attention girls: embrace your inner...

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

As one of two, I have never lacked for attention. If anything, my parents were sometimes too hands-on. But I'd rather have too much attention than two little.

May, I very much like the idea that family with six kids had.

I'm one of two as well and luckily my parents have always made an effort to keep things even between us.

^Mine too.
Edit: Late breaking development...
I had a bra fitting today... I am no longer a 38D...
I am a... ... 36DD. I CAN'T SHOP FOR BRAS AT TARGET ANYMORE!!!
On the upside, I got three new bras...
Bra Number 1
Bra Number 2
Bra Number 3
And they feel great!

Most women wear the wrong size bra so congrats on the fitting.

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

Thanks, kimc!
I still can't believe I'm a DD.
The fitter tried me in a 34DDD.
Bra number 3 works great!

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

^^ Pretty! I get fitted every time I go bra-shopping, just in case my body has decided it wants to redistribute the weight a little.

Now that is something I will definitely look into purchasing in the near future.

Number 2 feels almost like I'm not wearing one!

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

I was supposed to go bra shopping, but it got postponed, and then it got postponed again when I decided that BSG season 2.5 was more important. Here's hoping that the slightly-stretched elastic on the strapless I'm now having to wear almost every day holds on until next Wednesday.

^Hang in there, Scatta...

I am exhausted tonight. I had a rough day with the munchkins next door, and I felt really frustrated. I was trying to get the oldest kids down for a nap, and the oldest child had to go potty. The other child was not going down, and he was being rather frustrating because he wouldn't stay in bed while I tended to the oldest's problem. The mom was right in the next room and could probably tell I can't be in two places at once, and she didn't come and help until I was rather frustrated. I felt terrible feeling grumpy about it.
Last night, I had a major case of the moody blues... I'm 27 and I feel like no matter how hard I've tried, I've never been able to figure out me. I thought I'd be in a different place in my life by now, but I'm beginning to think that I'll never be anything more than I am at this moment, because I must've really screwed up somewhere...
Am I just losing it right now?

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

No, you're not losing it. You're just not where you thought you'd be at this point. You know what? Very few of us are where we thought we'd be or have what we thought we'd have (not the material things).

You didn't screw up anything. You're exactly where you're supposed to be, for whatever reason that is. Sometimes God puts us somewhere to teach us something; sometimes it's so that someone can learn something from us; and sometimes we're in holding pattern until whatever he has planned for us is ready for us. Which is it for you? I don't know, and I doubt you'll know until you're able to look back on this time in your life and see with the clarity of hindsight.

My best advice -- take a hot bubble bath, say a prayer, and get a good night's sleep. Things will look better in the morning.

(((hugs)))

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

Thanks, May. *Enjoys the hug*
It feels like I've been in a holding pattern for not quite six years now.

On a different note, I made play dough for the munchkins. I think we'll have a quiet day at home tomorrow. I'm feeling really winded, and I haven't felt like that in some time.

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

^I know what you mean. I have everything I would have told you I wanted to have in my life when I grew up if you'd asked me when I was about 11 or 12. It's a great life...for someone else.

I believe in God's plan as well, but I also believe that He gave us free will. We can't mess up His plan, but we can mess up. So, if you don't like where you are, figure out what you don't like and how (and if) you want to change it.

[smirks slightly at the contrast in personality types between herself and May ]

In the meantime, have fun with those kids and make sure that anything you do leaves you plenty of time for them, as you clearly love that.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

^I love them... most of the time. The younger boy is really a cuddlebug and the oldest is a sweetie. But today...
I think we all have different ideas of what God's plan for us entails. God does see the endgames for us and the paths we may choose. I think He sees the alternate timelines, myself... otherwise, we wouldn't have free will.
Like my free will today... I shouldn't have eaten that pepperoni pizza. As a result of my will to choose to eat that, my !@#!#!#@!! ulcer acted up, which is a big part of why I'm winded. I haven't felt this tired since... well, it's been a while. It drains me when I have a bad attack.

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

^Aw...

Have something nice and bland but still yummy, though I really don't know what to virtually pass you this time.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Re: attention girls: embrace your inner twitch.

It's okay. Virtual food doesn't hurt me!
I made a lethal chocolate mousse today while my boys played with the play dough I made them. The older one wouldn't eat his breakfast, but I made him sit at the table until he ate it. He even peed on the chair to try to avoid eating, but I marched him upstairs had him put on his clean undies and pajamas (today was pajama day) and come back downstairs to eat and he ate. Then at lunch he wouldn't eat, so I told him he has to eat his lunch after his nap. Should he refuse, he won't go on an evening outing to Bellevue Square Mall's tugboat big toy. It's a favorite spot for kids to play, and if my young charge refuses to eat, he'll go to bed early and his little brother and I will have some fun. This older boy is learning that Nanny Peach means business. He can be such an angel-- he is a good listener most of the time-- but he's got a stubborn streak. Unfortunately for him, though, so do I.

^I wouldn't mess with you.

I'm hoping it's just my hormones that are making me so utterly depressed and cranky today. It's my birthday, and yet everything feels so utterly pointless and frustrating.

I'm looking at years before getting a stable teaching position, but I have to find somewhere to live in the next year and a half in a market that has less than 1% vacancy and high prices, my car is dead and I need a new one, and my only parent is planning a move a distance away that will mean that I'll only see them once a year, if that.

I'm just feeling really lonely and sad. I had planned to live and die in this area, but it's not affordable for a one person budget, and there just doesn't seem to be a point. A large part of me is saying that I should take my teaching degree and head elsewhere.

What a crappy birthday.
