I ate three bowls of rocky road ice cream yesterday. Yum!
I want a 2nd child really bad. I don't feel like our family is complete. I fear it will never happen though....
I spent a lot of time at work this week going to coffee or lunch and meeting with my coworkers and volunteers. I am a peer support person at work, so I am allowed to spend time talking to people having problems or who need an ear....but mostly I was just hanging out with friends as I was on total vacation brain. Hey, I was being supportive as I was hanging out, right??
I've been looking for a new job, but it is so hard to find something that I am qualified for and pays as much as I make now. My work week? It has consisted of planning my cousin's shower and looking for sundresses. I mean I should be happy I am getting paid to do this, lol, but really there are a millions things at home I could be doing!
Also, I saw The Help last night and cried like a baby! Such a good movie!

My story as well. I'm afraid of how long it can last like this.
This is more of a rant but I am SO fed up with my sister. She just got back from Iraq a month ago and is back to her immature selfish ways. She has a 2 year old daughter (she's a single parent as a result of a casual friends with benefits military relationship) that my parents raised for the entire year she was gone. She has barely spent any time with her and has been gone on a 10 day trip with her fiance to Colorado while my niece has been at home with my parents. We are going to see the Red Sox on Saturday and Sunday so my mom and I each bought a set of 6 tickets. So basically my mom is buying tickets for DH and I one day and I'm buying tickets for her and my dad the other day. So it's even. Well, my sister hasn't paid anybody for her tickets. And probably won't. I have no clue how to approach her and mention the fact that it'd be nice if she would pay me the $150 that I spent on her two tickets. She likes to flaunt the fact that she has such a large bank account because she was in Iraq getting untaxed income for a year and didn't have to pay bills and stuff while she was there. She barely paid my parents enough each month to cover daycare for my niece. So ridiculous.

Here's mine.I bought two maternity shirts on my credit card for a total of $50 and didn't tell DH. I ALWAYS talk to him about purchases since money is tight with the room remodel. He's been on my butt because I had just bought some shirts a few weeks before along with a few baby things. Ugh. I feel horrible!
Mine is - I ate like a hippo yesterday! I ate 1.5 doughnuts for bfast, then had a taco salad AND chips with queso, then some lays potato chips, then went to an event at SAFECO which included a hot dog, salad, and chips & dip, then I ate a cup full of popcorn, then I went home & ate a small slice of lasagna & some grapes.
Phew...that's a LOT! No wonder I'm extra nauseus today.

I'm buying an entertainment center tonight without DH's permission. I also had three venti coffees from Starbucks yesterday. =/ I think I have an addiction to coffee.
DH wants to buy a house and settle down here in WA. We have been looking at house to buy and everything. I get so excited and can totally picture us living here while the kid(s) go to school. BUT then this wave of sadness comes over me and I get depressed that we have nobody here. I want so bad for us to hear back from an East Coast job and move closer to my family. I want LO to be able to visit grandma on the weekends. But so many people apply to those jobs. And we wait and wait and wait to hear a not accepted or we wait just to wait some more. So is being there worth us not buying a home for X years? I don't want us to throw away our money to rent for such a long time. We've already been renting here in WA for 2 years. What to do..... This is more of a Help! then a FFFC... I needed to get it out though! Any advice?

I'm no expert, but I'd be hesitant to buy right now unless I was sure that's I'd be in the house for many years. With the market so unstable, you might be throwing away even more money in buying a house. It's tough to be a renter for so long, I'm sure and even tougher to be away from family.

I watched male strippers with my mom and Grandma on Wend.
I spent a lot more at Victoria's Secret than I planned to.
What? I needed new bras! So clearly I needed 4 of them.
And of course new panties.
...and a sexy thing or two to spice up the baby-making sex!
Best part is, I get home, and look on their website, only to see how much I would've saved if I'd ordered online. >.<
