The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 4

OMG, all of you stop! Like four posts in a row. I hope I AM sick, seriously! You're freaking me out Luckily, you have good timing. I shouldn't have to worry long.

Mr. Kate thinks you are pregnant

More requests: I had to start a new design gallery for these - you can link to them in my signature! Feel free to use them

WOW!!!!

Those are SOOOOOO cool!!!! I don't which Emma would like the best. She loves Pooh & Tigger (her soft side) but she also really loves Bruce. I may make her a few of these just for summer. It is so hard to find T's that aren't too girly for her and aren't really boyish. These would be great for her!

I was trying again to figure out photoshop but now I just feel really queazy. I don't know if I'm getting Emma's bug or what. I am NOT pregnant!!!! I did figure out how to download a Disney font and use that but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to change the font color or how to actually get it to print on the 4 x 6 card. I thought Macs were supposed to be easy. I guess I'll be doing Lizzy's autograph cards on my old PC. I'll have to buy a book or try to find a class or something. It is just so frustrating.


Denise and Marti-my prayers are still with both of you and your families.

Are we taking bets??

Are we taking bets??

Please, no... I'd REALLY rather not think about it.

I'll just promise to keep you all informed in return, how's that sound?

 

[Tammi67]

That sounds good!!

 

[tink2020]

That sound good!!

Thanks!

I hope you are not, seriously sick, but I also hope for your sanity at the current time that you are not pregnant. But according to post #10917 on page 728 deep down you truly do wish you had a baby or a kid to worry about.

Roll my eyes about that?! I'll just be jealous that you have babies to talk about and miss!

Whatever the case may be I hope you feel better soon.

Well, yes I do. I can't wait to be a few years older, settled into a routine, and with babies to worry about.

But I'm starting a new job in July. So is DH. Right now we have zero income that isn't to be repaid. We have a pre-approval for a mortgage based on both of our salaries for the next few years, not just one or one and a half of them.

I want kids, but not until I can stay at home with them as much as feasible. And I have a home to stay in. And some money to support them. Until DH is closer to being out of residency (both from a financial standpoint, and a family standpoint), kids would be a really bad move right about now.

The truth of the matter is, I have "wanted a baby" since my friend had one at 16. But I've also known that there are some things that should be in place, if at all possible, before that happens. I still feel that way, and I don't feel like those "things are in place" to where we are ready.

Just my opinion, but I wanted to clarify since I did make that comment just a few weeks ago.

ETA: Just to avoid hearing about the reality of things, I am aware that sometimes life cannot be planned out. If and when we are blessed with children, we will be thrilled. We're just also trying to be responsible about the whole thing, since it's sort of a big deal

Yes he does. And there will be a test to see how well he did.

 

[tink2020]

Yes he does. And there will be a test to see how well he did.

With all the fun we have around here, I don't know that I could pass the test... and I've been around since the beginning!

I think the only one around here who would do really well on a test is Kate the Queen and I am certain she keeps file folders on all of us.

Well you should definitely stick around! One of your fellow UK DISers will enjoy your company late at night while we are all sleeping and she is catching up! Or when a few of us are up, and looking for someone to keep us company. We'll have 2 people to go looking for!

Who's still here?

I need some sanity! So Kyle and I are here in Ottawa (OH) at my in-laws. My MIL, Kyle and I were supposed to go to this bar tonight and see my BIL's band play, right? Well, something really legimate made me not feel comfortable going. I'm not going into it, but just know that it was valid. And I dont think i'm just being biased.

So I tell DH politely and aside from everyone, that I would rather he and MIL just go, others will be there, etc but please let me stay here. I don't mind, and it would make me most comfortable. No, he won't have it. If I'm not going, then he isn't either (valiant, huh? not really, at least not IMO after the rest of the events unfold ). So he tels MIL that we aren't going. None of us. I say no, I think they should go. It's not fair to troy (BIL) that none of us show up, please just go and i'll stay here. they won't have it.

so I go along, not thrilled about it to say the least. Well they won't shut up about it in the car, making me more uncomfortable. I decide that they will go, i will get back in the car and go home, and I will pick them up when tney are through. Really inconvient for me, since I wanted to stay home in the first place, but whatever. Better than going in, IMO at this time.

Mind you, I'm really tactful about all this. Well, DH gets "upset". This is not mad, how dare you think he's "mad". (That's the reaction I got anyway when I asked him how he had a right to be upset with me). So it turns into something uglier, while MIL walks about 3 feet away "to give us privacy" and watches/listens to our whole conversation.

So here I am, COMPLETELY put out having to drive home in sleet in a city where I don't know my way around in the daytime, let alone at night. I have to stay up and go BACK out and get them..... and yet I've been painted as all sorts of words that won't get through the filter. ***?!


I swear my DH is great. He's wonderful, I love him dearly, we aren't having problems, etc.

But WHAT IS IT ABOUT INLAWS?!?!??! That's what irks me the most. She wouldn't shut up about "if Jen's not going, nobody is" and he went along with it?! and then watching us argue? As if "advising us" on homes to buy wasn't enough.

Maybe we should have matched elsewhere.







Thanks for letting me vent. Now hopefully someone is here to keep me company and keep me from sitting here fuming. Am I totally wrong in this? It wouldn't be a first time I suppose. But it's got me reeling... going back and forth between being furious and wanting to cry. I just feel like I shouldn't have been put in the position to change everyone's plans in the first place.

I could wirte volumes about my in-laws and my DH's behavior around them. I constantly have to remind him that Kyle and I are his family now and we need to come first.
I'm sorry this happened!
