We've made it. We are in our home for the next 3 weeks. Crossing my fingers it's better than last night, that won't be too hard! Mil is getting in a plane tomorrow morning then it's just the 4 of us again in our new home town.
Proboards wasn't loading for me yesterday, I was worried the site was gone but I tried the other place and had the same issue.
Today was disappointing. I learned about an opportunity through work to sign up for some free outdoor rec classes this weekend, all located nearby that I could easy adjust my schedule today and work around tomorrow and Sunday. But then it all fell through today. I was so looking forward to being active and learning some new things.
I was tailspinning on it earlier but I realized it, and took the time to practice some of the techniques I've been working on with the therapist. It got me into better headspace, but I also realized how much I'm missing and craving that activity.
I say that as I'm a bit to head downstairs and watch a movie with DH, but I think I'll really make an effort to get back in the gym and go from there.
Oh man kartish I am sorry, that is really disappointing. I am glad you have the techniques through therapy to stop the spiral and to find the constructive from your thoughts.
aggiebug hop8ng things will "settle down" now foe the three weeks! Enjoy exploring your new home town kartish good job recognizing it and working through it. I hope you find time to do the activity you want. Maybe you can put time aside every week??
We did the mall this morning and went to a new brick fired pizza place nearby that was yummy. At zoo nights now enjoying a classic rock band. I don't know some of the songs but they just played one of my all time favorites - Your Love by The Outfield

We're at the beach! I'm trying to decide between sharing a king size bed with my mom, or having my own twin size bed but rooming with G. He only napped 30 minutes in the car and we're late with bedtime so FX tonight is easy.
lilyelayne I would vote twin with my kid lol. But it depends on how your mom/kid sleeps haha. And re conceiving: it's hard when that happens with your first so you expect it but you'll be fine! Best of luck for this cycle!! Have fun at the beach.
Today we had a relaxing morning. DH grilled ribs for lunch and now the girls are painting outside on their easels. It is the last night of the year for zoo nights and the band is Dishwalla (their big hit in the 90s was 'counting blue cars'). It seems like it'll be wonderful night again weather wise. It's been amazingly nice for August here...its weird.
kartish the hotels on the road were a little tough but it was get in at 6 grab dinner and get on the road early the next day. The hotel we are in for the long haul here in KC seems like it will be great. It's an extended stay with an actual bedroom which is so nice. It has a kitchenette so we can do many meals here.
We have a contract on a house and now all contingencies are cleared we are just waiting for closing on the 29th and moving in on the 31st.
lilyelayne thanks for asking about H. It's hard to tell how he is handling things. He's not a real emotional guy but tends to just shut down if you know what I mean. He hasn't really wanted to talk about or making plans to get down there. So I have been in charge of making travel plans with his mom and sisters.
DD and I have had a busy couple of days with trips to the zoo and children's museum and errands so we had a lazy day with H today. I've got laundry and packing for the trip to Milwaukee for the funeral to do tomorrow, along with homework so it was nice to do absolutely nothing today. I work Monday then Tues we leave, come back Thursday, then I work the weekend. It makes me tired just thinking about it.
mmarie hugs sounds like H is really lucky to have you as he is struggling to process the loss. I hope your trip is smooth, the celebration of life is good and your week is not as hectic as it seems.

On call this weekend. It's not too bad and not that many calls. I can go out and do things because this group is more organized.
I just can't deal with H's fits about it. He worked the same job for 11 years and is the least understanding person about the work ever. It's the same way it was when I was in grad school. Only his job can require work at home outside of work hours. Only his job can require travel. He has a weekly phone meeting at home so I do all the kid stuff. He needs to work late or go back after dinner, ok. He needs to travel internationally for 10 days or take sudden overnight trips, I got it. I have to answer a couple phone calls and spend 15 minutes typing up a work order and I'm working all the time and ignoring my family.
seamonster I'm sorry. That's totally unfair, and I'm sorry the years of evidence you totally rock work AND caring for your family haven't changed his attitude.
