The State of the Niners
So, what's going on?
I feel like everyone's going every which way these days with new jobs, new babies, school, LIFE! So let's reconnect!
Tells us something, everything, anything, about what's going on with you, be it good, bad, awesome, whatever!
Let's have a proverbial cup of coffee and catch up! 
Re: The State of the Niners
I took a new job/ transferred companies. Right in the busiest season for the new place. I've been kind of drowning in work for the last month, but my new boss promised that would stop soon.
Personal life is fine. Baby ish sucks. Feel sorry for my friend, am going to see her at the end of the month.
Other than that, not too much is going on.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Work is going great. I have been able to do more marking things outside of the building (expo's, bridal fair, etc) and I LOVE it!!
We decided to not take any vacations this year and instead work on house stuff. Cleaning out the entire basement, finish painting the trim, re-caulk the tub, and talk about putting up a deck in the backyard.
We are pretty sure we are going to start trying for a baby in the near future. Not sure when it will happen, but again we need to get a lot of things done around the house before it happens.
Long story short: Layla is living at my MILs house while we have my parents beagle. My parents had to move in with my grandfather this past fall and he was worried that he would trip over him if no one was home and get hurt. So MIL said it was no problem to let Layla stay there until the beagle could live with my parents (basicly when my grandfather passes). Well now she is super attached to Layla because she had to put down her dog. Jon and I agreed to let her keep Layla since she lives alone and it is nice for her to have another dog around since the boys are never home. She loves Layla more than anything and I know we made the right choice to let her stay with MIL.
Work is work for me; pretty much consistently worried about the county budget and possibly loosing my job but I'll take the paycheck while I can for as long as I can. Jay, on the other hand, should *fingers crossed* have an interview for a design/coding project with Groupon in the next week or so. This would be huge for him and for us so I'm really hoping something comes of it.
It's still in the works to buy my parent's house from them this summer. We're going to have to pay of a judgment and some other monies owed in order to get those hits off of Jay's credit report. This makes me want to kill him since these things are a problem mainly because he ignored them for so long just hoping they'd go away. Our down payment money is going to take a hit but it'll be worth it for these things to be gone; and it's not like the house is going anywhere.
Depending on how things go with the money payoff situation we're trying to plan a trip to Italy for the fall. I told Jay I would not even consider trying to have a baby until he quit smoking, we had a house and we had gone to Italy. He quit smoking, the house in the works but basically done and that leaves Italy. I don't think I can hold him off much longer than fall and I'm really at the point where I don't want to wait too much longer to start trying either. But Italy must happen; anyone who's been I'm up for recommendations!
The only other big thing in our life right now has been our healthy lifestyle change. I'm 8 weeks into a regular workout routine, 2 weeks into working out 5X/week and down 26lbs (hooray for getting to indulge in my first incentive...new nail polishes). Jay's been working out regularly as well, doing C25K and working on his upper body and core; he lost about 24lbs in his first month but boys are azzholes like that and I try not to focus on it. We've been doing pretty well with eating a lot better and avoiding junk (aside from this weekend where we consumed insane amounts of fondue and alcohol, but I still managed to lose a pound!)
Started new job like 2 weeks ago. Still at the mercy of my kind of unorganized boss, looking forward to getting to a point where I can work independently. But everyone is SO nice (including unorganized boss, she rocks), and I feel like it's such a healthy environment.
Catering is going well, got a few jobs on the horizons for the next month. I really need to do some brainstorming and networking/marketing - start getting myself out there some more. Any ideas for how to do this?
Things at home are good - H just got a promotion within the same company - is not doing outside sales for the company, which means lots of lunches and schmoozing with customers, whcih means he makes his own schedule now and isn't bound to the office. We'll get a vehicle allowance for his truck now, so woot for that! He also got a pretty substantial bonus this year, so that really helped us pay down the CC.
We're really focusing on getting rid of some debt. There's some work we still want to do to the house and some trips we want to take and we can't justify it until we get some debt under control. But with H's bonus, our coming tax return, and my one SL being in forbearance, I feel like this is very do-able. My goal is to be done with CC debt and our little SLs by the end of the year (approx $8K)
And in exciting news, my mom, sister, and cousin-in-law are coming to Denver next Monday!!! And since my sister and her H just sold their house, my cousin-in-law just got a new job, and *finally* started O-ing (they've been TTC for around 9months, she's been on Clomid for like 3 and didn't O until last week), so I feel like we have a LOT to celebrate and catch up on!
Life is... well life.
looking for a new job- not that I don't like mine- but I am sure you have all heard about how many opportunities I have been passed on - now even more thinking its my boss and her need to make me feel the pain she did as a woman in the grocery business. It sucks, but oh well. Two interviews are coming up- had one last week and keeping my fingers crossed.
Workouts are picking back up- they are hard, but nothing too crazy. low blood sugar last night killed my great workout but I picked it back up and got the most out of it. I am joining weight watchers today... we will see how this goes. I might need to pick everyone's brains for tips and pointers.
Weight and stress have me a little bit terrible in the sexy time with H. I am not feeling it - it doesn't help. Hopefully some items from Nooner will help pick this back up.
Other than that- its bonus week at work and none of us really want to do anything. Makes me want to just shop online and go to the mall. Its almost 80 here today- Charlotte is at the Zoo with the babysitter and I am debating on whether I want to join them at lunch (its 5 miles from my office). I will probably head to shop instead.
Other than that- nothing much.
We really don't have much new on our front.
Work is work, we have some small changes coming up. I'm moving to a 7-3 shift in May and while I'm not looking forward to the early mornings, I am looking forward to having so much time after work during the summer. DH is finally moving towards things he actually enjoys doing. He's been stuck for a little while and it was becoming frustrating.
We set a goal last month to have a lot of our debt paid down by Feb next year. Our main focus is our only credit card and I have 2 loans out on my 401k, and one will be paid fully next month. It will be nice to only have a student loan and mortgage on our credit after the others are paid.
Baby making is at a stand still until next Tuesday (unless things happen naturally this month).
I'm in the middle of planning DHs 30th birthday party for the end of June, I'm bummed all the big ideas I wanted to do are to expensive so we are just going to have a very large party at our house.
I think that's about it.
Personal: We're expecting baby number 2. EDD November 7th.
Work: my boss left at the end of February to start his new job. Things have been cra y and weird at work and I don't like it. I'm hoping it will get better as the dust settles and I feel more comfortable in my new position.
Alex is doing great and saying new words every day. He now will take 5-10 steps at a time but isn't fully walking yet.
Umm Christina...congrats!!!!
We are trying for baby # 2 but it took us awhile with Teaghan so who knows.
H is busy at work especially since it is tax time. We are trying to control our spending more so that we can buy a new house next year. If we are good with spending then we can put H's bonus towards a down payment, but we also need to sell our current house first, so probably by fall we will put it on the market.
I think I want to go back to teaching and have been looking for jobs like crazy but the teaching situation in NY sucks right now. Also if I do get pregnant than it will be put on the back burner till the kids are in school.
Work kicked my tail in January and February. Things are slowing down now, and I'm super super unmotivated. When's Spring Break?
Things at home are good. We're tiling the kitchen this summer! Already bought the tile, so no backing out (cough: Robin). We've got some trips planned, too. We're going to New Orleans for Spring Break, have 2 beach trips planned this summer, and I'm going to Texas for a girls' trip.
People at work keep telling me how skinny I look. I love them.
I had a good cry Friday morning, and now I'm back to a good place TTC-wise. It boils up in me and then I explode and then I'm back to normal. I do that with a lot of things. TTC just makes it happen every 3 to 4 months or so. Life is too good to be sittin round cryin.
The state of MB:
School is a lot harder than I remember, or maybe that's because I wasn't dealing with, you know, a 1.5 year old last time I went. I don't regret my decision, I just see myself falling back into my bad habits of the past, and I need to make a conscious effort to change that. So far so good, though I did slip a little this past weekend, and turned a paper in a day late. Luckily my professor will still accept it, but I was convince my 100% streak was going to end poorly... that was enough to snap me out of it, and now I've designated Thursdays as my get out of the house to get school work done-night, and luckily Chris agrees.
Speaking of Chris, we still haven't figured out who we will see for marriage counseling, but I am seeing a therapist again for myself, and I'm liking the experience a lot better than last time.
And Samma will be 18 months next week, which is eye-opening. And as happy as I am seeing everyone around me start on Baby#2, I am even happier currently being BNOTB while I focus on me... Spring 2014 is the endtime, so we'll see what happens at that point.
I'm still looking for a new job, but not as enthusiastically as I could or should be. I have a couple resumes out there, but no responses, which is pretty disheartening. But its not like I NEED a new job right now - I am content with having a paycheck, it's just working with my mother that is driving me to drink. I'm trying my hardest to zone out and focus on me, but it does become quite dificult.
And the biggest thing that has happened lately is I have patched up not one, but two lost friendships that I never thought I would have again, and it's been quite the experience. No one wants to live in the past, regardless of the effect it's had on us today, and we're all ready to move on and start anew. It's refreshing, to say the least.
updated 10.03.12
I don't post much lately because things have been really hectic, but I do lurk and keep caught up. Things are crazy for a few of you, and I miss you guys!
I finished the training program for my new job on March 1, so I'm officially a contractor working from home now. I like it, but I haven't really had a chance to get into a routine yet, so my work has been pretty sporadic and sparse. Hopefully that changes soon.
We moved to NC, although not to our final destination city yet. We're staying with his parents for a few weeks so he can put an NC address on applications and be closer for interviews. Hopefully on Friday or early next week we'll head out to Raleigh to sign a lease and what not.
Cycle 18 just started; got my period yesterday. We also found out that I'm a carrier for spinal muscular atrophy, but we haven't had a chance to get D tested yet. And last weekend his family was throwing babies at me left and right, and nobody understood why I needed to go outside for some me time for about an hour.
Lets see,
Personal stuff - sperm blahblahblah and other than that, the marriage is good, I'm pretty happy. I am failing miserably at losing 25 pounds but I'm still trying.
Work - I am loving working at home. I love having the windows of the office wide open and enjoying the warm breeze and getting dinner ready without scrambling as soon as I walk in the door and our house in general is cleaner and more relaxing.
We're starting to look at houses/putting ours up on the market but we have no idea how to do this. How much house we can afford kind of depends on how much we can get for this house. So do we put our house on the market and then possibly have to find an apartment and put our stuff in storage while we look for a house we love or do we find a house we love and then put our house on the market? We're just confused about the process I guess.
And, my sister's birthday is coming up and she's 99% sure her boyfriend is going to break up with her the day before. Her birthday gives me stress every year. I feel like something awful ALWAYS happens on or near her birthday and then I try extra hard to make it a good day for her and end up failing miserably. Her birthday is a lot of pressure.
I am...not in a great place right now, actually. 2012 can pretty much kiss it, and there's still 9 freakin months left.
As I've mentioned, my job clock is ticking down, fast now. I'm down to about a month. While I've been looking for a new job since September, I was taking it pretty slow at first because I knew I had time, so I sent a resume here and there and had maybe 10 out by the end of the year. Well, the last 2 months I have massively stepped it up, with 3-4 resumes going out almost every day. And still, not a single interview. I feel so unbelievably deflated right now. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I suppose it could be my resume, but I've had several people look at it who say its good and I re-write my cover letter for each job, and I'm specifically picking positions I have experience/education for. I was under no illusion that it was going to be easy to find a job, you know, I'm aware of the market right now...but not even a single interview from over 50 resumes, really?!
I started looking into a debt consolidation program, which is something I should have done a long time ago, but also a preemptive way to cut costs for since we'll be paying for daycare and possibly on a lower income. I was all excited to see I'd be debt free in less then 5years, making lower payments, etc. but was then told to wait until I find a new job to actually start the program. Makes sense, just sucks to be on hold.
Also on hold, baby#2, and only because we're "responsible". Or should I say, my H is. If it were all up to me, I'd have said *** it and we'd have been trying for months now. Flame away. I really really wanted our kids to be close in age, and the older I get, the more at risk I'll be, especially with the vbacc/c-sec. Now, who freakin knows when we can start trying, and how long it will take from there.
One more thing on hold is putting newt in daycare. We checked some out, picked the one we want, and I am so so excited to get her started. It will be so good for her to be around other kids all day, engaged all the time in activities and stuff, things that I can't really offer her right now. But that too is completely dependent on me getting a job. It would be incredibly tough to pay for it now, and impossible if I lose my income. In fact, it would really be ideal if the job I find pays quite a bit more than what I make now, to help make up for the cost...which is just added pressure in the job hunt.
I'm so sorry to unload this all here. I have, well pretty much no one to talk to. I'm pretty much crying every day. I feel like everything is falling apart and every time I think it can't get worse, one more thing gets added to the "this is why you're a loser" list. Not that I don't take responsibility for bad decisions, but it just feels like so much right now is completely out of my control. I feel like I work 3 jobs during the day (my current one, job hunting, and watching newt) and then on weekends, since my H is always working, I watch her by myself...so I literally get no time off. I'm just so frustrated, and tired, and while I know I'm still in a better situation that many people...it doesn't mean that the problems I'm facing in my life right now don't completely suck.
Nothing much has been going on with me. I'm 15 weeks now, and since 5 1/2 weeks I've been so sick. This whole week though I have been feeling SO much better and have even started nesting. The house is torn apart now, trying to get the extra bedroom cleared out.
For the most part everything is the same.
Personal- (I mentioned it above) but we're waiting to TTC #2 until october bc of my BFF's destination wedding. We'll be in Jamaica, the trip is bought and paid for and we do really want to enjoy it for we know we won't have funds to travel mug after #2 and hopefully #3 arrive.
Home- we're planning our addition still. We've been approved for our loan which is awesome and since interest rates are so low, it only is $100 more a month than we pay now which is crazy! I can't wait to do it but part of me just wants to move. I've been looking at houses but we can get so much more by doing just the addition.
Work- work is work. I love my nanny job. I'm sad though bc next year is my last year here. Then I'll be a SAHM which scares me bc I get nervous and I'm always thinking we can't afford it. I like teaching dance still but I'm kind of over it. But it's good money and gets kev and Nate a chance to hang. I have my first competition this weekend and I'm nervous. I haven't done the competition circuit by choice since I closed my studio so I'm a little anxious about the whole thing.
Anyways, that's all for me really. Kev and I are doing really well. His business has piled up quite some and he got a raise for the first time in years so that's awesome too!
:Blog:
My life is pretty much a mess right now. I'm working on trying to find balance between work and family, and I'm finding it really challenging.
Since coming back to work, I have ZERO "me time". Charlie is in bed by 8 and I'm generally not far behind. Yes, I'm that lame.
I'm being pushed into taking another Web Design class this summer, so I need to fit that in as well.
I need some life coaching, stat!
Thank you so much. I'm trying really hard to stay positive and I keep telling myself an awesome job is just around the corner.
If you want someone professional, there's a girl on my local who does it and a bunch of people have used her to rave reviews, I'd be happy to put you in contact.
Stand up for something you believe in.
Zane - I'm really sorry that you're having such a hard time right now. I really hope that perfect job comes along (preferably RIGHT NOW) and things start to improve.
Michelle - I PROMISE it gets easier. It really does.
The State of Ames:
Baby - can't believe it's less than two months until she turns 2. My baby, she is not a baby anymore. Last night, we watched some videos of her from when she was tiny, and she'd say "Baby?" and I'd say yes, that's you, Ellie, when you were a baby. And she'd say "Baby Ellie! Yay!"
Self - I never have any time to myself either, but it's been that way for a while now (since we work opposite schedules) and it's okay. I went off my AD's completely a couple of weeks ago and while I feel more clear, and more like myself, I do find that I have a short fuse these days. I'm hoping that will improve with time. I'm kind of half-ass trying to lose weight, eating better but I've yet to find an exercise routine that works with my schedule (and with Ellie's).
Home - Everything is good there. We're still watching our money. The plan after we get the cc's paid off is to start saving for a new car.
Work - Was slow over the winter months, but hopefully will pick back up. I really don't want to do commission-based work much longer because I really hate not knowing how much I'm going to get paid with any given month, but right now isn't really the ideal time to look for a new job, so I'll stick it out a while longer.
Me: I'm getting into an amazing workout routine for probably the first time in my life and I'm actually enjoying it. I do at least 2 Zumba classes a week and go running at least 3 times a week and then I mix some strength training in there as well. I'm trying to change my eating habits - and I've found that working out has helped tremendously. I find myself wanting to eat healthier so I don't "waste" the workout I've done.
I'm also working hard at trying to get rid of my CC debt. Somewhere along the lines it spiraled out of control. But I have a strategy and I'm working on it. So, I'll be happy when that's gone.
Personal/Home: One of my best friend's are planning a wedding for next July. Both Doug and I have asked to be in the wedding. So, we've decided to hold off any plans for a baby until after the wedding. Then again, we've changed our baby timeline about a million and 10 times already, so who knows if we're going to keep this plan. I'm okay either way.
Work: I'm still working in the scary, hostile environment I've been in the last couple of years. It's a tough place to work right now - but, I actually like my job. So, I'd rather not look somewhere else. Not to mention - I'd more than likely be taking a paycut for job security. There are yet more rumors of anotther layoff next month, and my boss doesn't think our department will survive this one. So, I think my days are numbered here.
I'm just hoping we'll be able to ride out this wave until the CEO retires and the new CEO can turn us around. If we can get back to where we were when I first joined the company - I think it can be a really great place to work. So, meanwhile, I guess I just sit in this hostile environment and hope for the best. Regardless, Doug and I sat down last night and constructed a plan if I do get laid off.
I'm enjoying this post!
Things here are good. Almost at the 11 week mark, and have my second OB appt tomorrow. We got to hear the heartbeat a couple of weeks ago, and that was so exciting. There is still a part of me that is nervous though. If everything is good tomorrow, we'll start telling more people, starting with our parents this weekend (they are going to be SO excited that they won't be able to keep their mouths shut, so we haven't wanted to tell them yet). Feeling pretty good, no m/s (knock on wood) but my flight to Florida last week was HORRID (first time ever using a barf bag on a plane; luckily I had a nice older couple next to me, and the husband was rubbing my back as I puked
)
Work is busy, but it always is. I'm also teaching an Introduction to Sociology class at a local college and loving it. I'd love to teach full time, but it is hard without a PhD (and I'm on the fence if/when I want to pursue that). Then today I found out about a full time faculty position at a nearby college, and just a masters is "good enough". But, the position would start in September, and having a baby in October would make that difficult. Not sure if I will just apply for the heck of it, just to see what happens.
Things with H are good. I find myself nagging him a bit more about little things (dude, clean up after yourself, once this baby comes, I ain't doing it), but maybe that is par for the course. He has been pretty stressed lately, but that comes with territory of owning your own business.
No vacations planned. Have to save my vacation time for the last 4 weeks of maternity leave (if I want 12 weeks total) so trying to focus on that.
I'll have to come back and read this whole thing later, but I wanted to add my 2 cents.
This WAS the plan: Start saving money and list our house on the market to hopefully get an offer over the summer so we can get a new house by the end of the year. DC vacation in June. Start TTC in July. Hopefully (if we are in God's good graces) have an EDD for sometime next summer so I don't have to take any unpaid leave.
This plan has now gone to schite. My car decided to keel over so I have to get a new car in the next 24 hrs. So, the idea of moving has been put on hold unless we can find a decent house that is the current price of our mortgage so we break even instead of upgrading.
Will still TTC this summer, but I have a feeling I may resent it a little (even though I'm finally ready to take that step) because I won't be able to nest like everyone else, as we don't have a room in our house that is able to function as a nursery (the main reason for our upgrade).
The job that I interviewed for at my old school is still up in the air. Right now is PSSA time and they are all worried about AYP. Plus they weren't sure to begin with whether they would hire immediately or just keep a full-time sub in the classroom until the end of the year. Hopefully they tell me that they won't need me to start until the beginning of next year. Then I won't have to worry about the pay cut until August.
I sound like such a Debbie Downer, but it sucks when you try really hard to get your life the way you want it and then the Universe says "EFF you!!!!"
But, of all my problems, it could be worse, so I am 100% grateful for what I have and I just hope this unexpected turn of events is somehow going to be a lemons into lemonade situation.
I post, like, never nowadays... but I try to keep up with reading. Nothing much to contribute to most conversations though.
I started my new job in September and love it! It's a much more family-friendly environment and I have great hours and better pay. Eddie's company was bought by a large software company out of CA a year ago, but they kept his team intact in Pittsburgh and he just recently got a promotion, or a title change and a raise. He's not doing as much creatively as he was before, but he is really enjoying it and the pay/benefits are much better. The downside is that he has conference calls in the evenings 2x a week, so he doesn't get to see Adrian (or I) that much on those nights.
I gained back a bunch of the weight I had lost after the baby once I went back to work. Something about sitting at a desk all day mus have done it for me. :-( I feel like I am huge, even though I have recently found that a lot of my pre-pregnancy clothes still fit. I guess my body changed so much that I am not comfortable, and I feel really dowdy most days. My hair is never done (the kid is terrified of the blow dryer noise) and a lot of my clothes are boring. I have been taking the time to paint my nails (thanks to this board) and it has done a lot in helping me feel more put-together. It does not, however, help me feel attractive enough to want sexy time. I did just start a Zumba class at work 1x week and walking with the stroller when it's nice out.
Weaning has officially started, as I am hoping to TTC #2 this Fall. We decided to start weaning straight to cow's milk, very slowly, and this week is the first week that I do not have to pump at work! We are working on transitioning to only three nursing sessions a day (morning, after work, bedtime). Once he turns one in less than a month (!!!), we'll start more WCM at home and less nursing sessions. I hope to be fully weaned by July.
On the Adrian front, he started taking a few steps on his own last week but it still pretty shy about it. He's a very efficient and fast crawler, so he often opts for that option instead. He also has a few words he likes to "say" semi-consistently. A lot of them sound similar, so I get confused on what he's trying to say. Oops.
He's still pretty huge, about 25 lbs. And this just reminded me that I haven't scheduled his 12-mo pedi appointment.
On the house front, our commutes to our new jobs are about 45 minutes each way, less when traffic is light, but it is a big drag with gas these days! We think we'll sell within the next 2-3 years, or so. Once we have #2 the house will start feeling smaller. Before we sell though, we have to finish the basement to give Eddie a home office that isn't in the 3rd bedroom (so kid #2 can have a room), plus we want to finish renovating our kitchen. We just finished renovating the bathroom a few weekends ago and it made a HUGE difference!
Sorry for the WOT.
I had to work yesterday but thought I'd pop in and update.
Work is good, I still love my job after almost two years. It's stressful at times, but fun and engaging. DH is still #2 on the promotional list, we are thinking he may get promoted by sometime next summer. He's going to school for his associates in fire science and is excited about that.
Personal: we signed up the other day for our scuba classes, so we'll start that once we can find an instructor to work with our crazy schedules. I am getting really excited about it. I also started couch to 5K again and started week 2 yesterday and it's going really well, and I like weight watchers so far, even though I am not quite used to figuring out how to order at a restaurant and blew all my weekly points on an evening out with my friend yesterday.
TTC: still on the pill, boo. I emailed my OB the other night to detail my concerns and he called me yesterday morning before work. He told me he doesn't think the spotting is significant at this point and doesn't think it means I'm not regulating, although he said if it continues next month to call back and let him know. He was willing to switch me to a different pill if I want, but since I'll be off the pill in two months it's probably best to stick with the same hormones. So the plan is to take the pill for another 6 weeks, try naturally in May (while being sloppy drunk in Cancun) and I think if we're not successful in May and/or have continued spotting issues, I want to pursue Clomid. I think. My opinion changes daily.
Travel: this is the year of the vacation for us. We are going to Cancun for a week in May at a couples' only all-inclusive. We have a few weddings in June, including one in Kentucky. The end of June, DH is going on a motorcycle trip and I am probably going to DC while he's gone. Then in July we're going to Philly for a week while DH and his BFFs attend a work conference, and the wives/kids explore the city.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
Yay! Just not the 3rd weekend, any other time is wonderful!
Stand up for something you believe in.
Also, thanks Ames
