Give me your 10 things for Tuesday!

tdmklm · August 2012

1. My assistant is annoying the crap out of me. Come to think of it, I wish she could literally annoy the crap out of me since I've been constipated. At least I would benefit somehow.

2. Last night's class was the clustereff of the century. First, said assistant decided she didn't have to be at work. Ok, to be fair, she asked, at 4:30, whether she could leave at 5. Do I want to deal with a sulking assistant during a class? No. She should have been, I don't know, professional. She's leaving in a couple of weeks, so she's checked out.

3. The elevator didn't work, and we have someone who's disabled in the class. Great.

4. The fire alarm went off during the class. Three times. Apparently, they decided it was a good idea to test it when we had 33 people in the building without telling anyone. Thanks. *eyeroll*

5. J is... AMAZING. I could AW him all day, but I'll spare you. Smile

6. I wish we could decide on a board so everyone could be in the same place again.

7. We are seriously reconsidering this TTC business. It makes me really sad.

8. I've been having a hard time lately emotionally. I miss my best friend and really resent her for committing suicide.

9. We need to paint our house. Color suggestions, anyone? I want orange. K is having none of it. Stick out tongue

10. We are taking J to the doctor today. His eye is just not getting better.

9. We need to paint our house. Color suggestions, anyone? I want orange. K is having none of it.

The outside? Or a certain room inside? If the outside, what style is your house?

2moms2twins · August 2012

1) i have been up since 2am - S woke up screaming so much she actually woke up L and well I apparently stayed up worked and tried to build a free website and now bumping - I WANT BREAKFAST

2) i really get annoyed that M can just lay back down and poof is out sound asleep hard and fast ... err i find it annoying and yes I am jealous about that and yes i did wake her up twice just cuz i was pissed that she can just fall back asleep like its nothing !!!

3) i have a carb monster and he is KILLING ME. and i am hungry right now and i want a sausage mc muffin with cheese and egg - keep in mind i am a vegetarian and I also want a bowl of peanut butter captain crunch and a cup of noodle and so many other carby carb things !!!

4) we have ants and i am a big fat sissy pants with ants.... I hate them HATE THEM . Not scared but they just overwhelm me tiny lil frackers. I think because they scatter and there are so many of them and I HATE ANTS ...

5) everything i have been posting or a lot of it has been in the voice of the Greys anatomy chick Meridith so weird... I'M TIRED... have not watched that show since the Asian chick ( forget her name ) is with that MC military red head guy

6)i think people on other boards i post on dont like me ( they dont know me but rarely get replies) but i bounce around a lot ...

7) this post may make me seem a lil creepy - and so negative today or angry or something not my normal happy self.

8) i really want a son ... love my girls LOVE EM but i want a son - perhaps my narcissism - i just feel bad that my (LASTNAME ) is ending if my grandmother who is a holocaust survivor goes then there is only my dad and uncle to continue our LAST NAME - she is not doing so well

9) 8 will pretty much devastate me as I always pay homage because if it was not for her I would not be typing this right now - is that a crazy perspective who thinks like that- well i just dont want her to suffer and she has LITERALLY BEEN Through hell and back ...

10) GAH - my apologies for this not happy post ... should i just try to go back to sleep .. i think its way too late now . COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE

2moms2b · August 2012

1. I have been sleeping like crap. I go to bed at 10 and wake up around 2am for a potty break then toss and turn til 4am. Time for another potty break and then I finally pass back out around 5:30 only to have the alarm go off at 7.

2. I had to go back into the field for work and man I was so not ready for that. If it was fall it would be no big deal but at 110 degrees it is completely unacceptable.

3. I am back to doctors appointments every 2 weeks instead of every week for a pelvic exam. Pelvic rest has been lifted!

4. My mom surprised us with cribs. Well now they have arrived so I feel now like I really need to get moving on their room.

5. I think M is upset over our NT scan and the techs sex guess of B being a boy. I told her it's just a guess and even if correct A could still be a girl. She really wants a girl (although she will be very happy with them healthy).

6. She has been using our two boy names and even changed the middle names. I think this is her way of adjusting to the possibility of two boys. It makes me laugh.

7. I need to get those non-slip things you put on the bottom of rugs. The dogs jump on the rug and it will slide and knock my little table over generally spilling a drink or breaking the glass.

8. I want caffeine! Since my kidney infection I have completely abstained from it. I think this weekend I may cave but I want to get completely through with my medication.

9. I love watching bra.vo

10. I am so confused on this other board that people speak of. I don't know that I could personally keep up with multiple boards.

JGY · August 2012

1. This is going to be a super-stressful few weeks. S's Dad and Uncle are here remodeling our 2nd floor. And while we are unendingly grateful for it, it's still hard because they are very difficult people to communicate with, and we feel like we never know how to help. And they keep absolutely NO consistent schedule so even just planning meals (one way that I KNOW I can help) is difficult.

2. The puppy is still a complete handful. He has now taken to chewing/eating all of the most expensive and/or most sentimentally important items in our home. And he manages to do this WHILE being watched like a hawk. It's unbelievable.

3. I've had a pretty sudden disappearance of all of my 1st trimester symptoms, so I'm taking my Midwife up on his offer of another ultrasound. Just waiting for them to call back this morning so I can schedule it. Hopefully for some time this week!

4. I'm 100% frustrated with insurance companies in general, our healthcare system, and this VERIFI test that was recommended for me due to my age. It's so incredibly complicated, but to sum it up I am basically now calling my insurance company AGAIN (they actually are really great, I love our coverage typically) and asking them to confirm that they will please NOT cover this test. It's amazing. If they deny it, I pay $200 flat. If they don't submit to insurance, have to pay $495. If they DO cover part of it, I could end up paying over $600. WHAAAAA???

5. On to happy things ... having never been a "Sweets" person in my life, I am now finding that I REALLY enjoy dessert. It's kind of fun, but I know I need to put a limit on it.

6. We might be able to fit a tub in the 2nd floor bathroom we're adding. Wow!!

7. My Mom, and S's Mom, are so super excited about this baby that they can't stop telling people. It's pretty hilarious, and I'm glad we don't get too stressed about it. I can't wait until we feel really comfortable and can start telling most of our friends.

8. My boss has finally moved forward with posting to hire someone to add to my team. I'm so happy and relieved. And mostly I am happy for my employees because they have been carrying the lion's share of the day to day workload and really need the help.

9. I just realized that if I deliver on or after my due date, I might be able to sneak in a week-long trip to be with my parents in CT right at the end of maternity leave. And it would be awesome because it would technically be summer, and the baby and I could lounge at the lake all day.

10. I think I'm going to need some maternity pants soon.

Meegs10.13.06 · August 2012

1. I'm at work today, since I am off tomorrow for my birthday! Woo!

2. Though honestly, I'm so damn distracted today, I might as well not be here.

3. My coworkers are taking me to lunch though... a fun Irish pub place nearby. I can't wait for Sheppard's Pie!

4. I can't wait to see what Trav has planned for us for tomorrow. And this weekend. Eep!

5. I'm doing a giveaway right now, and one of the people who signed on to help promote it hasn't posted the info yet (it was supposed to go live yesterday). I'm really annoyed but can't really do much about it. What can't people just do what they say they're going to do?

6. Finished week 7, day 1 of c25k last night! It's awesome how far I've come (CT too!).

7. I really enjoyed this article: https://bionicmamas.com/2012/08/08/falling-lessons/ I definitely try to do this, and I hope I can continue to be strong enough to stand back and let Gwen fall sometimes.

8. Just over 2 weeks until we go camping. Can't wait.

9. Just over 24 hours until cookie cake... Wink

10. Okay, I should try and get something done!

2brides · August 2012

1. I decided to skip my 10am meeting. It is always such a waste of time.

2. Sunday I looked up at my oil change sticker and was shocked I was overdue. I have driven 3200 miles in 7 weeks. No, we didn't go on any trips. That is just me going from home to camp to work and back - plus whatever we do on the weekends. Holy crap.

3. Friday night Grayson was being a PITA - rude, disrespectful, etc - and I sent him to his room telling him he was welcome to join us after he got his pjs on and was able to be polite and kind. 15m later I walked by his room finding him stark naked with this pitiful look on his face. I went in and scooped him up and rather than fighting me, he just melted into me. We sat on the floor of his room for 20 minutes while I held him. At one point our breathes were in sync. It is one of those memories I will hold onto forever. After we held each other, he came out of his room the sweetest kid ever. It just reminded me, sometimes when the kids are being a pill, they just need to be held.

4. Evidently when L says she will take the kids to camp, she will literally drive them to camp. But I still need to get them up/teeth brushed/dressed, lunches packed, and camp bags by the door. Eh....whatever. At least I got to work on time this morning.

5. I came in to 15 missed calls (I was out yesterday) but I haven't checked my VM. I am scared to see what awaits me.

6. jay - L is the same way. She can fall asleep at the drop of a hat....and it takes a force of nature to wake her. It used to bug the $)*# out of me that when the kids would wake during the night, she had no idea - and when she did wake she would be back asleep in seconds. Thankfully, it is rare that they wake any longer.

7. I need to find something to entertain the kids this weekend. After last weekend, I need low cost options!

8. My head is pounding. My Advil and coffee aren't doing the trick.

9. I am so annoyed with one of my co-workers. She doesn't respond to e-mails, she takes forever to do anything, and they are bringing her down here full time. Fabulous.

10. I have only had this open for an hour. Not too bad for me.

7. The fabric store is calling my name today. I need to pick up some fabric for a custom order quilt.

YAY! Big Smile

viciouskittie · August 2012

1. I'm a dirty lurker but thought I'd come out of the shadows for my very first TTT.

2. I feel like I know you guys really well because I lurk here (and the other board) daily. I feel a little weird about it sometimes, so I'll introduce myself.

3. Basic info: My name is Victoria, I've been married to my wife for 2 years, together for 5. I'm 26, she's 25. We have been talking about having kids since like...before we started actually dating and are hoping to actually start TTC this fall, with me (hopefully!) carrying first. We've had our intial appointments, blood tests, baseline testing etc all done.

4. I live in Canada. I work for an insurance company underwriting personal property & auto insurance - I swear I'm not the bad guy! I really love my job, the people I work with and for. I don't love the pay or the lack of upward prospects here. Some days I think I should look for another company to work for, but I am hoping to get pregnant soon and would feel guilty taking maternity leave shortly after starting somewhere new.

5. Shortly after M and I started dating we moved across the country. We've been planning a move home since we got here, which is another reason I feel like I shouldn't really move companies - when I'm ready to move home in hopefully a year or so, I can transfer back East to our Atlantic office and keep my job and my salary.

6. I'm a big hippy. I always joke my ideal birthing experience would be a water birth in the middle of a field under moonlight - but honestly, that's not far off what I would want! I am hoping to have a water birth in a birthing centre, I'm committed to an intervention-free birth and we will be babywearing/breastfeeding/cloth diapering. Am I putting the cart before the horse? Maybe just a little...

7. I am on a weight loss journey through WW. So far, I've lost 29 pounds in just under 6 months with no weeks of going up - I've always held steady or lost. I'm not doing the groups or anything, just following the (old) points program and using an app on my iPhone. I'm still faaaaar away from my ideal weight, but happy to be making progress.

8. My youngest sister (of 2 - T is 24 and K is 20) had a baby in April. He was a bit of a surprise baby but we are so blessed to have him in our lives, even if I don't see him very often for being so far away. My wife is even his godmother! In September K is getting married, so we'll be travelling back East for a third time in 12 months.

9. Every time I go home, I get more and more home sick when I come back. If someone would just buy me a house I would be set - any takers? Lol!

10. Phew! I can't believe I made it through all ten! Hopefully next time it will be a little less AW...

butterflygrooves · August 2012

1. Day 2 of Mental Health services for Owl, I'm so happy to be getting help.

2. It's picture day at school today, please don't let there be super fake cheesy smiles from my kids.

3. Praying has kept me sane lately and has really helped me with my struggles.

4. Owl is going through another no eating phase and I feel like I have the tools to get through it this time.

5. Apple is teething, this means she is a grouchy mess.

6. The weather needs to cool down, it's been at least 104 everyday for the last 2 weeks.

7. The season is changing, I can see it in the golden glow of sunlight on my wall in the morning. This maes me very happy.

8. Any plans for kid Halloween costumes yet?

9. I'm hungry.

10. I want to make a quilt, TMM we need to chat.

Jazibel · August 2012

1. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this parenting thing I have a day like yesterday when by 1:30pm there were dirty cloth diapers in every room (well the two changing stations), a crib that needed to be stripped, and a baby (who hadn't napped all day) covered in poop...

2. On that note I skyped with my mom who stayed at home with us and admitted that this "staying home" thing is far from easy.

3. Of course I love every moment of it. Despite the fact that I feel like I'm squeezing chores and my personal business/relaxation and care into the minutes when he's napping and doesn't need to be held, fed, burped, entertained, cuddled, changed...

4. My parents are coming to visit on Thursday for 10 days!!! Yikes. Our longest visit since I've moved out has been maybe 4 or 5 days when I visited them.

5. Their visit is well timed since EV will be on a business trip next week on the East Coast (and visiting her Grandma who is in the hospital).

6. I love our son sooooo much. He amazes me everyday. He's started smiling and cooing. And even laughs a throaty "hehe". He's a big guy weighing 11lbs the last time our midwife was over. That said he's already in 3 month and 6 month clothes...

7. In an effort to be able to stay home and raise little K (and hopefully future kids), I am starting a business. I'm super excited and nervous about it. Trying to carve out time to get it off the ground has been challenging..

8. Grad school starts back up next week for both EV and I. (Ummmm - not sure how that will work - but I'm sure we can do it...Or at least I hope so)

9. We've gone back and forth about what to do with our crazy 6 year old Weimeraner. But decided to bend even more and let her back into the bedroom (she's been whining non-stop through the night and destroying things - like our 1 year old Eco-foam queen mattress we were going to sell on Craigslist)... As frustrating as it is we just can't give her up - even to a great organization like the Wiem Rescue (though I did contact them to find out options....) ;-P Hopefully month 2 of the prozac the vet prescribed will help.

10. Yay new people!! :-)

leapgirl8 · August 2012

1. We quit swaddling cold turkey last night. The kids look so sweet in their sleep sacks.

2. We have a pediatrician appointment this afternoon to check weights, since she wasn't happy with their gaining last time. I'm just not worried about them. They're obviously healthy.

3. We're going to talk to her about quitting the schedule (feeding every 3 hours around the clock). I'm tired of waking them up mid-sleep-cycle.

4. My mom came over yesterday when I was feeling very stressed out and she let me vent all over her and then came back later to bring dinner. Sniff. She's the best.

5. I got my hair cut a couple of weeks ago and it's the best cut I've ever had. I usually bop around from place to place, but I will be going back there forever.

6. I wonder how long it is going to take me to get strong enough to do real push-ups. I don't mind that I haven't gotten there yet, but it would be nice to have some idea of what to expect.

7. Job hunting sucks.

8. Our best gay boyfriends, who had been together for 8 years, broke up last week. I think I am more upset about it than either of them.

9. Both of the kids love to sit up, but they can't do it by themselves and I've read too many scary stories about those Bumbos. They will sit in the corner of the couch for a little while but really they want to sit on someone's lap - which is cute, but not a feasible option all the time

10. Off to make coffee.

2mommiesinoh · August 2012

1) I am lonely. In a house with two other adults and my toddler, I am lonely.

2) My mom is off on Saturday (unusual for her) this week and we made plans to go shopping after Ky's tumbling class. I think it will be a nice distraction.

3) Since she is off on Saturday it means she works Sunday which means I am home all by myself (Ann will have Ky)...I need to think of something to do or I might bake like a lot.

4) Ky cried the last two times she had to leave with Ann. It break my heart. She jsut kept telling me, "No wanna go dada. Stay mama. No wanna go."

5) #4 worries me. I mean why does she not want to go? I know she is only two but still...

6) I have unknown plans tonight with an friend of mine I was previously not allowed to talk to and they are still up in the air since it looks like rain.

7) Friend from number 6 likes to say we have a "not a relationship relationship" and this really bothers me.

8) My friend K and I have dinner plans for The Melt.ing Pot on Saturday night. Neither of us has ever been and I am super excited!

9) Loking at my housing options in my price range depresses me.

10) I ordered a new lunch box at a party on Saturday night (my old one was monogrammed with my married last name) and I am excited for it to come in. The pattern is these little birds and is super cute!

8. Any plans for kid Halloween costumes yet?

Ky actually has two that were given to us form older cousins. One is an elepahnt and very fleecy and warm. The other is some fairy princess thing that is cute but may not be warm enough. OH Halloween weather can be anywhere from 70s and warm to snow on the ground Stick out tongue

seattlekari · August 2012

1. 2mommiesinoh...re: hard transitions for Ky...been there, thinking of you. Right Hug I hope she finds her groove with it soon.

2. E lost her other top front tooth this weekend. She looks so dang cute.

3. I'm having a small housewarming party this weekend. I hate that people don't RSVP. I am making snacks and buying wine/beer people!

4. Anyone have any tasty/easy app recipes they would like to share?

5. I wish someone would make an executive decision about the boards so we can all be in one place. I miss seeing everyone!

6. On Sunday A officially asked me to be her girlfriend.

7. This was after a month or so of us trying to keep it casual since her work is all-consuming and we live a good 45 min apart. We decided we're just going to take it slow and see how it goes. There is a chance her work situation could change in the future and she told me she's seriously considering a change so she can have a life outside of work.

8. She makes me smile and laugh a lot and she is so very sweet.

9. Yes, I'm gushing...sorry.

10. I hope everyone has a good week!

EratMama · August 2012

1. A K5 spot opened up at our first choice school--so both girls are starting Montessori in the fall--around the corner, they can walk together

2. We haven't told them yet, and they might not be so thrilled about the uniforms

3. Halloween Costumes? Why yes, I do have ideas! We were given/lent two elephant costumes that fit Pumpkin & Carrot perfectly. Zucchini is into being the elephant trainer, or ringmaster.

4. My dad thinks I should go as the pooper sweeper.

5. I have uploaded lots of pics to shutterfly, but haven't orderd any in m.o.n.t.h.s.

6. We were subpoenaed to testify in court in two weeks.

7. We are having big-sit-down meeting with lawyers and biomom tomorrow. We are going to need bloody marys after.

8. Carrot had SO MUCH FUN at her birthday party. It was her first party ever, and she said she can't wait to "turn 6 and have another."

9. Her old foster mom was invited, told Carrot she was coming, & didn't show. Yeah, you are in it for the kids. [sarcasm font]

10. the girls new school has Rosetta stone and I am excited to try to use it.

thiswillbe · August 2012

1. We were in a car accident this morning. Guy hit us from behind on the Beltway, nearly at-speed. My back, neck hurts, as does S's. SO GRATEFUL the kiddos are still rear-facing (they seem fine).

2. I wish I had more time to keep up with this board.

3. I had a fun/exciting work event today. I'm a total geek!

4. I have to finish a BUNCH of management training, and I'm dragging my heels on it. I know I'll regret that tomorrow when I'm scrambling to finish it.

5. T minus 15 minutes to go-home time! I don't think we've gone directly home after work since we've been in the new house... tonight could be the night!!

6. I probably just jinxed myself with my #5. I hope not, though, because I really want to get the kids' beds set up today.

7. I am loving the ABC theme in the kids' room, but worried it might be overkill. Oh well.

8. My office door has been closed since my 3 PM conference call, and I don't even care that I haven't opened it back up. People can knock, right? ;-)

9. This is the fastest I've ever done TTT! Stream-of-consciousness *does* work! :-P

10. I am thinking that car wreck + crappy air mattress (again) is going to make for a painful wake-up tomorrow. We SO need to get our bed moved over!!

...and a bonus one...

11. I love my wife very much, even though we don't always agree on everything.

hlke · August 2012

1. I tried to check out the new mobile format people have mentioned, but it looks the same on my phone.

2. I was hoping a new mobile format might convince people to come back to The Bump...I really don't like the two boards situation. It feels cliquey, and I like that on The Bump new people can join our community. I'd be a sad panda if I hadn't found this group.

3. Finally, maybe, getting into a work groove. Won a fun sounding contract with a good role for me, so I'm excited about that.

4. We're going to visit my family this week, and I'm super excited.

5. We are doing this trip without taking any time off work, which I'm now regretting a bit.

6. I haven't slept well the past few nights. My brain isn't working very well. I need a nap.

7. We're in the TWW, but so much stuff went wrong this cycle that it barely feels suspenseful - we're pretty sure C's not pregnant.

8. C needs bloodwork done while we're away. I have to call around and find a lab. Doing all the TTC legwork is starting to wear on me a little.

9. I have to finish (uhh...more like start) sewing Eid gifts tonight. And decide on something (small) to get my sister.

10. Gotta get back to work and FORCE myself to get through this thing I need to finish before I go.

Congrats and good luck! I decided to lose weight before TTC, also on WW. It's a great program -- I lost 85 lbs (in about 2 years). Sadly I have gained back 20 lbs of TTC stress-weight. Sad

2) i really get annoyed that M can just lay back down and poof is out sound asleep hard and fast ... err i find it annoying and yes I am jealous about that and yes i did wake her up twice just cuz i was pissed that she can just fall back asleep like its nothing !!!

Ha Ha, This is my DW. I have never meet ANYONE that can fall asleep so fast. I mean out like someone flipped a switch!

pixie76 · August 2012

1. This week is going to be a full one and having 3 hours of sleep each night for the past two nights is not helping.

2. DS looks like he is getting a cold which is really going to suck because he has his first school performance on Friday. We are really looking forward to seeing it as he has been walking around the house and spontaneously starts singing (more like babble has he is speech delayed) and doing new gestures that I've been told are in the songs they are preforming.

3. I really would like to get a pedi and a cute summer dress to go to a concert (Diana Krall) that DW is taking me to at a beautiful winery on Thursday night but I still feel yucky as I have not really made a huge effort to loose the last 15 pounds from being pregnant. If only it was winter and not 100 degree's out!

4. I am learning a lot from my neighbor about cooking gluten free and dairy free foods. We have no allergies, but she is an amazing cook and I seem to be the only one that volunteer's to bring these items to school when there is an event.

5. Found the PERFECT house. It is 3 miles from where we are now, which puts us in the next town over, which puts us in a different school district which = not an option. It kills me that this same house 3 miles closer would cost about $175,000 more.

6. I need to start planning the babies 1st birthday. Man where did the time go. Thinking of doing it at this cute pumpkin patch in the vineyards that has tractor/hay rides, mazes, etc..... My children all seem to like to be born on or near a holiday which makes birthday's extra fun!

7. I have been waiting for it to cool down so I can take the kids for a walk. Looks like it's about that time.

8. I have no desire to cook dinner - looks like tonight will be a delivery night.

9. Yeah, it's walk time, these kids are getting restless and kinda witchy....

10. Hope everyone is having a great week!

Congrats and good luck! I decided to lose weight before TTC, also on WW. It's a great program -- I lost 85 lbs (in about 2 years). Sadly I have gained back 20 lbs of TTC stress-weight.

Thanks! And congrats to you too! I was pretty skeptical before I started, especially since I don't work out (at all, lol) but by consistently tracking my points I've been really happy with the results. Having an iPhone app to track my points is really helpful too. I'm sorry you've gained some stress weight, stress does very...interesting...things to one's body.

1. I love that this board is so active today!

2. K and I got into an argument today. We 'fight' about 2 times a year. It lasted all of 3.5 min, 5 min later we were sitting at the dining room table, talking about what was bothering us. We could get a gold medal in communicating.

3. Water chestnuts are gross.

4. N is night weaned!!! He hasn't nursed during the night in NINE nights!! Fingers crossed my period comes back asap.

5. We are having our vials shipped fm CA this week!

6. We rented a cottage on a lake in NH for the rest of the week. We leave tomorrow morning. I can't wait.

7. The area is a place K went often as a kid. It's been my experience that revisiting childhood places never live up to the memories. I hope I am wrong, she's been talking about going back for years

8. I am so excited about all the new people!

9. N is adorable, adorable, adorable. I could eat him he's so damn cute. I love 10 months. He has his personality, his sense of humor, it's hilarious. I smile nonstop when he is awake. His new thing is to say 'yeah' to anything we ask him. I don't know where he got it, or what it means, exactly but it cracks us up all day long.

10. And he's absolutely scrumptious. I can hardly stand it.

1. It's still technically tuesday here, I'm a little slow and new, lots of new people today.

2. I had a migraine all day today, causing most of the slowness

3. It was supposed to be a super productive day but having a migraine did not help, I got nothing done and am now having to work at night, not fun

4. I wish I knew why I get migraines. I've had them since I was a teen and there is no end in sight. I've tried everything, food, sleep, vitamins, stress, there just is no common denominator.

5. Finally sent potential KD an email over the weekend. He responded surprisingly well. Have a convo set up for next weekend. Hope it goes well.

6. Although I wasn't nervous to send the email I am now nervous that he could actually say no

7. I officially got a job today, the last thing we were waiting for before TTC

8. The wife and I have been together for 4 years, married for 2. We both just graduated with our masters, moved to our home state (still not sure it was the best choice) and both got jobs.

9. My degree is in public service and hers is in social work. Sometimes I wonder if one of us should have succumbed to capitalism and pursued a more financially lucrative career. It is going to be difficult to buy a house and have babies with 2 nonprofit salaries.

10. We are living in a trailer on my parents land until we save up enough for a house. It's been an interesting experience to say the least. When those dollars start adding up I hope we feel that is was worth it.
