I don't want to do work!

[mominatrix]

You'd be so proud! Picked up our new minivan last night.

It's purrrrty.

The above wasn't really a confession or anything, it was my explanation for starting this thread, haha.

I pumped this morning and washed out my breastshields like I do every morning. Except I forgot to throw them in my breast pump bag as I was leaving so I have to leave work in a little while so I can pump. I feel so lame. And I can't decide if I should get DS now from daycare or go back out later to pick him up.

Yeah!!! Which did you end up going with? And aren't the power sliding doors AWESOME?!? When I stumble out to my car at 615 am with my purse, lunch, pumpbag and coffee mug those things save me.

[eclaires]

I bought Jackson clothes at abercrombie kids yesterday.

I feel kind of dirty.

[mominatrix]

Nissan Quest. Black with tan leather interior.
Love the power sliders, but I think I'm going to love the proximity key even more.

Ewwwwwwwwww minivans!
I refuse to get one. If I need a bigger vehicle (probably wont, drive a Civic and Accord) i would get the GMC Acadia. You get the extra seat without the atrocity that is a van.

MY thing for today - I have a sick baby and its so sad. I haven't had to experience this yet. Poor kid has the same bad cold virus I'm getting over. What happened to breastfeeding protecting him from this shit?! LOL

[SusanBAnthony]

I lust after minivans.

I lost a lb this morning.

I can't decode if I want another baby (I do) or not (my body will be destroyed again, I will have a screaming baby, money).

[secretlyevil]

I hate my job and really dislike my boss.

[mominatrix]

Minivan hilarity.

[wawa]

There is a little moving creature with arms and legs and fingers and a nose inside of me. It kicks me constantly, and I can't feel it. I got to watch it for a good while while the sonographer poked the shit out of my belly trying to get him/her to flip over so she could get a good shot for the NT screen, and the whole thing is just so weird. Awesome. But weird.

[dylanite]

Colbert thinks agnostics are atheists without balls. This is how I feel about many independents. Cowards hiding behind a praised inability to make a fucking decision.

[iammalcolmx]

I get to actually be on the board today because I am working an event!!! YAY!!

[emilyj]

I'm leaving for Atlanta shortly for my post-op visit to get all of my stitches out. No more itching!!! And I'm betting I can sweet talk H into lunch at one of our old favorite restaurants. Mmmmmm.

[copzgirl1171]

I got nothing but I am gaga over wawa's post!!

[Deleted]

One of my college best friends had her baby yesterday. She sent out a picture and this kid is GORGEOUS. like probably the prettiest newborn I have ever seen. I'm happy because I think my son should marry her so now I know I will have pretty grandchildren. LOL.

[charminglife]

my work bff resigned yesterday and I'm really sad.

[ringstrue]

There were 2 IT guys in my cube setting my computer up and I had to pee. Miraculously, I didn't grab a cup and pee in there - I just up and went to the bathroom like a normal person.

I spilled my makeup all over the bathroom. :-(

[meshaliuknits]

H spent half of BabyLiu's bday party making googly eyes at a 5 month old baby. I think he needs to borrow her.

[IIOY]

I keep forgetting I have a terrible farmer's tan so I wear sleeveless shirts and don't realize how ridiculous I look until I'm out in public and not able to do anything about it. For example, right now...

[pixy0stix]

This strolled across the wall under my counter not too long ago. It's the size of my palm.

I'm hoping it pops up on my counter to scare the bejeesus out of someone today.

[pescalita]

My supply is crashing. Or has crashed. Yesterday I got 8oz when I was once getting close to 16. I'm on fenugreek, no change, drinking tons of water, no change, had oatmeal this am, but it hasn't made a difference in the past. Neither has changing membranes, but I'll do that again today. Adding a pumping session does nothing. I'm going to get the pump checked at the hosp today.

The only thing that changes my output is my cycle. Now that it's back in its typical short form I'm almost always ovulating or about to start a new cycle. I'm afraid that's what's going on, and there's nothing I can do about it.

It's a giant mind fuck. We actually still have a fantastic nursing relationship, and he gets plenty nursing (even spit up this am), so I'm just not responding to the pump. And I don't care what he eats at daycare. I don't care what he eats at daycare. I don't care what he eats at daycare. And I don't care what he eats when we go out of town next w/e or what my MIL has to say about it either. Really.

Also, we're taking him on a plane in Oct. there will be much googling of old threads today.

We are waiting until the beginning of October to start TTC, but I'm so impatient. Really though, who knows when I'll ovulate again. The Getting Pregnant board has frightened me that I might not even have a real cycle until October or November again.

Don't read the GP board unless you're actually having trouble TTC. It will just drive you crazy unnecessarily. Don't worry about ovulation and timing and all that the first couple months. Just have lots of sex and have fun and see what happens. There's no need to turn TTC into a chore right away.

[teflep]

We sold our house; close next week and finally found a place to rent while we look to buy or build. I am a bit sad we are leaving the city.

I kind of wish my husband would work late tonight so that I can spend the evening reading some of my new books.

Is there where I'm allowed to admit that sometimes I love the fact that my H travels so much for just this reason?

[marie427]

I'm not made for rustic living. DH has to drive in order to get me my DD coffee. It's too far to walk and even though I can run that distance, there are no sidewalks around here and I only like to run on the street in familiar places. I do not like homemade coffee.

OMG I am such a snob.

Yay wawa! Boo pixy for that photo since I am seeing bugs like that that I don't want to see.

Tef, do people you know look at you like you have three heads because you're going from owning to renting? We may end up doing that due to impending TTC and my desire to save up for a forever house down the road, but we may also stay in the 1BR that we own and create a nursery in the dining area instead because I just don't want to move more than once. I am totally fine with the latter but I've learned that we should keep that under wraps IRL because people will inevitably call renting a waste of money.

Vent: It seems to be just as hard to get a 32yo teacher out of the house on the 1st day of school as a child.

AW: I've been doing a ease into running program and about 6 weeks done without missing a single workout. And after almost a year since the storm I've been back in my house for a few weeks and it has been awesome

Confession: All summer DH has been going to bed later than me because he's off for the summer. The last few nights we've gone to bed at the same time and I can't sleep at all. I miss having that time to fall asleep before he came upstairs.

[basilosaurus]

My car has been at the mechanic's for a week. Prior to that a friend borrowed it for the month H was out of town. I'm dragging my feet going to pick it up because I don't want to go back to the hassle of finding parking. We only get 1 space with our condo, and street parking can be insane. Plus, I have enough friends nearby to beg for rides which means I'm also not DD.

Also, the ocean is flat calm this morning which never happens, especially in the early am, so it's going to be hot and still today. I'm not looking forward to that in the least. Maybe I'll get the car just so I can find some a/c.

[teflep]

Marie..I used to think it was a waste too but there is such freedom in being able to just move. It also frees me from not taking the tax deduction that j think should go away anyway .

Good to know. I'm done with BC after my annual next month, and am already having the urge to go check out the GP board...so for now, that urge is getting squelched. Because the last thing I need is something else to get anxious about.
