He got laid off 8 days before Christmas. :ohno: He's had a couple interviews since, and nothing's panned out. He's working for his dad right now filing paperwork and running errands for him until he finds a normal job, but his dad's paying him better than he was making before! LOL.Quote:

It's mostly because it will involve significantly more travel - to the other campuses. One is not bad and is an easy daytrip - 2 hours away. The other campuses are 4 hour drives away.
All I can think about is nights away from my little boy, which I'm so not ready for yet, or long ass days stuck in a car.
I'm so sorry Krista, that really bites!! :(
Awww, Krista, that is no way to start the New Year. Do you think you can use this as an opportunity to put some feelers out and see if there is something you might like better?
Ms. Spy, I cannot believe you're at 30 weeks either!
Congrats on the job, Ashley. WTG!
$^#@&*$#@ I am late for school and I am still reading posts!
Oh man today has been the longest day ever! Someone please end it now!
I confess shopping in this town effing sucks! I went to all the stores here and found absolutely NOTHING to wear to work... I am now shopping online.
What do you have to wear?
Business casual.. Black or Khaki pants, and a nice shirt.
I own ONE pair of black pants. Everything else is jeans..

Jenny is awesome about sending out clothes. I would totally take her up on whatever she's offering. BTW, the shoes fit my Ronin perfectly and we love the pjs.Quote:

Congrats on the new job Ashley, that sounds like an AWESOME place to work.
Man, I'm so far behind still here, I have missed a whole bunch of 'congrats' and "I'm sorrys".
Oh darn, I thought Norah was asleep but she is calling for me in her saddest voice asking me to sing. gotta run...
I do most of my shopping at Penny's, Kohls, and Lane Byrant. Shopping online is hard for clothes. :(Quote:

Her and my dad offered to come over and babysit tomorrow night. She loves being with Savana and Kai. Her and my dad tell me all the time what a joy they are and it makes me feel so lucky that my kids have such a great, close relationship with them. I'm so glad we left Hawaii to live here...even if it is below 0 degrees out. And I used to live 3 blocks from the beach. :eyeroll: Family trumps weather. :winks:
So dbf and I are going out! It's been a really long time since we've hung out in public without kids.
Ashley I must've missed that you got your job! YAY For you!! Congrats!
Yeah.. We only have Penny's, Herbergers, Walmart, and Maurices.. I went to all 4, and none really had anything I was interested in.Quote:

I'm sorry about your mom. Its not the worst news, but its far from the best. But its definitely good that she is feeling well enough to spend some alone time with the kids. Good for her, good for the kids and good for you and DBF. I hope you have a good time! What are you going to do?Quote:

Dh could have had a job in the oil industry in TX making 6 figures or very close to it...but not only would we have been in TX so far from family but he would have been pretty constantly traveling and away from me. Family being close easily won out over money (and warmer weather!) :)
Besides, these below zero days don't last forever! And there is something beautiful in these frigid days...the ones so cold but the sky is such a brilliant blue with not a trace of clouds and the sun is so bright it hurts.
I'm sorry though that the news about your mom wasn't better. Not growing is good but it has to be hard to hear that it's not going away and the chemo will have to continue. :hugs:
wow way to shop! I hardly ever find good deals on clothes for me. DH I can find all sorts of sales for.Quote:

I have one pair of jeans, 2 black pants..different styles, and one grey pant. Yes I confess, I wear the same pants to work multiple days each week.
Sounds like fun!Quote:

So now I have five pairs of pants but mostly wear the two old pairs that are stretched out.Quote:

I have another scenario to run past you guys...
Let's say you are not horny often at all and when you are, "making the first move" is not your style. (read: mega-submissive, LOL) Say one night you just wanted hubby to sweep you up in his arms and make sweet sweet love to you. (was that TMI?)
Ok so he asks you if you're in the mood tonight (hoping it's that one day a month, you know?) and you say yes. You say "let's go upstairs" and you get into bed together. You kinda lay there hoping he'll kiss you or something but nothing happens. Turns out Mr. I'm Horny Every Day Multiple Times a Day, is not. On the one day that you want it. He gets all in a tizz when you won't get him off at every whim, but the second you want it, he says "I need some motivation". To sleep with his own wife. Feeling really hurt that your husband who is supposedly horny all the time now supposedly "needs some motivation" you roll over. Hubby falls asleep in under a minute.
I woke his ass up and it turned into another major argument--as always, the issue at hand always balloons up into something much bigger for me. Him not being horny that night turned into me thinking he likes to play mind games with me. He likes to complain that I'm never horny and he never gets any, and the day I am horny, he tells me he "needs motivation". WTF?
Seriously, should I have just sucked it up and made the first move or is it weird that he who is supposedly ready to go multiple times a day didn't really feel like it the second I said I wanted to?
I cannot wait until our therapy session on Thursday. It's gonna be a good one!
