Waste
I feel like all of my best laid plans are a total waste these days. I suppose it is enhanced by today's work experience.
I put our queen-size guest bed up on freecycle last week in an effort to get it out of our house. It was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thatpatti's bed way back (thanks, Patti!) and it has served us well... we just need to ditch the guest room. So anyway, I had a taker that swore they were coming to pick up the bed yesterday at 1:00. And of course, they didn't come. At all. All day. Didn't call, e-mail, anything. Nada. So I sat around for nothing. And the bed's not gone. And I can't do the big furniture move until it's gone. Bleh.
Today was my first day of the "doing intakes in the office" thing at work. I had four offered intake times and all four were filled. Score! First my 9:00 cancelled, then my 10:00. At 11:10, I called my 11:00 and she had forgotten and was at the grocery store. Then my 1:00 cancelled. Are you effing kidding me? I left work around 11:20 and drove home to eat lunch. Today's paycheck - $0. Today's potential paycheck - $175. OUCH.
It just feels like I'm sitting here spinning my wheels in the mud. I have this intense urge to nest and plan, but can't get rid of the bed, can't move the guest room furniture to the basement (we need someone to help and I don't have anyone), so can't move the baby furniture out of Punk's room, so can't assemble Punk's furniture, can't get the baby clothes out of boxes and put them in drawers, can't steam clean the rug, etc. etc. Get up and get ready to go to work, prepare for work, pack lunch for work, and then... do no work. It's such a waste.
I am so freaking frustrated. And broke.

Poo indeed.

I was so stressed and it was terrible so let me say this...
You are pregnant! you are not allowed to stress any more than the usual heartburn and stuff =)
Can you figure a way to stay home? It may just be the less stress route although at first I think the planning stressed me more. We cut out cable, fancy foods, eating out...we made every sacrafice we could. My short term disability was next to nothing and my spouse did not work but a mere 5 hours a week. It was crazy but doable.
Hugs and let us all know if we can help!
