Just one of "Those Days"

Thursdays are not my favorite for several reasons. I have a class from 8-4 pm and this is a class that is pretty much a waste of time. I am not challenged intellectually nor it is not helping me to become a better nurse in any way. My teacher is awesome and my group makes it much better, but overall, it is waste of 8 hours each week. Also Thursdays are "no husband days" because Troy has two classes; one at 9:30 am and one at 5 pm and he either studies in between them or goes to work and then goes to a church meeting afterwards and usually doesn't come home until 10 pm. 

This morning actually started off pretty well. I was in an unusually good mood at at 06:30 and even made banana pancakes for Troy. We decided to just take one car to campus so we joyfully shared the commute from the South Side to campus. I was able to keep busy during class time and enjoyed some social time with my friends. Around four, I was getting very tired and I was not looking forward to waiting for Troy to finish his class at 06:30 pm. I decided to see if I could check in for my flight tomorrow since I was planning on accompanying Troy on his work trip to Vegas. As I checked my itinerary, my heart skipped a beat and this Thursday definitely became one of those days that I should have just stayed in bed. 

I had booked a flight from Tucson to Las Vegas for Friday April 10th and planned my return for Sunday April 12th. Yes, one week too late! I am so detail-oriented when it comes to this kind of stuff and I just couldn't believe that I had booked a flight for a completely wrong weekend. Since I am very tired and emotionally more unbalanced than usual, this obviously resulted in some serious emotional distress as I thought of being stuck in Tucson while I should be enjoying few nights in a hotel and no cooking and most importantly, spending time with my husband. Of course buying tickets for the next day is more expensive, so now I am still flying to Vegas but it's costing us 100 bucks more. I feel some kind of business couple who has such a busy schedule that they plan on meeting at some random city to get some alone time. Obviously that is not us; we are more like a hormonal wife who has plenty of free time now and overworked hubby who just tries to take care of his wife. 

I should mention the few high lights of the day that made the day so much better. A wonderful chat with my friend Christina (while I was supposed to be productive), her kind offer to take me home so I wouldn't have to wait for Troy to get out of class and a delicious mozzarella, tomato and basil sandwich from Beyond Bread for dinner. 

This is a long post, so let me add few pictures for those who will want to skip my sad story:)

I was expecting to be more tired than usual today because I didn't go to bed until midnight due to a birthday celebration for our good friend Paul. Two years ago, we celebrated his birthday by doing a couple's fear factor and here is a picture of Troy and I after the cheeto throwing event. I think we won that one. 

Here is a belly picture at 28 weeks. This time I actually have a head; instead of doing just the belly portion of me. Yes, I am getting quite bubbly. I can't see my toes anymore and sleeping is much more difficult. However, when I wake up in the morning and he is kicking around, I sure feel so blessed.
