Tons of Kids

I know I haven't posted much lately but lurk when I can and I do see lots of you on FB.  Hi!!!!   I could really use a good confession to friends who really understand.  So here goes.....

I confess...

that I'm super baby itchy.  I tell dh that it would be ok if we didn't have anymore but I don't know if I mean it or not.

that I will only have one more baby, closing up shop after that.

that I really, really, really want another girl.  I love each and every one of my kids but I've had 3 boys in a row, my girls are 18, 16 and 10.  And I just want to do the girly thing one more time. 

that I'm already thinking baby names for a boy and know that Luke would love to have a little brother/partner in crime.

that I'm going to drive myself crazy because we're going to wait til the summer to ttc.

(This is a big one) that my brother is coming over with his 3 kids tomorrow, uninvited.  Dh and I are taking all 7 kids out for the day so that we don't have to see them.  It's not the kids I don't want to see, it's my brother.  And my mom doesn't even know we've made plans not to be here.  How awful is that?

that Allison is coming home today and I am so excited to see her.  I just hope it goes well.  She gets a bit overwhelmed sometimes because she's gotten used to being without us.  Makes me sad.

that I'm freaking out about the whole month of December.  I really don't want to deal with the madness and rushing around this year.  It's crazy that I've already got so many commitments and it's only November.

that I can't wait for Thanksgiving.  I LOVE to cook and I love having the whole family home for 5 days.

that I have conferences for Jake today and I'm kinda nervous.  I think he is too.

that I have about a million things to do in the next hour (or at least 15, lol) so I better get going.

I always love a good confession. :)

I confess:

I don't have a baby itch. Not at all. That is so weird. But I am hoping that once we decide to be "done" that I'll feel just like this.

I am so glad football is over. This week had been 1,000 times easier.

I should have called my grandmother 2 days ago, but I am avoiding it.

I am kind of glad the whole thing with Brian's cousin happened yesterday. As much as it peeved me, it has been hanging over our heads for a year. I've been waiting for one of those twits to contact us. More than likely we'll never hear from them again.

I feel bad for my MIL b/c chemo is pretty rough on her. I really miss seeing her all the time like we used to, but no one wants to risk her getting sick.

I just looked in my backyard and there are some leaves out there. I thought briefly about raking them, and then decided it was better for the grass to just let them be. lol

I burned my tongue eating chili while typing this, yet kept eating the chili.

Brian and I are dieting. Really he's dieting and I am supporting him by eating less and not having junk in the house. He is working so hard and I am so proud of him.

It drives me nuts that the kids don't shut doors. At this very moment, my pantry and hall closet doors are open b/c they are too lazy to shut them and I am too stubborn to do it.

On a related topic, do your kids break doorknobs? I swear I by them by the half dozen at Lowes. My kids are constantly breaking the doorknobs so they won't latch. What the heck do they do to them?

I am psyched for Thanksgiving, but it is really the sides that I like. Turkey, well it just tastes like turkey. Brian wants to get a special turkey from a local turkey farm. He's all psyched for it. I am happy for him, but I think it'll just taste like turkey. lol

I still have not gone for my 6 week PP diabetes check. Ben turned 6 months last week.

That is about it for my confessions. I bet I have more and do a 2nd string of them. Happy confessing ladies!

Hugs,

I confess....

i am glad to see Cristy pop in :)

i totally feel for Martie's relief that football is over. we offered but no one chose to do a sport this fall and it has been really nice.

i was quite shocked about a 4th boy in a row

i am already in love with him

i adore finding out the gender early (our first time)

i have absolutely no idea what to name him (dh has no idea either). i think we may need help :)

i am tired of stressing about the potential relocation, gave dh another good talking too about him doing his own soul searching and get back to me in 2 weeks. no pressure right? LOL life goes on in the mean time

i don't know what has happened the past 6 months but since spring i have been more productive (pg and before) than for probably the decade prior

'gitterdone' has become my middle name

due date is coming up for my writers workshop and i am not ready.... again....

we will start putting our Christmas up this weekend. Yea, that's right! woohoo!

hugs Sher Go with the flow of good chaos

Ty for posting this CIC.
CIC...
I gained 6 lbs. over the weekend.

My Mom is not doing well w/the new diet and it’s making her really depressed and I wonder what quality of life she has.

I thought a heart attack would really change her life and it hasn’t.
Our vacuum is broken.

Our place is a wreck.

I’m not looking fwd to the holidays.

I am looking fwd to time off even though I’m not sure we’ll be able to do anything.

I’m really close to going to the Dean to complain about one of my Professors because she’s heinous.

However, I’m really, really enjoying the content of both classes & my other Prof is fabulous.

I love doing HS but, I wish I was better at it and pushed more.
I miss crafting & baking big for the holidays.

I have no clue what to do for everyone for the holidays and I have no clue what to do about our family photos.

I can’t tell the difference between an evap line and a real line.
I am hopeful but, I’m super nervous.

I’m not sure I want to tell anyone, including DH, if it gets darker, even though we’ve been TTC and he knows I’m charting.

Something’s wrong w/my neck and I need a root canal and I don’t want to do anything about either but, worry about both.

I’m really worried about 2 friends because one is going through a separation and one involves stalker.

This yr has been a disaster and I really hope that next yr is better.
