I confess that Kelsey usually goes to my MIL one night a week to save us some on daycare...well last night Dh and I just cuddled and watched tv together and had a good time, which hasnt happened much lately with me being sick 24/7 and tired. While I miss my little one so much I wish I had one more night just to relax with Dh, but there will always be next week!

I confess that I regret enrolling on this online school that I am currently doing. That is horrible to say. I want to get my coding certificate but i am SO SICK OF SCHOOL!!!! The whole program is online based, and its all reading. There are no online lectures or anything like that. It's all reading. I'm only on the first class...and I should be further along then that. I just can't sit there for 2-4 hours and read, i mean seriously, i have so much more to do then sit and read! I feel like I can't get anything done. Apparently I suck at time management. I just feel like im always doing something, i feel like I never have time to spend w/ H , and its getting really old.

Britt - I'm glad that you have at least one night a week to yourself - you shouldn't feel bad at all about that. Hope you get well soon!

Jena - school, especially online school, can get old. I hope you find some killer motivation to get through quick!

As for me, I confess that our house is SUCH a disaster. It seems like DH and I argue about it more than we should. No serious fights, but our house is so small (and still halfway under construction) that it's hard to even feel like starting on the cleaning. I am doing better about keeping up with laundry, dishes and vaccuming. However, stuff like hanging up curtains, staining the floors, cleaning out the "stuff" room and making more remodeling progress is taking forever. But.. I guess I would rather have time to run, cook and spend time with DH than have a super perfect house.

My office is so brutally hot (about 90 degrees) that I got physically ill yesterday and ended up with ankles so swollen that I had to lay at home with them elevated for over an hour as soon as I got home last night. I do not want to dip into my maternity leave before I really need it but, if something doesn't change, I'm going to need to take a few days off just so I don't end up in the hospital dehydrated. Crap. (I have filed a formal complaint with our business offive, Admin and Building and grounds).

My mom is all of a sudden the most self-centered person I know. She is showing absolutely no interest in this baby yet, for my sister, she planned two elaborate showers (she isn't doing anything at all for mine - I probably won't even have one) and she makes the 4 1/2 hour drive across the state at least once a month. I only live 2 1/2 hours away from her and she has only been down to visit once since I got pg. All of my life it's been clear that my younger sister was her favorite and it couldn't be more apparent now. Just makes me very sad.

Well Kevin's friends *might* be pregnant, and the H doesn't seem all that happy and the wife is still smoking as she is in denial about the positive pregnancy test. I am swimming in a sea of babies at work and in my personal life. Of course, I am all pro-baby and Kevin's family and friends are all "Oh you need to have a baby, I can't wait, baby, grandkids, baby." Meanwhile, Kevin gets this look of terror on his face and my family and friends are like, "You better not be pregnant, don't you want to do x,y, and z first, no babies! down with babies!" ?Jen - I'm sorry that your mom is not being as enthusiastic as you might hope. Maybe she'll surprise you once the baby comes... Not that this makes up for it, but it seems your in-laws will be pretty smitten.B - I think its ok to not spend every possible second with your child. Getting away and having alone time (by yourself, or with your husband) is good for you and your marriage, plus it gives you a refreshed outlook when you are back with your child.Lisa - I think you've got the right attitude, there is always going to be another opportunity to clean and there is always going to projects on the to-do list. Enjoy each other, you're not newlyweds forever you knowJena - I think I would have a hard time sitting and reading on the computer like that. Maybe you could go work at the library or something that would get you away from the temptations of other things to do at home? That way you have to do it before you can go home and work on anything else. Keep plugging away!?

Meagan - you are a sweetheart! I think one of my favorite parts of confessions on this board is that everyone cares and will write nice notes of encouragement about your problems! Thanks!!

Jen - GL with the hot, nasty office. That is awful. I'm glad you had the guts to file an official complaint! Also - that must be hard to deal with your mom playing favorites in such an obvious way. I'm sure it doesn't help, but in DH's family, his little sis is the clear favorite. She gets all she wants, and my in laws are SO excited for her wedding. For ours, they mostly complained about it and didn't do the things I asked until the last minute. She is the perfect child - and everything that DH (or his older sister) does is never as good as what the little sis does.

It's easier for me to get over this because it's not my own parents. I get along with them and recognize that I'm rather glad that don't smother DH the way they smother little sis. But, I think it happens in every family to some degree so you are not alone! As Meag says, maybe she will surprise you when the baby does come:)

DH and I had a "fight" (discussion really but I was emotional and crying because I was tired and its that time of month). We have money issues! who doesn't right? But last year, before I moved down here, he assured me we would be able to buy a house this year. HA. now he is saying, in a year or so. That sucks, since we want a house before a baby and I have the baby itch BAD! Our apartment sucks. its a 2 bedroom apartment, but DH has lived here for 15 years and he is a PACKRAT! Seriously, he has clothes in 2.5 of the 3 closets. (I have half a closet and 2 dresser drawers). He has bookshelves in every room that are full of books and magazines and there are boxes of random things everywhere. Think of the most cluttered houses you've seen on "Clean Sweep" and that is our place. It sucks. I hate that its this way and I cant do anything about it since its his mess. Most of my stuff is in our storage unit.We've decided that he is going to really focus on getting the apartment cleaned out, selling or donating some magazines and books, donating clothes that don't fit him anymore, and throwing away things that are just junk. I just feel like these are all things that he should have been doing over the 2 years we were long distance... ugh***************************************************************************** Meag- I feel ya on the baby thing. I have so many friends having babies and I want to have them so bad. As far as your family goes, having a baby is between you and Kevin, what your family thinks needs to be done first isn't their choice to make. Jen - That sucks that your mom is not interested in your baby. Is she preoccupied with other things? Maybe she is planning something that is going to be a surprise?as far as the office temperature, that is horrible. I hope they do something to fix it soon. Is there any way to elevate your feet at work? even a little foot stool or something?
