancy because they don’t know yet). Once off the phone I was really comfortable sprawled on the chair getting my back rubbed so we stayed instead of going out like we had planned. Next thing either of us know is we are asleep and so we moved to our bed and took a 2 hour nap and I woke up in a better mood. As hubs said “I didn’t think a nap would have helped that much!... I mean… not that you were bad or anything…” nice save. I know I was a bear. I already feel terrible. The day ended with a PB&lite J (which jacked my number up anyway) and the movie Mirror Mirror. Please let this week be better.
