    I'm not doing any work right now. I should be but I'm not. I don't even care. Colt is still waking up 2-3 times a night and sometimes I've checked out of work before I even get in.

    Also, my Dad brought over Vietnamese food last night. It was my first time having authentic Vietnamese. I'm so glad I'm alone in the office because I have been blowing this sh!t up. I don't actually KNOW what I ate last night but FML. I was so bloated that I wasn't hungry until lunch today.

  • I hate how small our condo is and everything gets cluttered *so* fast!

    Also, I'm listening to Dave Ramsey on financial peace. Anyone else listen to him? If so, did you succeed? We don't have credit card debt, but I'm afraid somewhere down the line I'm going to have to sell the car and everything I own >.>

  • We are seriously thinking of keeping our move out date a secret from MIL.  We're staying with her until we settle on our house at the end of July.  She leaves for Colorado for a week the day after we settle.  We're planning to move out that weekend and not tell her until she comes home.  Not because we've had problems, it truly has been great living with her.  DH just wants to do it to see her reaction.

  • I sent Asher to my mom's house today so I could get stuff done around the house and get us ready to go out of town this weekend. I have not done anything yet except Bump and Facebook. Also, I just ate 5 tacos. FIVE. I had to pump since Asher's not here and pumping makes me SOOOO hungry. As soon as I'm done pumping, I need to eat ASAP or I'll starve to death!

  • okay MIL vent here: she is driving me crazy for 2 reasons (well more than that but these two at the moment) lets see if I can sum it up. She has some medical issues that are life long and cause her alot of pain. I get that, but what I get upset about is this

    1. She doesnt follow doctors orders, she refuses to eat healthy (I offered to cook for her) she refuses to walk more to keep her muscles active so they dont hurt when she has to walk..it goes on and on, but yet she complains all the time about this stuff, but she wont do anything about it

    2. She doesnt follow her prescriptions, she take pain medicaiton, she takes double the dose, because she says it just isnt strong enough. The doctor has tried to whine her off of it, to try a different medication but she has all these friends who give her, their left over meds. So she runs out of medication before her prescription is ready to refill then calls crying becuase she is out and in pain.

    *this is really upsetting me because I lost my aunt 2 weeks ago because she "overdosed" by taking 2 different pain medications that shouldnt be mixed. I am scared for her life but cant figure out how to get it through her head FOLLOW THE DOCTORS ORDERS!

    "You can't catch me, gay thoughts!" Hm, maybe they did.

     

     

    Oh, and as for tacos? You haven't eaten a taco until you've eaten a fried chicken taco with queso on it. You'd die of delicious. Then I'd use the defibrillator on you so you could have another. Oh, and the one with mango? This place is the REAL reason I still live in Austin.

    I want a taco really bad right now. Thanks, ladies!

    Sparks, I really wish you could cut ties with your MIL, she seems like a crazy train.

    Yesterday DH brought home my fave kind of ice cream and a card that he and DS filled out together (he let Paul scribble in it, basically) that said how much he appreciates me. I really love him Big Smile

    I have no desire to work today.  I have been bumping and web surfing A LOT. 

    I really want one of those tacos - there is NO good mexican food by me, the best ones I have had up here are the ones I have made at home and they aren't that good.

  • I had a three hour interview for my dream job and have been waiting to get a call from hr for two weeks. I finally got in touch with them yesterday and the position was offered to someone else. I am so depressed from job hunting that I literally cry about once a day. So today I'm working on my craft room instead. I can't work up the emotional energy it takes to get told that I'm not good enough again today. Also, Kitty has refused to go down for a nap with out screaming BLOODY MURDER for half an hour to two hours first for the past three weeks and I'm starting to lose my shitt. I feel like I'm thirty second from shaking her and I have to put her down and walk out of the room way more often than I think I should. Sorry about typos, I'm bumping from my phone.

  • I love tacos, but I love chalupa's from Taco Bell even more.
    I love the use the smiley as much as possible in my post, especially Party!!! <- that one.


    I'm filling out Charlie's baby book right now and realizing I forgot a bunch of date (laughing, smiling etc) so I am going through my phone and looking at pictures then ball-parking the date.

    My grammar and punctuation is atrocious.  I am sure there are a lot of people on here who cringe at my posts. I type in run on sentences then look back at the post with the intention of editing it and I never do. I am not an uneducated idiot, but I never did like grammar/english class. Geeked

    Sorry about the job. That really freaking sucks.

    Right before we were discharged from the hospital after Asher was born, my doctor told us, "it's normal to want to throw your baby across the room when you are frustrated, but it's not normal to throw your baby. So if you feel like you might, put him in his crib and walk away."

    I hope things start looking up for you soon!

    Thank you so much. You have no idea how much that helped. Also, right after I posted, I got a call for an interview for the hospital my bff from nursing school is working at...on the same floor and same shift! She's going to tell the manager about me before my interview, and I would be so happy working with her. I'm really hoping this one pans out.

We cut back on things we didnt need and stopped eating out as much. Making a budget and staying with it is what has helped us the most. We've been through two pay cuts, a pregnancy/birth and two moves since we started his plan. If we didnt have a budget in place we would have been screwed! We've only paid off a couple of small debts and now we have medical debt but it does work you just have to find a way that works best for you and stick to it! I never expected to have all my debt paid off in a year and we didnt get all "gazelle intense" as he puts it,  but we are still working to get it paid off and we will have it paid off by the end of 2013. I've been a SAHM the whole time and DH doesnt have a second job or anything, we feel that family time is more important than me going back to work or Dh having more jobs. It can be done without selling everything and living as minimalists. You just have to be willing to make changes in your spending habits, and do what works best for you and your financial situation. Oh and dont get frustrated if it doesnt all happen at once, it takes time to see the results of the changes you make. We figure as long as we are making progress in our debt we're doing something right.

  • Can anyone else feel when they ovulate? I sweat that's how hubby and I ended up getting pregnant because we just did it that night and voila! It feels like a sharp pain in one of your ovaries. Lasts about a day and then goes away. Why am I telling you this? Because it's freaking happening right now! Do you know how much I have not missed this crap?! Ugh.
