Despite my many manic moods swings….it has been a pretty good week.
Being more ‘social’ has certainly picked up my spirits.
I really enjoyed seeing my best bud on Monday. Sure it wasn’t an ‘adult’ night out, but we had good sushi and a good laugh. I don’t see her enough.
I enjoyed our only parent friends hanging with us on Tuesday. Our kids get on great. Their one year old has got to be the cutest thing on the planet. And they lent us their luggage!
Yesterday I had to stop in to see my family doc. He wanted to make sure I was on a registry for a medication that I had tried before getting pregnant. I thought it worked great, but stopped because it was too new and didn’t have any information about side effects regarding pregnancy. I sure don’t need any more things to blame for poor Scott.
I love my doctor. He is almost a stereotype of what a family doctor should be like. He even has this hollywoodish Scottish accent.
Anyway, add him to the list of people who think I look great and thinks I am doing great.
Good.
And mostly I do feel good.
But I worry.
CH and I had a bit of a disagreement on the weekend, and it really affected me. Probably too much. I tend to take fights really really seriously and probably dwell (stew) on them waaaay too much.
I also feel like I don’t want to bring up ‘icky’ stuff right now because, frankly, I don’t want to spoil our holiday.
But then part of me feels awful for planning ‘bad’ things AFTER the holiday.
Does any of this make sense?
The biggest thing for me is that we do not have a Will. I also am a financially helpless SAHM right now. HOPEFULLY that will be taken care of today. CH has finally agreed that planning for the worst MIGHT be a good idea.
That helps me.
I am also extremely flattered that he has totally involved me in the design process of his website. I am really enjoying it. The team we are working with are fantastic. This blows our minds after over two years of dealing with TOTAL LOSERS who screwed us over.
All this really gets me fired up about my own webby stuff and I feel I need to really pursue the opportunities out there.
Again.
I was really fired up LAST year too. Going to BlogHer and everything. Then life came and kicked us all in the teeth.
Please don’t do that this year.
I HOPE to go to BlogHer this year. We will see when we get back from Disney.
I am also hoping to get a bunch of the Wet Coast Women together for a ‘meet’ this coming month. THAT will be exciting.
I need to push myself again. But push myself in FUN things.
While taking care of the the mundane yucky things…..and NOT dwelling on them.
I need to lighten up.
I need to roll with the punches.
But take charge at the same time.
Hmmmmm
Good for you! I’ve been trying to do more of this lately too. Life is too short to get all bogged down with the mundane. And I hope to see you at Blogher!
Hope you will forgive me for a great big finger wag in your direction! You MUST have a will!!! It’s a bit hard to talk about but not nearly as hard as imagining the government deciding who gets your kids and your assets not going where they should. It is actually really easy and over quickly and you will feel very good to have it done.
I can so relate. I’ve been fretting over my financial dependance lately too (maybe it’s an age thing….) I also stew waaaay too much over arguments. I’ll never admit this to my hubby, but I wonder sometimes if I’m just hormonal.
Yes, a will is something that needs to be done. I also think you need to make sure your husband has adequate life and disability insurance. Try not to stress over it… it just needs to be done.

I am hoping to go to Blogher as well. Maybe when we meet for the WCW do we can discuss. I would feel much better going with someone I have met offline. 🙂
I hope you go to BlogHer, too! I would love to meet you.
P.S. I bet gathering with “Wet Coast Women” WOULD be QUITE exciting. (HEE! I couldn’t help it. I’m not an edit freak, but it was such a funny misspell!)
Setting up a will and a trust is incredibly important for children, pets, and all aspects of your household. This being said – all it takes is one visit to an attorney’s office to solve the issue…so don’t stress too much. Make the appointment and breathe… breathe..
It will all work out.
I’ve been hounding my hubby to get life insurance and do a will….I have both…but can’t seem to get him to do his…with both of us having children from our previous marriages it makes it all the more important i think…cover the sticky stuff….
About the get together…..it’s for the 18th right? I so want to be there…they have me now doing the work conditioning program starting next week…5 days a week….if the gathering is later like dinnner or cocktails I think I can make it….keep me posted ok…..
