I've lurked on the "other" site for a long time and managed to learn a lot. In my lurkdom, I think I've gone from "unicorns and glitter" to "how the hell do people survive with this much stupid in their lives". I wrote an intro over there last week and luckily someone PMed me the link to this site because I think i might've lost it if I stayed there much longer. It's bad. Real bad. But I'm also lazy so I'm just gonna copy/paste my post from there and edit to fit here
***********
Intros aren't really my thing, I feel as though some veterans around here could get sick of them,I can understand why, but they also seem to be the norm and who am I to break away from protocol and barge my way into someone else's thread without a proper intro?
So, I'm nearly 32 (on Tuesday... But as of now I'm 31), married for a year and a half to a man I've known since I was 8ish but didn't date til 27. I've had the "baby itch" on and off for a while. Mostly on, til we rescued a puppy (seriously), and after he ate all the things in my house, then peed on the rest I started rethinking my stance on babies. But really, I do want kids and I adore them, I just will never have another puppy.
I've been off BC for over a year, on and off temping on FF and lurking here (there) since about a year ago (really, I've been too lazy to post an intro, so I just read. I don't think it's creepy) DH said before we were married he wanted to wait a bit, then he said maybe we could try, then he seemed to have changed his mind about the timing. I'm pushy, but this is the one thing I won't push him into. We bought a house, own our own business, and added said puppy to our herd that is now 3 orange cats and 2 rescued pitbulls, so I could wait a bit. Last week he said to me "I wish we had kids when we were younger." I had to pick my jaw up off the floor and resist banging my head into a wall, but I guess I'll take the temping thing more seriously now and maybe even attempt sex in my fertile window. AF just left the house, so temping starts tomorrow.
Since I've sort of stalked the boards (call it research) for a while, I saw what used to go down here (there), and I totally understand some of the stupid that newbies bring. I hope I won't be one of those, but really, if I say something remotely stupid, call me out on it. I promise I won't go all PMS on you and call you a bully and throw an internet tantrum. I stopped reading for a few months when I gave up hope that DH would actually be ready any time soon, and when I came back yesterday I definitely noticed a change (there).. It's sort of odd (and I can't handle it!), but c'est la vie.
That's my story.
