Posting challenge! 1 Up, 1 Down

MaineBean · #1 January 24th, 2012, 06:33 AM

How about a posting challenge to help keep in touch the rest of this month? I'd love to see 50+ responses to this!

It's a quickie check in whenever you pop on to JM... Let us know 1 thing that has you UP at that moment, and 1 thing that has you DOWN.

If you don't have a DOWN, that's ok- just tell us the good stuff. But if you do have a DOWN, you've got to find at least on UP to balance it.

There's always something positive to find!

So let's hear it gals... what's going on at this moment in your world?

My UP is that we will be TTC again soon! (maybe next month)

My UP is that James slept all night and we had an amazing dinner last night.

My DOWN is that I have to run an errand on the way in to work to get my windshield replaced after a discovery of a HUGE crack in it this weekend. Blech.

One up is this weekend we are trading with friends to each get a date night!

One down is we are adjusting to new work and school schedule of Ben's and we all are having a hard time with it.

Up is troy is interviewing for a new position and we may be moving to houston very soon.

Up is that I managed to get my body to an early O this cycle! Down is that so much has gone right this cycle (that usually doesn't) that I will be crushed if I am not pregnant this month.

Up is started gymnastic with Elizabeth this week and not only is the gym amazing and the teacher awesome, but Elizabeth loved it and did really well. Down is my husband is in grad school now, so he gets home very late 4 nights a week, and might for the next 2 years.

UP is that so far no sign of PPD(sorry Angela...have you called your dr or midwife yet? Also, did you encapsulate the placenta this time?)! I am still watching and will be for some time but phew for now.

DOWN is that I decided no school this semester. I would have been required to take two classes and I just don't think that is manageable. I have mixed feelings about it...mostly just regret. Next semester, right?

UP: I had a great day with JP, just a Mommy and JP day.

DOWN: have been waiting for 5 days for the purchase and sale for our new house and am getting annoyed.

UP: i LOVE my new house
DOWN: i wish it would stop springing leaks.

Down: My kids hate sleep. Both of them. At the same time.

UP!: DH comes back from his work trip tonight so I should get some help tonight!

lynnicka · #12 January 25th, 2012, 07:58 AM

Up I have a gym membership that has a hot tub and I will be in it today!

Down both kids made sleep last night almost impossible.

Second up I called a counciling center yesterday and am registered. So soon someone should call me to set up my first meeting for PPD. I need it, but they are 5wks out but also only $15 for me yay!

MaineBean · #13 January 29th, 2012, 08:42 AM

Oooh, hot tub... that would be really nice!

Up: I got two nights in a row of great sleep after like 2 weeks of mediocre sleep for stupid reasons. (Sorry for everyone else that is dealing with lack of sleep- sounds like we've got a lot lately!)

Down: I don't feel like doing half of the chores I should.

Oh, another UP- I'm planning on making beer & cheddar soup with homemade soft pretzels and salad for dinner tonight. Beer + Cheese = Happiness
