Here are the thoughts/emotions that are currently bouncing around in my head:
I love my job, just wish I didn't have to be here right now. I am tired and would rather be sleeping. Thank goodness this is only a 4 day week!
Money - Always envisioned myself as the stay at home mom, but honestly I make more and Chris is a trained teacher. Maybe it makes more sense for him to stay home when the time comes. That's his argument anyway. Depending on the day I agree or disagree. Hard to let go of something you have always just assumed would happen
Fat (I am ) - Ugh...I am sick of dieting, but I am also sick of being fat. Really need to figure out how to just slay this dragon. I have been exercising more, but need to get my diet figured out. One day I think Atkins, the next I think Weight Watchers. The problem is if you don't commit to one or the other you are just eating high-carb hich-fat everything. Not a good plan!

Oh friend...way to lay out the problems most of us women deal with.
It's good sometimes just to put it on paper (blog) and express those annoying feelings of life's hurdles.
Know you're not alone in those thoughts...diets suck...in-laws are never your own...God will bless you with a baby...diets still suck...
Did I mention diets suck? :-)
Psalm 139:23-24, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” (NIV)
In laws- you will grow to like them more, but they will never be like your very own family.
babies- Takes me a while to get knocked up too. Try using http://www.mymonthlycycles.com it makes you feel like you have some control.
Fat- Me too, babe. I can't drop weight while breast feeding, so I am stuck in my fat clothes.
Staying at home- I love it, but every family is different. Think outside the box: job shares, nanny shares, split shifts, long leaves, etc...
I like your brain vomit, it gives me a chance to really "hear" you.
I have never thought about being a stay at home mum, but thinking about it now I am at home for 6 months, I think it would drive me crazy! I am taking full advantage of the next 6 months and will love every minute with Evie, but I think I will be ready to return to grown up world by the middle of Jan. Having said that, we do have a lot of support and Evie will only have to go to childcare 3 days a week and Grannies are having her the other 2 days. You'll know what to do when the time comes. xxx
