Re: Confession Thursday
I know I'll look back on this time in our lives as fun, largely responsibility-free, and fun (no kids, no car payments, no mortgage), but it's actually kind of stressful!
1 - I'm listening to Classical Christmas on Pandora. I'm stresssed out from work, TTC (still nothing, not even spotting now) and I'm getting sick. Christmas songs is my happy place today.
2 - now we can tag, I'm starting to memorize everyone numbers on their screennames.
I have a few confessions today:
1) I'm going to acupuncture tonight and I'm so nervous about it I could pee in my skinny jeans.
2) I'm soooo going to try to take a picture of myself with a bunch of needles sticking out of me. I would find it hilarious later.
3) I've been in a really goofy mood the last couple of days. I'm acting like a certified weirdo. My friends think I'm losing it....
I agree with @ystaalenburg - organization is key!
When we had the kids this summer I got 2 baskets out for lights and darks. Once one was full I threw in a load in the wash. It was so much better than spending all Sat or Sun morning we kept it up. I'll throw a load in the morning when a basket is full, and H moves it over when he goes home, and we fold together. I need a third basket now for "heavy darks" now it's colder, hoodies, jeans etc, otherwise will would be doing those every other day!
H does dishes, I cook, I sweep mop and he vacuums. We found a good balance. Once a month I clean clean and the rest of the time we just pick up. I figure my clean cleaning equals his yard work (mowing and shoveling). And Saturday mornings I go through the paper bills and write out the checks, and mail them Monday morning.
My confession, I'm seriously considering changing jobs again and going back to my old company. I don't like my current small company or the work, and this is the 3rd time I've been asked to come back to the old company, so i think that window will close at some point. I'm torn! I left for a reason but it was my only company out of college , and I wonder if I would enjoy it more now that I know there aren't greener pastures, so to speak. But of course doing this while TTC isn't probably the wisest thing. My original plan was to wait until after maternity leave and reevaluate but who knows when that will be at this point. I need to decide by tomorrow though. Someone run my life please!!
I didn't cry either when I first heard ours either. Nothing is wrong with you! But, yay for hearing the heartbeat
@Seipel12, were you at least able to lay down? I used to have needles in my front and back so I had to sit in a chair, it would be torture. Did your doctor do cupping also? That was always entertaining for me,
