I joined a local mom group but am debating about going to the play date today. Most of the babies are much younger and just rolling over. There is only one other baby Lily's age. I'm not sure if she will be there. Plus all of the get togethers are on the south side of Denver at least 30 min from me and they are always during lunch. So of course there is traffic. Not the end of the world but I can't really leave early since that is when Lily naps. Just disappointed in the group. I guess I need to look for another one that is closer to me and with more kids who are Lily's age.

Sounds like it doesn't work out for multiple reasons. Another group might be best.

I should join a mom group because it would be good for Caden and myself. I just haven't because I generally do not lile hanging out with women. The vast majority of my friends have always been male. Women can be so catty lol.

So instead I plan on spending 70 bucks a month so Caden can go to My Gym and get his playtime with other kids fix there.

I joined a mom's group I found on meetup.com, but only went to one meetup. It was at the library and I didn't know who was in the group vs who was just there for the story time on their own. I never introduced myself and I am pretty sure I got kicked out because I don't get emails for meetups anymore.

Money and student loans are really stressing me out. I am nervous about the big budgeting conversation DH and I are going to have on Sunday. I really want to stay home with Abby, but know I should be working at least part time. DH is not open to the idea. Ugh! I'm not sure what we are going to do.

I still have baby fever something fierce. Yesterday must have been "announce your pregnancy on Facebook day." I saw at least four. Problem is, T and I (okay more so me) are still up in the air about it. We decided to not have a major discussion until after the trip. We have had a few smaller one those. T seems ready whenever. I keep going back and forth. We'll get there. Until then, my baby fever will fester lol.

I really wish I hadn't gotten my BIL and his gf together. There is way too much drama, which I'm pretty sure is going to end in severe unhappiness for him. And I set them up...

I'm also ready to just be done with the whole house buying thing. Can it just be June?

I would say to ditch the mom's group.

shellyamf · February 2014

Yeah thinking I will leave the mom group. I was able to sign up for a 30 day trial through meetup.com before having to pay the yearly dues.

Amity - I might look into the MyGym thing. I agree on not wanting to hang out with a big group of women. The drama drives me crazy. I was just wanting to find other people with kids so Lily could socialize.

FFFC - I guess this is more of a confession than the one I posted earlier. And possibly TMI for some. Having cramps today. It's either AF returning or implantation. At least I hope it's one of those two happening. I keep getting crampy for a day or two about once a month for the last 4 months but never have a period. I always think AF, but when that doesn't happen, I test a week later and it's always negative.

That sucks being stressed about money. I know you feel. Just filed our taxes last night and our return will certainly relieve some money stress for awhile. I know you want to stay home. Have you considered finding something online that you can do from home?? There is a website called tutor.com and you have to have a degree to tutor some of the subjects but not all of them. You can work anywhere from 5-25 hours a week and on the days and times you choose. So you could work when YH was home. Not sure if that would work for you or not. I looked into it and applied but still need to complete the testing.

I second this. I think it would be a good idea for you to look for something you could do from home. That way you both get something out of it.

@shellmaneth & @imperiumwife I have defintely been looking around for something I can do online wheter it be teaching at a virtual online school or tutoring. The problem is my laptop broke and a lot of the places want you to have a webcam setup for that. There's a place I saw that does repairs for $75. Maybe I'll have to look into that. Also maybe making onsies and selling them. I hand stitched the turkey on Abby's Thanksgiving one and dh said I should make more and sell them. The thing is you have to have the money to buy materials up front.

Am and Michelle, How are your shops doing? Are you seeing a good return?

shellyamf · February 2014

I haven't sold anything yet. So far only friends have liked my Facebook page. Not sure how many people know about it yet. And I know what you mean about money to buy stuff. So far I only have 3 blankets for sale. I've been searching clearance and buying a piece here and there for several months. I just shelled out $60 for more material this week. But will have to wait until some blankets sell to buy more. Unless I can convince DH to let me use some of our tax return.

I have a feeling you all are about to read a book.

I POAS last night because I couldn't wait anymore. Negative! I think my body hates me. Had a miscarriage and now it seems harder to conceive. The time restrictions are really starting to stress me out.

Moms groups suck. I have never fit in with any of them. It's worse than high school. I went to a Girl Scout all adult meeting last night and was thinking WTH have I gotten myself into?

Work has been slow this week and whenever that happens I am not a very happy person. I feel inadequate and like I am letting myself and family down. I couldn't imagine not being able to buy and provide for my kids.

I also have been watching Alaska the last frontier on Netflix and now I am all crazy wanting to have a garden, chickens and buy a cow. It makes me kind of sick not knowing where my food is coming from and the cruel way these animals are being slaughtered.

I did get a good call today. I was asked to do hair and make up for the fashion show at a bridal show in 9 days.

Well I think that is all that is annoying me for now.

Michelle-

There is a flea market every saturday during the summer. It isn't horribly far from your house. I have always wanted to go, but never bed. Might be an option. I think its called Mile High.

What about facebook groups? There is a Morgan County Buy and Sell and people are ALWAYS buying things on there. I am sure there is one for Denver.

I promise to buy one thing from each person when I need them.

jtmh2012 · February 2014

I really hate lazy painters. When they painted this house, nothing was painted behind, so anything we move has to be repainted or moved back....grrrr

one2andnow3 · February 2014

Good idea Jen. I am on the Douglas county buy sell trade and highlands ranch has a good garage sale one on on fb.
