Confessions
Re: Confessions
This isn't selfish--selfish would be "I'm going to get pregnant but not let it stop me from drinking this summer!!! Woohoo!!!"
It'll only be this summer, but I'm going to miss drinking at pool parties this year. Sigh.
JJ's going through all this testing for learning and development issues because his daycare keeps saying they think he's slow, pretty much. Funny thing is, all the testing is showing he's right where he needs to be, but his speech is delayed. I'm starting to reconsider the daycare we just moved him to in December and may move him again.
I'm spending next weekend in NYC visiting my college roommate, sans JJ. I had planned on taking him with me, but my mom volunteered to watch him. I feel bad, but also a little excited, that I get one last trip by myself before new baby is born.
I had a Sonic blast with M&Ms. The first few bites were AMAAAAAAAZING, after that it was just eh.
I hoped Chase was going to be a girl. Of course I wouldn't trade him for anything now, but the night we found out he was a boy... I cried. That's awful.
FFFCs: I hosted a baby shower yesterday and it made me want to TTC soon. I'm clearly sleep deprived and hormonal-->not thinking clearly.
I'm tired of being responsible with finances. Sometimes, I just want to throw caution to the wind and live, and not worry about tomorrow. Doesn't matter how much one has in savings when one dies, right? (I know there's a fine balance, and I tend to swing to the side of being stressed and stingy. I probably should live a little.)
I totally judge our friends/acquaintances who are still caught up in the college mindset. Most of us graduated 5 to 8 years ago...time to move on in life, people. Even if you're still living in Norman. There is much more to the town than the college scene.
AW: I've lost all my baby weight and am back in my old clothes. Such a nice feeling.
I totally agree with 5th! Enjoy your summer
While I'm excited to be off for the summer and able to spend it with G, I feel like I should be more excited. I'm mostly worried I'll get bored/tired of being at home, lose my patience, and be in need of a break soon
I can't keep my house clean. It's only H and I, I am a SAHW (fingers crossed that my interview goes really well tomorrow and this changes), I go to school in the evenings, yet... I CAN'T keep my house clean. I'm a terrible house wife. I spent the ENTIRE day yesterday doing laundry. The amount of laundry that I had to wash and fold is embarrassing. Also, I've spent the past hour or so hanging up those things that go in the closet.
I really don't know what my problem is. I hate mess... yet, my house is always a mess. Not dirty/disgusting... just stuff. It's ridiculous.
Yay!!!! I am so pumped up for you!!!!!
This was an expensive weekend. I have really made an effort to get my spending under control and then......all hell broke loose.
And...I am feeling horribly guilty. Like, stomach hurts guilty which I think is great but....not when I am at work, my God. Regardless, the majority of the money was spent on our backyard - our landscaping looks so beautiful but we have a long way to go. 1/4 of it was spent on...clothes. I still have two pairs of shoes I plan to stalk and eventually buy. See, one trip is never just *one trip.*
My I plop my kids in front of Nick Jr. in the evenings to get a minute to myself...it's educational damnit!
H got me a dud of a Mother's Day gift (basket o' bath crap from amazon...not even anything I would like such as philosophy yummy foody smelly stuff) and I called them and had it shipped back to the facility before it even arrived. I didn't even want to see it in person.
