Nope, I'm not a big fan of the awards shows in general. Plus I haven't seen any of the movies so I don't have an opinion. Though I really want to see almost all of the nominees.
Apparently our master bath is leaking into the apartment below us. So maintenance needs to enter the apartment. I hate when people are in my place when I'm not there. Plus the beds not made and since I'm doing laundry tonight I can't remember where I put my underwear after my shower this morning so that may be laying out for all to see.
Didn't watch the Oscars, but I did see Whiplash and American Sniper. I want to see the Stephan Hawkings movie and the one Julianne Moore won for, but they seem so depressing. I tried to watch Boyhood, but it was so long and drawn out that I only made in through half of it.
LOL, DH and I were hanging on the couch after putting the kids to bed and I was reading the paper and asked him, "when are the oscars? I think they're on tonight" to which he replies "I don't know, maybe". End of conversation.
I watched Boyhood. I don't understand what all the buzz was about. I think the concept is awesome (filming over 12 years) but I kept waiting for something to happen and then (eventually) it just ended. And it was super long. I was bummed.
We have this on our Plex server to watch, but now I don't want to. Thanks for saving me the time of figuring out that it was anticlimactic!
I'm leaving work early today to go pick up our new car! We are trading in our Honda CRV. I'm going to miss my little meep meep car.
what are you getting?
We are getting a 2009 Acura MDX. We are trading in our 2011 Honda CRV. Is it weird that I feel odd about giving it up? I'm legit sad. We needed a larger SUV with our 80 pound dog, the car seat, and wanting more kids at some point. It was a great deal that we couldn't pass up. RIP Crv

I don't think it's weird. I hope you love your new car. Lots of luck with it.
Thank you! I'm excited. Hopefully it doesn't end up being a lemon.

We just booked our family vacation home in the OBX. Has anyone ever been to the Outer Banks? If so, where have you stayed? What area is the best for families? I've stayed in Corolla, and Salvo in the past. Both times were a lot of fun, but this summer we are staying in Nags Head. I can't wait, I hunted down a pretty good deal online. I think Nags Head will work out great. I hope so at least, haha.

When I was a freshmen in hs I went to the OB and we stayed in Nags Head. Obviously I just went and enjoyed myself with a family friend. It seemed like a very family friendly area, from what I can remember.

I've never been, but I am super jealous. I was to go to the beach. Hope you guys have a great time.
I need to vent. Please tell me if I am being selfish because I go back and forth with feeling selfish and annoyed. DH and I are still unsure whether we will ever have a second child because financially it would be a struggle so we are holding off and exploring the idea again down the road to see if finances change. On the other hand, his sister has been engaged for 4 years, but has no plans on getting married so when she has the two children she wants she will get more services from the state and is also planning on having her parents watch the baby full time and help support her as well because she wants at least two kids and money isn't going to hold her back. DH's parents would never say no because they feel guilty that SIL went through a bout of thyroid cancer and obviously worries about her. I feel guilty because after beating cancer, she should be able to live out her dreams, but also jealous because I would love to live out my dream of having more than one child, but never be so financially irresponsible. OK, vent over!
Update on our priest: They are going to keep him in a medicine induced coma for 4-5 days while his brain recovers. Today was shitty because the kids are scared too and had a lot of questions I couldn't answer. No one knows exactly how he fell, just assuming he slipped on the ice and went through the railing. We don't know his long term prognosis, we aren't 100% he will survive although it is looking good, and no they cannot visit him. Uggghhhh
I feel like a lot of my posts have been depressing/deep/pessimistic lately so throwing in a silly selfie after a long night. I swear I am not always a downer. Here is one of B with a mac and cheese messed up hair look.

Continued prayers for your priest. Please keep us updated through the week on his status.
PA Mom I don't think you are selfish. I think it's very human to feel the way you do. It's hard to be the responsible one and feel like that stands in the way of your hopes and dreams. This is a safe space, come here and vent and say all the things you can never say in real life.

I understand why you feel that way and while I was going through my if treatments I felt a lot of resentment towards people who were irresponsible and had babies they didn't care for like I would or could have.
I don't blame you for feeling the way you do, but life is about choices. Realistically, you and your h could also be irresponsible, but you choose not to. You could say, to hell with thinking things through and quit your job and sign up for government assistance (not that there is anything wrong with people utilizing gov assistance when its needed). The difference is, that's not who you are. You are making the choice to do things the way you see fit and the way you will raise B to be as well. You're not only making a choice but you're setting an example.
Chin up, buttercup. You've got lots to be thankful for.

I agree with everything deeds said! Hugs mama!
I agree with what everyone else has said, however I am horrible with putting my thoughts in to words. So, that being said, you're allowed to feel the way you feel and we're all here to listen.

I obviously have no idea where this is, because I read azieber went to the OB as in Obstetrician as a freshman and was so confused. LOL

I don't think you're being selfish. I get why you feel annoyed by your SIL's situation, and I can relate to feeling jealous even though you wouldn't make the same choices. (We have friends who are in circumstances that I wouldn't choose for myself, but I'm envious of them in some ways. Having a second child or not is a factor here, as well, and that gives me some intense and conflicted feels.)
But like deeds1017 said, you're choosing to do what you feel is best for your family, even though that means putting your dream of a second child on hold. That is decidedly NOT selfish!
