Whine & Wine Wednesday! - 3/18/15

[jenn]

What's going on, ladies?!  Let's hear it!


Whine:  I'm completely over working.  I can't wait to become a SAHM.  Maybe I just need a vacation. 

Wine: When I woke up, I thought it was Tuesday but was happily surprised that no, it's Wednesday.  (This is lame.  I'll try and think of something better later... haha)

[gnomesweetgnome]

Whine: Bruce's sleep has been weird the last several days, and I don't know why. Boo.
Wine: I'm looking forward to my friends' visiting this weekend!

[jwinct]

Whine: I'm coming down with a cold and feel cruddy. And I'm sitting in the waiting room of a dermatologist, waiting to have all my moles mapped and likely some removed/biopsied

Wine: My homestudy interview is tomorrow, so that should wrap up our part of the homestudy.

I can't wait to be a SAHM, either. I'm so tired of work, too. Won't be for at least a couple years, probably, when my hubby gets his next promotion that he's scheduled for.

jwinct - I hate going to the dermatologist. Every time I go, they have to remove a mole. I've had probably 5 or 6 frozen/taken off. I've never had them mapped though - I probably should. I'm always finding new ones! Let me know how the mapping goes! FX for good biopsies!

Our older son hit more sleep issues around 18 months and then again right before 2.  I've recently noticed he knows how to pretend and have read some of these developmental changes can cause them to be scared at night.  Also could be teeth.  Our guy literally hits any sleep issue that he possibly could

[pinkie]

Whine: my head is stuffed up. At first I was sure that I caught the cold that everyone in our house has but I'm thinking it may be allergies. Either way I feel blah

Wine: I started the adoption story photo book for DS1 last night that I've been talking about doing and seeing all the photos and working on the story has been heart warming for me. I also have the coupon for a free book from shutterfly so I have extra motivation to finish it on a deadline

I think it could be teeth, he has all the other "symptoms" he usually gets: snotty nose, cough while sleeping, plus random screaming when trying to go to sleep last night.  I don't feel any bumps anywhere, though.  He's just missing his canines and 2yr molars.

Whine: Work pretty much sucks right now and I'm in a holding pattern for at least a year. DH is most likely getting a new job and I will need FMLA.

Wine: We had tons of fun putting together a climbing structure for some friends last night. The kids love it!

[chicago]

Whine: I'm in the crabbiest, moodiest mood ever. I have no idea what to do to get out of it.

Wine: My company just changed their policy to cover up to 6 weeks paid leave for adoption and allows 4 more weeks unpaid. I was already grateful for the 2 weeks paid that they were offering before as well as about $8K reimbursement. I know that we are very lucky compared to most.

[Captain Serious]

Whine: I feel I'm in for a longer than hoped-for job search. I keep applying for jobs, and for the most part, it's radio silence after the places acknowledge receiving my application.

Wine: Things are moving along nicely for the house purchase. Three more weeks until closing!

Thanks!
I haven't been in probably 12 years. I had a few removed back then, but just because they were in really annoying places. I hated the last practice, so I chose a new practice. Get this.... I'm sitting in the room, wearing the gown when the P.A. walks in and it's the mom of two of the girls at my daughters' daycare. So awkward!! LOL  It was fine, though. She's super nice. She did remove a suspicious looking mole from my leg that could potentially be a melanoma, but may not be. I'll find out in a week. She looked at all my moles (there are a LOT) with this magnifying glass thing and then took pictures of them all. I have to go back in 6 months and probably every 6 months after that to get them all rechecked. I have a lot of atypical moles, which put me at an increased risk for melanoma. My mom has basal cell carcinoma, but thankfully not melanoma, but they will still watch me pretty closely.

Whine: Now that the weather is warmer I should start running, but i don't wanna I need some motivation!

Wine: Had trees pruned and our shed, deck & fence repaired today. At least our yard will be ready for summer!

[chele]

Whine: Getting frustrated with lack of phone calls regarding FTA. Just seems like babies and toddlers are falling from everyone else's skies but ours.

Wine: Unsupervised weekend visits should begin this weekend. Yay! And we're going to dinner and then to see my all-time favorite movie in the theater on Sunday night (Hitchcock's Rear Window). Can't wait!

Wine: I had my first massage, and it was amazing! I cannot believe I waited so long to do this!

Whine: I am exhausted. More than most weeks, I am ready for this one to be over.

Yes! And thanks to the information from gnomesweetgnome, I wasn't nervous a bit.  So, thank YOU for putting it out there so that I could be more calm.

OMG How Awkward!!! I would have been speechless! I'm glad she was nice!  Sounds like an interesting process.  I'll have to call my derm. office to see if they can do something like this.  I hate going though because I always work myself up and probably over analyze my own moles so when they look at one and it's fine, I second guess their opinion.  Because obviously I know better than trained professionals.  hah.  I'm a mess sometimes.
