Whats on your mind?
Ive got a lot on my mind
- Im over layers. I want my hair one length
- I want to be "into" greek yogurt but its gross.
-My cousin is getting divorced and shes my age, she and her husband have been married 2 yrs and Im just so sad for her.
- I saw buckswife at the movies on Friday night, and her mom. I was so surprised! When I got back to my seat my friend asked "who was that?" and I said Oh a friend from a message board, and she said " Oh the nest?" HAHA if you talk about it with your friends, its a big part of your life.
-I cannot wait for my girl scout cookies
-23 days until I go to Texas
-I have always wanted to ask my mom if she seriously thought she was a good mother, because she wasnt.
So whats on your mind?

Re: Whats on your mind?
- I'm sore. I did week 2 of the Ripped in 30 last night and I'm so tired and sore.
- I have officially reached another level of "baby crazy" and have started unfriending acquaintances on Facebook that announce pregnancy. I don't want to see their announcements/pictures. I'm fine with friends and happy for them, but not random people.
- That My Strange Addiction show on TLC has me intrigued from the clip about the man that acts like a baby. I have no idea why one would want to watch that, but I kind of do. Train wreck that you can't look away from syndrome
- My 30th bday is in 4 months. I know we're doing something, but not sure what. I am debating making H tell me b/c I'm really not good with surprises, but I know I'll be disappointed if I do
- Airlines suck. They just changed our return flight from Key West so we get back 2 hours later. How the heck can they just change a flight that you already booked and paid a lot for??? Annoying.
- some days more than others i want to be back on the pill. i'm discouraged with how uneasy getting pregnant is and it hasn't even been a year.
- some days i am so bummed that we haven't gotten pregnant yet
- just can't wait to be done being an intern. working for free sucks, plus my supervisor there is a biatch that loves to talk smack about EVERYONE
- my boss is being laid off and the VP is annoucing it today during our staff meeting. i think my coworkers and i will all need a stiff one after the meeting. it will not be pleasant and we are all really really really ANGRY, PISSED AND SO SAD about it.
- i can't remember the last time H and I had sex. sometimes i feel bad about this and sometimes i don't. sigh.. it's def been over a month.
It is getting hard to stay motivated in working out when I keep yo-yo-ing within a 5lb span. I naively assumed that since I was going from almost no activity to most-day workouts that it would make an immediate impact in my weight. If I could just start to see some lower weights I'd be happy. I REALLY want to hit that 10lb lost goal so that I can get the new freaking earbuds.
I really want a change of scenery and would like to visit my mom since she's not working and is still recovering from her hysterectomy. But she'll want me to stay at her house and I don't want to reek of smoke or really be around my step-dad. It would only be for a few days so I guess I'll have to deal.
I know we won't get pregnant this cycle since we went the week of my assumed fertility with no sex since H was working nights the whole time. I'm not getting down since the plan is still in place.
My Profile
Dude, YES. I feel the same. When I joined the gym in November I went from not working out AT ALL, and basically leading a very sedentary lifestyle to working out five days a week. After a month, there was no change. Then Christmas came around and I GAINED. Now after two months of sporadic workouts and trying to watch my diet I've lost a whole three pounds of the five I gained. WTF. I blame breastfeeding, Mirena, and my antidepressants. LOL Like how I blame it all on something else and it's never me or the horrible amounts of sweets I eat? Yeah...
In other news...
- Gabby is still on the wait list for the school we want to enroll her in this August. She's #4. Ugh. There were too many applicants so they had to have a lottery drawing. If she doesn't get accepted this year we will apply again next year but probably wont enroll her in any pre-k 3 program since I'll be home with Genna anyway. We really want the girls to go to this school, and we honestly don't have a backup. It's French immersion and there isn't another affordable (and acceptable to us) alternative locally. Blah. The program director assured us that #4 isn't bad and that more than likely she will get in (and in turn, Genna will automatically be accepted when she turns three as well), but it's still furstrating not knowing right now.
- I am working again. Tonight is my third night. Only one day last week, two this week, and I'm only scheduled one or two other days this month. Ha! Well.. it's something, right?
- It's March ya'll! That means it's spring! OMG.I.AM.SO.HAPPY.I.LOVE.THE.SPRING.IT'S.SO.PRETTY.OUTSIDE!!@*!&#(*#^
Update: I just got on the scale and let's change that weight loss to 6 pounds. Woot!
I've started doing this too. Not in the mood for seeing people's sonos or yay us announcements. But in my world...
- I can't wait until my body starts to feel normal again. I'm still spotting and cramping. I saw my OB yesterday, and he said everything looks fine up there, but to expect another week of this.He also said the IUD is likely what's making me cramp right now.
- I'm contemplating owning stock in Always. I've certainly used enough in the last 2 weeks. Also, don't EVER instruct your husband to buy you the heavy duty pads when you can't get out of bed. He WILL return with the super ultra maxi deluxe pads that are (no fricken joke) 14" long and 2" thick. On the plus side of those, you can cut them in half. On the down side, cutting them in half makes them leak.
- My birthday is in a few weeks and I've instructed J that I actually want him to do something for me this year. The last 6 months have been a shitshow, and I just want anything to acknowledge that it's a day of happy.
- I need to find a job. We don't know how long J's will be around. My mom tried to set me up with a kitchen job, but I'm so far from interested. Hopefully one of the jobs I actually want comes through. One is even in an office (everyone say ooooh)
- My MS is stable, and my neuro wants me on a specialized diet rather than meds right now. I'm so happy.. but it's definitely difficult.. and at times amusing (like when your beet intake turns your poo bright red)
- We're hoping our job situations will be stable enough to travel a bit this summer. We're already set to go to the weekend long festival we went to last summer (it's free for us anyway) but we'd love to take a road trip if we're able.
here are my thoughts from the last week...careful, it's been a dozey!:
-after being told that i quite possibly won't be well enough in the next 10-15 years to have more children, i've fallen into a pretty severe depression and can't seem to get out of it. i nearly had a mental breakdown after my last kidney appt because i've reached "acceptable" levels in kidney function just through medication therapy that my doc said i'm too stable for a transplant right now, but too sick to get pregnant. and, that i could life this way for the next 10-15 year potentialls. who knows. i literally feel like i imagined how sick i was 4 months ago. i nearly died and now my doctor is all "you're a miracle patient! yay!" i'm devasted about the no baby news. it really hurts my heart. (and yes, i know i should be thankful about B and sometimes people cant' have even one child, but i'm not in that place yet)
-after my doc appt, H and i decided that I should file unemployment instead of disability bc it's not such a slam dunk anymore since i've gotten better (even thogh my doc thinks i shouldnt be working). we can't afford to go much longer without any income and mentally, i am not in a good place to go back to full time work. i know that may sound silly, but it's the truth.
-after filing said unemployment claim, i received a notification that my social security number doesn't match my last name on file. perfect. i need to submit my ss card, which of course I can't find because I put it in a "safe" place when I moved. seriously?! i've turned my house upside down and I can't find it. i want to scream
-i seriously feel like the world is out to get me. i cry everyday and i can seem to find anything that makes me happy or that I look forward to. I know i'm depressed and I know how to think rationally...i just cant make myself.
-i hate my dog. seriously, he is a pain in the asss. he cries for water and then i give him some and he drinks until he throws up. i'm not sure why this started or waht the F is going on, but he is on my last nerve. he's old and i know i should have empathy for him, i just don't. he's a total nusiance right now. sorry to the pet people but i speak truth.
