  • Good thoughts: to everyone TTC, mamas-to-be, anyone dealing with unemployment, illness, cancer, or other challenges

    Confession: I am taking a much-needed running hiatus for a few weeks. Training nonstop since late August is not a good idea. I have an injury that needs to fully heal before I can get back at it. Oh, I'll still exercise, just not run for a few weeks.

  • Good thoughts - to all of you for health, wealth, TTC, pregnancy, good luck in childbirth, for happiness at home and work, for all the things you want and need.

    Confession: I need a break from my children. Dinner out is one thing but I need a real break, like an overnight break where I can go to bed and wake up whenever my body wants to wake up, not when my kids do. We've never had the kids away from us overnight, and I never really wanted to, but after Miss M and her lack of sleep for the past year I am ready for a break. But then I'm scared because of Ben's recent separation anxiety issues. Maybe this summer. Not that I have any idea where we'll go, but it would be nice to get away for a night. 

    Confession: this roommate thing is getting old. I'm almost ok if we have to move this summer b/c then we will downsize and bye-bye roomie. 

    Confession: I want to feel happy again. I'm so stressed and so frazzled all day every day that it's just horrible. I had a few smiling moments today and then they are gone with one or both kids screaming for something. Oy.

  •  *hugs* to you michele! i don't know how you're doing the working/parenting/job hunting routine every day. just job hunting has me ready to lose my sh*t!!

    confession: DH is getting fed up with his job (lack of investment in him/opportunity for promotion) so tonight we're going to talk about maybe both job hunting elsewhere . . . no idea where, but this city has certainly been a big, fat FAIL for my career.

  • Ugh Cheeky I'm so sorry to hear that about Josh. I apparently threw my career away when we moved to Minnesota, and it sucks. I don't even have time to job hunt right now - I can barely keep up with parenting and working and cleaning the house. My poor kids get like 10 minutes with me then I'm off to do something. Sucks. Hoping that another week of insanity and I can have this place whipped into shape after a long winter and a new roommate. I'm doing a pantry purge next week that should help with the kitchen, and ordered 2 new storage things for my work stuff that is strewn everywhere. What I really need is an entire day spent in my den downstairs purging stuff too. Ugh. We just have too much crap so I feel like there's never a good place to put things. So I'm constantly rearranging when I just want to clean.

    Ok, wow, vent over ;-)
