Re: Win and Whine Wednesday

  • Win:  I am glad that breast pumps will be covered by insurance now.

    Whine:  I can't figure out the difference between all of them so have no idea which one to get. (FWP)

    Win: I had some Krave chocolate cereal as a snack yum

    Whine:  I am really wanting some pancakes right now

    Win:  Our house will be done soon!

    Whine:  The fees keep adding up.  Now we have to pay an extra inspection fee.  I know it's important, but come on.  I am not made of money here!  I wanted to use any extra money for paying off debt!

  • Win:  We have enough money put aside to pay off H's car in full, and 2 of our student loans. YAY!

    Whine: We're just waiting on the appraisal to come back on the house to be able to finish up the refinance then put our lump sum toward the debt.

    Win: I'm at the office by myself tomorrow.

    Whine: Everyone is in the office today so I can't call the other 2 Dr's I wanted to get opinions from regarding the lumps on my breasts. Get out of the office people, I want to make personal phone calls without you hearing.

  • Whine: People are actually making me work today, and I don't wanna do any of it.

    Whine: Between the dog wanting to go out in the middle of the night and DH's alarm going off at 4:30 AM then continuously puts it on snooze, I am just getting by on 6 hours of sleep. I'm practically sleeping here at my desk.

    Win: I finally did 3 loads of laundry last night - still haven't put it away, but at least I have clean clothes.

    Win: I had a brownie for dessert. It was sooo good.

    Win: I got DH to wash the dishes for me last night before he went to training.

    Whine/Win: I found out who ate all my Doritos (they went missing) and my dad bought me a bag to cheer me up. I love him!

  • @sparklingdiamond It honestly makes us sick at this point. We knew this was something we could do, but just never had the drive and desire to make it happen.  Now that we do, it's saddening how much money we threw away each month.

    You guys will definitely get there.  Just stick with his plan and your strict budget.

  • Yea, even when we originally did our first Dave Ramsey budget a couple of years ago, I was surprised at how much money we were wasting and we have been able to pay off quite a bit since then.  It's just scary now to take on all the house debt!

  • Win: I got a full night's sleep last night! I realized the pillow I'd been putting between my knees was too big and ended up taking up half the bed, which made me push H to the edge, then he'd wake up and push me back to my side, etc... so, solution = smaller pillow :P

    Whine: My pup is not acting like himself. I think the ear infection he had last week isn't completely gone and he's feeling bad. Follow up appt on Friday, hopefully the vet will have answers. It makes me sad when he's mopey :( (ok, and as I'm about to post this he's being his typical ornery self... go figure)

    Win: I feel good today! Probably related to win #1.

    Whine: I really need to get another pair of maternity jeans, but I'm having no luck.

    Win: It's Wednesday! Half way through the week ;)

    I do not blame you there one bit.

    One of our goals is to either build our dream home on my parent's land or buy a home at the lake.  I've told H the only way I will do either one is if we pay 70% in cash for them. The thought of getting a mortgage after just paying everything off, makes me sick.

  • Win-Ava Nichol slept until 9:15 and I got to wake up on my own and have some me time in silence!

    Whine-Now nap time is probably going to be hell and she probably won't nap today at all :S

  • Win: We had an office luncheon today so I got away from my desk for a bit.

    Whine: Our president took this as an opportunity to unveil our new strategy and proceeded to talk for over an hour as he went through his 45-slide powerpoint presentation. I didn't want to be away from my desk for THAT long.

    Win:  They had dessert. Hello blondie and butterfinger bites!

  • Whine: That one spot in my back is still killing me.  I don't know if I'll have time to get a massage before the weekend.  And wearing a bra isn't helping.

    Whine: LO's kicks HURT today!!!  I love you, little girl, but calm down!!

    Whine: I am SO tired...waking up from heartburn with nausea in the middle of the night sucks.  And meds aren't helping.  DH keeps asking if he can have more of the bed (the snoogle is pushing him out ) and I'm a bitch - I tell him no!  I wanted a king sized bed, he vetoed me, this is his punishment!

    Whine/Win: I think I'm finally re-figuring out this elementary school thing.  I have great lessons for 2nd-5th.  I am still struggling with K and 1, though.  Part of it is the age and the fact that their classes are SO large (29 kids in a 1st grade class!), but I also don't enjoy teaching that many kids that young.

    Win: I am having dinner with a friend in 20 minutes.  I haven't had one on one time with her since maybe November and then I get to see her again on Saturday!

    Win: My shower is Saturday!

    Win: I think this arctic blast crap is finally going away after tomorrow!  I am so OVER winter and cold!!!

  • Whine: the "new girl" in my office was actually a seasonal person downstairs that they converted to a regular employee. Instead of me. And she's dumb. Now I have to train her to take over my job. Win: I just had jack in the box and it was heavenly. Whine: my poor Quincy dog has been fighting an anal gland infection for a couple months and not responding to just oral meds so now we have to anal gland infusions of antibiotic gel on too of more ovals. He does not like this one bit and had to be tranquilized for the procedure. It has to be done once a week for the next four weeks. He's going to hate me.

  • Aww, @DangerMuffin23, your poor doggie!  I hope he gets better soon and doesn't hate you too much.  It's so hard when they don't understand what's going on and that it's for their own good.
