Anything you need to confess?

Re: Confession Thursday
I confess that owning a house has been completely overwhelming. The amount of money that we have spent since we bought the house is crazy. I mean I know that a house is always a project but I didn't think that it was going to be this much of a project already. I do have to look at the bright side of it...the other house that we were going to buy needed a kitchen and a back porch whereas this one didn't.
I also don't understand how we fit so much into a one bedroom apartment but can't seem to find space in a 3 bedroom house...
X_XI ate over half of a Freschetta Brick Oven Crust Pizza for lunch.
I'm eating for 2, so it's all good, right?
My confessions: I'm envious that my husband is taking next wk off between jobs but bummed his trip means I have dog duty the whole time.
We are to the point that we aren't not trying (so technically ttc) but I'm so ready. It feels like forever away! I don't know how women can do it when they have fertility problems. My heart aches for them....just a month seems like an eternity!
Cathy, I am sorry that your house is costing more than expected now, but in a month or two you'll be settled and things will balance out.
Jenn, don't get frustrated, your feelings are all normal and part of learning. You're going to be great! I am going into my 9th year and I still get frustrated when they don't understand something that I think is simple. It's totally normal. And for the talking, it will get better, just be consistent with how you handle it. They are just coming off vacation and probably haven't seen many of their classmates since the end of school. They have a lot of catching up to do. Some years they are really chatty and some years they don't make a peep. Let me know if you need any help!
