The One Where I Host a Pity Party

There are lots of things that I planned on doing blog drafts of today, but I've been in pity party mode.

Due to some personal issues, my boyfriend will be moving soon. There was a bomb dropped yesterday morning, and I knew the inevitable "I'm going to be moving" chat would be coming soon. It was brought up last night, and I spent a solid portion of the night crying myself to sleep.

I know some of you out there will say "long distance relationships can work!" and I used to be the one to say those things too. The problem is that being a single mom with a career that has you working a crazy schedule makes long distance relationships difficult.

I used to be the non-sports person in a long distance relationship and it was rough for both of us. When you make the effort to go visit the sports person for a weekend and they have to work every day, it can get frustrating. I know that it's not fair to either one of us to keep the relationship as it is if he's moving.

So today, I had a pity party.

I've told myself that when things get bad, I get one day to feel sorry for myself and then I have to get over it. That doesn't mean I won't have moments of sadness, it just means I get one day to have a pity party in style.

I've spent my day eating way too much pizza, too many Oreos, drinking too much Coke, and watching cheesy movies on Netflix. My movie selections of the day:

(1) Backwards (Staring Dawson from Dawson's Creek ... hottie!)
When a fiercely competitive rower fails to make the Olympics, she takes a coaching job at a school but struggles to adjust to life off the course. 

(2) Christmas Bounty (Staring The Miz from MTV...so it's quality!)
A former bounty hunter turned elementary school teacher is determined keep her past and her wild family business a secret from her fiancé. 

(3) Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger (Staring David Tennant and ...DAVID TENNANT!)
An anxious teacher at an underperforming school sets out on a road trip with some students to enter the kids in a Christmas song competition.

(4) Christmas Crush (Staring ... people ...)
Twentysomething Georgia pines for her old boyfriend and is thrilled to have a second chance at love when she attends their high school reunion

(5) Scents and Sensibility (You know I'm in depression mode if I'm watching something with this title)
Forced out of a life of privilege when their dad goes to jail, two sisters take on menial work until they come up with a sweet-smelling business idea.

I haven't just been binge-movie watching and binge-eating. I DID get a flu shot and a workout in today. Now I'm trying to decide what movie I'll end the night on. I better make it good, because tomorrow, the pity party is over.
