My vacation is officially over.
Boo.
Coming back to work has been especially hard today. Marc & I are working very hard to pay off our debt so that when we do have a baby that I can stay home or at least only work part-time. With that in mind, it's even harder to be at work. I'm ready for the next chapter in my life but I still have things to do before I can reach that.
#1 - Continue to lose weight
#2 - Pay off all debts except car and student loans.
Both of those seem like GIGANTIC obstacles but we are getting there. Sometimes I feel like more pressure is on me to get Marc & I ready for a family. I have to lose the weight and I'm in charge of paying all the bills. Marc gives input on the bills and he helps by keeping me motivated and not buying frivilous things but again, I'm the one who is in charge and I have to lose about 40ish more pounds before we start trying.
I'm just ready for the next steps, I want to be there already. I feel like I'm in a waiting zone just killing time, and for a super impatient person like me this is torture!!

I am in the same boat as you right now. It does seem like a long waiting process, but I keep reminding myself how amazing it will be when we finally get there. The waiting does get to me on occasion though for those times I just remind myself what I am working toward and how amazing it will be when we get there.
I'm trying to pay off debts and loose weight, its really hard work. Hope that being back at work goes well.
I'm probably a hugely bad influence to your mature, well-laid plans, but there is NEVER a good time to have a baby! No one is ever prepared. No one is ever "ready". Just do it and all that stuff will work itself out!
Shannon - I just feel like I'm in a holding pattern and I'm ready for things to move on!
Alison - Paying off our debts has been really hard but I'm sick of having it hang over my head.
Amandakiska - I hear ya. I know there is no perfect time but I must be under 300lbs in order to deliver at the hospital my ob/gyn is at if I'm not have I have to be sent to a speciality doctor in the city and that is too much traveling and stress so I want to meet that weight goal more than anything before we start trying. There are some days when I just want to throw my pills out but I know going into the city would be hugely stressful for me at a time where stress is not good.
I have to admit, I am an impatient woman as well! But you'll get there, and then how amazing will that feel? :)
I keep telling myself that it will feel amazing, I just have to try to be patient....not an easy thing for me!
Same here...I worry about it all - the bills and money! He just spends...not frivously but those debit card transactions add freakin up!
