FFFC anyone?
I know we already did UO, but anyone have any FFFC?
TTC since April 2009 ~ Unexplained IF
3 IUI's later....EDD 6.28.12
Re: FFFC anyone?
I'm so freaking stressed about getting our house ready to list it (maybe in 2 weeks!) that I am taking all that stress out on DH. Everything he suggests, I just snap at him for!
The heart of it is our kitchen counters. We should really upgrade them. I'm open to going to Home Depot and getting them to do it if they can have them installed within 2 weeks. I don't have time to shop around and drive all over timbuktu to get different quotes, take time off from work to meet people to do measurements, then wait for a new quote, then order stuff, etc.
In the meanwhile, DH thinks we should just tile it over, except (a) it's not a standard size and (b) we've never used a tile cutter and (c) we have no place to put one and (d) we don't have a lot of free time to do it and (e) we'd clearly get a divorce at the end of it. I just give him evil glances about it, including one in front of the real estate agent last night.
So, it's just driving me nuts, and I don't want to miss the APril season of home buying, since it's the hottest month her in Boston for that stuff....
Ugh.
I'm annoyed with Andrew about last night. He agreed to dinner out with his parents and brother on a week night. We just talked about it two nights prior and I said week nights are just not good for us, if they want to have dinner it needs to be on a weekend. Xander didn't nap on the way home yesterday and he was tired and hungry when I got him home. I gave him a snack and then we had to go to the resturant to meet the ILs. Xander was misserable the entire time and I said I was going to take him home and my BIL pitched a fit. Saying you can't be serious, well yes I was, MY son was tired and didn't want to be there, so yes I want to take him home. We ended up staying, but I hate when my BIL tries to tell me how to parent my child.
Also another annoying MIL issue, she nevers tells us anything that is going on with the family and then gets snippy if we don't tell her things. I had to bit my tongue last night when she asked if we heard that SIL was having another boy...well no we didn't because you didn't tell us!
sorry these are more vents then FFFCs.

my blog
I have two:
Even though I know there is no way it could be a real positive (because I haven't even ovulated), I am still tempted to take a pregnancy test just so I can see a positive one. Because of my trigger shot, it will be positive. I am irrationally excited about seeing a positive test but I think it will make me sad if it's not positive again at the end of the month. And so I resist to urge.
I am supposed to run 8 miles tomorrow. I am scared to because I will probably ovulate today or tomorrow and I don't want to mess anything up even though I know it's not possible....
I would not do the first thing and I probably wouldn't do the second thing either. Even though I know the running would have NO affect, I'm a crazy person, just like you. Just saying I don't blame you
.
Dani I am so sorry. I know what it's like to not be happy in a job. September will a LO will be here before you know it.
::hugs::
Exactly. I'm very happy to have a job but have even considered quitting altogether because I'm so unhappy.
::Hugs::
When I first stopped posting so often, it was because I was having soooo many problems with my job. A lot of it had to do with mycoworker. I went home crying every night and got this huge knot in my stomach on the way to work each morning. It was almost unbearable. Hang in there. My job actually got better and as I got to know my boss, he became one of my favorite people. You're smart. You're funny. Show that job who's boss.
And keep imagining how awesome maternity leave will be.
::More hugs::
Welcome to the dark side
Thanks Em. I would push this baby out tomorrow if it meant I could be on maternity leave and away from this office!

Awww Dani, I'm sorry
I was like that with my old job and I know how miserable it can make you. :::hugs:::
Yeah I won't do it, but I am tempted because I know it would be positive
As for the running - I really need to. I haven't all week and I feel disgusting. I might just do a couple of miles and go very slowly. I'm just a freak and while I know it won't mess anything up because I've been doing it for so long, I still have fears.
So sorry Dani, I know how you feel, just hope that something better is out there once your contract over.
Kathy-get the countertops, it'll be worth it and it's so much easier to have someone do it than DIY.
I have a vent, apparently my dad is now telling my mom he won't go on the cruise b/c my sister didn't get put in prison, instead they made a deal to put her into a 21day program and then a halfway house on the eastern shore of MD. So now b/c my sister can't get her life together, my father is refusing to leave the house for a week in case she gets out of treatment and tries to break in. My sister has completely ruined what little marriage they have thanks to her and I too wish she was in prison, but we're not the judge and there's nothing we can do.
Ugh I hope he wises up, people are looking forward to them coming!
ETA: I do a FFC, I am doing DH's laundry and will be folding it so he doesn't get on me about spending money today b/c he's all apeshit about finances all of sudden yet he doesn't pay the bills.
Wives Unscripted
I hate that we have been spending so much money lately on tech. stuff. We had the few gifts we bought each other or used xmas money on. But then, the new xbos to replace our broken one, a new exteral hard drive to replace ours that up and died, and now the new car. All since xmas. I know we do have the money to cover it, but I always worry that we some how won't. And now DH is talking about upgrading our phones over the summer. Which again is very necessary his turns itself off once a day and other functions don't work right. But still it's just a lot of money. I hate that we have become this dependent on technology. Also it makes me feel bad since I feel like we should only be saving while living at my parents or at least only spending on necessities.
Also my mom suggested that my grandma move in with us. We live in a tiny ranch house. It's tight for just the 4 of us, and honestly, I love my grandma, but I can't live with her and my mom in the same house. I don't have the patience. I worry about this since my mom isn't too many years from being in the same place as my grandma, and this responsibility will fall to DH and I since I'm an only child. That terrifies me. Also it made me wish that we could move out tomorrow, but we all know it just isn't possible right now. And even if we weren't there it is not realistic for her to move in. But I still feel guilty that it is completely off the table because we are living there.
My Knot Bio My Blog
I've got another one JUST now....
MIL just emailed me and said: "can't wait to see you all Sunday!!".
Apparently my husband forgot to tell me they were coming. I love my in-laws to death but I dislike when they tell my husband stuff because then he forgets to tell me. Now I have to rearrange all of my plans.
I POAS last month just to see that I could actually produce 2 lines.

Happens to me ALL the time.
What'd they say? Want me to get Mar's bat?
Yes please. Someone was complaining about how quickly I get paperwork to our service deparments to my boss. My boss was defending me but it was so hard to hear it because I bust my a$$ for the particular thing he is talking about, he went so far as to say I sit on this paperwork all day and leave his guys stranded.
ETA it also sucks because I thought this service manager really liked me and always tells me what a good work ethic I have and he spoke with such anger towards me
I'm sorry Wendy. I have Mar's bat in hand if you need me to "take care" of anyone.
What a jerk face! I would've cried too.
Welcome to the dark side
Thanks ladies, as I could not sleep last night I already have a 'proactive' email formulated in my head to address this. I am still angry so I will save a draft of of the new process I am putting into place and will be re-reading it Monday morning before sending.
Now I have to go read all the other confessions.
