How are you?

How are you feeling July 2013?

I'm good, but this house work likes to multiply. Always chasing my tail. Planning out lunch then a playground adventure for the afternoon.

Feeling emotional about our move even though it's 4 months away. We just told all of our friends and there were tears. I'm also feeling ready to be done nursing because I really want to lose the baby weight finally. My goal is a year so here's hoping I can last til then!

Karebear6978 · March 2014

Feeling overwhelmed by homework, and i will b moving in the middle of the school semester. I cant wait to move though because our current place is shifty and we have psycho landlords. As far as being a mommy goes I freaking love it. Dd is such a doll and her personality comes out a little more every day

martyn17 · March 2014

Feeling a little stir crazy. DH is away, it's raining, and when I was driving the car yesterday the brakes didn't feel right. I really wanted us to get a new car before the old one gave out but now it looks we are going to be doing some desperate car buying

karen0477 · March 2014

Doing ok, feeling a little cranky with the older 2 kids who are being horrible at leaving their stuff lying around....I feel like I can never get my house clean, laundry done. I don't know how people do it!!

Doing fine today. It's supposed to be gorgeous out so I hope to take LO out to enjoy the weather a little bit. It's been so rainy/snowy/cold/nasty that I haven't had many days to take her out. Any suggestions? Maybe just the park?

I also will be tackling the clutter from when we moved in (last June, people!). It's been shifting around the house but I tired of the boxes and junk we don't need. We can't even use 2 of our bedrooms right now. Time to purge!!!

Also, I've officially started stressing out about what to get DH for his birthday in early May. I'm horrible at buying things and he tends to be interested in things I know nothing about. I'm thinking about a Braves t-shirt and maybe planning a baseball day out where we eat lunch at this sports/baseball bar and see a local team game.

elyse05 · March 2014

I'm trying to decide how I want my Sunday to go- productive (cleaning, paying bills, etc), or leisurely (reading a little and playing on the floor with LO), or focused (working on my photo-editing skills).

Choices.

gutsymama · March 2014

I think after having such a shitty month I kind of forgot how awesome Luke is when he feels good. It is just incredible how happy this kid is, and that makes everything in the world immensely better.

I have been starting to get some stuff together for his birthday party. I'm trying to just be excited about it, but it's probably going to be a weird day for me and I'm having all the feels.

Most of the time I'm very good at keeping everything together and at the very least pretending to be a normal person, but every now and then some of this stuff just breaks me. Yesterday I was having a great day and then saw somebody on TV placing an IV and I just lost it, completely out of nowhere. Like, I don't think I even made a cry face, I just made a surprised face with tears because I was like, wtf mimi, where did that come from?

fabk · March 2014

I am so tired and need a break. I think A's ear infection is back. He isn't himself at all. I also think he is going through a growth spurt since he eats ALL THE TIME. Hence why I am constantly hangry. Tired and hangry are not a good combo.
I really want to spend a day sewing. Hopefully this week. Its a release for me and since I don't want to bake (my main relaxation method but am off sugar right now) is my only option.

jennipalmer · March 2014

Emotional is a good word I borrowed from @stephyfaith‌. DH is talking to command on Monday because they are running him like crazy for possibility of deploying again. If they don't make same changes his current schedule will have him missing Liam's first birthday, my first mother's day with Liam, DH's first father's day, our first three wedding anniversarys and three years of birthdays for me and kids. It will also mess up our summer vacation plans

My room is a mess luckily house isn't to bad but I just don't have motivation and patience to listen to a fussy baby to really clean up my room.

pgermain11 · March 2014

Good! I had betas drawn on Tuesday of last week and they never called me back. I'm pretty pissed about it especially since almost a week later what the heck are they even worth?! I plan to bring it up to the doctor at my first appt. on April 10th.

Pink724 · March 2014

I just had an absolutely awesome meetup with the NYC gals and now am on the train home. I had two drinks and now I am zzzzzzzzzz

lancomechica · March 2014

@Silv3rlining‌ sorry you are having guilt. Do you have time to wait? I forget how old you are.
How many do you want to have?

Caitable25 · March 2014

Been a tough weekend. Ugly cried to my mom today when she asked me how I was. I just feel so defeated on the sleep front and so alone doing it. I know this will pass so I am trying to be patient just having one of those days.

Liam did start saying "mum" so that pretty much is the best thing ever. Granted he is talking to his puffs and random toys saying it but I will take it!

Melissa0926432 · March 2014

We are all sick over hear with colds. Guess which one of us is acting like they are dying (hint its the one that can actually take cold meds.... seriously DH you will be fine!)

I'm good.
Working on my paper...which is my pilot research proposal. I am supposed to be done with the proposal by end of April and defend this proposal end of May. Then send all irb stuff in by June and hopefully do the study in August. Analyze data and write up by October. I am looking forward to getting this done and out of the way.
I have to re-take a course in the fall which I took during my first tri and couldn't keep up because I was so sick.

I have huge presentations next week and I haven't prepared. :-/

KikiCohen · March 2014

We're ready for spring in the Kiki household. Today it has rained, sleeted, and snowed. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 65 degrees. Seriously?

Other than that, we're taking a lazy day today. We're watching movies, cuddling, and catching up on emails. And we're having tacos for dinner!

@Chunkymonkeylvr‌ wouldn't worry too much about it

friends are supposed to hear you out when fighting with men after drinking on an empty stomach. Thats in the code.

kaylakim · March 2014

I'm doing ok. This winter is really wearing on me. Just as soon as our snow finally melts we are supposed to be getting a huge blizzard with 10+ inches of snow tonight. Seriously?!?!?

DH has been "dying" of a man cold for about a week now and I'm about to NP him. Seriously, dude, get over it! We're all feeling sick but of course his is by far the worst.

I've also given up on housework. It's a never ending battle and I feel like it's not worth my time anymore.

On the upside, I only have 6 more weeks of work before I'm off for the summer!! WAHOO!! 3 whole months of chasing my kids around but not working. I'm sooooo freaking excited I could cry. Hurry up May!!

Cabin fever here too!

@jennipalmer‌ hope everything works out! Sounds stressful. I feel ya on the no motivation to clean thing...

Clyde013 · March 2014

Overall pretty good. But I can always find something to complain about

DenverBride2005 · March 2014

Doin okay. Had a good few days in the mountains--a few issues with DS1's behavior but he was out of his element and slightly off schedule, so I am going to do a better job prepping him for transitions and setting expectations (getting out the door has been a huge issue, as is behavior eating at restaurants, whch we normally only do once or twice a week). Between his puking and DS2's constipation we've had a lot of GI issues, so hope we will get past those soon.

valstulas · March 2014

I opened this thread thinking (hoping?) it was going to be a BFP announcement from an AW-ish lurker.

thegoodpotato · March 2014

Feeling quite a bit better today. I got an email late last night from my boss letting me know they are going to approve my 6 month unpaid leave (YAY!!!). And now the panic starts.

I will be talking to the people who own the space tomorrow, and have my DH come with me on a little tour probably Wednesday after work.

I have to order from two independent yarn dyers this week in order to get stock in for the end of May (anticipated opening date May 24th). So either I go ahead with the store or resign myself to having $4,000 worth of hand dyed yarn in my basement. I would be drawn and quartered by my husband.

Then paperwork, paperwork, paperwork! I've already got my business name approved, and I just need to register my business and start getting all my tax information and all those bureaucratic ducks in a row.

Having a background in Project Management, my brain is shrieking "CRITICAL PATH! CRITICAL PATH!" I think I need to do a few exercises in Work Breakdown Structures tonight and determine what needs to be done when to get this rolling.

I have that yawning feeling at the pit of my stomach.... but it's a happy, excited, scared feeling.

I honest to god can't believe I'm doing this.

I'm glad I've got the "safety net" of going back to work in November, but holy shit. I'm doing this. :O

:bz :-O

[Deleted User] · March 2014

Yay @thegoodpotato‌ !!! I've been thinking about you, but didn't want to pry. That's awesome news! Looking forward to all the updates about your fabulous new business adventures.

ljs4117 · March 2014

@thegoodpotato - awesome! Congrats! Yay!!!!

now I forget, what all sorts of things will you be selling? Very exciting

thegoodpotato · March 2014

@ljs4117‌ it's a yarn/knit/crochet store but I will be carrying notions as well, since there is a large quilting community in town.

I'm also getting furniture for people to come in and work on projects.

Also, we used to have a town funded/charity funded 'SEWcial' here in town that, due to restricted funding, has had to limit to 1 night a month instead of every Wednesday. So I figure I will open my store to the sewcial on Wednesday nights, and create some loyal customers (and maybe make a few sales on items people have forgotten).

I feel like barfing all over myself.

bobcee · March 2014

I was feeling better before I started our taxes. Right now a rough estimate shows we owe about 4k. Ugh.

fabk · March 2014

@thegoodpotato yay!!! I am so excited for you!!! <:-P

Huge hugs. I know how you feel - I just got the paperwork for our second opinion and one of the questions asks you to summarize your experiences with your child's medical condition. I wonder which horrible, terrifying moments are relevant and which I should skip altogether. Everything came flooding back - all of it. I'm sure her birthday will be the same. You guys have had a long, hard haul. You are so incredibly strong and I admire you tremendously. You're like my medical-issue mama superhero. If you can do it, so can I!

>:D< >:D< >:D< You CAN do it! We don't have a choice, do we? But you can.

I'm glad you're getting the second opinion! Hope it finally gets you somewhere - keep us posted!

gutsymama · March 2014

@thegoodpotato YAYAYAYAYAYAY! So excited for you!

@valstulas Want to see my BFP belly? Because I just ate a Big Fucking Pizza after battling a finicky picc for about an hour.

Want a personalized experience?
