Last semester Tuesdays were my longest day, this semester it’s Mondays. Mondays go on forever.
I got up at 5 yesterday (as well as today) so I could workout before my day got crazy. The morning workout wasn’t so bad, it was everything else that sucked the fun out of the day.
Taking a course immediately after work on a Monday wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. Especially a math class, it’s kind of an awful way to start the week. Yesterday morning I left the house at 7:15 am, and I got home at 7:35 pm. That’s twelve straight hours of being dressed, with my feet in heels.
They’re not uncomfortable, but if I’m going to be wearing something for that long, I’d like it to be yoga pants and running shoes.
When I got home all I wanted to do was put on my PJ’s and have dinner. Fortunately I was on the ball this weekend and have a week’s worth of dinners prepared and ready to go. Less than five minutes after I walked through the door I had dinner in the microwave, my work clothes off, and my pajamas on.
Since I decided I had already done enough work, I skipped washing my dishes and instead I sat on the couch with Lexie and watched Mad Men. Apparently she had a long day too, because she couldn’t even find the energy to make it all the way to my lap.
I guess its exhausting being cute all day long. I really don’t know how she does it.
We spent approximately an hour laying around and doing nothing, and then it was time to take her out to pee, get lunch and breakfast ready for today, and then go to bed. Oh, and I may have washed those dishes after all. It was either do them last night, or stay up late tonight and do them. That’s the problem with being an adult, the list of things to do never really ends.
Welcome! I'd love to hear from you: leah *at* whydeprive *dot* com
I know Lexie was so happy to have her Mommy home!!
I totally don’t miss the crazy student schedule. Not one bit. I worked practically full time through my 2nd degree and like you, I ended up with math classes in the evenings sometimes as late as 11pm. no fun.
That does sound like a crazy day. I hated my long days in school because I always had to work and my friends didn’t and it pissed me off that they were already drinking and I was still in class. But your boots are awesome! I want them.
That is a long ass day, girl. At least you looked good while you were slaving away! Love the boots.
Regardless, they’re hot shoes!! Like Jess said, at least you worked it in those 12 hrs
I feel ya on the long days…but hopefully you’re at least doing something you love!
That’s what I always have to tell myself to keep pushing on.. 
Um, those shoes are adorable, but there’s no way I could wear them for a super long day. I’m used to long Mondays, too…and Wednesdays. At least 14 hours. No bueno.
It’ll be worth it, Leah!
I don’t think it is really that hard for Lexie to be cute. She’s a natural. You are always so amazing Leah…i can’t believe you make dinners for the week ahead. You are such a rockstar. I couldn’t have worn those shoes for that long. Asking me to do it for 8 hours is plenty. Why on earth don’t you change into yoga pants and tennis shoes before school in the bathroom at work? I guess you want to look cute still. You’re young. At 41, I’ve put comfy ahead of cute…well not always, but more times than I should.
haha normally I do change in the bathroom at work. This week I forgot to bring a change of clothes. I couldn’t care less if I look cute or not.
