Interesting week. My new attitude is working out better for me, and I've set some new rules in action for the babysitting. I now get to sleep in till 7-7:30 if I truly wanted, and Kristopher has less drama and noise first thing in the morning. The little kids get to sleep in a little and get about an hour extra with their mom in the mornings. She is only going to be here for like 15 mins before going to work. Less drama all around and hopefully everyone is less stressed.
I had a much better start to the morning, Kristopher woke up about 20 mins later than he had been and he also had a great day. The kids both came in pretty good moods as well.
I made a few other requests and I think things will go better for everyone.
My new approach is I will not keep my issues locked up. If it bothers me enough, I'm going to say something. If people get annoyed, then oh well. I think things are going to be better though.
I think it's safe to say that I've got Danielle potty trained now. At least here. It's been work in progress, but it's been about 5-6 weeks of her wearing underwear and we've only had 1 accident. Home is still an issue because she isn't asked frequently enough, but all I care about at this time is that she does great for me, both here and when we go away, and it's less diapers to deal with. 2 in diapers was hard! She's also started talking like crazy, and I find it pretty fun and hilarious with her new words. My least favorite word this week would be "Why??" Kristopher never really got into that one....
I had a weird spam thing the other day based on my blogger profile. It was interesting. Luckily I'm smart enough to not fall for it.
Cycle/TTC wise. It's day 9. I didn't really post much on it lately, but it was an ugly start. I spotted for several days to about a week. It was a very bad period. I also ended up with a yeast infection somehow and I panicked. How exactly does one treat that while having that issue at the same time? I was not about to waste the $20 on a kit just to have it not work, and decided to call the dr first. They were nice enough to just call in a script for me for the pill, and it finally seems to work. It wasn't really a full blown infection, but I had the uncomfortableness and pain. Still lingering and I just took my 2nd pill. It's day 3 of that treatment. Interesting though. Ugh.
TTC....I'm still in a stuck point. I'm not sure what I want anymore. Of course there is that part of me that would love more than anything to get to experience it all again. But I'm questioning if I should at this point. Kristopher is getting older and if there would be another, we're at the point now that there would be at least 7 years between kids. I didn't want that. We're also getting into a lot more expense and other stuff, so I worry about the money aspect of things. And then there is the fact I have nothing and would start over. Completely. And the lack of sleep. I am really starting to value my sleep.....I just don't know. Right now I'm going with whatever happens, happens, but well...I just don't know.
And another thing. If I didn't need the possibility of maternity coverage, I could get a very much cheaper insurance policy. Just a lot of random thinking lately.
I'm tired and have a ton of things planned for tomorrow. Off to bed and hopefully a goods night sleep.
I'm pretty behind on reading, but I feel you on the second kid thing. I personally like the idea of being able to stretch out the motherhood thing, but once you get so far apart it becomes a different thing. That said, you're still pretty young (we're the same age, right?) so it's not like you are so far down the road the thought of starting over is ridiculous. And on the sleep thing. Can I just tell you that it has been more than a year since I have gotten 8 hours of sleep in a row.
