ttc#1 new looking for buddy!

[Jules8]

That sentence took a mind of it own! Lol is it usually pretty quiet or is it a rough area where it happened?

 

[TTTTina]

Well where I live in Washington, I live like 10 minutes away from a place called white center and there is are quite a bit of shootings going on there and burglarys so it's never really quiet where I live. The bar I normally go to is located there and one time I was at the bar and there was a shooting out front. The bartender locked the door and we all had to get on the ground. That was a scary night. My dh who was just my boyfriend at the time had given someone a ride home and then when he came back he couldn't get thru cuz the streets were closed. I just wanted to go home. I don't know why people have to go around shooting other people. It's horrifying

 

[Jules8]

That must have been super terrifying! I used to live in a bad area..I was in the liquor store when the cashier got robbed at gunpoint. I hid behind some shelves while calling 911. My husband lived in an even worse area..they had a curfew because of all the shootings. When we decided to move in together we decided to move out of the city area. We now live in Lancaster, Pa in a small little town...I absolutely love it! Lol We have annoying teenagers, but I can deal with that.

Oh my gosh scary! I just don't understand what goes through some people's minds! TTTTina, my sister lives up on the Friday Harbor Island!!! It's been YEARS since I've been up there though, next time I do I plan on touring Seattle! Haven't done that yet!
Hubby and I decided a while ago, we want to try and send our kids to a private school, for hopefully a better education and better behaved peers. The area we were in, and will actually be back in soon (!!!!!) the schools aren't ranked well.

I slept like a baby!!!! I feel some sinus pressure though so ick! But so far, no new symptoms.

 

[TTTTina]

Where the shooting happened this time, I'm not sure how that area normally is, I don't normally go there lol. Yeah, I was thinking of moving to a small town somewhere, I love the city but it can be a scary place to be, specially if you have kids. Normally you hear about high schools getting shot up, but when I heard about Sandyhook elementary, you just have to have some real problems to shoot up an elementary school. You've heard about Sandyhook, right?

You should tour seattle. I love seattle. Private school probably wouldn't be such a bad idea. I do live really close to an elementary school, and I went there as a kid, nothing ever happened there but times are changing and sometimes I don't know what the world is coming to

 

[MH5280]

We lived in Denver, and they do have some ok schools there, but not really! A year ago we moved to stupid Illinois for his job, and now were working on getting us back to Colorado, SOON! But I keep trying to tell my husband, we need to buy a house just outside of Denver, I really don't want to raise my kids IN Denver! It's a wonderful place don't get me wrong, it's just not my idea of where I want my kids to grow! Plus it's sooo expensive and we could get a newer, bigger house just outside for like $200k less than we'd spend on a smaller older home in the city. I sooo can't wait to get back there!!! I BETTER BE PREGO THEN DAMNIT!!!! Lol

 

[TTTTina]

We are saving up to move out of the area. I love Washington so we probably won't leave it, but just move to a different location and I'll be looking to see how the schools are before we move lol. It's crazy how one town can be cheap and then the towns right by are expensive. I think it has something to do with crime maybe. The place by me that has quite a bit of shootings is cheaper than where I live now

 

[Jules8]

I definitely heard of sandy hook..so sad! I will never understand why some people feel they have the right to hurt and kill others. I went to school to teach but took a different career route when I moved. I talked to my husband last week about going back to teaching so I can be around our kids and have similar schedules with them. I would not be opposed to looking for private school positions..I went to a private school and always hated it but now that I'm older I understand. It's just so expensive!

 

[MH5280]

So this is weird! We just went to run errands, and I'm sooo out of it! We were looking at salad dressing and said "look babe you could get cilantro lime Carlson" he looks and he and said "ceaser??" I SWEAR it said Carlson!!!! Then! We were talking about moving back and there isn't a freah market there where would we go? He said whole foods, and I said "now they have a Tokyo Joes there, but I don't that place".... He goes "what???? Do you mean Trader Joes???" Hahahaha OMG!!! I didn't even realize what I had said! It was just flowing out of my mouth like a regular conversation... Can you have pregnancy brain this early??? My friend says totally can, but idk!? It was hilarious but soo weird! He was like "seriously what is wrong with you today?!"

 

[Jules8]

Haha! That's too funny! We don't have either of those but I used to be by a trader joes. I loved that place but now I go to a place called Aldi's. We decided to do the mall and I was getting serious hot flashes and a lingering headache, which is weird to me. Hopefully good signs for both of us!

 

[MH5280]

Fingers crossed!!! Although sucky! I hope your feeling better!

 

[Jules8]

I'm feeling way better now! It was super odd...My husband even thought something was off because he randomly asked if I could be pregnant. It's super sweet but now I'm symptom spotting like crazy. Lol im really hoping this is the month but also trying to be ok and positive about next month if I get a bfn.

 

[MH5280]

I know exactly how you feel! But I totally know if and when I see that bfn, I'm just gonna be so PO'd and upset! I'm breaking and testing tomorrow, 2 days early but.... I have to! But I at the same time I'm like I know it'll be a bfn just like EVERY other time!! Soo confusing and hard! And makes me crazy!!

 

[Jules8]

Well, I'm on to next month. I am pretty sure AF is here...Ughhh! It's kind of weird that it started in the evening and light but I have cramps. Super lame!

 

[MH5280]

BFN for me this morning. I don't think that will change, I had some teeny tiny pink when I wiped this morning. I'm just so UGH!!!!!! Why?!?! Like what more can we do?!?! ... I mean the profanities that I wanna splurt out right now!!!... I'm just so mad and upset!

 

[Jules8]

Ttc is probably the most confusing thing ever..I just wish I knew that someday it will happen. It's not necessarily that it hasn't happened that bothers me but not knowing if it ever will. At least our AF didnt take forever and keep us guessing...I'm going to let myself have a grumpy,lazy Sunday then move on to next month. It just has to happen!!!

 

[MH5280]

I'm right there with ya Jules! I'm in a foul mood, I at least got out of bed, cleaned a little, husband is down stairs watching football so maybe I'll find some sappy lifetime movie to watch!

 

[Jules8]

My husband has work all day so I'm just hanging out by myself and watching home alone. Lol

 

[MH5280]

Home Alone is on?!?! Oh man!!! It's too early for Xmas stuff!!!
