The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 10

Ummmmm. NO!!!!!

Hi Gang.

I found a computer terminal in the waiting room here in the mommy-baby unit. Haven't had a chance to really read everything but this one kind of stood out. The Doctor kept making references to the next one last night as well. Not going to happen.

Anyway, everybody is doing great. It looks like we will all be leaving the hospital by midnight tonight. Amy, Alyssa, Matthew and I thank you for all the good wishes.

I'm sure Amy will update later. And of course there are lots of pictures we will send along. Talk again soon.

Hi Kevin - Congratulations! Who put Alyssa to bed last night? Is she anxious to see Matthew, or has she already? What does she think?

[legalslave]

Kate - I sent you a PM. I know you have a hundred, so I didn't want to get lost.

I just got an email from Lynn. She said she really needs prayers for her family. She did not give me any specifics, but did say there was MAJOR turmoil in her immediate family and that's why she hasn't posted lately.

She also wanted me to pass on congrats to Amy and Kevin.

 

[ReAnSt]

Thanks for the offer. I just have to spend some time with her to make sure she knows she has our support in whatever path she takes. She is struggling with what to do with her life. So many people her age have a direction and she just doesn't yet. I was the same way so totally understand but she is stressing over it. Plus, she doesn't have the best set of friends. People tend to take advantage of her - I had the same thing at her age! Of course, knowing that she is like mom doesn't help!

I know that feeling, I feel the same way and I am slightly older than her. I just don't know what I want to do with my life. More like I know what I want to do with my life, I just can't accomplish that right now or don't know how to do so.

I knew what type of job I wanted when I graduated from college but have yet to find it. I have been floundering to find a deccent job doing something I want for almost two years now. I am either over qualified or underqualified as they want 2 to 5 years or more of experience doing what I want to do. How can I get the experience if no one will give me a chance.

I have had intereviews, go back for a second, sometimes 3rd interview and they decide I am not who they want it is so frustrating.

I hate going to social situations where I will constantly be asked what I am doing, especially if these people have known me for years. Especially if they are older than me and have their "lives" together. I know that they are just trying to be nice but it makes me feel like a failure. They all seem to "know exactly" what I should do and where I should try to apply for a job. It makes me feel like I haven't been trying to do anything. I take their advice and try to use it to help me, but I can only handle so much. Now I am crying.

So I will be taking online grad classes come fall. I hope it will help me to achieve my goal. If not I'm not sure what my next direction will be.

Sending her and that she at least figures something out or feels better about her lack of decision. Try to encourage her to take one day at a time. I know it is hard.

Oh dear. I hope she isn't going through the same thing we are. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Lynn!!!!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Hey Becky -

I am 33 - have two kids and I STILL don't know what I want to be when I grow up!!!!!!!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Oh dear. I hope she isn't going through the same thing we are. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Lynn!!!!

I will keep her in my prayers

I wonder if it has to do with her son - the one who just had a baby

 

[KristineN]

I was always glad to leave......less time for them to give you or your healthy baby some kind of hospital borne illness! (yes, I am not big on hospitals!)

CONGRATULATIONS!!

So FUNNY -

I LOVED the time in the hospital and never worried about the germs

of course - I had a c-section and spent 4 days - I loved the good drugs you get at the hospital AND that all I had to do was ring the magic button and someone would come take my baby so I could sleep!!

I wish I still had the magic button!!!

ANything any of us can do? I didn't know what I wanted to do with the rest of my life at her age... just that I wanted to go to uni.

Tell us what her strength are and perhaps we could throw some ideas into the pot for her to think about

 

[rosiejo]

BTW, anyone else's *************** ticker not working? My doesn't change days...It should read 1 month 15 days....I think I am going to change it back to my old ticker.

I ditched mine - I don't think it has the right number of days in a month or something.

Mine said we left in four months from today... which is right I suppose as we do leave four months from this exact day... but we go on Nov 4 not the 8th... so it should have said four months on July 4.

 

[Tammi67]

Well, I borrowed a friend's steamvac, so I'm off to clean the carpets/furniture. I hope it works, and that I don't ruin anything!

Congratulations Kevin, Amy, and Alyssa! And a BIG Welcome to Matthew!

Yay!!! Tom's Back!!!!!! Where've you been? We've been missing you and pictures of you DD. It's nice to have you stop in again! Don't be a stranger!

 

[rosiejo]

CONGRATULATIONS!!

My friend had her first in November last year, went into hospital at about 3am and was home with baby by 10am! They told her that if she has another she probably won't even make it to the hospital in time as labour is quicker the second time around.

In fact come to think of it my boss' wife was the same with her second.

Prayers & in your travel through life as well. I struggled for many, many, many years in the same situation. I finally had someone in a job realize my potential and give me an opportunity that broke down the last door. I still had to fight when a promotion came up to prove that I had the experience (government for you - once you start working for them your previous life seems to be non-existent - it doesn't matter that I took a demotion to work for the state, to them since I was at a lower level, I must have always been at a lower level!!! But I digress). You just have to keep plugging along and you'll eventually get where you want to go.
