I had a good weekend at work. My patients were so sweet. One of them was 90 years old and told me he was ready to go be with his wife who died 6 years ago though..... I told him if he was ready, that was perfectly fine. I never know how to respond to that.
I have to write an article critique with a couple of classmates later this morning and I haven't even read the article.
We close on our house Friday. How is it this soon? We a packing. Holy shit!
This weekend H and I had a pretty serious talk about time table for kids, and it is so exciting and crazy. We've been together since we were young, and got married young, so kids have been 'one day' for so long that I can't believe we are probably less than a year away from trying.
I'm really struggling with deciding how I feel about being a SAHM for a few years, how hard it would be financially/getting back to work after a large chunk of time off, etc. I'm crazy, because I'm not even pregnant yet, so why do I obsess? Oh, because I'm neurotic.
H and I are here too.
How are you feeling about it? Are you guys trying to save a certain amount of money or something?
H and I are waiting until he finishes school, which should be Spring or Summer of 14. He'll probably do a Post Doc position afterwards, which is like 2 years. How much he gets paid for this will obviously be a big factor in whether I work, and we can't plan for that yet, so it is kind of frustrating. I'm a teacher, and I'm worried if I don't work immediately when I move I will lose a really awesome endorsement, because my principal will bend over backwards to call other principals and put in a good word, but if there are years in between, he may not really do that anymore since I'm not fresh in his mind. I know I'm overthinking.

I had a red, bumpy rash on both of my inner arms that suddenly appeared last night. I ate a PB&J, cheez-its and a capri sun for dinner. Lol. Allergies? To peanuts maybe? I've never had any food allergies, but it's possible to develop them later yes? It's only slightly itchy, but mostly all the tiny red bumps just look gross. Haha.
My flameful? I've been talking to H a lot about the whole boundary/sister issue. He was weird all week (like overly nice/accommodating, etc.) So Friday night I went out with some friends (H knew I was going out) and didn't come home until 4am without saying anything to H. But then I was mad that he never texted/called me to see where I was and if I was ok. I can't have it both ways I guess.
@stellasmom, is the young girlfriend by any chance a traveling model? I hear that it's pretty common that traveling models latch onto an older photographer. (Don't get me wrong, I think it's creepy. I've just seen it happen, and my photographer friends report that they see it all the time.)

We're not going to start trying for about 2 years. We're waiting because we've got a lot of change in the next 2 years. We're moving to another state this winter, so H can start a new job. Then we want to start looking for a house. His job salary is enough that I have the option to stay home once we settle in or once we have kids. I also want to start my master's degree, but I have to wait 12 months after we move to avoid out of state tuition. I need to be working while completing my master's because of class requirements, I'll need to write a research paper and have access to students, parents, and administrators. However, if I get my master's and then not use it, I feel like it would be a waste of money. So this makes me feel like I want to work, but I'm also just tired of the politics that come with teaching.
I realize this probably sounds like I'm rambling, I apologize. In other words, my pros and cons list between working and staying home is about even at this point. I'm hoping to work and complete my master's degree until we have kids, and I guess I'll decide then.
I'm right there with ya, lady. Down to my job! lol.
Ugh I really hate our neighbors next door. They always sit out in their cars smoking in their driveway with the music blaring so loud our windows vibrate. Their little girl is also bratty. She likes to antagonize our dog by throwing her ball at our fence when Roxie is out by the fence (so basically throwing it at her face) and leaning over our fence, which I have told her to stop because it freaks our dog out.
She is probably 5/6 and the parents are never ever outside with her or their two little dogs that just bark constantly. They will keep them outside while they are gone and they bark at absolutely everything. I am so close to calling on them sometime, but they are so dumb/immature, I am worried they would assume it was us and do something stupid to retaliate.
Our neighborhood was so peaceful and quiet before they moved in in February. We always end up with the crappy neighbors, whether it's in an apartment, or now a house. WHY??? What did I do to deserve this? LOL.
Rant brought to you by their little girl screaming bloody murder at our fence line right now.
I just realized my K-cups are decaf no wonder I've been so grumpy the last few days.
I've done this. It sucks. For whatever reason the Donut House ones look way too similar, and I've accidentally bought the decaf of that one plenty of times.
Damn you squirrelly bread. I forgot about what you do to me.
I think my pp bleeding has picked back up. Either that or I've started my period, but that would be weird, right? Anyway, It's just annoying because I was bleeding on and off for 5 weeks, then it stopped for a week, so I figured I was in the clear. Now it just shows up out of nowhere. Ugh.
I am "kidding," but with quotation marks around it b/c I would honestly love a fake fireplace even though they are cheesy.
My christmas present to myself last year was one similar to this. I used to make fun of my mom for her fake fireplace, but then I started to love hers and decided I had to have one.
A few months ago, I had told J that I'd like something from Tiffany at some point in my life. I know it's cliche- at this point, it's like a Coach purse, right? But still. I wanted the little blue box.
Yesterday was my birthday. He got me a Tiffany bracelet. He is the best, best, best.
Oh, and I know I'm not ready for kids at the moment is that 75% of the reason I want to be pregnant is for the elastic waist pants. Those things look SO comfy and I WANT THEM.
I am getting my eyebrows waxed tonight. Last time I got them done was in March, and I broke out with one million pimples from it (which never happened when I was not pregnant). I have been putting it off because I don't want all the pimples, but I can't anymore.

Have them threaded instead! Most malls have a place. It hurts less and looks so much better.

I have driven an hour to the closest mall THREE times in the last year for the sole purpose of getting my eyebrows threaded. I chickened out every time and never actually went through with it. It seems like it would be so painful!

It's really not. I mean, anytime you're pulling hair out but the roots it's going to hurt some. It definitely hurts less than waxing, and unlike waxing, you're not sore and red afterwards.
We had guests over last night and I planned on making a cake, so I bought some really ripe peaches. I never made the cake (which, I should have known - I bake like twice a year), and now I'm not sure what to do with the peaches before they go bad as their days are definitely numbered. I put one in a smoothie this morning, but I can only drink so many smoothies.

No way! I´d much rather have them waxed. Threading hurts like a mo´fo, and it takes longer too.
Threading is like sharp pinpricks, more gradual. I have done both and prefer waxing because it's quicker, usually two or three "big ones" and a few follow ups. It hurts more at each go.
The thing with me with the threading is that it "smarts" more than it hurts, at least for me. It makes my eyes water like crazy while its being done. I don't know if that makes any sense. Both are effective, in my opinion.

My H is driving me crazy. We have gone to counseling in the past and it helped but we stopped going. The last few months have been rough. I kind of want to grab the kids and run away. I also don't want to raise 5 kids alone. I'm just kind of rambling here.

Apparently I have thin skin (literally, not figuratively). Waxing pulls off a layer of skin along with the hair, so for me at least, it hurts like a bitch and I end up all scabby.
Autumn has been with her family and friends. She said a couple days ago she was going to a golf tournament, and I know she was spending time with her H's family after the passing of their friend.
My mom and I went to a bridal shower yesterday in a town that is H and I's #1 pick to buy a house. On the way, I saw a for sale sign on THE cutest house. A cute little red cape with a beautiful yard. I LOVED it. I dragged my mom in, and it was so perfect. It wasn't totally updated so I thought it would be in our range. Nope. 450k!! For 1100 square feet! We might be rethinking our towns. I can't stop thinking about this house. I even dragged H by it last night. It's out of the question though

@tambcat I have a fake fireplace and I don't even care!! I love it.
Random - I'm a member of another forum (GASP!) and they have a "multi-quote" feature, where you can quote however many people you want in your reply. I wish we had that here.
