this morning - the fact that i'm pg and dh and i had a fight stemming from stress and feeling overwhelmed. we always fight more at the end of a pg and the first 6 months of db's life and i was frustrated that nothing seems to change this fact. [ Reply | More

no - i was crying about the fact that we were fighting. we were fighting over too much stuff/too little space and the fact that dh thinks his stuff is his responsibility and my stuff + dcs' stuff + the dog's stuff is my responsibility. it's a never ending cycle - we fight about the same crap over and over and over again.

i know someone like this. the mom of dd's friend. i have to literally bite my tongue or hurt myself in some way to keep from giggling when she tears up at the silliest things. like, the girls' teacher coming into work the day after her mom had surgery. [ Reply | More

yesterday in the car driving past a high school graduation situation, all the dressed up grandparents and parents. more because it reminded me of that time in my life (not a good time, but a long ago poignant memory) and maybe a little thinking about my dd being there someday. the week before, cried about miscarriage [ Reply | More

lol, this morning, which is actually pretty unusual. Free awesome river rafting trip (probably only class I or II rapids) for community members to do a retreat/ community planning work, planning a youth/community center for the area I live in- very cool networking and recreational trip. DH and I both selected to go (weird small community and we both have kind of public jobs). If we don't go the community center might not serve our needs/be lame, and we'd miss out on important networking (all about who you know for jobs around here). The trip is fully paid and in a part of E Oregon that is very cool (we live on the NW coast of OR). But I only have 3 weeks of leave saved up even though I "get" to take 3 months off from work by law for maternity leave (as in, I will be taking 3 months off but all but 3 weeks will be unpaid). So $ will be tight. DH has one week more of leave saved up than I do. If I go on the trip my boss will not count it as work even though it would be work related, but I might switch jobs before then anyways. So DH says he is going, I tell him I'm not. Then I think about it and freak out because the situation implies I will be responsible for everything and be the one making all the sacrifices and this is db #1, basically freaking out. Eventually decided to both go on the trip and just live off the credit card a bit longer than we would have without going since it will be less paid leave for me later (but with such a tiny amount of leave, does it even matter?). Basically, worried about role changes, not being part of the community after db, and if I get the new job, needing to take leave and the extra week off (doesn't that kind of mess up salary negotiations if they know you need other things, like time off, is that how women end up earning 80% on the dollar, etc?) They aren't "allowed" to discriminate on hiring if you're pg, but I am way to cynical to think that doesn't happen. Then there is the taking off a week thing.... is that financially irresponsible or just allowing for a week of fun before baby arrives? And the USA sucks when it comes to maternity leave, why can't we just have it paid so ppl like me don't have to have a breakdown over it? We have both also been working really hard rennovating our house because we can rent out our basement for about 1/3 of our house payment if we finish in time, which would really help pay for daycare (which we are waitlisted for!!!!). I am at 5 months and almost wish it had taken a few months longer to get pg! We have no family nearby either to help out. Lol, and I feel fat! [ Reply | More
