FRIDAY CONFESSIONS!!!!
Ok ladies, spill it.....
I am soo sick of working that i am hoping i fall pregnant soon so i have an excuse to cut down on my hrs, and stop working (hopefully) for a couple years...
Tomorrow i am buying a new pair of shoes....will need to hide box from H, especially as i made him sleep on the couch for 3 nights for spending excess money when we are in debt....
Re: FRIDAY CONFESSIONS!!!!
But it's only Thursday! (j/k I'm just poking some fun at you after your FB post) :-P
I confess that I'm not looking forward to moving to Miami because that means it's legal for me to work again and DH expects me to find a job ASAP. I don't really want to find a job for only three and half months, not to mention IDK if anyone would even be willing to hire in this economy for such a short period of time. I mean, I guess I'll give it a try, but I'm not going to hold my breath!

I confess that I am tempted to live apart from H for 7 months. We moved in Dec, are moving now in March and will move in again in Oct. I don't want to move this weekend. I blame the Army for my stress. I also confess, I resent H tonight for joining. Boo.
Wow, apparently I have more anger than I thought! lol

I confess that my wedding dress, some random gifts, and our packed up centerpiece vases are sprawled out and taking up our entire 2nd bedroom. We have people coming over tomorrow night, and I really wanted to clean the room to make it look nice...but we'll probably end up closing the door.
I also confess that H has been on spring break this week and promised he'd clean the house up and down, but hasn't. He's a procrastinator, so I'm sure he's doing it now...plus, he's still working full time this week, and still overnight, so he really does need to sleep during the day - it's just really stressing me out that the house is dirty and needs to look great tomorrow.
Lastly, I have three close friends that I didn't ask to be BMs (the girls in my band), and I know they were REALLY bitter about it. I didn't ask them because they're a packaged deal in my mind, and I knew I'd eventually have a falling out with one or more of them (we've been in a band, on and off, since high school - this is kind of the protocol). On Tuesday night, the guitarist quit the band in a really dramatic and self-important way. I confess I had felt guilty about the BM decision for a bit...but not anymore! I also confess that said guitarist needs a swift kick in the shins.

-I confess that I'm really over H traveling for work and being on the other side of the country 5 days a week
-I hate the fact that its going to be 15 months until I'm in private practice...it seems like FOREVER!
-While I've said that I refuse to TTC for 4+ years because of wanting to establish myself professionally I wouldn't be against getting pregnant this time next year
- I confess that I am tired of working at dead end jobs, so I have not been looking really hard for a job, despite how tight things are. Yet I resent myself for not being financially independent.
- I am getting really sick of being the only one who does ANY work around the house, and am trying to decide how much housework it is fair to demand of H who works fulltime while I am not working....
- I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, despite having a college degree already and am starting to get very depressed about not having career plans, and very resentful of my friends and college classmates who have their acts together in their profession.
Are you a doctor? Can you tell me what the STEP is honestly like?
We're waiting to TTC because DH is in med school and we'd like to not be living off loans when we get pregnant. And it's a whole complicated situation, IDK when we're actually going to start trying.
Oh and 15 months is only a little over a year, not long at all
It will fly by!

I'm actually a Physician Assistant student- so we don't take STEP- sorry.
And you're right- 15 months isn't that long but it sure feels that way right now.
As for your H being in medical school and TTC- thats tough. We have a friend who is a 4th year that has a 10 month old- but his wife's family helps them financially. Actually, my H and SIL were born while their Dad was in residency and it was pretty hard on them- but his parents made it...its takes a lot of patience and support.
As for us- who knows. Part of us wants to start next year - but then there are so many things we want to do travel and $ wise (buy a house, buy new cars, etc). So we'll see!
- I've been getting aggravated lately over the most stupid things... for no reason at all! ... if you're my friend on FB I'm sure you can tell LOL. I don't know why
- I REALLY want to put our condo on the market, but I'm scared we owe more on it then we can get in this economy... I am DESPERATE to move to a bigger place! I'm sure we can contact an agent and find out and what not, but it's one of those things that I just know the answer in the back of my head and don't want to hear it in person.
-I want to get a new vehicle cuz my current one has 200,000 miles on it and driving over 100 miles a day, I don't want to become stranded on the highway when it feels like it wants to break down. So far it hasn't. (knock on wood) The car is still going strong. I will cry when I got to hand it over to the H for a runner car. I love the car and I know he will trash it.
- Also, I just want to stay home for one day and do NOTHING! Lately, I've been on no sleep between school and work. Just want to sleep and veg. Is that wrong?
Bellebride, be less stressed! I did notice your facebook rants. What helps me is the Spa channel on XM radio and meditation. It really calms my nerves when I'm stressed. Give it a try!
nvan, I can't imagine 200,000 miles on a car. I think 80,000 is too many!

aww thanks for the tip.. I will give it a try!!
Me too. I never thought the car will last with this many miles. Just knew I wanted to keep this car until it can't run anymore. The neat thing is I have a 2002 Impala. Best purchase I made ever with a vehicle, besides my motorcycle.
My husband has been looking for a new job (unsuccessfully) for about a year now because he is totally miserable in his current job. Yesterday he said he got a call about a 3-6 month contract job in California (we live in Chicago) and he said he would consider taking it and living apart from me during that time, visiting every other weekend.
I confess that I totally guilted him into not even considering the job because I can't stand the thought of living apart from my husband. I know military families do it all the time, but I just don't think I have it in me. I will support him if he wants to move to a different state for a job (even though it means putting my attempt at a teaching career on hold), but I just can't stay here without him!
I also confess that it made me a little mad that he would even consider it. I know his current job makes him miserable, but I can't believe he'd be happier at a new job but living WITHOUT ME than he is at his job now while living with me.
BFP on Jan. 18; EDD Oct. 1
I got a 1/2 hour left of Friday, so I'm sneaking in for a bit.
I confess that while I said just a few months ago that DH and I wouldn't even DREAM of conceiving for at least 2 years, and I firmly believed I meant that even a month ago ... that in the past couple of weeks I've been slowly getting a case of Baby Brain ... and it's scaring the sh!t out of me.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the fact that 2 of my coworkers just had babies and my sister, 1 of my friends and one of my "friends" are all pregnant right now. Idk, wanting a baby seems so out of character for me ... and yet ... ugh, part of me wants to smack the part of me that's even thinking about this, lol.
I also confess that we still haven't sent Thank Yous. We were waiting on wallet photos from the photog ... and I'm getting sick of waiting. It's almost April, and my guests haven't been thanked yet. I'm torn, because now if I send them without a picture, it just looks like we're lazy... but I don't know how much longer I want to wait on the photos at this point.
