Things that you are thinking about today....

Spenjamins

Mine: My boys will turn 5 in a few weeks and they are such cool big boys but I know some day soon they will not want to snuggle with their Mommy anymore. Boo Hoo! I want them to stay 4 a little longer!

DH will need to go to Santa Fe for an exam and an interview staying 5 days four nights.

I am trying to figure out where we are going to get the money for hotel, rental car, gas and food for him to go. I am the only income right now.

I know DS will be fine with daycare and school. And I will be fine and will be working.

I received notification that the swing set/playscape we bought for the boys shipped today!  Woo hoo!  Now I just have to line someone up to put it together next week when it arrives.

I am also thinking about how thankful I am that I only sprained my ankle vs. something worse.  But I also feel silly that I got hurt pushing a shopping cart to the car.

I keep thinking about how much DH & I want to do to the yard, and how our work schedules are not allowing it. 

I also keep thinking about how I need a vacation!  It's preventing me from doing decent work.

I'm thinking that I better make it to 40 weeks because I have a ton of things to get done at work!

Today I was thinking about:

1) Our goal being debt free (I just made the last payment on a credit card this morning, it felt AWESOME) we are now down to one CC and our mortgage.

2) DH finally had a breakthrough in the employment department, crossing my fingers he will get something full time soon.

3) I just signed DS2 up for his Kindergarten screening, I can't believe he will be 5 in May- time flies too fast!

I'm thinking I'm not handling 3 kids that well. I'm really struggling with this baby. Im pissed when I tried to talk to my mom she said well you wanted another kid.

Liam's first birthday is in 15 days--Crazy!

I have about 100 college essays to grade before Friday at midnight.

I turn 35 Friday (also seems crazy -- Wasn't I just 25?)

And I'm wondering if the college has been paying us right. A new applicant sent the English dept. and a college VP an email asking about our courseload and contract, and if what the VP emailed him back is right, we've all been teaching one extra course a year. The VP claims we've been being paid for it all along, but we've never noticed... Our dept. head is looking into it. On the one hand, I would feel dumb if I've been teaching extra for free, but if there's money out there the college owes me, YAY!!!

That we really, really need to get our taxes done (and really hoping we get money back so that we can work on our yard) ... how to get out of debt with all the debt we have and it all seems to keep mounting. That I love my sweet baby so much and he's getting so big already! My parents always told me that time goes by faster and faster as you get older but I never believed them until now...

I am thinking of my friend that was killed in a motorcycle accident.  Services are Saturday!

You still have a long time for cuddles Spenjamins.  My 6 y/o still cuddles with me every night while we read books and often on the couch while we watch TV/movies.  But, be warned, they will stop holding your hand in school sometime next year.  ;-)

1. im thinking about the materials that i have to send out at work.

2. I am also thinking about the upcoming holyweek break.

3. i am also thinking how wonderful it would be to sip on a piping hot brewed coffee.

4. lastly, i cant help but think of my jampacked sked for the week. weekend please arrive soon

After reading some responses, I'm actually thinking about the additional debt we are probably going to go into with DH being out of work. :-(

I'm thinking about how I can't wait to see my brother this weekend. (coming home on leave for a few days)

I'm also thinking about how much I want another LO, but can't right now until DH finds a new job.

I'm also thinking about how Easter Candy probably wasn't the best breakfast choice I could have made.

The new sheets I bought for our bed are scratchy and don't fit the mattress...i tossed and turned all night complaining in my head about them.  Off they go...they are so small they'll probably fit the queen mattress in the guest room so all's not lost I guess.  I should've just sucked it up and bought a pair of the ones I know I like instead of trying to cheap out...

expectingnothing

1 - that I have a date tonight - dinner and the art museum! Can't wait till 4 to leave work...

2 - that I may take advantage of the Saturday hours at daycare this weekend so I can get the house back in order and try to switch out the winter clothes for spring stuff

jenn_darrin1515

I am trying to decide what to do about my POS car (that is only 3 years old...but has had a multitude of problems, but just not enough to qualify it as a lemon)...we are working to be debt free so I feel like we should buy cheap...but I WANT a fancier vehicle...

I am also thinking I cannot wait until June when the girls start their new preschool/daycare.

JessandIgli

I am thinking I hope I don't lose my job in June. (I'm a teacher and due to budget cuts I may be laid off along with 5 other teachers. Ugh!

If I am laid off, maybe there is a better opportunity waiting out there for me...trying to stay positive about it!

I need to pick up an Easter dress and get some professional pics taken of DD stat!

I am thinking about the new breastpump I'm renting tonight and how I hope it works to get my supply back up.  Pumping 5x at work is going to wear me out.  But honestly I'm just glad I get off work an hour early to go pick the thing up.  Small blessings!

And how absolutely precious my child was in her first bout of giggles last night.  I will hear that sound over and over in my head today. 

I'm also thinking the dress I wore today is really short.  At 5'10" nothing is modest enough for this office.  Please remember not to bend over, self.

That I really need my husband to find a permanent teaching position so he's not so darn moody all.the.time.   Am I being naive to think that once that stress is gone he'll lighten the heck up?

Oh, and I'm thinking about how I just don't think Sully could get any cuter.  Exhibit A:

DTNZ4Ever

DS' 3rd birthday party this weekend. I can't believe he is going to be three and he is so much fun and so funny!

I have a headache for the last two days that won't go away.

How I just have to get through today and tomorrow at work because I have Friday off

How I wish we would be out of debt faster so I wouldn't stress so much about TTC#2 and how I am 34 and not getting any younger.

Are you renting a Symphony?  If so, you will absolutely love it...

I'm sorry you're having a hard time and that your mom isn't more sympathetic.  My  mom is the same way.  She had three kids and worked full-time so if I ever say anything all I hear is about how at least I have a husband who helps whereas she claims my father never did anything with us kids.

How lovely a nap would be right about now.

I am thinking about everything that needs to be done to my house to make it sellable.

That i need to find a place that will deliver the converter kit for the girls crib so we can set up the bed in the spare bedroom.  Also to make the room look like a bedroom and therefore, sellable.

1. How nice it will be if DH and I can retire in our mid-50s, but what that means we have to do in terms of saving and paying things off.  (The idea is that we'd still find "fun" PT jobs to stay busy, have splurge money for trips and to spoil the grandkids we hope to have, and have some income to hopefully put off dipping into our retirement savings until we're closer to our 60s.  Also neither of us is planning on Social Security or Medicare being around by that time.)

2. How excited I am that Spring is here so we can play with the kids outside.  It will also be easier this summer when we go up to my parents' "cottage" (when my grandpa passed away, he left my mom is house in his will - the house is in a beach/vacation town, so we call it a cottage even though the house is in the middle of town) with two toddlers instead of a young toddler and an infant, like last year.

3. How pissed off I am at my SIL for being so mad at us that her 6 week old DD is sick and she blames our kids for getting them sick.  And apparently DH and I haven't shown any "care or concern" about her DD's state of illness.  (Although DH has called and texted to see how her DD is doing.  Funny thing is she seems to forget about the lack of "care and concern" they showed when our DS was 2 days old and had an IV in his head and had a spinal tap-type procedure because he had a high white blood cell count.)  SIL and her H voluntarily watched our kids on March 10, and her kids got sick a few days later.  Our kids have had perpetually runny noses for a few weeks before that.  (We even said when we dropped the kids off, that if they wanted to back out of watching them because they had runny noses, we wouldn't be upset.)  Of course, our DD came down with a fever the evening following when SIL watched the kids.  She is a SAHM and barely takes the kids out of the house, so to her (and I'm not generalizing about SAHMs, this is specific to my SIL), our kids are horrible, germy daycare kids.  Now I can't wait for her family to move away in a few months so we don't expose her kids to germs.  And if we ever go to visit them, we will wait until their youngest is at least 2 years old and then we'll stay in a hotel.

LibraryChica:

Oranges. Seriously, how some oranges are easier to peel than others and how it would be great if this info was on the bin in the store.

I obviously need deeper thoughts. 

Navel oranges are the easiest to peel.

Nora's 1st birthday is in 3 weeks, and her birthday party is the week after that. I have soooo much to do to get ready for her party that I don't even know where to start.

This teacher is on spring break, and yet I'm more tired than during a regular work week due to Nora's eye surgery and spring cleaning. I need sleeep!!

I'm thinking about selling our rental condo.  It is such a time/money suck, and the tenants are interested in purchasing.  If we sell, we'll take a loss, but we'll get enough money out of the sale to pay off a 2nd mortgage on another rental.  We will be in a much better financial position if we dump this anchor.  I really, really hope it works out.

I'm thinking that I'd rather be at the beach with DD on this awesome spring day, and not sitting in my office.

I'm thinking that I'm having a hard time wrapping my head and arms around my new job responsibilities, and that I'm frustrated that I haven't met with my boss since taking everything over 4 weeks ago.  I'm also frustrated that he has postponed our meeting until the end of next week.

I'm thinking I'm glad it's Thursday!  One more day!
