Just had a window replacement company come out to take measurements for an estimate. I have two more companies coming tomorrow and another two on Friday.
L is napping now and then I will walk the boys to the bank to pay my credit card and the store to get brownies to bake for Mothers Day on sunday.
DH and I got into a big fight last night (same topic as confessions). I ended up telling him he needs to do something because I can't see me putting up with this forever (I think it's equal part his physical difficulties and not wanting another baby...I can empathize on the physical parts and understand why that would make him want to avoid sex, but also wish he would at least try to seek help, although he is very anti medication). Anyways, I slept on the couch. He was very apologetic this morning and even suggested putting sex on the to do list before the end of this week.
Glad you talked to him luv2rn4fun. I'm sorry you guys fought though.
DH and I are having issues too. They all go back to employment/money problems. We talked again today. Stopped just short of fighting about it. When we aren't talking about finances things are really good. I hate when money becomes a problem. He had to leave for a bit so not sure how much more I'll see him today. At least tomorrow morning we have family time planned. That should help.
luv2rn4fun I hope he follows through on your talk.
I need to call a contractor so we can get a quote for the work we want to get done. I'm hoping the price isn't outrageous and he's not already booked for the summer.
MIL is coming over soon so I can go run errands. I hope she gets here soon because I'm holding off eating lunch so I can grab something out.
@@ I had my 16 week appointment today and finally heard the heartbeat! So far so good, and we scheduled the A/S for June 13th.

luv2rn4fun - I'm glad your H seemed apologetic this morning.
I have a bunch of things I need to return to the post office. This is why sometimes I hate ordering online. I'd much rather return something to the store then deal with the effort of printing a return receipt, repackaging, and going to the post office.
Apparently mothers day is this week. Lol. Just figured that out yesterday.
I'm getting frustrated with H for again not sucking it up and just doing what needs to be done around the house. I get that he is tired after work, but so am I and I work all evening until bed most nights. The teeny tiny bathroom we started in September is still not done. Wtf. This is getting absurd. Our basement has water standing in it and he has been home 3 days without even going down thereโ. On top of this, we got a swing set he needs to put together and said maybe July. Uhh, that's half way through summer. I think I am going to make him a home improvement calendar including all the things I do, so he will see the lopsided effort and holes.

Thanks ladies! I hope things continue to go up from here. At least we are talking and not fighting for today (and having productive conversations)
bk1- ((hugs)). Sorry you guys are fighting and struggling too. I feel the same way with us...outside of this one issue we are in a decent place and working together as a team. Hope things improve for you soon!
amaranth- ((hugs)). I would be very frustrated as well ๐ A chart might help him visualize things better. I know my DH has zero concept of all I do and can sometime think that I am on vacation while i SAH with the boys (especially lately since we have been going to Disneyland a lot lately).
tacocatMrsMB- great news ladies!! Prayers the rest of your pregnancy continue to go smoothly!
Made it to the bank and grocery store! Brownies were $0.99 each if I bought 4 boxes so that's what I did. Yay for lots of brownies!! The boys are napping and I was able to workout, make dinner, eat lunch, and talk to DH a little bit on his lunch break. It's cold and dreary here so not sure what we will do the rest of today...maybe drive up to Starbucks for happy hour ๐

I don't know what I caught (thought it was allergies) but it's getting worse and worse. Allergy pills and Sudafed aren't helping and I don't have many options! My nose is a faucet! Of course blowing my nose does nothing. Grrr!
