Tired and a little bit bleugh!!
Posted 14-Jul-2008 at 10:47 by upsy daisy
Sorry for the boring reading but I really find it helps me to get things off my chest - kind of therapeutic to write things down!!
Feeling so tired today, managed to get a decent night's sleep (for a change) but I feel really washed out. My eldest is at nursery today so as soon I can put the youngest monster for a nap after lunch I am going to do some maths revision in preparation for my numeracy and literacy tests I've got to do for the access course on Thurs...arrrrgh, maths is so not my best point. Been revising on the GCSE bitesize website which is fab but sadly only getting around 50% in the mock tests so I need to up my game LOL...they said not to worry about the tests but I just want to be as prepared as possible.
Having a major "mid life" crisis at the moment, my hair desperately needs a cut (which I can't afford at the moment), am so tempted to have a complete change of style but I know hubby will hate it (he loves my long hair, hated it when I had it short), arrrgh, am just feeling so old, frumpy and frazzled at the moment.
Need a kick up the backside at the moment!!!
Work is still great, mostly I love it although there seems to be 1 particular person that just doesn't seem to like me - I don't know why
as far as I'm aware I haven't done anything to upset her but she just seems really unfriendly towards me.....yeah I know we can't "win 'em all" as they say but I really don't like being disliked. I can't work out whether she is just unfriendly because she doesn't like me personally, or whether she just doesn't associate with "us plebs" LOL or maybe she is just that type of person anyway?!! My DH is fortunate to be incredibly thick skinned and very much of the mentality "if you like me great, if you don't then that doesn't matter either" - why oh why can't I be a bit more like that?! I know I'm going to have to grow a slightly thicker skin to do midwifery anyway!! I am working on it - honestly.
Arrrrgh I have rambled a little too much here - my apologies!!
Things can only get better!!!

Ramble away - it's good to read, and especially because I'm sat here nodding my head in agreement!
I inherited my Mum's need to please everyone - so if someone is rude or indifferent to me, I blow it out of all proportion.
I do have a sneaky tactic for anyone like that... I ensure I am so kind, so courteous, and so helpful that they either have to relent and like me, or are really, REALLY rude to me and I then have confirmation that they are a complete
. It does wonders for your ego either way, honest!!!
And is there no middle ground with your hair? A mid-length style that means it's still long-ish, but much more manageable and funky for you? xxxPosted 14-Jul-2008 at 14:47 by Bunny

Thanks hun, yes you sound exactly like me!! I also try the ultra nice/ultra courteous approach too !! Just gets me down sometimes
I am definitely needing to do something with my hair - may just take a few inches off the length and get the layers re-shaped back in. Might treat myself next month as it's my Mum's 60th and our wedding anniversary within a few days of each other so we'll have a couple of nights out to look forward to!!

Upsy you always apologise and we all love reading your blogs!
I am like that, it really bothers me when people don't like me, even if I don't really like that person and know they are like it with everyone. It drives my husband mad! I always find I make far more effort to be nice to people like that than those who like me and are nice to me in the first place. I wonder sometimes if I should not bother wasting my energy trying to please the unpleasable (is that even a word?) and plough it all into the nice people in my life who deserve it?Posted 15-Jul-2008 at 08:15 by RainbowGoddess
