What's on your mind? There's a lot on my mind!

[Deleted]

1. Target has finally redeemed themselves in my eyes. So much fun cute spring stuff. It'll be fun when it clearances out for me. Today though I stucked up on some $2.00 clearance Pj/lounge/workout tanks, $3.00 pj pants, clearance water bottles for the spring work season (the help and H always seem to lose these), cute candles etc. Finally affordable as well.

2. I got a new vacuum. Eureka Zuum. For $79.00 on sale it's not bad. I just gave it a good run through in my house about an hour ago and I was impressed for the money. It claims to suck as well as Dyson and I believe it. My old vac hasn't apparently worked in quite sometime. There was a lot of ick coming out I never used to have. I also love how well it does corners (my Shark was kind of awful at that) and sucks up things like Cheerios. What I don't love is that it's made about as well as a $79.00 vacuum. Whatever, my carpets are actually clean, I like it overall, we'll see how it lasts. H got frustrated last night and finally told me to just go get a new one before the Easter guests think we don't vacuum..lol. We discussed and I only have 3 rooms of carpet, 2 of which are little used bedrooms so I can't justify a fortune.

3. I've been thinking about what to do with my bathroom. I took all of your advice, but I think I'm still going with the mostly white theme. No one in the realm of my reality will ever say, "But you can't do relaxing chic white with wood trim!" With some rearranging it'll make me happy and all anyone will ever say is, "Nice shower curtain!" I'm throwing in some mercury glass stuff though. Ya'll were right. Plain white all around isn't for me.

4. I hate used shoes for kids. My kid practically runs a marathon everyday, why would I put her in a) cheap b) crappy c) used shoes.Unless they're like newborn dress shoes that never see the light of day, I just can't do it. Does this make me weird? Probably. I'm fully aware it's my own issue.

5. I'm over the TTC business for right now. It's been six months and no dice. Dr. told us if we weren't pregnant by then to come back considering I have a history. Here we are. I don't want to do it. My first pregnancy was traumatic, it took over a year to get pregnant the second time, and it looks like that's where we're headed again. It'll be fine, but it's a bit disheartening.

That is all.

R and I aren't seeing eye-to-eye moment on an issue regarding the old rental. He's much more of an optimist than I am, though. I just need to get over myself and let him handle it.

I'm so tired of my job. I love it, but I'm just ... tired. I need a vacation or at least a couple days off in a row. I haven't (literally) taken a day off since January 2009. Like, at all. Even for funerals, sickness, travel, whatever. People's illnesses and aches/pains are starting to get to me and I think I'm getting cynical.

MIL left me a VM yesterday that she wants to talk to me. I guess FIL has a stomach ulcer (from taking Ibuprofen for back pain) and she wants help with recipes. I'm not a fantastic cook, so I'm really confused why she wants to talk to me about cooking. My repetoire is pretty limited, honestly ...

S/O TTC#2....I'm still undecided on TTC#2. Right now I feel complete with just one, but so many people are "Oh, you just can't have only ONE child!! It's so unfair!" Maybe DD is just so young right now (18 mo), but I have zero desire to do the whole newborn baby thing again. I don't know how I'll be able to keep up with DD while caring for a NB. I'm exhausted at the end of most days with just her. I feel kind of guilty because I know DH wants at least 2, but right now I'm just not feeling it.

Wha..who thinks used kid shoes are a good idea? The one pair of sneakers DD has now are realllllly worn. If you shop around you can get decent kid shoes for under $20. I bought DD's last pair at Meijer for $14. I simply will not spend more than $25 on a pair of shoes for my kid when I have a hard time spending that (aside from running shoes) on myself. AND she's only in them for 6 months at the most.

I'm so over work. I know being a SAHM is no picnic, but damn I dream of being rid of the corporate world.

I'm sorry Dairy. =(

1. I'm freaking out about the kitchen pretty much 24/7. What if we spend all this money and I don't love it? There's also still a LOT to get done in the next month.

2. I interviewed for a job about a month ago and then got a call saying I was one of the final two candidates. A week later they called to say JK, we're eliminating the position and I've been bummed ever since.

3. Meh, edited. I shouldn't say that. She's a good kid. I just wish she was a little less angsty.

LOL. My SIL has no issues with used shoes no matter how old or crappy. Then she sends me bags of them. They go straight to goodwill. I don't even open them. She sends me tons of other stuff and I'm thrilled, but the shoes skeeve me out. And that's just it. Rubes actually has some "higher end" shoes and they were less than $25.00 a pair. She has slow growing feet so I have no problem with it!

I'm with you on TTC 2. H would have 8 kids by now if I could agree to it. I love my one, but she's enough. Alas, I want one more so I feel like I should just get it over and done.

And I love work. SAHM isn't for me. The two days a week I am home with Rubes one is fun, the next we want to kill each other. I'd be out of my mind if we couldn't wander through the barnyard. My school job is pretty non stressful (but not really fun) and Rubes loves daycare, so we have a good arrangement.

1. My contacts are so dry. I can't wait till I beat this stupid dry eye syndrome.

2. I forgot my practice wear for dance practice. Doing the Rumba in a turtleneck will be oh-so-fun...

3. I wonder what my new employers think of me and if I appear eager. I'm just too darn happy to not be working 60-80 hours anymore. Like I'm HAPPY to be here!

4. Siding appointment on Saturday is super exciting. We've waited years to get to this point. I'm being positive it all works out.

5. I started thinking last night that I don't spend enough time with friends. I'm super happy just being independent and hanging with my workouts, dance practice, cleaning house, hanging with DH...but I worry that this is harmful? Those things make me content and I AM so darn independent so I dunno....

6. Everyone is having babehs around me. I think DH's work has caused him to lose sight of previous discussions we had of TTC and we may not be on that same page. Being patient!

1. DH is so cranky because his work sucks right now. His boss is being ridiculous and keep pulling the do it because I said card. So needless to say the few times I've tried talking to him he ends up chewing me out. I called him out on it today and told him sorry wasn't enough this time. He asked me what he needed to do and I told him he needs to think on it and come up something. He laughed and said I wasn't making it easy on him
2. I went to the chiro and I feel so much better and then I got a haircut
3. I had a scentsy party and can't wait for my scents to come in even DH got into smelling the scents and helping me pick and even wanted a warmer
4. I'm a little jealous I can't drive our new truck more. DH has gotten two new vehicles while I've had the same car the whole time. I was supposed to get a new car this year but then DH wrecked our truck. I'm kinda upset about it just sometimes not everyday. I'm ready for an SUV and 4x4

1. I love my kids' doctor. They went this morning and he is just awesome.

2. I'm getting a little sad about selling this house just because last weekend was 72 degrees and we had it all opened up. Then I realize we are going to be able to capture all of that in the new house and not have to deal w the stuff we don't like.

3. We are taking 2 days off next week to finish the kitchen and then list the house. Crazy. I'm so excited! I'm sooo ready to not be broke anymore.

4. Dairy - I'm with you on the used shoes for kids. Gross and they always look so beat up. A friend of mine hands me down clothes and shoes that have been thru 3 kids already. They are usually gross and I just take them to goodwill.

1. I'm getting nervous about my job interview on Friday for several reasons.  I would really love this job because I'd be closer to home and it is SO much more money.  But I will really miss my current school if I get the job and take it.  However, I'm leaning more towards being excited about the possibilities of getting this new job than I am about being sad about possibly leaving my current district.  So wish me luck!

2. It is Spring Break next week!  Thank the Lord.  My students have been crazy.

3. DH gets a big bonus tomorrow and we will be purchasing either a washer/dryer set or new floor for the downstairs bonus room.  We can't decide yet...

In April, TAXES take over my mind.

[jrsbaby9800]

1. We have tomorrow off of work and my mind has not been at work since o, 4:30 yesterday.
2. My In laws are moving closer to me and it makes me want to move to Florida all that much more.
3. I want a breast reduction in the worst way but DH isn't on board.at.all
4. I want to be pregnant in the worst way, but feel selfish saying that knowing how many ppl can't get pregnant or are having a way harder time doing so.
5. I Could go on and on but will shut up now...

WHAT? Why does he even get a say in it? Your breasts, your decision!!

[stephm0188]

1. I registered my little person for kindergarten this morning. I was hoping I'd feel good about the decison, but I don't.

2. I want a stick vac. I need to research this.

3. I need sunshine and warm weather soon. This long winter is taking a toll on my sanity, as well as my kid's.

I had a breast reduction. I have only one regret....I didn't do it sooner. I was 40....It should have been at 20. Don't give up...

Me too. It is so cold here I don't even want to take the baby out for a walk. We are really starting to go stir-crazy. (Also, the pedi said to avoid crowds with her for another week because cold and flu season is still so bad. So we are reallllly limited on places to go and my house, a few friends' houses, and MIL's are getting old REALLY FAST.)

Also, my taxes are still not done. :/ And I know we'll owe a hefty 4-figure amount, which is probably why I am still putting them off.

Also also, nursing is the best diet I've ever been on. I ate 7 chocolate chip cookies yesterday and lost another 3 lbs this morning. 38 lbs of pregnancy weight? Gone! (Granted, I think about 15 lbs of it was swelling that came on in the last 4-5 weeks, but still, instant gratification.)

[lmbml]

I am so sick of cold weather and snow. And when it finally melts, we will have flooding.

I can't wait for summer to have another garage sale. Kids clothes are taking over. They need to stop growing so fast!! I have so many kids clothes. I should get it together and try to sell them at Once Upon a Child. But they don't pay much.

I am tired. Worked nine hours last night and got up at 8.

I want to take a warm vacation.
