Re: Thursday Confessions...
DH and I are traveling upstate this weekend to visit my family. My ridiculous aunt and uncle are "throwing" a college graduation party for my cousin and her two best friends and sent out formal invites. Then, this week, asked everyone to bring at least one dish as they will not be providing food!!! What? They are freaking insane. I'm taking the cheap and easy route and will make a few pans of brownies tonight - and I'm only doing that because I never show up empty handed and would have brought something regardless.
Other than that, life is good :-)

I'm still doing not so hot on the eating well front. I am eating very healthy as far as meals go, but still sneaking in some junk food now and then. its so easy to keep junk out of the house, but I always seem to find some when I'm out
?
otherwise things are good. I'm running errands today for my trip to Canada and so much looking forward to seeing family and catching up with people from high school. My grad class was only 67 people and only about half of them are coming to the reunion, but it will be nice to catch up with people. ?
I think my biggest problem with eating is that I work at a grocery store and everything is available to you - we have a patisserie, a sub shop, a panini place, fresh foods bar, pizza, subs...its tough!
Yesterday someone told me I looked like I lost a few and I replied "What, marbles?" (as I tend to look a little frazzled as the day wears on) and she said "No, pounds!" which I don't think is true, but its a compliment I will take.
I am having serious BOTB issues (check out my blog) and it can't be too long before Kevin gets annoyed with hearing about it. ?
I really wish I could be a SAHM. I would love it! I just have to get through a few more years...then it might become a reality.
I also think that giving me a list of things to do today, while my managers goes to the Braves game is crazy! He gets to go have fun...why make us miserable?
And tonight I plan on having a good time w/DH. I always worry about our daughter waking up and I dont have to worry tonight
I've been eating like total crap all week, because I want to eat up a bunch of stuff before moving and also because I just feel like it
Otherwise, I am super nervous about my move. It's not like I haven't moved before to a new place where I haven't known anybody, but it still is sad to be moving to a new place without DH. I feel like there are so many things that we should be doing together right now but that we can't because we are still living apart. That makes me really sad sometimes, so I try not to think about it...
And also, I am an only child, and my parents are still like super involved in my life. I mean come on, I am a grown-ass woman who (finally!) has a job and is married! It is getting to be a little much, but i don't know how to break it to them nicely that they need to back off a little! lol
I dont have a good confession- the same thing as always. my co-worker is driving me insane. Luckily she doesn't come in until 130 today but still. gaw.
i'm anxious about starting school again in August. I am applying for the coding specialist program and i'm afraid I won't get in. they only do the program once a year, so i would have to wait until next August to apply again. I don't want to wait another year. I guess if I don't get in i'll try and find another school that has a program.
i'm also anxious about the fact that Aunt Flo did not come this month- uhm hello? But if you remember i was on my period for over a month , and then i went to the dr & she changed my BCP... so i'm chalkin' it up to the fact that my pills changed and my body is just out of wack. I refuse to take a pregnancy test-..... i don't "feel" pregnant. lol.. and i'm so not ready to be pregnant. ew i dont even want to think about!
DH didn't get the job at the sheriff's office that we have been PATIENTLY waiting to hear back on for FOREVER. I'm secretly saddened and depressed beyond all recognition but I can't let him know because I need to be strong for him right now and encourage when in reality I just want to crumble and fall apart. I'm tired of being the strong one all the time. Can I just get like a break for like a month? a week? thats not enough. ANd he's been looking for jobs while waiting to hear back (we both have) and there isn't _shit out there....uggh i don't know what we are going to do. He still has 3 1/2 months of unemployment left thank God. I just hope something happens soon.
My aunt that is in the hospital has congenital heart failure, atrial fibrillation(sp) and some kidney failure. She is very much so diabetic and is also having problems with her feet. The podiatrist that saw her the other day is wanting to do surgery on her feet, saying the bone is infected adn that is what is causing the swelling but my mom wants her to someon else for a second opinion just to be safe. I woudl hate for her to ahve surgery on her feet and it not be necessary and then her have a horrible time of healing from it.
This weekend cannot come any sooner. I can't wait to get away and just be DH and I and that's all that matters.
I'm tired

Yeah Meg, that really sucks he didn't get the job.?
I sure hope he finds something soon. *hugs*
?
Hey ladies. I am so sorry for my lack of participation lately. At work, a lot of websites have been blocked (before we were told we weren't allowed to go on these, but now we actually cannot get on). I've missed you all.
I think this may be my first ever confession. I sometimes lurk on the Getting Pregnant and 1st trimester boards... even though I don't even want to TTC for another 4-5 years. A co-worker recently became a grandma so I think that has something to do with it. (We threw her a shower and she has 3 kids... and she told us this is the first baby shower she's ever had).
OK.... not really a confession... but DH is unemployed. His contract with EA ended on Friday. He knew it was coming so he's been looking for a job for some time. I just hope he gets a job ASAP. My close friend has been unemployed for over a month...
P.S. Megan I am soooo sorry to hear about DH. Sending vibes your way!
