Confessions
The sex after baby post makes me a teeeeennnny bit happy that I don't have a baby.
I played hookie from work yesterday. Not sick at all. Just lazy. Everyone can stop asking me if I'm feeling better now.
I used my kitchenaid to make instant chocolate pudding. I feel really wrong about that.
Re: Confessions
If I don't get this research job, I'm going to apply to the manager's position for my team. Which if I get, would allow me to supervise my current supervisor.
I didn't care about the superbowl until I heard that there is a commerical with a shirt-less David Beckham. Now I want to watch.
Guy is super whiny today because he has a tooth that's been hurting him. He went to the dentist and they said it's broken off and needs to come out. And he's all woe is me about it and I have no sympathy for him because I've had two extractions and a root canal over the past year. So I really just want to kick him.
I'm pretty sure my new job is going to have a lot more downtime than the old one. I'm not 100% sure what to do with that.
We did our taxes last night and the only reason we don't owe a massive amount of money is because I withheld an insane % of my bonus last year. Obviously this is better than owing, but between that % I already paid and my student loan deduction, I'm shouldering the bulk of the tax burden in our relationship. It is a stupid thing to be annoyed about so I'm not saying anything, but I was a little
when DH asked me why I thought I was going to spend the vast majority of the small return on a new vacuum.
Secondly, he broke the vacuum's hose attachment while I was on girl's weekend in August so we just haven't vacuumed the stairs in the new house. Ever. That's super gross, and I want to remedy it immediately. Excuse the hell out of me!
Stand up for something you believe in.
I don't get how so many people have "surprise" or "accidental" pregnancies.
If I see one more job position looking for a person with ridiculously multi-skilled abilities, (i.e. experience and training in 2+ completely unrelated fields), I'm going to throw my computer out the window.
agreed, but apply anyway if you have 1 of the qualifications. I think people set these uber insane qualifications to keep the seriosuly underqualified out. The job I interviewed for 2 weeks ago was this way - required licensure and 2+ years in research. This human being does not exist. I applied anyway, got the interview. So don't let that scare you off.
I ignored my mom calling this morning. I got stuck on the phone with her for 2 hours yesterday helping her insert pictures into a word document. She's horrible with computers so we only got through 3 pictures in that time.
I felt bad no answering but I don't have 2 hours to sit on the phone while I'm trying to take care of Charlie!
I figured if it was important she would've called back or left a message.
I had big plans to enjoy the nice weather and go for a walk/jog. Instead, I got my period and took a nap. I feel awful. I'm having a beer for dinner because food doesn't sound good.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
I'm starting to get really frustrated with Danny about this whole house hunt thing.
He wants to move like a fat kid wants chocolate cake. I'm not happy here, but it doesn't bother me either. I know this is our "starter" home and I'm comfortable with that. I'd rather not have a baby at this place (A. because I have no room for a nursery & B. I don't want to have to move a baby to a new house). Danny absolutely hates this place and has no trouble telling me this. It kinda pisses me off because, even though I know we weren't going to be here forever, I've grown attached to this house. And it hurts me that he hates the house where we've made our home for the last 3 years.
He wants out so bad, I'm afraid he will just settle for another house to get out of here. I'd rather wait a year, save some more money, and have to move a baby if it means a house that I would feel comfortable calling my forever home. I hate that even though we are in a LCOL area, it's full of people who think that their houses are worth more than they really are.
This sucks.
Haha. Were you talking about my post?
And when it happens for you, DD, and it will, I'm sure things will be fine afterwards. I'm just an unlucky case.
