Re: Weekly Randoms w/o 3/9/20
I know some things are just boys being boys, but this is what worries me. I don't know boys
Plus we get money every December from them for just being members (Extraordinary Dividend). It is pretty close amount to a mortgage payment and can't beat that every year, just for having mortgage through them.
We were debating going to 15 year fixed rate of 2.75% but DH wasn't on board since our payment would increase $400 a month. We just replaced my 13 year old Jeep and he will eventually will need a new vehicle. Baby etc etc
RANT: Looking through our budget and credit card accounts and hubby is using his credit card instead of debit card for gas, groceries etc to get points 😤 And not paying it off. So needless to say we need to get that all under control and paid off.
Hope we can even get the refinance rate to be honest 🙄
I’m not sure that’s true but it sounds like a good explanation 😂
I am in Indiana but the credit union I speak of is in Illinois BUT has locations in California too(they bought them 10 yrs ago after/during recession). You can live anywhere and have mortgage anywhere. My hubby's coworker moved to Georgia and used them and lots of relocation at DHs company people use them because they are one of preferred lenders.
Funny thing is I was able to call and talk to someone quickly regarding my questions whereas the two banks in my town I've yet to hear back from 🙄 I'll PM you the name!
I personally wouldn't have my child in room but I have a friend who had her 6 year old and 18 month old in room. She also has very fast labors (gets to hospital just in time). However, I'm with @blaf322 on getting someone as "stop gap" until one of your parents gets there.
Have you considered a doula for yourself on case in goes quick and hubby cant be there? Or a sibling doula for your daughter in case that's what you decide is to have her in there. The sibling doula meets you/your family prior and helps with child during birth.
That said, I *think* we're probably fine. A friend of a friend works for the water company and said one faucet tested positive so they have to alert the entire county. It's likely that something just crawled up into that faucet and died and that the rest of the county's water is actually fine. Obviously, I'm not taking any chances with drinking the water... but it's nice to know I probably won't be violently ill on the plane ride home tomorrow
@Erikahenderson1 I've seen plenty of people have their kids in the room with them. I don't think it will be traumatic for her. I'm sure if you reach out to her teachers they could give some recommendations on a sitter or at least send a message out to other parents asking for recommendations.
@blaf322 crazy, I live about 20 mins from Eau Claire!
i didn’t expect all the gifts and hugs and food and love I would get now...a year later since I’m pregnant. It is so humbling.
@blaf322 nipple assault 😂😂
well with all this virus stuff interest rates are going crazy and now if we move we won’t really be saving much money and being that we weren’t in love with the house I was feeling super emotional and sick to my stomach about it. We were told we were in the contingency stage and could still back out so we decided to pull the plug. I feel so many emotions. Sad that it didn’t go like I was hoping and relieved but feeling bad and guilty about the time the realtor put in and bad for the people trying to sell (even tough it’s only been a day) and sad to have to tell our friends we wouldn’t be their neighbors. I feel like I just shouldn’t be allowed to make any big decisions while pregnant. I’m just too emotional apparently and now I have to unpack our stuff into our home although I’m thinking I might not since it’s been so nice and easy to clean. I guess at least our house is nice and clean and I’ve donated and thrown out lots of unwanted stuff.
We are back from FIL funeral. I came a day sooner and had an appointment with primary care and my OB. No results yet on glucose test but it was no big deal. (I wonder if that means I'm more of a sugar fiend than I think.) I'm a wheezing, snotty mess from my allergies and asthma evidently the 2 medications I cannot take right now were doing more than I thought.
Issues with MIL and her memory are going to be a much longer haul. My Mom did come in and go to the funeral with my stepmom. That was a bonus and I got pampered for a night and a day of the experience.
I didn’t think the test was a huge deal either. But, it did make me nauseous afterwards.... I think that was just bc I basically had syrup sitting on my stomach with no other food though.
@hbird0723 I’m sorry this is all so stressful... but it sounds like you did the right thing for your family. The bad feelings about everything will fade soon and you’ll be glad for the choice you made.
@bluguitarhannah that's nice that your mom was able to come and support through such a tough time for you and your wife. This whole "our parents are getting older" business is kind of the worst. Sending positive thoughts your way. And solidarity on the allergies front.
@Erikahenderson1 I'm curious why you deleted several of your posts on here?
What's everyone got planned for the weekend?
