Another week gone by ...

I should rename this The Monday Blog.
Tuesday and Wednesday were kind of hectic at work. I worked at Loft on Tuesday night and we had a meeting there afterwards. I didn't get to bed until 11.
Wednesday was pretty much my only night at home ... we had popcorn shrimp and fries and hung out with Diana. After work I had lunch with mom at Mimi's and then we went to the mall where a returned/exchanged a few things. My eye started hurting me that afternoon. Just my left one. I took my contacts out when I got home. Oh, I also signed up for the Mini Marathon on Wednesday night! YAY! It's on April 26th.
On Thursday, my eye leaked all day at work. I did get to cook lunch, though. That's pretty much the norm on Thursdays now, though. It's always a fast day. :o) I went to mom's house afterwards and took a long nap before work. I got home around 10:10 that night.
On Friday I went to the eye doctor in the morning and she gave me some antibiotic drops for my eye. I was on call at work that night and they needed me, so I had to go. Boo. Three nights a week is too much! But Eric took me to work because I was afraid to drive with my eye. I worked on shipment for three hours and then we stopped at Dairy Queen before heading home.
Work on Saturday went pretty quickly. It wasn't too busy. Slept when I got home. It was nice. :o)
Eric got a "gift" at work on Friday ... we got to go out and spend up to $150 on whatever we wanted. So on Saturday night we had a lovely evening out at the English Grille (in the Brown Hotel). The couple behind us got engaged. Then we had a very nice carriage ride and the carriage behind us had a just married couple in it - still in their gown and tuxedo! After the carriage, we had dessert at Pie Kitchen, and then came home and almost fell asleep on the couch.
Yesterday was a pretty lazy day. We slept until 8:30 and watched TV/slept on the couch until 10:30. We decided to go see a movie, so we saw "Knocked Up" at Village 8. I cried at the end. I loved the movie, though. We went the mall to look at the new Apple Store, walked around a few other places, then came home. We made dinner and sat around a little bit, then decided to drive over to Seneca and Cherokee Parks to look for running trails. We were going to run, but we just drove around instead. Once home, we hung out with Diana a little bit (she left for Switzerland this morning) and then showered and watched the beginning of "When Harry Met Sally" while we fell asleep.
I know I think about having a baby a lot ... I know I focus on one thing until it happens. It's just the way I am. It's not that I just want to have one to HAVE one. It's the whole thing. It's having one with Eric ... it's experiencing more new things with him. We have a wonderful relationship, and I can't wait to grow even closer with him. Yes, I want to be a mommy and raise my children and be just like my mom was to me, but I also want to take care of a family. I know that children are expensive and they change everything, but that is okay with me! As long as Eric and I go through this next step together, I can accept the fact that everything is going to change. I love the way that things are now. I really do. But I definitely have the mommy bug and I can't wait to bring a new life into the world. It is extremely important to me. Eric wants everything to be "right" before we have a baby. I won't get into details because I know it's pretty personal stuff, but I'll just stay that I can't count the number of people who have told me that things will NEVER be "right." You just have to do it and accept the fact the time may not be PERFECT. But for the simple fact that I want Eric to want it as badly as I do, I am going to try my hardest to wait for Eric to catch up to me. :o) I have to be honest, though, and say that it sucks really badly. It sucks wanting to have a family and that your husband wants to wait, and you want to try to make him understand how you feel, but it's always fruitless. I want him to come home one day and tell me he wants to have a baby. I feel like that's never going to happen. I know it won't happen that way, but I know he'll change his mind someday. I just hope it's soon. Yeah, that's me. I'm impatient.
Okay, enough ranting for now. I'm going running.

3 Observations or Opinions:
So I guess it's not just a "Foley" thing. It's a guy thing. And it always seems to be your husband feeling this way and not any other guys. All of his guy friends are ready and he never seems to be ready!!! I feel your pain. It doesn't get better, sorry:(
it is a guy thing. I told Jeremy last week that I wanted to have 3 kids, 2 girls and a boy. and he said that he really didn't want any kids at all, especially not three. But, I take comfort in the fact he also didn't want another cat when we got Turtle, and now he loves her:) granted, cats and kids are apples and oranges...
At least I have some comfort in knowing that I'm not the only wife that feels this way. Thank you. :o)
