Confessions
Re: Confessions
I confess that sometimes I get drunk and think having a baby RIGHT NOW is a good idea. Yes, I AM aware that there are so many things wrong with that sentence!
Also, a friend of mine told me about an awesome job opportunity at one of the area colleges that I'm perfectly qualified for. I applied and she's going to email her contact there recommending me...my confession is that I'm WAY too confident about it, like I feel like there's no way I CAN'T get it...and I know this will bite me in the ass.
And not so much a confession, but I guess I yelled at H in my sleep last night! I was saying something about forgetting to set my alarm and he asked me if I wanted him to do it and I yelled at him that he HAD to or something. I feel so bad! It's definitely a byproduct of 70 hour work week exhaustion, and he understands...but still!

EDD October 10, 2013
haha, I don't think this board has done much of anything in a while haha.
I confess that watching shows like teen mom actually make me want to have a baby.
Shouldn't they do the opposite? Maybe it's because I want to swoop in and save some of the babies.
I confess that I'm feeling a little guilty that we booked our cruise because I coach swimming, and I'll be missing that whole week of practice. I justify it by saying that the head coach already told me that he will really need my help this season because of his grad school load, and since he wont have grad school then, he will owe me the "time off"
I confess that I'm freaking scared to *** about my new school. scared. to. ***.
I confess that I haven't been falling asleep until 1 or later the past few nights because this farm house is creepy, and DH isn't here. I keep thinking that I'm hearing noises like singing/music and footsteps. ughh.
I confess that I know my friend is pregnant. She's getting married in October, they found out she was pregnant the week he proposed, so they were already going to get married, and instead of planning the wedding in a year and three months..they're going with three months. I guess it crossed my mind, but then my other friend told me (we're both not supposed to know), and I'm really excited for her..but I can't say anything!
I confess that I was really aggrivated at said friend because I was shopping her registery for her shower last night, and everything was $40 plus. I always like to have at least two gifts, unless its something really nice, so it was hard to figure it out. ONE place setting for dishes was $48..is this normal? A set of 4 place settings of ours was about the same.
I confess that I am dreading going back to school on Monday because it means I'll have to get off of my lazy bum and actually do work again. I reeeeeally don't want to get up at 5:30.
I confess that all I want to think about lately is the future. I still have 2-3 years of school left and I'm starting to panic about selling our house and where we're going to move. I need to chill the f out!
I confess that I wish my H would initiate secksy time more. I was away for 8 days...you would think he would be all over me.
I confess that I am having serious doubts about being able to run a half marathon.
I confess that my best friend and Dave's best friend are dating long distance (they met at our wedding...he lives in FL and she lives in MD). I love the relationship and they are so perfect for each other, but he wants to propose by the end of the year and get married next July and I think it's too fast. I'm afraid they're rushing because she won't move until they're married and they really want to be together. I'm trying to talk her into moving to FL after they get engaged and having a longer engagement, but she won't hear of it.
I confess that I think Ashley can do the half marathon...
...you have a great drive!
...just remeber.. you can always walk some of it!
I also confess that I haven't run in about 3 weeks...I should get back on that..
I confess that I just realized I forgot to come tell you ladies about my BFP last week, and am feeling very bad about that....
I confess that I might be milking the exhaustion symptom of this pregnancy just a little bit with C. Reallly, not a whole lot, but enough.
I also confess that I am glad TB is there, not because the information or people are helpful, but because they are helping me realize how awesome my marriage is and how healthy and easy my pregnancy is, so far (knocks on wood).
And one more, I confess that I am struggling to write the toast for the wedding I am in a few weeks from now, b/c I not only greatly dislike my friend's FI, but am not very happy with her for her clinginess the week I will be there prior to the wedding. Yes, I am excited to see her, but I would much rather stay at her parents' house at night where I could have a real bed to sleep in than to crash on the couch at her place while 8 wks pregnant and sleeping 10+hrs a day.
congrats!!!! lots of babies around here!
Thanks! D keeps telling me that I can do it, it just seems like it's such a lofty goal lol.

Great confessions ladies!
Sandra - Haha! I know how that goes...I do the same thing in winter lol
StarJay - Congrats again on the pregnancy! When are you due?
I confess that I have serious baby fever lately...especially now that it would be possible for me to take time off b/c of H's new job.
I confess that even though we resigned our lease I would be perfectly happy breaking it (they just need 60 day notice) so we can move into someplace nicer and bigger...we have way too much stuff for our space.
Hey ladies, thanks for the warm wishes.
We are tenatively due April 9th, 10th, or 11th, depending on which online calculator I use. lol For now we are sticking with the 10th and will see what the doc has to say in a few weeks.
Congrats on the pregnancy StarJay!
I confess that a few weeks ago when I was visiting my dad I called DH and told him I wanted to have a baby right away (after we had just decided we were going to wait a couple years). In reality, the only reason I wanted to start trying now was because I was pissed off that my dad doesn't really treat my DH as family and it seems like he won't treat me like a grown up until I we have a child. Yeah, I know... top ten worst reasons EVER to have a baby. I got over that desire pretty quickly.
I confess that I still don't have a job but I went out and bought a whole bunch of clothes yesterday with the excuse that Illinois was giving a 5% tax break on school supplies and clothing.
I confess that I'm scared as hell to actually get a job, and I'm kind of glad I'll be going back to school this year to get my special ed approval because I am hoping it will make me more prepared for when I finally do start teaching full time.
I confess that I waited until two days before the application deadline to apply for school, and now I'm worried that there's a chance I won't get into the class I need to take this fall.
Whew!

Have you had a classroom of your own before?
I don't know if there is any amount of preparation that can make you feel prepared haha...even going into this year, I'm scared as hell, almost as if this past year didn't exist! haha
Nope, I've just subbed and taught after school programs. I realize I'll never truly feel prepared, but I have to believe that having some sort of formal training in special education will help. And now that I've subbed for a year and had small experiences with a wide range of challenges, I have a MUCH better concept of what questions to ask my professors as I go along. For example, what the hell am I supposed to do if one of my 28 kids takes off down the street at the end of recess?
I'm sure that your new school will be awesome and you will be even awesomer in it. Once you get settled in, you'll be able to build on your experiences from last year and you'll do a great job.
