Away on business for Valentines Day

My company sends people to follow up training 6 months after initial training so I'm away from DH today. I go home tomorrow, but it stinks to be away tonight. The rest of my training class went out to dinner, but b/c I had to take my Lovenox shot, I was unable to make the bus for 6PM, so the trainers told me I can't use my own car - get this - b/c ALCOHOL is being served it's a liability issue. I thought they were kidding... with my big baby gut hanging out and all.

So I had to find my own supper tonight... the hotel I'm at stinks for preggos... my choices are a seafood place that calls itself italian, but everything on the menu is seafood or a bar where everything is fried. I got sick of cheeseburgers early on (God help my cholesterol) so last night I ended up getting stuck eating nothing but french fries for dinner - I was crying and literally apologizing to the baby in my belly for eating this way, but the hotel is totally unaccomodating and the part of NJ I'm in I can't deal with driving around in - every time we've left we get lost and I didn't want to be lost by myself. Tonight they finally had Pasta e fagioli (sp?) - however there was prociutto in it! I picked the stuff out and ate the rest... I had to eat something and wasn't resorting to french fries again. I can't wait to go home!

All this only to find out the company is realigning and I may be selling something else in the coming weeks... which means I get sent back for more training at some point... doubt I can go before the baby is born though... I'm heading right into my last trimester of a somewhat high risk pregnancy. Bottom line is that - training may not be over! I could end up having to come back after I get back from maternity leave - but it's better than a lay off. I have no idea how women do this corp stuff and have kids... this is going to be interesting...

Thanks for letting me vent!
