Hey all!!!!
Well DH is having 2nd thoughts about the house :( He says the kitchen/ den area is WAY too small. He is really torn because he says that is the only neg he can see but he just does not see it working. Like if we had people over there would be nowhere for them to go. I dont really see it that way but whatever. The other downside we found out is that the house has aluminum wiring- not totally bad but iffy and they have a radon thing in the garage. It sucks radon out of the basement and puts it through a filter then it goes out the roof. We are going to ask them if they had a problem with Radon before or if this was just for caution.
Another thing that is really freaking me out is that I think a baby died there. Here is why:
-There are several pics of newborn twins and even baby twin.(boy and girl)
-1st year pictures only a girl
-only one baby room totally decked out girly
-play area downstairs has a princess mural.
Am I just being paranoid? I already think the house has neg energy because the people are going through a really bad divorce but if a baby died there! There is no way I could live there :(
Good Moring mamas~
i am so tried i could not sleep for the Life of me last night :( so i am dragging! well this week is my biopsy(sp) Yuk! i am feeling a bit ansy cause of it i would just like to stay home all week and be lazy but not sure that would be good for how i am feeling either:(
LL~ sorry about the house i am SURE you will find one you BOTH love! soon
I am going to try to remember as much as I can so here goes.
Ames- I work at a pub as a server. Since it is a bar as well I have to cocktail well after the kitchen closes. Therefore I can be up waiting tables until 2 am and have shifts as long as 11 hours. Since I have come back they have been better about not making me close as often and keeping my shifts down to a minimum. I usually only work Fridays and Saturdays but there are a lot of festivals and events down there so sometimes I have to work other days as well.
Jenny- It has become harder for me to go back and forth between home and work this time around. There is a lot to juggle. But I think that it's very helpful for my sanity to get out of the house and have adult interaction. Not to mention I make REALLY good money. We could "get by" on what Devin makes but there are a lot of extras that we have become used to (cable tv, internet, etc.) that make working nessisary so we can still provide for our kids and do the things we want to do.
Court- Unfortunatly serving is my only option right now. The reason I started serving is because it allows me to be at home with the kids during the day and still work at night making a decent amount of money. I have looked into working at a daycare where my kids could go during the day while I worked but the specific one that I want to work at is full at the moment. Other then that there aren't a whole lot of options and we surely can't afford to put the kids into daycare.
Gred- I go see a physical therepist tonight and I am excited to hear what he has to say. My mom sees him as well and has done woners for her and her back so I am hoping that I will see results quickly as well and begin to incorperate those activities to help strengthen my back in my daily life.
LL-I am sorry this house isn't working out the way you want to. But try to remember that no house is perfect and you don't have to live there forever. That being said you still have to be comfortable in whatever choice you make. Good luck and I hope you find something soon.
Ali- YAY for maternity clothes. You have made it longer without going into them longer then I did with any of my pregnancies. I have always been a fast shower.
Kiki- Sounds like you guys are a normal married couple. Devin and I go through periods where we drive each other insane. Me working on weekends and getting out of the house usually helps to make things right again. He appreciates what I do and I miss being home so it equals out.
Mandi- How are you doing? Are you loving the new place?
Kristen- How is being back at work going? That dog story is really sad, and even more sad that people don't reach out to help more often.
Amylyn- Glad to hear your tummy is doing better. Pregnancy can do some crazy things to our bodies huh?
Misty- How fun getting to paint! I would love to spend some time working on the kids rooms. But there is always something else "more important" that needs to be tended to.
Kate- How are you doing hun? You open for any customs yet? I would love a diaper wallet with the matching wetbag and such. Let me know!
Sorry to anyone I may have missed, must run and do some motherly duties. Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!
LL-a house is a HUGE investment so make sure that you both are on board when picking one. Sometimes your first house isn't exactly what you desire but they say that you only live in your first house for an average of 5 years. We lived in ours for 8. Can't help with the morning sickness....sorry.
Ames-what day is your biopsy on? I'll be thinking of you.
Your local health food store should have some goodies for the M/S, LL. I think I had some ginger stuff that helped a bit with Evan. Nothing but spaghettios /w meatballs helped with Elle. *gags*
I agree with Jenny. This isn't our forever house. But it will do for now. ;0)
Gah, FUNKY BABY. BBL
Morning all!
LL-I've heard ginger helps. Maybe try drinking a ginger ale? I've also heard those sea sickness bands you can wear on your wrist help too. Hope this first trimester goes quickly for you.
Dani- Work is going OK. It just makes me realize how much I am ready to be a SAHM. I only work 2 days a week from 7 to 3. But I still struggle keeping the house clean and am soooo tired. I can't imagine doing waitressing type work at night. I don'ty know how you do it!
Ali- Aren't new maternity clothes fun?
Ok that's about all I got this morning. Lots to do before I work tomorrow. Plus I've got a case fo the runny noses here. Nev is so upset because she's never really had a runny nose. She keeps pointing to her nose and crying, like mama make it stop! Poor kid. Oh and it snowed like 4 inches last night! I am so freaking sick of the snow....
Thanks everyone!! All I can eat is turkey subs from subway(the whole foot long one <blush> , eggo waffles, saltines and ginger ale. Sounds yummy doesnt it.
About the house I think we would be totally fine with the small kitchen and den area(less to clean) but the radon thing is scary. Well see I guess
Kristen- Im sorry you are having a hard time working and keeping your house clean. I cant wait for you to be a stay at home mom either!!!!
Caroline- Spagettios with meatballs!?!?!? BLAH!!!! LOL
Dani- that was one hell of a post! hope your back is doing better. Now I dont feel bad that I still have your Mei tai, not like you are going to be using it,lol. I will get that too you this week I hope.
O is not feeling well and for the 1st time ever I am glad. That means she will lay down with me and watch tv while I sleep
Dani, that just plain sucks and I totally understand what you mean about finding a job that works with your hubby's shift. Good luck at PT tonight, hope you find some relief!
LL, when will you find out more about the Radon thing? I have t o second Jenny's comment about a first house not usually being a forever house. In our first year of marriage we lived in three houses! LOL
Ames, I hope everything goes smoothly on Wednesday - I'll be thinking about you. What time do you go?
Kristen, how much longer do you see yourself working? I think it would be nice to get out and have some adult interaction but I would probably find it more stressful to have clean "going out" clothes and doing my hair twice a week! ;-P
It's been a quiet day around here. I'm on my 6th load of laundry and have the kitchen cleaned up. Ains is super cheerful and funny. Avery is sleeping a lot. Could have something to do with the 3 AM wake up! Ugh, I just hope she sleeps better tonight and that it's not her ears bothering her.
Ali- yay for getting into maternity clothes!!!
Bets- thanks for the 20Xs more water fact. Thats a good one. The reason why I never wanted to deliver at that hospital is because it is known as the baby factory. They have 3 maternity levels and there is no guarantee that you will even get a room on one of those floors because they fill up quickly. Plus if a nursery is full or does not have enough staff your baby has to go stay in a nursery on another floor. not cool with me.
Who knows any cures for m/s? Anyone. Im dying here. O wakes up crying and I have to jump out of bed grab here throw her on my bed then run to the bathroom downstairs because DH is in the shower upstairs. I want to die!!!!! My drs appt is on Thursday and I am going to ask for an Rx. I cant handle m/s and I am the type of person that cant stand feeling naseous. I induce vomiting to make myself feel better. PLEASE HELP!!!!
