@janetheconquerer I'm so sorry you're having anxiety issues. Do you think it has anything to do with being away from the kids? When do you go home? Big hugs, anxiety attacks fucking suck.

ampaints, I'm glad you're feeling like you're in a better place today.
joi922, you need a do-over for this week. I'm sorry it's been so rough. I hope the ring ends up turning up– was it at a Y/ community pool? Do they have a lost and found?
Operating on not much sleep today– Poppy was up at 4 AM– I think she has some teeth coming in that are bothering her. She ended up getting back to sleeping bed on me/ next to me, but it wasn't great sleep for me.
At the end of last month I went for an eye exam, and it turns out I need reading glasses. My first pair of glasses! They are ready today– MH is going to pick them up for me after work today. I'm really excited! No more squinting at the computer!
@janetheconquerer Thanks for the encouragement! The house thing is probably a good thing, really. With the changes at work, God's plan (sorry to be cheesy)is starting to make sense. A new house would have been too much right now, I think. When H and I talked to my aunt about the sale of her and my uncle's house at Christmas (H and I have talked about buying it since she told me she was selling in the next few years), I felt a strange sense of peace with the timeline of 1.5-2 years (their timeline) instead of putting our house on the market this May and trying to find something else on the open market. Life events are starting to make more sense.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the job I wanted 5 years ago (not my boss' job), and was bitter about not being considered for then. It always stung a little when the person who has the job said/did certain things- which was a "me" problem. I'll still have a lot to learn, but the curve is smaller. I work in the wholesale flower/plant business.
Sorry your anxiety is flaring up. I feel you on that. I've found solace in some quotes on Pinterest.
You don't always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and see what happens.- Mandy Hale
Don't confuse your path with your destination. Just because it's stormy now doesn't mean that you aren't headed for sunshine. -unknown
Over-thinking ruins you. Ruins the situation, twists things around, makes you worry and just makes everything much worse than it already is.- unknown
All great things are preceded by chaos.
If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can't just wait to see what kind of day you'll have. You have to decide what kind of day you'll have. -Joel Osteen
When you focus on problems, you'll have more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you'll have more opportunities.
I realize I've got quite a few speaking to me these days.

DH is fine. Creepy FB guy was creepy. DH said the house was gross and there were 2 other random people there. The guy wanted to trade another guitar for a water bed. DH said the guy kept wanting to talk and finally DH was like I gotta go. Apparently the night before, DH had to tell him to stop messaging him because he was going to bed.
thewop good luck, I hope you find out for certain about the job soon. It's such a wonderful feeling when you feel like things are happening as they should.
th3stryck3r thanks, Naria and I are both feeling good about the plan she has with her clinic. Once again I feel so fortunate that they are the recipients of our embryos. Her openness is amazing and really makes this process so much easier for us.

@janetheconquerer, Glad you love your job and are enjoying your business trip, even with the cold! Sorry about the anxiety attacks. I have no advice to offer, but stranger internet hugs.

skinandbones, I'm just catching up, but glad YH is okay. There are definitely lots of creepy ass people out there! Just think, if it weren't for the internet we wouldn't be able to meet them all in random ways! lol

thewop, Congrats on the potential promotion! Sounds like you have a great view on how life events end up making sense (often I believe it comes in hindsight, but good to be able to recognize it!). The search for a home can be challenging depending on how the markets are (I know you have mentioned in the past you love house hunting and moving! so you are much more of an expert here than me!), so having a plan with your aunt/uncle sounds great!

@mrspanpan, Sorry for the shitty sleep lately. I've also been thinking M is getting some more teeth. He has been a little restless at night (talking in his sleep), and drooling like CRAZY yesterday and today! He still wakes up once a night and ends up needing a bottle. Sigh. I know we need to break this, and my goal was to do this over the holidays, but then I was dealing with other stuff and didn't want to have a couple nights of CIO.
Just for curiosity sake, and probably to make myself feel bad, I think I will start a thread to see where our LO's are with their sleep. Some days I feel like I'm the only one whose LO still gets up consistently each night.

We have a real estate agent coming tonight to see what he thinks we could get for our home. I can't believe we might actually be moving. Getting some cold feet because my commute to work will be much longer (going from 10 minutes to about 30 minutes with good traffic). Is the commute worth living in an amazingly gorgeous home???

I currently live 30 min with good traffic from work. It'll be adjustment but worth it for a good house!
Still trying to get back into the swing of things after the holidays, and taking off work half of last week to stay home with A. She's doing better, still coughing and you can hear the congestion in her chest, but no longer vomiting and has her energy back! So she's back at daycare this week.
She has started crying at bedtime which is so strange. She'll hurry us thru her bedtime routine, rubbing her eyes and pointing at her crib, and immediately roll over and hug her pillow when we lay her down, but start crying the second we leave the room. This girl has gone down without a peep for almost a year now...I'm not sure if she just needs to release some nervous energy or what.
tuscanlatte any word on the job? Didn't you day they would let you know either way?
Yeah they did say that! That's just typical government. I am really struggling mentally trying to be optimistic. I emailed again this morning to ask what was up and no response. It has been 6 weeks. 1.5 weeks since they said there was no decision yet. I just want to cry. I want to know that we are going to be fine.
