I'm happy, I really am, but...

My only childness may be coming out a lil....

Flashback to Dec 2006. Our announcement that we're engaged the day I graduate college. SIL and now BIL dated for about 10ish years at the time, eng for 8..approximately! No date ever set or really any intentions on getting married anytime soon. We have my grad party and surprise we're engaged too! lol. At the frickin' party she says "Yeh, we wanna get married soon too. When y'all thinking?" I say June a year and a half from then, b/c we had talked about that in advance. She says, "Yeh we're thinking April that year, 2008." Figures, gotta beat us. She lolligags while I plan our wedding....the week after we get married they set the date for Dec of 08. I plan the wedding being as that's what I do on the side. She couldn't be the only one not married. Kinda peeved me.

We had talked here and there about TTC and then we get pg this past July and tell family in August sometime. Lo and behold Sept they want to start TTC. Whatever. Well, she tried to stop BCP but her acne acted up so she decided to postpone it...b/c there's not a thing called pg acne, is there? Duh. Anyway, she's a partier, always out with her friends while her DH is working or at home. Never invites him anywhere. They stop TTC until Dec and she gets on Clomid b/c she has a feeling she doesn't ovulate. She works at a OBGYN so he wrote her a script without any tests, etc....she tells me this was her plan to get on meds right away. I'm slightly judgey there! So in Dec they start trying again but her DH has an injury around O time leaving them unable to TTC. So Jan is their first official month of TTC and she just texts me she's pg. 3.5 weeks along.

It seems like DH and I can never enjoy these moments in our life b/c anytime we announce something it's like she's gotta show us up and join the crowd. It's just annoying. I wish them the best and I really am happy for them. They're hoping for multiples so this will be her only pg, b/c she doesn't wanna "get fat twice." This is another reason they started her out on Clomid since the beginning. :/

Busy bee

We have a crawfish boil for work tonight = free food and booze. Then going out for my cousin's birthday.

Tomorrow is Good Friday and I have off. But I need to get our taxes done and have a million things for my side biz that I want to get done. And all of us grandkids are taking my grandma out for lunch.

Saturday we're going to dinner with friends for my birthday and maybe out afterwards. But it also means I have to do the "rounds" with each parent, yada yada. And bring the dogs to the vet.

Sunday is Easter with 2 Easter celebrations to go to. I'm going to be SO TIRED on Monday

My mom, our sitter apparentally

So my mom called me last Wednesday to tell me she's quitting her job on Thursday. She took off Friday anyway to help with the garage sale (see previous post). She said she was tired of the constant mental harassment from her boss and yada yada yada. She's been working there for 17 years, ever since my parents got divorced.

She ends the conversation with "So I'm taking a while off, if I go back to working at all. I'm not sure if I want to work, part-time or full-time. And now would be a great time to have a baby."

While I don't totally disagree with her point on her being out of work means she could watch the future spawn, but she's out of work NOW. Even if we were to get PG like yesterday it'd still be 9 months from now. Ah, silly moms. I'll be sure to tell the ute to speed up the process because future spawn's grandmother is out of work to watch le bebe.

Logic at its finest.
