I'm off to bed after a looooong weekend at work, but wanted to wish everyone that has an appointment today/in the next few days good luck!!!! Hope everyone had a good weekend.
GTKY: if you weren't working in the job you have now, what would you do? What would your dream job be?

If I had the option I would be a SAHM. Hands down. We could probably make it work on just one income now, but it would be very tight. IMO, having financial security and being able to live a comfortable life is worth the sacrifice. In a perfect world though, I would stay at home in an instant.
Glad you're home and in bed cutay. I got super dizzy this morning and threw up. This never happened with DD. Hoping it doesn't become a regular thing.
GTKY: If I wasn't a nurse (right now I am SAHM just bc of DH's work situation) I don't know what else I would do. I love being a nurse. I guess I'll say chef bc I like to cook but I don't know that I'd want to do that as a career.
Had my weekly scan this AM. Doc said all looks good. Tech showed us arm buds beginning to form (little dots). Heart rate was just under 160 (I think, might have been just under 150). Baby is measuring 7w1d this week, from 6w exactly last week. I'm trying to be comforted by this because *TW* I had bleeding with my first loss and was getting fairly frequent scans - at 6w it was 2 days behind my expected due date based on my cycle, and at 8w it was 4 days behind. It was within the margin of error so I brushed it off at the time, but every difference between that pregnancy and this one helps me psychologically ESPECIALLY because this is essentially the same timeline - BFP in March, EDD in mid-December. In any event, doctor was happy so I'm trying to be too. Next scan, unless I freak out, will be NEXT Wednesday bc husband will be OOT M/T.
I would love to be an author. Or maybe a book shop owner. It's hard to think of another job - I do generally like this one pretty much. My only complaint with my current job is the hours - I wish it were easier to work a little less.
If I weren't in my current job hopefully I would be doing something similar at another big company. I would love to be an Economics Teacher in HS. H always says if we needed to do something as a front to hide money I could open a yarn shop.
My throat is really sore. I over did it this weekend and my allergies are awful. I'm drinking hot tea now in hopes I feel better in the next day or two. I might have to break out the neti pot.
rooskie LOLing @ the yarn store as a front. There was this vacuum repair shop in our town for YEARS and I always made up stories to my husband about what it was a front for. It closed down last year and apparently people really did go to that store because a lot of people were upset when it closed.

Nice. We have been binging Breaking Bad. If we ever won the lottery we would collect anonymously because we both have big families that would be begging for money. Open a yarn shop to show how we "earn" money.
My dream job right now is to be a SAHM. Trying to figure out a way to work from home part time and make that happen.
If I could go back in time, I would probably focus on either accounting or early childhood development (I know those are two completely different things).

Hola ladies! Today has been kicking my ass at work but otherwise I am doing well.
Dream Job: I actually really love my job... I work in the criminal justice field as a case manager/team leader. My only plans for leaving is to move on up but in the same field.

I'm here in crazy Monday land as well... I think my car died (or is about to) so I'm trying to get that to a shop during work. I just got out of monster meetings and now I'm finally catching my breath. It's a great day to be dizzy and slightly queasy!!
Dream job--I've always said I want to be Anthony Bourdain when I grow up as travel and food are two of my favorite things. Sadly, I don't think that's an option.
Just saw a man order a large popcorn shrimp at Popeyes....no, just no sir...
ETA: i don't usually mind shrimp. There was just so much of it and it did not look appetizing
Popeyes is always a hard no to me. I can't even handle the smell of it. And that was before being pregnant.
Their Cajun fries are yummy but I was just minding my business walking through the food court to go to the PX and get some body wash. Not anticipating a pile of shrimp during my stroll! 😜
Hello! I'm not sure what job I would have if I wasn't a teacher. Plus 1 to travel writer, except I'm actually not much of a writer. I just really like to travel. I would like to SAH if I had confidence thatb I could get back into a good school. Unfortunately history teachers seem like a dime a dozen so I want to hang onto my position at my school.
@officedronette, I'm SO glad you had such a reassuring scan! YAY! Happy vibes all around!
babydsmama, hope you're feeling better and the nausea passed!!
belle0720, I will be checking out your shop! How awesome. I'm all about making my toddler look cute. Meanwhile, I'm wearing the same t-shirt I got at Target 2 years ago. Don't mind me.
leekpartyof2, sorry to hear about your car! I hope things slowed up for you today. I agree that Anthony Bourdain has a sweet job. Heck, most food network/foodies have awesome jobs. I really want to eat food all day long and get paid for it.
As for me, I only got 4 hours of sleep today. I had to sacrifice sleep for a pedicure. MUCH needed. We took my 2 year-old with us, and she did really good. Most of the polish is on her skin, but oh well.
Since coming home, the cat puked, my daughter seems to have diarrhea (what did my MIL feed her today?!), and I'm hangry like nobody's business. Why do we only seem to have lettuce in the refrigerator? What are you guys having for dinner?
OK, enough complaining. I am off work for 4 days (DREAM JOB!), I'm snuggling with my munchkin, and my hubs will be home within the hour. Life is good. I hope you guys are enjoying a relaxing evening.
Is anyone else feeling really full these days? I ate what I normally eat for lunch over 2 hours ago. And I'm sitting here feeling like I just over ate and will never be hungry again.
Last night I managed a smoothie, but didn't have any room for real food either. I didn't have this at all last time - so strange.

ars093s Yep, that's me. I can only eat about a quarter of normal, and even that amount leaves me feeling like I've overeaten to epic proportions.
Enjoy your four days of snuggling cutay, that sounds amazing.
I had to present to my SVP today, on a plan that I'm writing on her behalf, and I think it went well. Huge sigh of relief.
As for my dream job, well if this whole plan for my SVP doesn't work out and I find myself in need of a new job, ideally I'd keep doing what I'm doing elsewhere. If money weren't an issue, I'd go to med school. There are parts of being a doctor that really suck, especially in our current environment, but I love that when it goes well it's about problem solving using science and deep understanding of complex interrelated systems.

Unfortunately, I am not having this problem. I have been eating all the things, all the time.

I had DS' 18 month appointment today so I took a half day at work. I hate watching him get shots. Poor little guy. I'm tired. Is it Friday yet?
I honestly don't think I could be a SAHM. I love my kid but I need a break. I love teaching but it's not glamorous and doesn't pay enough. I used to do musical theatre. My dream job would be to be on Broadway.
Work's been a little nuts because I just switched positions at work. It's a related field but totally different so I'm playing catch up. Plus, I've been a little nauseated every day, which I didn't have with my daughter, so that's been interesting.
I'd love to be a SAHM but financially ut just doesn't make sense right now. Maybe in a few years?
