Re: Friday Confessions...
I haven't done my thank you notes, thinking about doing them makes me cringe..... I'll probably be doing them next weekend since I'm off, blah
A girl here at work got her jaw broke and so she had to get her mouth wired shut for 2 months, therefore amazing weightloss...this may sound reallly weird, but it makes me want to get mine wired shut so I can lose weight, I couldn't do the whole broken jaw part.... sorry i'm crazy and tired
It's been over a week since any sexy fun time, sorry for TMI, maybe that's why I'm crazy now
I ate very poorly yesterday and spent the day on the couch. ugh
I am really not looking forward to Mother's Day this year. Usually I try to spend the day with friends, or alone, but I can't do that this year. Not like I can run away from it anyway, with all the advertising on TV, radio and in the stores. It's everywhere. I just feel like I'm bombarded with daily reminders that I don't have a mom. ?Yes I have people I consider as mom-like, my stepmom (who I will always refer to as that even tho her and my dad are no longer together) and my friend/mentor in NYC who I think of as another mother type. But its not the same. And this year it seems to be bothering me more, and we are going to be spending the day with MIL.?
*sigh*
?
This constant rainy weather we are having BLOWS!!!! I need to see the sun and get out to walk.
Our house is a disaster. DH and I have let way too much clutter build and am just tired and have no energy to deal with it by myself (since DH is at work ALL the time). I know it needs to get done before we leave and, I'll suck it up and do it on Sunday but...blah.
I am truly tired of work right now and do not want to be here. Yes, just one week to go but, even that seems endless right now.
One of my close friends just found out she is pg and she has made the choice to terminate. I'm pro-choice and I beleive it's her right to make this call but, I'm just so PO'ed at her since she caused this by not using any protection. Not using protection = TTC and I've tried to explain that to her over and over (she thought she was infertile since she had to have IVF to have her kids years ago). I just wish she would grow up already and gain some sense of responsibility (she's 42!).

jen&louie- I have been in a similar situation like you, and it makes me so angry because when you play with fire you get burned....so unless your ready to grow up and be a mother you need to take precautions or be ready! I see she is older so its a little different I suppose, but still not right in my book.
so my confessions....hmmm I want to go crawl in bed put the covers over my head and scream...i have a migraine...
and...I have no AC cause it broke and we dont have the money to fix it right now so a patient just tells me its supposed to be near 90 tomorrow...not real happy about that one.
I can't wait for my honeymoon. I'm so ready. It's still five weeks away, but I am ready now. Work has been slow and I need a break.
DH hasn't decided what to do for his mom for mother's day. Originally he was going to get her a gift card, but now he thinks maybe breakfast is a good idea. I told him I was fine with whatever he chooses, but I don't enjoy spending time with her. She is a mean person.
DH and I will officially be TTC Sunday, and I'm just a bit nervous and excited at the same time. Because of this DH has been doing a lot of thinking lately. He thinks he is going to quit his job at Macy's, detox off all his meds (the military's solution for when someone has a problem--pill them up and don't let them ever stop taking them. Ever. They like to ignore problems and think it's better for everyone to walk around like a zombie), and find a job doing security while he goes back to school full time (the reason we are not waiting to have a baby is because it will take him about 8 years to get thorught school--BS then Pharm-d).
I know I've said this before, but I have the VA. There are a bunch of idiots that work there. DH was blown up several times when he was in Iraq resulting in TBI (traumatic brain injury). To this day he still suffers. Even though his DR put the orders for him to go to the TBI unit for eval, testing and treatment, nothing was ever done. It took a nerve conduction study (which shows he has nerve damage, btw) for a tech to get the ball rolling. Apparently the tech who was doing is nerve conduction study didn't like some of the answers he was giving during routine questions and rushed him across the hall to have some basic TBI testing. The result, he is finally getting the treatment he needs. UGH! At least there are a few good people out there.
So we are officially no longer looking for a home. The kinds of houses we want, we can't afford and the houses we can afford are ones we don't want. Its frustrating because its only been a week - so many highs and lows for only 7 days! Also, Kevin won't be making more money anytime soon (their union contract is until 2011) and since I'm sticking it at out Wegmans, trying to put myself in a position to get into management, I can't really figure out a way to up our income in the not so distant future. Which just spirals out into we'll never have a home, I'll never get my puppy, we'll never have babies....GAH!?
I'm beginning to experience severe sexual frustration, TMI will begin here...Due to my low-lying placenta DH and I have to abstain for at least a month. (5/20 - when we find out if it must continue) This is truly beginning to effect my mood & attitude. Now I'm so far from sex-crazed but with all the hormone changes and such I think that this lack is really causing crazy mood changes. And I'm beginning to be frustrated w/ DH because it seems like if we cant go all the way, no sense showing any affection. Even just some soft kisses would help at this point instead I average 3 pecks/day. GRRR!!
We too have put off house buying since we live nearly rent free in an apt above my parents. Perfect situation (IMO) w/ new baby coming but DH would move out tomorrow if he could. First we dont have enough for a down payment yet, and we dont know how expensive a baby will be so why jump into a mortgage, when I dont yet have probationary status in the district I work for - so they dont have to take me back in the fall. Smart decision to hold off? I think so!
