Confessions-I’m Not Going To Lie I’m Having a Week

April 2, 2014
This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them help support this website.
Happy Humpday.  I love when I can get my act together and link up with Kathy.  She cracks me up on a daily basis.

I confess.  This week has been rough.  Usually I’m really good with multitasking 8 things at once.

(via tumblr)

However this week was just a tad overwhelming.  I’m not one to complain but dang this one has been trying.  I’m trying to keep up with life without having this happen.

(via tumblr)

I confess I was eating a very old bag of Peppermint M&M’s that I recently discovered from the holidays and then decided to throw them away because they tasted awful.  As I threw them away Mark chimed in “why are you throwing them away?”.  I responded with “they were old”.  He started cracking up and goes “you decided that after like 50 deep of them?”

(via tumblr)
I had one of those days on Monday where it was like way too many things all at once which resorted in a frustrated cry fest.  One of those ugly girl cries.

(via tumblr)
My Accountant (who yah know isn’t cheap by the hour) was wanting the last pay stub from my faculty teaching at USF to help me finish my taxes that I had initially attempted and then failed on my own.  I tried to get that information for him by logging onto this genius system that the University has called GEMS (not like the cool 80’s girl cartoon that transformed from a business woman by day into a pink hair rocker by night).
I wasted an HOUR of my life on the phone with the IT guy.  An hour I needed to be grading papers, responding to emails or catching up on blog posts.  No.  It was spent wasted while he “troubleshooted” why the pay stub was not loading.  After he told me there was “nothing else he could do”.  I hung up with him and did this.  Which I should have done in the first place.
After I figured that out and then wouldn’t you know.  The pay stub loaded with no problem.  I literally felt like doing this.
(via tumblr)
Mark made the mistake of calling me during this time and asking if he should get the Blue Ray version of Frozen for my sisters kids or just the regular one.  It wasn’t the best timing.
(via tumblr)
He came back from Target with these.
I think he was scared of me.  You are correct those are birthday cake M&M’s.  I’ll let you know!
 
I confess I really want to be adopted into the Chrisley family.  Mainly I want to be able to wear my hair like this on a daily basis and be entertained 24/7 by Todd’s witty banter.
I confess I ran out of my Starbucks kcups this morning.
(via tumblr)
I confess my Macbook just autocorrected kcups 17 times in a row from kcups to cups.  I WANT THE K LEFT……LEAVE THE K IN PLEASE!!!  See I told you I am having a week.  I’ll provide my address for anyone who wants to ship me kcups so I won’t destroy the first person who accidentally looks at me the wrong way.  Thanks love y’all bye.
p.s. Finally days for the giveaway!  xoxoxoxo

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! the “unclick this box” OMFG that made me laugh. although i’m in IT, sometimes tech support is not that great. we call our “help desk” the “unhelp desk”. i hate that i have to go through them to get shit done because it’s a company-imaged/owned machine. the last time i hacked my way through shit, they got mad and i got my hands slapped. prudes.

    i hope you have a better week next week and thanks for linking up :)

    That’s it, I’m on my way over to your house RIGHT NOW to raid that stash of amazing candy. Yep, happening. I also literally cannot stop laughing at the panda GIF. I just can’t. It might be my most favorite GIF ever right now. Lol.

  3. BLovedBoston says

    April 2, 2014 at 11:45 AM

    Oh girl – sorry you’re having such a week – but I think you picked a winner with Mark – KNOWING to bring you candy when you’re in a mood!! WINNER! Sometimes IT people are not really smarter than us…my favorite is if you’ve restarted your computer – yes I have and guess what that’s why I’m calling…you’re my final option!! Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!!

  4. Stacy G says

    April 2, 2014 at 12:03 PM

    Ha, Sorry about your week so far, it will get better! How sweet is Mark?! Please let me know how the birthday cake M&Ms are haha.

  5. Pamela Runsick says

    April 2, 2014 at 12:22 PM

    Oh no!! If it makes you feel any better, I had one of those weeks last week. The are the WORST! I hope your week gets better, at least it’s all downhill now, right? I love that Mark brought you home all the amazing candy. He’s definitely a keeper! You’re going to have to let me know how those birthday cake M&M’s are. I’m seriously intrigued! Oh and I’ve totally spent hours trying to figure something out when it was as simple as clicking the “Allow pop ups” button. Stupid button…

    Haha! I hate when the simplest little things kick our ass like that nasty unclick button, but it sounds like Mark had the right idea! :D

  7. Nadine Lynn says

    April 2, 2014 at 12:28 PM

    I am so sorry that you are having a week! It happens to the best of us.

    Look at the bright side, you have a smart man that brought you lots and lots of candy at the right time! That is hard to find!

  8. Elena Ridley says

    April 2, 2014 at 12:30 PM

    Dying over here!! Love the comment about eating half the bag of stale m&ms before throwing them away… We’ve all been guilty of that!! Happy hump day!

  9. P!nky says

    April 2, 2014 at 12:31 PM

    Ugggggggggh weeks like t hat are just plain the WORST! BARF! I’m sorry lady. I’ve had plenty of those, especially with the ugly cry phone call to mom.

    Well done to Mark for bringing you candy, that just makes it better right?!?!!?

    I know it wasn’t the point of your post but I LOVE GEM!

  10. birdie to be says

    April 2, 2014 at 12:48 PM

    Hahah… love your peppermint M&M story! You and me both with our sweet tooths! Love what your boy brought back from Target. Everything looks uh-mazing!

  11. Amy @The Crazy Wise Woman says

    April 2, 2014 at 12:52 PM

    Sometimes it’s good to get the ugly cry out of the way, holding on to it is the worst! And what a nice guy you have there to bring you chocolate. Keep him!!!

  12. Savanna says

    April 2, 2014 at 12:56 PM

    Well the fact that he brought back all that candy is great! Do let me know about those birthday cake ones! I hope your week gets better!! Being on the phone with IT sucks! I feel like I have to a lot because the system we use at work is always messing up!!

    I just love Gifs!

  13. JumpingJE says

    April 2, 2014 at 1:01 PM

    You poor thing. Here’s me wishing you an end of the week that’s a million times better. Mark is a saint for the chocolate run – and I need to find those M&M’s, I’m racing someone for who can find them first. BUT I’m AFRAID TO GO INTO TARGET because it’s a black hole of spending for me. eek! #firstworldproblems

  14. Kim @ Kimberleys Quests says

    April 2, 2014 at 1:03 PM

    I think we’ve all been there! I’m a fan of sitting in the dark on the bathroom floor (against the door so no one can get it) and crying hyterically so the manfriend can hear me, but can’t really help me. But when I emerge I often get things like those delicious looking M&M’s. Sometimes a few good cries get you through the week. Hopefully Wednesday is much nicer to you!

  15. Eva Marie Taylor says

    April 2, 2014 at 1:05 PM

    I would fake having a bad day just to get all the candy! I hope the candy makes you feel better even without the kcups! Such a travesty to be out of coffee. I turn into captain Insano without my coffee (like last week!)

  16. The Pink Growl says

    April 2, 2014 at 1:17 PM

    It’s been a little bit of a week for me too! I’m sorry! Hope all that candy makes it better! :)

  17. Kelli @She Crab Soup says

    April 2, 2014 at 1:40 PM

    At least you have someone that knows you’re having a bad week and brings you all the candy!!! I hope the end of your week is better!

  18. Courtney W. says

    April 2, 2014 at 1:44 PM

    It has definitely been one of those weeks, I feel you! Left my coffee sitting at home on the counter this morning. Hopefully it will only go up from here, right?

  19. Ashley says

    April 2, 2014 at 1:45 PM

    I’m having a week too – ugh – at least it’s almost half over?? I need to get those birthday cake m&ms!!! hope your week gets better!

  20. MakeMeUpMia says

    April 2, 2014 at 1:55 PM

    Oh girl, this was so me last week. UGH my iPhone and mac book make me scream sometimes. “NO, not we’ll, I want WELL dang it!!!!” <— almost a daily occurrence. Hang in there, eat every bit of that candy. It’ll make things better. Then just work it off later ;) And seriously, you read my mind on the birthday cake M&M’s. You’ve got to let us know! What a smart man you have!

  21. Shannon Jenkins says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:01 PM

    Did I just read that correctly?! Birthday cake M&Ms?!?! I need to get those stat!! And what a great man bringing you chocolate!! Omg I hate autocorrect!! It’s like if I rewrote it the wrong way 8 times, I want it the wrong way damnit!!! Ugh and I have been having the worst time with my taxes too! I should prob get on that again….

    April 2, 2014 at 2:02 PM

    I confess that I kind of want to steal Mark from you after seeing all the candy he brought back. The way to my heart is through my stomach.

  23. Jessica @ Wonder Whats Next says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:04 PM

    We all have weeks like this! The good thing about humpday is that we’re on the downhill slide. :)

  24. Gina says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:15 PM

    Gahahaha! hysterical. I’m sorry, it isn’t funny that you are having an overwhelming week, but your reactions to it all are so similar to mine that I get to laugh. Well, all but the candy. I shop instead.

    What do you teach at the university?

    Hope it all calms down soon. breathe deeply and drink wine:)
    XO, Gina

    America has the best candy. It’s not fair.

  26. Tracy J/yeaiknowimshort says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:19 PM

    Nice Mark!!! I wish my husband would remember to pick up bananas when hes at the store and your man got you candy! LOL

  27. Erin says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:23 PM

    Ahh girl, hope your week gets better! But I love your honey came home with bags and bags of candy, haha!

  28. Kate @ Another Clean Slate says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:25 PM

    Mark definitely was trying to either make you happy or have your mouth full so you wouldn’t complain to him. It’s always a toss up in my apartment!

  29. Mandy @ Mandy's Money says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:26 PM

    That candy looks so good & I can completely agree with the GIF of Anna Sophia Robb freaking out. Yesterday was the busiest day of the month for me at work and while I’m rushing to get things done my dad is texting me non-stop about what my mortgage would be if I buy a certain house

  30. Carly says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:39 PM

    It’s always the saddest day when I’m out of k-cups… you think I’d learn to pay attention to when they were running low, but NOPE always wait until they’re out! haha I love all those gifs and love even more that Mark brought you back all that candy! Hope the rest of the week picks up :)

  31. Mree says

    April 2, 2014 at 2:59 PM

    Birthday cake M&M’s!! I have never seen them!! How are they? I also didn’t know they made white chocolate M&M’s, gotta get some of them!
    Happy Hump Day!!

    Best, Mree

  32. Miche says

    April 2, 2014 at 3:31 PM

    Oh man, bday cake m&ms, also, I love that he brought that stuff home from Target – so perfect! I hate weeks like this (and ugly girl cries..I’ve had SO many of those this past year lol)

    Your man is SMART. Sorry you’re having a week, at least it’s almost over!

  35. Stephanie says

    April 2, 2014 at 4:21 PM

    I’m sorry you’re having that kind of week but I cannot stop laughing not only at all the chocolate he bought you (smart) but also at the fact that he called you out on eating a ton of M&Ms before tossing them. Hilarious.

  36. Shelby {Recent Somethings} says

    April 2, 2014 at 4:41 PM

    Holy shiz the b-day cake M&Ms are on my list of find-and-destroy! That cell phone gift w/ calling a mom made me laugh, and then almost cry hah. I want to pull a Panda move about every day this week so far. Hang in there!

  37. sara {rhapsody and chaos} says

    April 2, 2014 at 4:43 PM

    HUGGGGGGG. And Mark = amazing with that gift of SO MUCH CANDY.

    Lol! Love the Steve Spurrier ‘launching his head phones’ .gif! Classic. That’s how I feel on a daily basis especially because I have a deadline on Friday. Good luck with everything.

      Yeah I’m so glad you noticed that Spurrier gif. I literally felt that way. The ole ball coach and I ;-)

    April 2, 2014 at 6:03 PM

    That’s a winner of a husband if I ever saw one! And my macbook does the same thing to gchat – it’s like NOOOOO, I want the damn g. I wasn’t chatting, I was gchatting. People I chat with could be anyone, people I gchat with are best friends for life…

    Hope your week is getting better!

    April 2, 2014 at 6:07 PM

    ACK! I hate those sorts of days…but i’m sure that chocolate went a long way to cheering you up!

    April 2, 2014 at 6:15 PM

    AMANDA!!! This cracked me up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG! I know I’m probably being a tab drama’d out right now but after the day I’ve been having this is amazing. Thanks so much for this. You’re my new friend. lol Have a great rest of your week!

  48. Courtney Wilson says

    April 2, 2014 at 6:41 PM

    It is funny because your blah tone comes out here. I have the blah disease this week too. I think it is all this nice weather and not being able to enjoy it.

  49. Elise @ High Heels and Glittering Eyes says

    April 2, 2014 at 6:46 PM

    Giiiiirl I feel ya! And those birthday cake m&ms are the bomb.com! Enjoy lady!

  50. SMD @ lifeaccordingtosteph says

    April 2, 2014 at 6:56 PM

    That IT thing would have sent me into a TOWERING rage.

    Report back on the M&Ms ASAP!

  51. Blogger Ash says

    April 2, 2014 at 7:06 PM

    Sounds like a tought week. Good thing is it can only get better! Everyone needs a ugly girl cry every once in a while. Mine comes out when I’m overly stressed. Sometime you just can’t take it anymore. Cake batter MnMs?! Can’t wait to hear how they are! Have a GREAT rest of the week (and weekend)!

    Huugggsssss!!! I was so having one of those weeks last week. I hope things get better, but I think they most definitely will with all of that amazing candy!!! birthday cake M&Ms?! I need them in my life!!! Every single one of these GIFs are making me laugh myself to tears. So perfect.

  53. Kerry @ Till Then Smile Often says

    April 2, 2014 at 8:12 PM

    Now I am afraid of you. Just kidding! Sucks that you are having a bad week but look you got tons of chocolate out of the deal! Smart husband to be!

  54. Kiki says

    April 2, 2014 at 8:14 PM

  55. Gina's Agenda says

    April 2, 2014 at 9:25 PM

    Oh my gosh. Why does Zack bring me flowers and not candy when I’m having a bad day/week! Can I send him to you for training? I want reeses eggs!

  58. Darcy says

    April 3, 2014 at 1:31 AM

    Good man right there for coming back with candy for you! I hope your week gets better.. we are almost to the weekend!

    April 3, 2014 at 2:20 AM

    Hahah you poor thing, you are having A WEEK! Luckily your man brought you birthday cake m&ms — but wait, BIRTHDAY CAKE M&MS?!!??!? I must know how they taste!!! Wellpp, gotta go…off to Target to pick some up. ;)

  60. Christina says

    April 3, 2014 at 4:52 AM

    HA, look at all that candy!!! I can’t wait to hear about the bday m&ms. I’ve been waiting for those suckers!! Meanwhile I’ve been eating FLUFF out of the jar. New England throw back!!! haha

  61. Becca says

    April 3, 2014 at 10:14 AM

    Definitely going to be needing a full report on birthday cake m&ms. Are they chocolate? Somewhere along the way, we seem to have stumbled upon the idea that birthday cake is always yellow cake, but in my house it was (and is) ALWAYS chocolate cake. Yum! I do love birthday cake ice cream though…

  62. Shenine joon says

    April 3, 2014 at 9:24 PM

    I’ve been having the same week. Can I just repost your post please, god I love all those gifs :)

  63. Kenzie Smith says

    April 4, 2014 at 4:01 PM

    Yikes, sounds like you really have been having quite the week. John’s been known to bring home mass amounts of chocolate when I’m in a mood. I couldn’t help but laugh at that part :) Hope all has gotten better!

  64. Emily says

    April 11, 2014 at 11:23 AM

    Been there, lady. Hugs! I hope you’re feeling better!
