Friday Confessions
1) i havent done a single productive thing today
2) i brought a cookie to eat after lunch, but i'm contemplating eating it now
3) andrea and i havent had sex in 2 weeks (for no particular reason aside from being busy or tired) and i'm about to explode.
4) after i wrote the above confession, it occured to me that we actually did have sex last weekend. but it was quick and i was tipsy so i'm not counting it.
5) i'm not as nice as I should be to my FSIL.
your turn!

Re: Friday Confessions
i had a brownie and milk for breakfast
and a brownie when i got to work
i'm contemplating buying all new jeans a size up and just scrapping ever losing weight
i am also contemplating quitting my job.
1. I ate 6 doughnuts (sp) in the past two days.
2. I'm jealous of my SIL's pregnancy (while incredibly happy for them!!) and I think it shows.
3. I'm about to go eat another doughnut.
1) I'm still considering moving the work event date so I can go to the march on Washington...but then I'd be backing out of a friend's wedding. I can't believe these thoughts are even in my head
2) K's sister is coming to visit in August and as much as I say I'm happy, I'm not thrilled.
Did you know that its national doughnut day? you're simply celebrating!

1) DW has a mobile carwash business but it's barely bringing in enough money to cover groceries each month while I pay rent, the car payment, insurance and all of the bills on my own. I'm wondering how I'm supposed to feel like we will be financially secure enough for me to be a SAHM.
2) DW won't talk about when she thinks we will be ready for an IUI and when I bring it up, we are on completely different pages.
3) I am desperate for a new, higher paying job.
4) I wish I could push my readiness for a baby to the back of my head and buy a house first while the market is good.
Two Mommies Healing Hearts
1. I wasn't so secretly thrilled to hear that PBS dad is in jail again.
2. I dream about being pregnant all the time
3. I want warm chocolate chip cookies, straight from the oven, but want someone else to make them for me
4. I like my online friends better than my IRL friends and wish I lived closer to most of them.
2 weeks? I'd kill for 2 weeks.
I really want a Wii. We shouldn't spend the $$. I have been thinking about gettting one of E-bay and just waiting for it to show. I know I won't since we don't do that kind of thing to one another, but...
Our next door neighbors put their house on the market for $4000 more than we paid for ours 5 years ago. Two years ago it was worth $70,000 more than what we paid. I have no idea how we'll get a down payment for the new house we need for space and schools. It keeps me up at night.
I am calling after lunch to find out if the preschool we want will have spots for them. My tummy is in knots.
I wonder why I am the only one who can hear our children call out during the night.
I have barely begun my finals (which mean I have to write a paper a day now).
I still haven't joined the gym or worked out more than walking, but I keep complaining about how I feel about my body
I don't have any work (doula or otherwise) lined up for the summer and yet I'm still (mentally) planning vacations.
Sometimes I feel the same way. You better know my next trip to SoCal will include a gtg with you!
I've had the most intense urge lately to just pick up, move, and start all over again. Its completely ridiculous and the details are impossible, but it doesn't stop me from dreaming about it.
My dad and brother are doing a post-graduation almost cross country driving trip (to the Badlands and back). I am so ridiculously jealous. I would have loved to do something like that, but it just wasn't feasible when I graduated. I might ask Trav if he wants to do this for a vacation next year (depending on baby situation, of course).
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD

I am taking advantage of drinking a 12 oz. Red Bull during lunch since my DW is downtown at a conference and we cannot have lunch together. (And it is not sugar-free.)
I haven't let go of yesterday's issue regarding the use of the term "marriage."
I was grumpy this morning because I did not want to come to work...and took it out on Christine. (Who called me on the carpet about it, which "forced" me to behave *smile*)
I am one sip away from finishing my Red Bull.
I don't even want to list here the things I've eaten this week! It's CD2 and my food cravings have been nuts all week - and I have 100% given in to them. And in about 20 minutes, I'm going to eat pizza (left over from a meeting I organized) for lunch.
I know we're starting ttc in just a couple of months, and logically, that is totally cool with me. But I just want to start now now now.
On our PTown vacation, we're going to get to spend a day with C's parents, who will also be on the cape. I'm looking forward to seeing them more than I look forward to see my own parents these days. I just think they really get us, and we have a good time together and I really love them. Which is funny because when I first met them, I thought they were weird!
I'm going to try to get all our laundry done before our guests arrive tonight, but if I can't - I'm just going to hide some of it!

1. my wife is an alcoholic who stopped going to the AA meetings bc of all the "God" references
2. my wife was arrested for DUI last night
3. I'm tired of being the supporting wife that gets sh!t on, but I'm an arsehole if I don't "support her through this"
wow. that's heavy. sorry to lay that on you guys.
Skeezon- I am so very sorry. If you need anything at all, please let me know. Sending you huge hugs.
Two- I am so glad I am not the only one! One day the CA gtg will be a reality :-)
That is a lot going on right now. Take care of yourself.
crap. i am so, so sorry. #1 was my dad - unfortunately he never found a non-religious substitute so i dont have much advice. but i do know how sh!tty it is to be on the sidelines of such a thing. take care of yourself first, its the only way everything else will find its place. huge hugs to you.
and dont ever apologizing for laying stuff on us. life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. well, maybe rainbows

I'm sorry sweetie. That really sucks.

1. I'm ready to move out of Portland. Iowa is home and I'm soooo ready to be there. However, I know that I will miss Portland by ten folds when I move. Yet, I still crave a nice house, with a big yard, out in the country. I think part of it, is that Iowa is so much more affordable. I also crave living in a town where every one knows me.
2. I secretly hate my nanny job. I've never met such a terror of a 3year old. It's seriously birth control for me. And revalidates that I may never have kids, and be 100% okay with that.
3. Julie applied for a job back in Iowa, just for kicks. With no real hopes of getting it. However, if she did I'd be so happy, and I'd never have to work again.
4. We recently bought a Wii, and a Wii fit. $$ we really shouldn't of spent, and my muscles ache, just ache.
