I confess that I am a little depressed that my birthday is coming up next month. I really don't want to get any older. I keep feeling that by the time we get pregnant I will be such an old mom. Although Savanah Guthrie from the Today show just announced that she is pregnant with her first and she is 42. That does make me feel a little better.
I confess that I need a vacation. I haven't had a proper one since our honeymoon. I need the beach, salty air, a cool bottle, and a freakin tan. Can't wait until we leave for the Outer Banks in May.
After the QOTD I confess that I looked behind the toilet in my bathroom and was shocked. There is like a colony of dust bunnies back there. I further confess that I did nothing about it, yet... I swear I'll get to it sooner or later!!
I got the big fat Burrito yesterday from this chicken place by work. It's HUGE! I usually get 2 meals out of it. I ate 3/4 yesterday! I can officially say my appetite is back. But I'm sad today I only have 1/4 to eat today, and not 1/2. I also told cw who couldn't go yesterday I'll go back with him to get another hahaha hahaha. No plans to go... Yet.
My confession is that I took 2 days off from thesis writing to advocate for science funding on Capitol Hill, and now that I don't want to go back to writing : (
I advocated for science funding with the Society for Neuroscience. Tuesday, I had a meeting at SfN's headquarters in D.C., and yesterday I had 8 congressional meetings on Capitol Hill. On Tuesday, I didn't get home until 10pm and yesterday, I was up at 4:30 am and didn't get home until after 8:30 at night. All of the meetings were successful, but today I'm having huge Hill Day hangover, haha! I just want to go back to bed, not edit this thesis!
H and I aren't finding out the sex of the baby. I really didn't want to know until this morning, when we had our anatomy scan. The tech had us close our eyes when she looked in that region and I tried to peak, but when I opened my eyes, I didn't have the heart to look.
I have a second confession. The one realtor has me on an auto email list. Although when I met him, I told him our max budget, he has the emails set for $50,000 over.
I was emailed this GORGEOUS, perfect looking for us, move in ready house, $50,000 over our max. I really want the house and we can afford it, it would just be tight. H won't even give in to look.
Yesterday H's company said they are reducing everyone's hours from 40 a week to 32 because there isn't a lot of work for everyone (he works as an environmental technician). Money is already sort of tight since I haven't been able to find a job so I'm really concerned about this cut back. They say it's only untl summer when business is expected to pick up but I'm still worried. We are actively TTC and we need to be saving money for the future but that's going to be tricky on a reduced income. We have some money saved but it was supposed to be spent on new windows this summer...
My confession is I'm so over being super supportive of my friend's rash decisions. She is getting a divorce, not that long after getting married. I've been there for everything in her life for 10 years, including going to her destination wedding, and we talked about her taking things slowly because her marriage happened very quick. Not 3 weeks ago she told me about a guy she is dating casually, but nothing serious because she wants to move back out to CA next year. Then Tuesday she says she wants to tell me something and he might move with her. This is one year after she was talking marriage with her ex after 3 months of dating. I can't, I just can't!
I confess that I am jealous of my friend because she's lost more weight than me. She started the same workout program about a week before me but she's down about 10lbs when I've only lost 6. It's mostly my fault because I took a longer break than actually needed after I hurt my back. That news has definitely kicked my ass and I finally worked out last night. I'm going to loose this damn weight once and for all!
H has thrown a fit every night this week when he comes to bed (yanks the covers, Mumbles, and makes all kinds of noises getting into bed) which woke me up every night. Last night I had it. It didn't help I was pmsing since my period started. So I threw my pillow at him. He complained about me turning on the tv in the morning when I get ready and just leaving it on while I'm getting ready and that my alarm wakes him up. So this morning after my alarm I turned on the tv just long enough to check the weather then I went to get ready but when I came back to the bedroom I turned on the big bright light to get dressed. He said he gives I can use the tv for light in the morning. I don't feel bad. I figured the bright light would do the trick.
@Nic12184 , I just got exhausted reading that! Wow, that's busy!
I confess that despite the fact that we were told constantly that we'd get observed today (AND DIDN'T!) which means that we probably will tomorrow since I have to have 2 more in the next 11 school days, 2 of which I'll be out, I don't give a flying flip! I mean, I care how it turns out, but I spent so much time preparing for today and it didn't happen. I'm always prepared, but our team was more meticulous for today. I left school as soon as the kids were gone, came home, got a massage from my friend who's in massage school, sat my happy but down, ate my chips and dip, and I'm now waiting to go to dinner for FIL's birthday and drink some wine. No work whatsoever. Screw it! I'm as prepared as I'm going to be for it.

I think I'm rethinking team green.
