Re: Thursday Confessions...
I want a new pair of shoes so badly I am seriously considering returning towels that people got us for cash. I am desperate. I am trying to hold off until I get a full-time job, or cash for Christmas, whichever comes first (please say the job!)
Speaking of towels, I decided that although I love love love our black and white shower curtain, I cannot choose?accompanying?colors of towels (hence the returning) and therefore when we move out of this apartment I am starting over with the bathroom.?
Kevin's brother Nate is getting married in 3 weeks (Oct. 17) and he wants to start having babies right away (his best friend has a 1 year old and ever since his wife got pregs, apparently Nate has had baby fever). On one hand I would be super happy for them, but on the other hand, I want to have the first baby which is sort of childish but I do. Oh well, we'll see how things go.?
Gosh I have a lot today huh...?
Lets see....
I have no motivation to do anything...whether its dishes, laundry, cleaning or even taking the dog for a walk. Its awful!! If I go home and sit down and don't want to get up at all. I am hoping its just this baby making me so tired, cause my house looks like a tornado went through.
and thats not helping our situation of packing since we start moving tomorrow!! ekkkk
I also found out that my coworker who is supposed to be off tomorrow will be here....now I could take the day off possibly which would help so much, but is that bad since Im not supposed to??
My poor DH. My hormones have been so out of wack, I'm mad one minute and crying the next. All for no reason! Thankfully he is very understanding about it all. I'll be glad when I'm not so hormonal.
My IL's invited themselves to our appt on Tuesday. I was so upset. This is our baby and we should be able to go through this experience on our own, without any hand holding (not that we need any). I almost told the receptionist to not let them back when they called me. Thankfully when I was called, I jumped up and practically ran back with my sonographer. I was moving so fast she thought I was alone, until we made it down the hall and DH caught up with me.
Kelcat- that is not fair that they just showed up to your appointment. It would be different if you wanted them to come. I was worried about this just because my aunt works at my doctors office, and I figured she would want to know everything, but so far she has been ok with it. We will see what happens when we have our anatomy scan.
So do they plan on coming to every appointment?
Hmm. I also have been SUPER lazy this week! I haven't done any laundry. Poor H is down to his last pair of jeans and his last t-shirt for work today =( I felt like such a horrible wife this morning! He had to buy lunch two days this week because I wouldn't get out of bed to pack his lunch & he was running late and didnt have time! (ugh, bad wife again!)
I am also wanting a new dress for my sisters' wedding this weekend! I shouldn't spend the money, but H has been working hella OT the last 2 weeks and his check was twice what it normally is so im like welll we do have the money! Buuut I really should put all the extra in savings and just wear a dress and shoes I already have. but I really really really want a new dress. Hmph. lol shame on me for wanting to spend H's hard earned money!!
Maybe you can use the "but im pregnant and none of my dresses will look right, or fit, or whatever?" I'd try it!

I need advice on how to survive while H is away! I am 98% sure that H will be going out of town for work for about a month Mon-Sat, home sat night- Sunday. Back out of town Monday =( . I have conflicting feelings! I know H enjoys the work he will be doing while he is out of town. It is the same work he has been doing for the last 2.5 wks that has been giving him such good OT. Otherwise he hates his job & is miserable. Right now though he is getting to work with the electrical crew and electrical is his "thing"! ( I guess I should mention he is maintenance mechanice for Cemex, gigantic concrete company)..... so right now they are rewiring some of the concrete plants and the next one they are doing is in Orange City (Which is near Daytona Beach, and that is about 1.5/2 hrs from us).. it's not "that" far, but its to far to drive back and forth every day when he has to be there at 6 and won't get off till 6 or 7. So I guess they give the guys hotel rooms. H has never worked out of town since we've been together. I know the money is going to be very good and we need it but i'm not digging this eating by myself crap. For the last 3 nights in a row i've eaten dinner by myself and put dinner in the microwave for H. this is not cool! I live 45 minutes from my hometown and i can't drive there every night to hang out with my friends (my dogs would hate my guts if i left them in their crates 24/7).
Things could change and he could end up not going but i'm trying to mentally prepare myself for if he does leave. We very rarely spend a night apart. Hardly ever. I mean sleeping apart. We go out seperatly and get home at all hours seperatly but we never sleep at other peoples houses..well hardly. I prefer to drive home at 4am after being out w/ friends rather then staying at their house (is that weird? oh well).
so..that was kind of long and rambly but oh well. sorry.
I just hate being broke.
we are still living paycheck to paycheck. DH has 4 or 5 credit cards and they are all very close to being maxed out. We just put new tires on the car 2 weeks ago, and now our brakes need to be replaced. Thankfully I get paid weekly, but its only $320/wk after taxes.
Basically all the money I make has been going to pay for the incidentals that come up. I paid for our camping trip in August and our trip to our friend's wedding. I paid for the tires and will be paying for the brakes. I just feel like we aren't making any headway and we're supposed to be trying to save for a house for next year.
I am right there with you. I feel like we both work so hard and don't ever have money to just blow if we want to go on a date or out with friends. Right now we are living so tightly and its not that we live in an expensive house or have a lot of bills.....I am blessed we both have full time jobs and mu Dh loves his job, so no worries there, but me not so much. I am ready for something else, but right now I cant leave where I am and we cant afford for me to work part-time or stop working until after the baby comes.....
