Win and Whine Wednesday

Win- I am taking an online training for a grief group that I am doing for school. I had someone send me the link since she paid for the training.  It came pre-loaded with all her answers! SCORE.  I still went through everything but didn't have to deal with taking the test after it all. I am sure she didn't mean too, but it was nice.

Whine-I am tried of working.  I am suppose to be enjoying my summer but instead I am running a kitchen that I don't know how. I am also working on a grant to finalize, and I am preparing for a court case.  Also, a co worked emailed us about have triplets due around my EDD.  Pretty sure I cried all day. 

Post yours. 

Re: Win and Whine Wednesday

  • Win- I had a really great job interview today. Also my parents and I booked a cruise that we will take in November.

    Wine- It looks like DH did not get a second interview at the school he interviewed at. Ugh, we had such high hopes.

    Married the love of my life on 1-21-12. Our princess arrived on 5-28-13.

  • Win- I got health insurance.

    Whine- of course I always have a negative to go with my positive. I made my first dr appointment. I am so scared to go that I made it for August 4th. The receptionist kept saying we usually like to see you between 7-9 weeks. I will be 11 when I go. My fear of a repeat miscarriage is beyond imaginable.
  • sending hugs Aleigha.  I am sure that is hard.  You might get assurance if you go in sooner?  Sorry sweetie.
  • I am just want it to be bigger than when I had the miscarriage. At least if it's a positive appointment I know I made it through that stage.
  • I understand that love.  I am thinking of you!
  • Win: J and I went to BRU just to push around strollers, and we picked out the stroller we wanted. We wandered to the back of the store and sitting there was the stroller we wanted new in the box, but marked down from $180 to $70. When we asked why it was so discounted, they said it was a color that they only sold online, so they were just trying to move it out of the store. So now I have a stroller sitting in my apartment. 

    Whine: I'm feeling like I'm in limbo. Since I graduated about a month ago, I've been searching for a summer/seasonal/temp job since I'm planning on staying home with the baby. I would feel awkward starting a job just to quit, so I'm looking for one that is only for a few months. I'm just feeling like I'm pretty useless right now, in a rut.

  • Win: great eye appt for Lily today. Also sorted through her room and have all infant clothes and toys in totes for storage. Removed the front of her crib. Debating about buying a toddler rail for $100 or just putting the mattress on the floor and saving the money. But yay for all we accomplished today. Whine: (other than my iPad not formatting) my stress while P is gone. I have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, even napping. My mind just spins with all kinds of what if thoughts. My eye has been twitching all day.

  • Win: I found out dh's er visit in May is paid and there is "no patient responsibility". I was dreading making the call about the bill and am happily surprised. We leave for a 3 day mini vacation early tomorrow morning. I am excited to go to the other coast.

    Whine: I am very nervous about leaving so early. Some days Abby is up at 8:30 and others 10:30. We plan to leave at 7.

    I packed up Abby's room of infant stuff yesterday. I can't believe the space I have in her closet now. I put her crib mattress on the floor after reading about Montessori Bedrooms and floorbeds. She isn't sleeping in there yet, but when shd does that is my plan. Right now she sleeps with us on our floorbed.

    I'm glad Lily's appointment went well :)

  • @shellyamf Did they say her glasses are helping a lot?
  • Yes, her glasses have really helped. Her left eye was weaker than her right eye and they said it has improved. She's still far sighted and still needs her glasses. Her left eye has improved enough they said we weren't going to use an eye patch yet. We go back in October for another check up. It still sounds like we might have to patch her right eye to strengthen her left one if it doesn't improve more between now and then.

  • I know I'm really late, but here it goes.

    Win- There is actually a job opening for the gifted teacher at the school that I've worked at for the past two years. If I have a chance of getting a job this year, I think this is it.

    Whine- I am so tired of just going, going, going. I feel like this summer has been worse than the school year, which was already terribly busy.
