Confessions?

Re: Confessions?

    My parents have been here less than 24 hours and I'm losing my mind. 

    Sunday cannot come soon enough. Omg.  

    ::passes KC a drink:: 

    I hear you. My dad has been here since Saturday and he is driving me insane. I've never had this problem with him, but he is being messy and I may lose my temper if he keeps talking to me like a 5 year old.

    We got orders to move from Wyoming to New Jersey for this summer.  I have wanted so badly to get out of here for so long, that I should be excited, but I am starting to dread the move only a week into the orders. 

    I hate my job here A LOT and I should be taking this as an opportunity to move into something new, but I'm not sure what I want to do. 

    DH wants to do the move entirely ourselves and isn't being persuaded otherwise.  I hate packing, and would rather have movers come and do everything, but I guess since I can't convince him, I'm going to be stuck spending my last bit of time here packing.

    Our last PCS a few months ago we had to do a full DITY, we made quite a bit of money off of it but it was SO NOT worth it. Not ever a little bit. We had friends help us load our stuff at our last duty station but knew no one when got to our new one so we had to unload everything by ourselves. Not to mention if you don't have a place lined up to move into you're paying to keep the truck longer, rushing to find a house, etc.

    I never have confessions, or at least any good ones that I'm willing to share. Sad

    My Dad's GF sent me a birthday card. I wasn't excepting it at all and that gesture alone was super sweet. Then inside the card is a little note saying she bought be a cutting board like the one I tried to win at the crab feed we went to the other night. I stood in my kitchen and cried. I really like her. Its been really hard to have someone in that spot in my dad's life that's not my mom. His other girl friend was a *itch and it made it easy to not like her and not feel like she was going to become part of our lives. This one is awesome. She is super sweet and she has a daughter who could be my twin in just about everything. I didn't think I could be happy with my dad being with someone other than my mom but I think I can with her.

    Oh honey. This makes me happy. I know it probably will be hard/uncomfortable but I'm so glad to see her putting forth such effort. I really hope things progress and you can be open with her about your feeling. I'm sure she's kind of in an akward spot too.

    Thanks S, and Margot and KCD. It means a lot. 

    S the best thing is she has gone thought basically the same thing with her husband as my Dad did with my mom. I love that she is so genuine and just all around kind.  

    I had a huge melt down the other day in front of her, it made me look awful and all she did was give me a hug and said she completely understood.

  • Last year a few months before H deployed I got off BC and we didn't do anything to prevent pregnancy, but nothing happened. Ever since (even though I'm on BC now) H has been speculating as to whether or not he's fertile. He wants to go get his sperm count or something tested.

    I have no clue as to why he's so concerned about this right now when kids aren't on the radar for us for another few years, but it's making me nervous.

    We went to a fertility center consulation today.  We finally have an answer and it is me.  I am not producing enough follicles.  While I am happy we have an answer it makes me sad to know it is me.  And to top it off we can't do much because of my surgery this month and then he leaves sometime in the next few months, for a few months. 

    Super duper hugs.

    *hugs* Its good to have a place to start with a answer finally. But I know what you mean. We are still going through the initial workup and will hopefully find out some answers at the end of the month. I just want to know what the problem is, but regardless of what it is, if its me I know I'll be sad too.

     Huge hugs and prayers to you both.

    and it's all deep about honesty in a marriage and stuff, and all I took from it is that I need to be forcing H to take a hot tub every night... 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.

    Yeh I had my initial work-ups with a regular ob-gyn and when they ran out of things to do got refered to an actual RE (the closest one is an hour away).  He only had to run one test by the I got there, and lo and behold the one teest they didn't do showed it.   Good luck with your testing.

    TBH it's probably just timing. You are only fertile a couple days out of the month. A friend of mine and her H took 2 years to get pregnant. 1 year w/out protection then another year with charting and timing... the second year took a while mostly because her H was gone (TDY/Deployments) when she was ready to go.

    Haha!  We need to get one too.  F*ck those spermies!  And f*ck the internets, it knows nothing!
