Holy quietness! GTKY slow-day poll
What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself?
About DH?
After 22 cycles and 4 failed IUIs, Serafina joined our family through IVF/ICSI, born 8.28.12
Surprise! The Sequel is due 12.8.14!
Re: Holy quietness! GTKY slow-day poll
What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself? I wish I could have my wisom teeth pulled and all of them straightened. They're not too bad, but will probably only get worse with all the crowding going on in there.
About DH? I wish he could fall asleep while still snuggling with me. He's good right up until the point of actually dozing off, then he has to turn on his right side, which unfortunately means he has to have his back to me. I can spoon with him for a few minutes, but then I get restless and have to roll over. He feels badly about it, but he just can't fall asleep in any other position. grrrr...
What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself?
Lots of things. I wish I could lose about 75 lbs. I wish I could write again. (I miss writing.) I wish I had a high paying job.
About DH?
I wish he had more self discipline. He talks about wanting to lose weight, but at the same time, doesn't want to change his eating habits or exercise more.
What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself? I wish I was more outgoing. I have always been fairly introverted and envy more social people with scores of friends. I know I have fewer, more meaningful relationships, but, you know, the grass is always greener and all that.
About DH? I have exactly the opposite problem as you, kelnyc. DH would be perfectly happy to snuggle all night, but I am much more comfortable on my back. This means that every time he gets up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom or whatever else, he comes back and asks me to roll over. It makes for a not-so-restful night. I may be the only woman in the world whose husband wants to cuddle more than she does.

- That I would stop being so opinionated and bossy, and I am only that way to people I am close with
it's my way or the highway
-That he would eat cheese
My Blog!
What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself? Theway I look. I really want to lose at least 50lbs. It wont put me at my all time low, but it will make me feel better about my self and even push my to stay that way even before/after we have baby #2.
About DH? Lets see..... One would be when he keeps saying he needs to lose weight, but then wants pizza or wings for dinner. The second would be that every once in a while he will eat soo loud that he has to turn the volume of the tv up so he can hear. I can stand it when I hear people eat. It drives me NUTS. Thats all I can think of for now.
My DH is a vegetarian and ate very little cheese, but since he met me, that has changed exponentially! LOVES ME SOME CHEESE!
Me - I wish I could leave the stress of the lab in the lab... and not always bring it home. Or I wish I just knew what I wanted to do with my life. Or that I had the balls to quit and find something I REALLY like doing.
DH - He always tells me what I want to hear, whether he means it or not. Which means it's super hard for us to come to a decision together... even about restaurants or something. He's just always saying, yeah ok. That sounds great. Which MADDENS me to no end! I WANT your opinion, that's why I ask. And he always says that he "will" do something when I ask him to, but that usually means on his time... except for me, that means now.
Me... that I could keep opinions to myself. I'm not a mean girl, I just don't think about my audience all the time. Lately, it's been about how being pregnant looks like it sucks more than anything ever. I bet I'll be pregnant myself in a few years and I'll be eating those words. I find myself saying a lot of stuff that basically boils down to "well, you should have thought about that before..." or "that's your own fault..." haha!
DH... that he could get the job of his dreams. I know that's not changing something about HIM, but it would be changing his life. He needs a great job because he deserves it and he's been looking for so long. I wish I could just magically get it for him.
What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself? my weight, I need to lose like 50lbs to be "healthy" and I need to exercise.
About DH? I wish he would quit smoking!!!! and his weight, he needs to gain like 10lbs maybe 20. He's not really skinny, he is just too tall:)
What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself? That I was better with follow-through on projects. I always get grand ideas and then don't see them through. :-(
About DH? That he had a better sense of time/time management! He always thinks he can fit more into the time he has and ends up making himself/us late for stuff because once he starts something he wants to finish it. I can estimate much better than he can how long a project will take him!
Oh I so know the feeling! I refer to my DH as the "close sleeper". he's not comfy unless he's plastered to me which can get sorta gross! It isn't my first choice but we've made due. Sometimes I just shove when I've had enough.
It's not the closeness I have a problem with, it's the fact that he wants me to sleep on my right side all night because that's the most comfortable way for us to snuggle. Unfortunately, this is not the most comfortable way for me to sleep all night...

What is one thing you wish you could change about yourself?
Only one thing about myself lol. Ok I am stuck between....well hum-ph. UM.....The biggest thing bothering me right now is my weight. But I know I wish I was a better cook and well lol....I could go on and on. I guess I wish I had more energy and could survive on less sleep so I could accomplish more in my life. Without 8 hours sleep I am a zombie!
About DH?
I wish he was more interested in eating healthy/exercusing. This man LOVES peeps and junk food......
I am vegetarian and it is so hard for me to cook dishes because a lot of vegetarian dishes have cheese in them and he wont eat it. It is sooo frustrating!!! He hates cheese because when he was a child, his evil stepmother force fed him cottage cheese because he was the only son in the family that was from the "other" woman before her. I feel so bad for him lol I try to get him to try it because its been like 20 yrs, but he still freaks out
My Blog!
ME: I wish I had better skin. I don't know what it's like to have perfectly clear skin. I have tried so many different things and I still get stupid break outs.
THE Mr.: I wish he was more motivated. He just has a "yeah, i'll get to it" attitude and sometimes it has to be down to dire straights before he actually will get to it.
Me: I wish I could verbalize the things that bother/stress me out. I'm not good at sharing my emotions and I know this is taking a toll on my health.
MH: I wish he would realize that the "perfect" job doesn't exist and that sometimes we just have to keep dealing with crap before the good things get to us.
ME: I want to loose about 20 lbs, maybe more. - Working on it.
I'd love to be more outgoing but as hard as I try, it doesn't feel right.
I also wish I was more decisive.
DH: I wish he'd be more punctual, be cleaner, and get a more 'adult' job.
Ugh, can you say traumatising! Poor thing. I would totally let him off the hook. Good luck coming up with some recipes!
I'm late but...
For me: insecurities and anxiety. I've come a long way with this but it can still be a really big challenge at times.
For DH: follow through on things around the house that he tells me he's going to do (example: said he'd hang my spice rack when we moved into our new house in Feb -- the rack is still leaning against the wall and the spices are still in a box on the kitchen table).
