What to do, what to do?

So there is this problem. I guess it's not something unique to myself. But I really don't know what makes me happy. By myself. I know what hubs can do to make me happier. And the things I would like to have that would I would be happy about having. Well of course this puts a strain on my relationship. And not talking to my husband makes things all the worse on my end. You know how we women are. Well anyway so the other day I called my best friend and cried and vented to her. She offered to let me stay with her and her fiance for a week or so to give me some time away from everything stressful to think things through. I talked to my husband. And we agreed that taking her up on that offer may be a good idea. So tomorrow I'll be calling her and we'll be working out the logistics hopefully.

Athena, Hubby and everything else.

Well we have now had Athena for close to a month. In the short time that we have had her, I've taught her a few commands. Sit, jump, no, stop, shake, and go. Now the absolutely most important thing she has to be taught...potty training..she hasn't caught onto yet. Although I have to admit I havent been very adamant about taking her out. Some things she's learned on her own: how to carry things around, how fun it is to play with things that aren't toys, chewing, and climbing onto the couch. Now, she is very friendly and tries to play with our two yr old teacup chihuahua, Molly, but Molly with have none of that. She has decided she doesn't like Athena at all. But our one yr. old cat, Jester, loves to play with the puppy. Now he has someone to dig into the trash with. LOL. : / Today we put Athena out in our dog pen for the first time. We left her out there for about an hour or two. Gonna get her used to it before we leave her out there all day or any time at night or when we are gone. She did pretty well. She did try to dig out once but gave up before she got through. She howled and whined, but eventually she was quiet and entertained herself I assume.

Today I had to take hubby to the ER. yesterday he was trimming some tree at work and the branch he was working on twisted and hit him in the side of the head. He didnt tell me anything until about 1 am this morning when he was going to bed. He told me that he was knocked unconcious breifly but had no other signs of anything wrong until about 8 pm. He said his vision started getting blurry and then he started feeling dizzy later on. So he thought that he could just sleep it off, but this morning when he was getting ready for work, he fell because he was so dizzy. So I had to call his mother and ask to borrow her car so that I could drive him to the ER. we got in a room about 11 am. at about 12 pm they took him to get a CAT scan. At about 4 pm they finally got back to us with the results. Basically, he has a minor head injury (concussion most likely) it's nothing too serious but i'm to keep an eye on his behavior. should take only 2-3 days for him to recover.

Well last week I got a call from David's Bridal saying my dress has arrived. So last Saturday we went and picked it up. When I got home and put it on (of course). the style and the length and the color and my blonde hair all combined made me think of Alice from Alice in Wonderland. NOT A NEGATIVE THING. lol. The dress looks soooo good. I can't wait to wear it in April!!

Last friday the group I'm supposed to be dieting with met for the first time. We talked about the foods we could eat, the foods we couldnt eat, the portions we should be eating, how much water to drink a day and tons of other things. We also weighed in and took measurements. I'm not going to post any of those details on here because, frankly, it's quite embarassing. But anywho, I have NOT been doing very well. It's just so hard. Because it not only affects me but also my husband, who doesnt need to diet nor does he want to. and he doesnt really want to make an changes to help me out either. he still wants to go out for pizza and mexican food. it's killing me. another thing i'm not doing like i'm supposed to is writing down what I eat. It's just too tedious for me. counting calories, sodium, carbs, fats. I just dont feel like it. I'm sure I'm going to be scolded this Friday when I go to weigh in. So maybe I'll do better next weekend. ugh.
