flippinchica I totally get why you feel that way. That is incredibly sad and to me a real statement to why I decided to not be a part of that group. I hope that is something you never have to worry about, but I'm glad you know that worry would not apply here. Good luck with TTC, I hope it's a short journey for you.

Today I had play group with 2 moms from moms club. One I knew was anti vax but I found out the other is too. Until age 2. I think I know why the 3 mom, who was pregnant until mid Jan, rarely comes to playgroup.
I thought of you packmomma when one of these moms brought up those... I think peas... that you talked about in the other thread.

th3stryck3r, thanks for asking. I can't necessarily say today is any better. Slightly. I went to bed last night at 8, woke up a number of times, but whatever. We went to tour a daycare near my work this morning, and will hopefully transfer M there in the spring summer. I love our provider, but she does not have a lot of other children in her care, and she is taking a ton of vacation time this summer. Plus she won't be convenient when we move, so want to get a jump on it. M LOVED it there. He is normally very shy and reserved in new situations, but he walked in a like a boss! lol.
Also tonight is my monthly girls night and I.can't.wait. I am very much looking forward to getting out. We are supposed to be planning our 40th trip for this fall. I'm feeling conflicted about the trip because DH is also turning 40 this fall, and I won't be vacationing with him. So we will see how that goes.
Tl;dr day is slightly better; visited a daycare; getting together with my girls tonight and possibly planning a trip in the fall.

@poppykisses, i apparently hadn't' updated the thread before posting...sorry, i am slow today. i wish it was an easy decision for you all. try pros vs cons. and think of negative what if's so you are prepared for anything (you already mentioned a negative what if, like what if he doesn't like the job, what if it doesn't last). In the end you have to weigh all options and make the decision that is best for your family.
i'm tired you guys. so tired. but i think i am going to pick the kids up, run thru chick-fil-a and head to the park. eat dinner and let them run wild for a bit.

@poppykisses,that does sound tough. With the salary decrease, is the cost of living comparable or less? Because it is possible that even making less money, if your dollar goes further, you could end up ahead. Also, I don't know how much outside childcare you do/ plan on, but it family could ease the burden on that as well, that would be another plus for moving.
So I'm in AZ right now for the funeral. Between being away from A on Wed when I was sick to being out of town since yesterday, she is apparently handling it terribly. Lots of tears for me and sleeping horribly. I wasn't expecting this because MH is a very active daddy, and we parent really equally. He knows what he is doing, but I guess she just isn't used to me not being there. It is breaking my heart.
flippinchica I get that. I haven't posted in the FB group either. Not so much for the same reasons, but since I have stepped back from it it feels weird just jump in with "I'm pregnant!" Which I know that I go a while without posting here (not for the same reasons) and I never feel weird about just jumping back in. It's just different. But it makes me sad that I feel that way about the FB group because there are a lot of members that post there that I really like a lot.
We are still debating the potential move. We got the official job offer and everything is a just a little big of a downgrade (salary, benefits, partnership track) but the pros are really big - family, weather, social network! I'm not sure how much the downgrades matter in the long run. It's a really small salary decrease etc. but I don't want my H to be miserable there and he'd be giving up a really good work environment here for an unknown. But if we don't move now, we will likely never be able to move close to my family. Can someone just tell me the right answer please?
Is there a possibility of coming back to them asking them to at least meet your H's current salary? I feel like that is a pretty reasonable request. Then it would sort of leave the ball in their court.

I've got nothing left today. Made my statement to insurance today. Have been both having a panic attack and crying all day. W goes to sleep by 730 in which I can take meds to calm down.

Quite tired and just catching up. This day completely flew by. H was home today so we decided to take the girls to the zoo. We let them walk instead of use the stroller and it was so much nicer. They were so close to the animals - it was adorable.

I took the boys to the community center. There is a ball pit and play area. The last few times we went the daycare that is there brought the little kids and the preschoolers in. They did the same today. I guess theres no pattern to when they come. They just always seem to come whenever we go. It sucks. Theres to many kids in there and not enough adults. I almost felt like leaving and asking for my money back. At one point, S1 came up to me and said, "they told me i couldn't play over there because i'm to big" I may have had some words with them.
