Holy crap, it's a new year! & it seems like we have lost some people. I hope to see more traffic for OAD. I can't keep up anywhere else. Not to mention I miss quite a few old posters.

hey-o!
I'm still here. My ex is still living here. Hopefully she'll move out this month. She finally applied for an apartment on Tuesday.
I'm seeing an amazing woman who is everything I've ever wanted and never knew I needed. I'm happily moving forward!

We're going on vacation in a couple weeks & I have my usual travel anxiety that has started already. 🤣 I still have stuff to book so that may be the cause of it as well. 💆

I upgraded my phone this week and I'm getting used to it. I put off getting a new phone for almost a year even though my old one kept having a lot of problems. It's actually an awesome phone - refurbished Pixel 2 XL.

There's so much going on right now. I've had a migraine for a few days. I finally took my prescription med for it since excedrin ain't cutting it. I hope it nips it in the butt. I really need our vacation right about now. It's thunderstorming & DH has hail by his job. I'm also looking into an opportunity for sending DS to a STEM school next year which involves an application & more of a headache thinking about logistics. I'm just driving myself crazy. I need to check out of my head.

I've been lurking the No Spend thread in GD. For us it's more reigning in shopping and eating out, not necessarily no spending. Outside of those areas we have fixed bills. So far we've been doing really well. There's a roast in my crockpot for tonight. DD is really looking forward to dinner. It's been 20° for several days and it's supposed to snow three inches tomorrow. Cold weather and a hot comfort meal is the best.

Not sure if I can go here yet, but how did you guys decide you were OAD? We did IVF after trying for years, 6 failed TI/IUIs, and just a whole lot of heartbreak. Anyway, we have our little M who is almost 15 months and 4 frozen embryos. I get exhausted thinking about having another one, if we were able to. I'm not sure if we are done - i'm 50/50 right now.
I thought this might be a good group to ask.

family service worker for the head start program. Kind of like a case manager. I didn't get it but they called me back to come in today for a teacher position but then I had to bring in DS because his developmental pedi appt was running late. I'm done. 🤦

I hope your weekend is looking up, at least. And something positive comes your way for a job. ETA spelling

I thought this might be a good group to ask. First, hugs. Second, welcome! Yes we get people of all different jouneys here. For me, OAD was mostly circumstances. I have a complicated medical history and we were lucky to have one healthy child and relatively healthy mama. Finances also played a role. Now that she's older we like to give her experiences that we otherwise wouldn't be able to do with more kids.

Snowed in at the Giraffes house. There was a lot of outside playing today and dh had the snowblower working overtime. It's been a slow day overall and I'm glad we finally get some downtime.

Hit enter too soon. It really is a difficult and very personal decision to make.

Coincidentally, I'd also be high risk with another pregnancy because of my PTL & DS being a preemie so who wants to deal with that but I just feel like my family is complete. I am loving him getting older & can't imagine starting over again.

DS is off of school today for staff development. Over the weekend we went to Hot Wheels Live. It was cool. DS, being a Monster Jam connoisseur, enjoyed it so I'm glad we got tickets for Christmas to surprise him with. Now we're just counting down to vacay since we leave Saturday so there's that. Allelu!
