I feel really old today, not like achy or anything, but like omg I'm 37! How the he!! did that happen?
My dishydrosis on my hands super sucks right now & I'm thinking I could seriously remove those two fingers and be better off. I don't have an extreme case thankfully, but it still irritates the he!! out of me.
I'm mad at dh right now. He's all trying to be nice to me and make up for screwing up, and I'm all about "I don't like you right now".
Two weeks and two days until R is home again. While I'm so excited to see him, I am not looking forward to all the deprogramming I'm going to have to do to try to get him back to normal after being with d-bag for 7 weeks. I feel bad for him because I can only imagine how many times he'll be sent to the stairwell or to his room.

I really really like my boobs, this is a first since 2008 when they were first hacked.
One of the ScarProject girls is in hospice, she's 25. I wish I could go visit her but she's in Cali. It makes me feel so guilty/blessed all at the same time and I'm sure H/everyone is tired of hearing about it but I got SO SO lucky and that is a reminder.
My face is breaking out I can't want to get into the dermo next week, no doubt in my mind it's all the effing meds I've been on.
Despite all the medical bills, I feel like we're stable and getting ahead more then we ever have. I like that we cut out cable and lowered almost all of our monthly bills. I think this is my calm before the shiiit storm of pending claims start going through but I know it'll all work out and be okay.
My pants are totally soaked from the rain, thankfully I tied a wally world sack around my hair to keep it curled but I feel gross with wet pants.
I'm so sick of not being able to sleep. I'm up at least 4x per night and it takes me forever to fall back asleep. I get sooo tired throughout the day and all I want to do is sleep, but no matter what time I go to bed, it's the same thing every night! It makes me nervous to have children because I know I'll be up all night with them.
DH and I are in the process of house hunting and while I'm very excited about buying our first home, I just want the whole thing to be over and done with. Finding "the house" is much harder than I thought it would be. I know when we are in our house it will all have been worth it.
Today is Thursday. I woke up and thought it was Friday. Sad!
One more day till step kids leave, holla!! Was that mean? Oh well.....
I really really really want to go to Zac Brown Band tonight. I finally decided just to buy the tickets, and now the 4-packs are gone!! GRRRRR...we'll see.
I downloaded the new Lion on my Macbook last night, and it was kind of pathetic how excited I was..I'm a dork.
This has been my first week back to work since Jack was born, and while I do fine during the day, I've bawled everynight when we get home because I miss him so much. He does great at daycare and I love the gal that watches him, but it bothers me that he comes home smelling like her house - even though I really like how her house smells....
I hate pumping. HATE HATE HATE it. But I'll do it for as long as I can because I'm scared at how much we'd have to spend if we went to formula.
I think it was rather funny when DH watched Jack on Monday afternoon and was absolutely spent by the time I got home. Yeah - that's what I just did for the last 3 months, except it was ALL day - every day.
Although I'm within 5 lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight, I feel like NONE of my clothes from last summer fit anymore. I want to go on a crazy shopping spree and get some new stuff, but I'm too scared that I'm going to be bummed about how everything fits differently now and won't find anything I like.
My neuro meds were changed on Monday and I seriously feel like a walking zombie. They say that it should all even out within a few weeks, but this is odd. I'm super tired, pukey, dizzy and kind of feel like I'm watching my life on TV (if that even makes any sense).
I was so happy when I walked outside this morning and it was cooler! The heat has been really hard on our animals and I know a few people who have lost horses to the heat. They are livestock, but I'm pretty attached to a few of them.
I'm working on a job based in Hawaii and they expect me to "work late" with them. People, I'm already working late when I work until 5:00 your time! There is a freaking 5 hour difference. Because of this fact, I think that I will probably be working the entire weekend.
I'm ready for fall. I LOVE spring and fall so I always hope that we have each season every year. I don't like the years when we go from hot to cold.
I know exactly how you feel. It does get easier. The first 3 months were rough, but now I don't even think about it and it's just routine. Hang in there!
M starts daycare August 1st so we went and visited again yesterday. While I still hate that he has to go I feel MUCH better about it. Last time I went all the kids were more towards the 18 months age which seemed so much bigger than him, but now they have moved on and they are all about M's age.
My sister bought a new car yesterday and someone vandalized it last night. I feel bad, but then again I think maybe it has to do with the drama-filled crowd she hangs with.
I want to start going to church again - DH does not and it's not even up for discussion with him which really irritates me.
The last few days Owen has just been a pill. I tell him his ears aren't working because I have to tell him things over and over. I'm seriously thinking about cutting out the red 40, etc. in his diet to see if it changes anything.
I mowed the lawn last night and didn't even start until about 8:30. Owen followed me with his mower like usual and the baby was in her jumperoo. Yeah, bad mom. I really needed to get it done before today because it was so long and I needed to bag it and have the trash pick it up today. And I also put it in garbage sacks. Flame away, I don't care. I didn't have anymore lawn bags
.
Every time I go to put DD in her carseat it bugs the hell out of me when Owen (most of the time it's him) has pulled the straps so tight that i need to loosen them to get her arms in. I always get her out by pushing the button and pulling the straps super loose. That way it's easier to get her back in, buckle and retighten them. Why doesn't everyone do this?
We are really hoping to be able to move next spring/summer. I feel like i'm trying to get a bunch of things done to the house while DH is gone in order for this to happen. Most of it is actually just minor, like finally hanging horizontal blinds on the kitchen window above the sink. Now that it's all happening, i can't believe i didn't do it sooner and kindof like our house again. well, only a little. Still ready to move!
It makes me sick that when i go fill up the truck it's darn near $100. I'm used to driving the car which is $50 or so. DH would tell me that's what the truck cost but when i'm actually the one doing it, it hurts! And we've been to columbus three times and lincoln once in the past 4 weeks and still have more traveling to do.
I bought a room at the Hilton. As in, they are remodeling so selling off "rooms" (all the furniture). They went for suuuuper cheap and i'm excited to get some things i can use (mirrors, lamps, marble end tables, etc) for practically nothing. This was not open to the public, i had connections
Whatever I don't need/use, i'll sell and basically make this whole deal a money maker. Woop!
YES! I couldn't really put my finger on it, but this is it! I really like our dc lady, but I am so happy when it's time to pick C up.
When I picked him up yesterday, he had a half-circle shaped scratch above his eye near his hairline. I had to ask her about it, she didn't volunteer any info. She said that he got 1 hand out of his swaddleme during his nap "and must have scratched himself" ... I am a bit skeptical as this has yet to happen and I keep his nails really short. I think that one of the other kids may have accidentally scratched him? Who knows, but dc lady, I've got my eye on you!
I hate when people water their lawns A. when it's raining (i get that you may not be home to shut it off, but it still bugs me!) and B. during the hottest part of the day when it's crazy hot.
We are baptising C on Sunday and have invited some family & friends. I asked for RSVPs on the invites so that I can plan for food and I have only gotten them from 5 of the 14 invites that were sent.
I need a new job. I didn't get the one that I applied for and really wanted since they only hired people from in-house. Boo.
I got a Kindle last week and it's great to be reading again.
H and I got back from a vacation on Sunday and I'm already thinking about our next one. I love traveling with H.
I have baby fever bad right now.
This summer is going by too fast but I'm excited for fall and football.
TTC #1 since 08/11 IUI#2 = BFP!
I watched it on the internet today...it's kinda cute, in a corny sort of way. lol
