Lol thats tough.. I know what you mean about dogs though they are a hassle. We had 3 dogs before my son was born, as I got into the last couple weeks of my pregnancy and especially once the baby came home I wanted nothing to do with them, especially because they were the most disobedient dogs I had ever seen! They would get into the trash and spread it everywhere, one of them was constantly chewing on stuff she shouldnt be chewing..ugh. it got to the point where if I felt they were being bad, I wouldn't feed them. My husband wouldn't help out with them because they "weren't his dogs" I don't know who decided they were MINE and not OURS.. But we ended up getting rid of them, because I couldn't stand them anymore and wasn't able to care for them properly because of that. Plus we were preparing to move at the time and couldn't take them with us anyway. They all went to someone I know but they all have different homes now.
I do hope to get my kids another dog one day, probably the first christmas after we buy a house, so probably 2 and a half more years but definitely only one at a time and we will definitely be signing it up for doggy kindergarten! lol.
Oh and it looks like me and my hubby will indeed be moving when our lease is up, not with his sister and her fianace as they changed their minds (they don't know what they want to do after they get married in february) but with his best friend and his girlfriend, and his 5 month old daughter (well she will be like 9 months when we move i guess)
I told him since it will only be 2-3 weeks ish after having a baby, not to expect me to help out with heavy cleaning or moving things though. But we will most likely be moving things on the 31st of october and not only is that halloween its also my hubby and I's anniversary. I don't want to spend it moving I want to spend it with my hubby and take our son trick or treating. (I don't think the baby will need candy but she'll be coming along too of course lol). I told him if he's moving us that day then I'll be spending it with my mom so that she can go with me to do trick or treating.
I already wrote a way long post about not wanting to move in the 2nd trimester forum a couple days ago, so I won't go into too much detail but basically I was not liking the idea for many reasons, especially because I don't like the idea of a room mate as a married couple with kids and its 45 minutes farther away. But my hubby told me if I stop "freaking out" (which I definitely was not doing I am just trying to be logical about this move) that when the time comes for us to buy a house in a couple years we can go up to the place I want to move to and take a look there, (even though I KNOW he's only saying this to shut me up and chances are if we go up there he's not going to take anything seriously anyway) but its a start I guess.. =/
He has to take a test to get into the RN program with the medical school he did his CNA through and if he gets a good enough grade he can begin in january! Rather than waiting on a list for 3+ years with the school he's doing the pre reqs through to even start the program! I'm sure he will pass. So assuming he does start school in january, its 18 months long so 2 years from now and we can begin our search for a permanent home! of course our lease wherever we move won't be up until october or november of that year unless they go month to month after a year (I know many places around here do) so we'd still be paying on that for a while but I can finally see this coming to an end! I cant wait till we can buy our house and I can FINALLY paint and decorate rooms for my kids
stickers just aren't going to do it for me lol. Thats the sucky thing about renting..you really can't make much of a nursery unless you want a white nursery..
