Spring Break 2010 officially wrapped up today. What have I done on this spring break? I was covering for my manager the entire week and for one of the test managers for Thurs-Fri. Being 3 people at work is oh, so much fun and makes for extremely long hours. On top of this, Adam left on Thursday to go to Vegas for Tom's 40th birthday so I was 2 people at home.
Thursday night I literally wanted to shoot myself. I'm really not good at being alone. I've never lived by myself and have never spent a night by myself since I got married. I'm a very dependent person when it comes to feeling safe. When I'm alone I think every noise is an intruder who waited until Adam left to come murder me and/or kidnap Maison. I literally keep myself up all night just in case their is a crime unfolding right under my roof. So while I'm trying to talk myself into believing the noises I was hearing was really just the stupid cat, Maison woke up 5 times. Each time she quickly went right back to sleep but it was disturbing none the less....and the fabulous cat cried, scratched, meowed literally all night. I'm assuming because he missed Adam but between him and the baby I got about 30 min of sleep. Great when you are 3 people at work and 2 people at home.
Friday was an absolutely beautiful spring day. I couldn't wait to get home to take Maison out for a walk. Finally, a relaxing night...or not. We strolled, we bathed, we ate, we fussed, we tossed, we turned, and finally she went to sleep at 11:00pm and I went to kitchen to scrape up something for dinner which ended up being baked ruffles with half and avocado. Oh, the joys of single-parenting.
Saturday we had another record breaking snowfall of 6 inches. Seriously, what is up with the snow this year? I've lived here 28 years and have NEVER experienced snow on spring break. It just doesn't snow in Texas this late in the year. I really didn't want to spend another night by myself so I begged Shari to come stay with me which she did. Neither of us know how to drive in the snow so we decided to order dinner. We thought we would try Eat24hours.com and had them bring us sushi. It literally took 2 hrs to come. Shari answered the door and told the delivery guy "Hurry up! It's cold outside". I'm sure the guy appreciated that considering he has to deliver food to lazy people like us in the record breaking snow. Our fabulous (yes, that is sarcasm) $60 sushi dinner arrived in ONE takeout box...literally so small I could have eaten it all by myself. We waited 2 hrs and paid $60 for that? Considering there was absolutely nothing in my house to eat we melted chocolate chips and dipped bananas and graham crackers into it. How sad that our 'chocolate fondue' was more filling than our dinner?
Gone are the days when I could jet off to Daytona, Acapulco, or Cancun with 5-10 of my closest girl friends to frolic in the sun. Gone is the understatement of the world...
