Re: confession session & good thoughts tuesday
Confession: While I enjoy not having a 70-mile daily commute, this work-from-home thing is starting to get old. I've actually had enough of sitting on my bed in PJs with my laptop.
Good thoughts: to everyone who's out on the roads today. It is nasty in the Providence area.
Running on the Rhode
I hate you very much
good thoughts to my family as we deal with my grandfather's quickly declining health and lots of wonderful thoughts to all the new nestie babies!!!!
confession: i'm sad & i feel really guilty that i'm not at the hospital with my grandfather, but liza is sick and i can't bring her to see him with her little virus (not that i want her in a hospital anyway, but i'd make an exception today).
(((giant siiigh)))
confession: i miss being prego and kinda wish af would come visit si i could work on that
Confession: Tomorrow is DD's first birthday, and we haven't even gotten her a present (and not a card either). What is wrong with me?! I know she's only one and won't even know the difference... but I haven't even thought about it until the last few days.
Good thoughts: to my online friend's 2 year old daughter, Abby, who was diagnosed with a rare and quick-moving form of cancer. good thoughts that she get the miracle that she deserves, and that her mom, dad, and baby sister get through this difficult time.
Good thoughts: to my aunt who is in the hospital again
please, a miracle here too?
Good thoughts: to my coworker who is starting a new chemo treatment because he got the worst ever bone marrow biopsy results last week. he could use a miracle too, is that too much to ask for?
Cancer, YOU SUCK and I hate you!
Good thoughts to all of my nestie friends who need them! how about some job vibes for Michele and Joanna? And maybe throw them over to my DH too.
thanks kristen
i could definitely use some job vibes. still getting the runaround from unemployment and feeling pretty defeated after three months of almost full-time job hunting. *sigh*
job vibes to michele & kmm's hub, i know they are as sick of this crap as i am!
tons of good thoughts and *GO AWAY CANCER* vibes to kristen's aunt, co-worker, and abby
good thoughts to everyone who needs them
confession: i am so glad to not be in nyc at the moment. they are getting more snow and the city is not fun, pretty, or even remotely pleasant once the snow turns to muddy, gray sludge/slush (which is almost as soon as it hits the ground)
Confession: My mother just put a huge damper on my plans to PT Shannon starting tomorrow. But she made a very valid point. If we happen to lose power, we'll lose heat... not the best idea to have my little girl wearing just underwear in that situation. So, we're holding tight until sometime next week now. Bummer. I was actually looking forward to it. Now to make sure I have enough diapers on hand to get through the next week.
Good Thoughts: to all who need them.
Good thoughts: To my old friend Lori's baby girl Sophia (a/k/a Sophie) - sending you all healing thoughts baby girl. Your mommy & daddy want nothing more than for you to wake up so they can see your beautiful eyes and hear you cry. You are in my thoughts all day and night.
Good thoughts:
To Karen for your living situation (hehe);
Sarah for your grandfather and your family (and that liza feels better);
Kristen for your aunt, your friend's daughter Abby, that cancer can go f*ck itself;
Job vibes for me, cheeky, and Kristen's husband
Alicia for potty training time
Good thoughts: just a few for me if possible. Ultrasound at 4pm today to rule in/out womanly issues/ovarian cyst. If negative/clear, then I have to do a CT scan w/ contrast which will mean no BFing for a day or two... nightmare all around.
Good thoughts: for all of you who need them for health, jobs, family, whatever it may be.
Confession: I'm scared to death of this pain in my abdomen. Cyst? Appendix? Something else? Ugh. Not enjoying this at all. Not allowing myself to google it at all either.

Good thoughts: for my MOM who is having her angiogram today to find out if she has a blockage in her heart. Please God let her be ok.
Confession: I seriously fvcking hate snow. One of my facebook friends made a snarky comment last week about people complaining about the snow in their statuses and said to move elsewhere if you don't like this weather. Been there, done that, willingly moved back and weather had zero to do with my decision to do so. I hated snow before moving to Texas, I hate it now. And I REALLY hate it today, because it is going to prevent my parents from coming to visit after my Mom's appointment, and that upsets me because visiting their grandson always lifts her spirits and I know she could really use that today. /vent
I know i'm not on much but i'll participate today...
Good thought: To EVERYONE...job vibes, all the new babies, ann the new expecting Mom's (WOW...i've missed ALOT!!). We all deserve to be healthy, happy and employed
Confession: Here it goes. I desperately want another baby. Just one more. Chris and I have been trying for just over a year and a half now to get pregnant...no luck. I was on Clomid for 6 months...not only did it not work but it made me crazy. Horrible experience. The worst part is Chris' insurance barely covers anything, and 0% of anything fertility related. So really, there isn;t anything else we can do if I don't get pregnant on my own. I am incessantly thinking negatively about not being able to have another baby. It's really depressing me, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Wow, I needed to get that off my chest. Thank, ladies
Confession: Not to sound like a broken record, but I'm really sick & tired of all this fvckin' snow!!! This is supposed to be our slow time of year with the business; we should be able to spend more time with DH b/c in just a few short months we'll be crazy again. DH is busier than normal b/c he's working on a new store. Now that it's been snowing, he's been plowing on top of all of this!! He borrows his dad's plow and cleans up our lots. FYI: we also have a company that is contracted to plow for us. I don't even know what time he left the house this morning, and right now it's looking like he won't be home before 7 tonight. ARGHHHHH! I'm seriously considering breaking the plow tonight. I HATE THE SNOW!!
Good thoughts: To Cheeky on finding a job, Sarah's grandfather, and all others who need them
confession: I hate the WW commercial with Jennifer Hudson singing. The song makes me want to rip my hair out. I also watch entirely too much tv these days. We can again thank the snow and being stuck inside for that.
Good thoughts to all who need them!
Confession- I went to the DR. again today because of my ear and she was concerned that something should have happened by now. So she sent me over to an ENT right away. I get there wait an hour for Him to tell me it is really bad but they wont do anything until it has been like this for 5-6 weeks and it has only been 3! I want to cry, I can't hear out of the right ear and the pain is in my neck. Behind my ear is swollen and the infection will not go away. All he told me was to finish the antibiotic and come back in 3 week. O and gave me yet another steroid, to see if that help any.
Confession- I have been on 4 antibiotics and now 2 sets of steroids in the last 5 weeks. I have gained 10-12 from this darn meds and I should be doing some exercising to loose it but I'm in too much pain. I need to be healthy so I can start feeling like me again!
Confession- I have no desire to teach myself math! I need to get motivated to get through my darn lab math.
confession: I swear to the lawd baby jeebus that K's Chuck talkin Dumptruck just said "I'm one fuckedup truck".
confession: I'm pretty sure I belong on hoarders. My updates on FB for ONE (SINGULAR) cupboard are nothing compared to what I just encountered in the closet/pantry.
good thoughts: to my Jeep AGAIN, to the people (twice now) that I have seen in a rollover during this storm and after the last one, to the new moms, soon to be moms, SHOULD BE moms, and moms.. those looking for jobs, Michele and her mom, ME that I don't lose my mind soon, Lesa and her elbow, JLT's DS, everyone's loved ones. A girl on my other message board that we are all waiting for some news on, she's going through more than any person ever deserves right now and just HAS got to pull through. I cry every time I think about her and I've never met her and have only had a few conversations with her through pm's. To all the sick kiddos, and just generally everyone.
OH and .. to DH that he doesn't have to stay overnight at work and he gets home safe since we only have 1 horrid in the snow vehicle.
