Re: Confessions?
We're going oot for h's cousin's wedding this weekend (yes, an Irish wedding on St. Paddy's!) and I'm SO EXCITED because I LOVE them and it's going to be a blast! We're staying at the same hotel the ceremony and reception are at, so I'm sure H and I are going to have wayyy to much fun. Our poor livers. ANYWAY, my confession is that it's my SIL's BF's b-day and I know she's going to be talking about it alllllll weekend - how great he's handling the wedding being on that day, blah blah blah. Maybe it's because I'm a birthday grinch, but really? Dude's gonna be 29. NBD. Celebrate another day - your cousin's only gonna have one wedding (hopefully!)!
AF was late this month and I legit thought I was KTFU. I was actually sad when she came yesterday (and I was sober!). H was really excited when I told him that yesterday.
My BFF and I aren't going to that concert tomorrow night because we're working late-ish. We would've had a great time...but I'm relieved because I didn't want to deal with the ex situation.
I still love my job so much, but I feel like I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm used to hating what I do; I'm scared I won't like it as much next season or my boss will leave or...I dunno! I just hope I continue to love it as much as I do now.

I confess that house hunting has me thinking about the future way too much; I don't even have kids and I'm thinking about which room would be the nursery and what the school districts are, etc. As a notorious over-planner, it's dangerous for me to be thinking about it this much.
I confess that I didn't lose any weight last week and I got really bummed. I know that this diet is supposed to be healing my leaky gut and getting my hormones and thyroid in check, but I really really really want to lose the weight before our vacay in June. I think I'm gonna step it up and do crossfit 4x this week
I'm running the color run on 3/31 and have not been running since early February
I am starting to lose sleep over the possibility of not having a job when I graduate. I haven't been unemployed since I was 14 (srsly) and I have no idea what I'll do with all of my time. I know that moving into a new house will keep me plenty busy, but if I'm not juggling 4 or 5 things at one time I feel lazy.

sounds legit to me! lol
I confess that I don't want to do any more school work even though I graduate in 4 weeks. Not alone taking the boards in June.
Also, I confess we know the sex of our baby and we are not telling anyone. We actually found out by mistake when the doctor just blurted it out 4 weeks ago at the u/s. I was a little upset at first, but now I am glad so that I can secretly go shopping for the little one and finally figure out a name.
Finally, I confess that I appologize to the fact I haven't been posting much. I am finishing up my classes and being pg is tiring me out fast. Never did I have to sleep so much since I was a toddler, lol.
1. it's good to see you around here!
2. I hear ya on the tired/school thing. I'm finishing up my masters, and I have about 3 weeks left, but I have no desire to get anything done. I'm too preoccupied.
I'll add this same confession. I turned my thesis in and all I have to do now is finish up one tiny little project that in reality should take maybe 2-3 days, and I've been procrastinating it for 2 weeks.
I confess that I can't remember if I told you girls that DH's grandmother (the one with the farm) passed away in January. Things have been BSC with his family since. Sigh.
I confess that I'm getting really impatient with Pepper and how scared she is in this house. She's terrified of even hearing the birds through the open windows while she sitting on the couch. I'm trying to be at patient as possible, though, because I know I'll need it when we have kids.
ohhh shiiiiit I have another one.
I'm getting really really pissed that we cancelled the cruise that we had booked for April. DH and his brothers were going to go backpacking across the smokey mountains in August..but they changed it to April, because that was the only time all of them could go (because of my EDD in August).
I was starting to really resent it because it was going to be our last vacation without the baby, and I just really need to relax and have fun.
yesterday, DH told me that BECAUSE BIL/SIL CAN'T GET A BABYSITTER FOR TWO OF THE DAYS, they have to cut back from 9 days to 7 days, which means they would be going to MAINE.
I did not flippin cancel my cruise so DH can backpack 5 effin hours away. NO WAY. I'm super super pissed.
If I wasn't KU, I'd almost say that I would go by myself on the cruise. ughhhh.

I woke up at 8:17 today. I am supposed to be to work by 8:30. I am normally a few minutes late every day because my office is pretty relaxed, but lately I've been pushing the envelope and I know it's not good, but I just don't care.
I had to cancel 3 weddings from August 25 - September 15 because I will be huge and not able to do a good job. I'm sad to lose the income, and I really like my clients, but I am relieved that I don't have to worry about hiring an assistant or second shooter to help me because my ankles will be the size of tree trunks. I shot a wedding this weekend and it was exhausting. Fun, but exhausting. I have 4 more to go between April - June and then I am done till next year. Yay!
I wish DH weren't so cautious sometimes. He doesn't want me to quit my job and go full time with the photography after we have the baby. I know it would suck to lose my weekly income, but I also think that if I don't take this opportunity to give it a try, I never will. Also, I know that if things get tight, I can get a part time job or something. He doesn't seem to grasp this. He thinks my job is the be all and end all of my ability to bring in money. We talk about it every week, but I just feel like he is too freaking nervous to let me take a chance. I want to tell him to chill the frack out.

Thanks ladies. I was thinking today about maybe trying to book something for the end of June.
In july, we have a week in Jersey with my family, and then we have a week of camping with DH's family...anything later is a no-go. booo.
