I just thought it was funny, out of all the things in the world that could've been in that box, it was a Keurig.
As for the question, "What do I do?" I have a degree in Chemical Engineering, worked in Environmental Engineering (which I really liked), & have my Professional license in Civil Engineering. I had kids & "temporarily" took off work to be my kids' mom when they were born. They both turned out to be on the autism spectrum. I became educated in autism. I became educated in medical issues associated with autism. I became educated in special education law. I became educated in navigating the secret mazes of getting services for them. I became obsessed with getting them better. They required a large chunk of time & energy, & there was no practical way to return to work for a long time.
Unfortunately, I do not feel like I have the ability to return to my career now. I guess I gave it up, but I didn't mean to. In the meantime, I started some pretty successful online support/discussion groups to help families w/ disabilities. I've "run" them for about 7 yrs. now. I recently started up really successful facebook pages for them. In reality, all of that has been an 80+ hr / week volunteer job.
In July, I started a 1 day per week job (from home - yipee!) in a related field (helping families of children w/ special health care needs). Next week, that increases to 3 days/week (thank God). I enjoy the work, but it isn't exactly engineering wages.
That's WAY more than you ever wanted to know about me, I'm sure. Sorry for being so long-winded.
eta I've been trying to get dh to have the big V for several years. Monkey toddler was planned, and as others wrote, good thing he wasn't the first child or he might be an only.

Oh my... I made so many cups of Keurig coffee today..yum.. you need to tell dh about them
eta I've been trying to get dh to have the big V for several years. Monkey toddler was planned, and as others wrote, good thing he wasn't the first child or he might be an only.
We had just the 3 kids for many years.. I tossed around the idea of having another off and on for 5 years or so.. Wanted a baby but didn't want to get pregnant cause I needed to lose serious weight.. Lost weight in 2003, and wasn't sure I wanted to have another one cause I didn't want to regain some of the 150 pounds I lost.. Mentioned to my DH about getting the "V" and no way was he going for it
I had my last DD in 2008 and her pregnancy was so rough, I didn't think I could do another.. when they had to do an emergency csection, I opted to have my tubes tied.. Have had no problems physically with the tubal.. But, I have had regrets about it so many times since then. At the time, I was all for it.. Didn't think I wanted anymore, thought I was too old, etc.. But, I know Thrift and I are about the same age, and when she mentioned she was pregnant again, I realized I was still young enough, and could have had more
So, yeah, I guess you guys think I am the weirdo.. I have 4 kids, and would have more if I could
I want my coffee.. and I want it now
Okay, rant over.. I just figured since it is Thursday worship day
Saw a Keurig on the kroger clearance rack today.. Just the basic one, and I had the lady scan it.. for some reason I just thought I was going to get it for like 60.00 and it was going to be a gift for my FIL.. anyway, the thing was 119.99

Otherwise, it was fairly uneventful. Toys were 75% off, but someone went through and cleared 'em out big time. They did have lots of the tangled castle thingys, but I didn't get one. They looked kind of cheap and I'm pretty sure DH would be a bit annoyed if I tried to bring that big clunky thing into our little place!
*sigh* I stepped away for a while and forget what else I was going to say.
I have a degree in finance but my career was in software development. I worked most of it as a consultant. Stopped about 12 years ago to be a SHAM. If I ever wanted to get back into it, I would have to go back to school to learn all the new-fandangled tech stuff.
My oldest is a high school soph, so I'll need to be doing something in the next couple years to help college costs. But, my youngest is only in 2nd grade, and I still loving being around for her and helping in her class and picking her up from school....so I need that PT job that has flexible hours and pays BIG $$$$$$ - don't we all?!
How is the renting going? I have always thought of doing that, but been scared by all the horror stories.
Okay - I have half a degree. I had always wanted to be a certified financial analyst - but I don't like corp finances. I like working with individuals/families. I do sort of miss that kind of stuff, but not enough to want to go get a job!
So... I am a SAHM/W and homeschool our kiddoes.
Oh, I got a jar of the planters sunflower seeds. I didn't realize they were dry roasted. I DON'T like them.
No little packs of nuts at my store either - so that stinks.
Has anyone heard from Nikayla lately?
Just excited that they will be here in the next couple of years.. I know they will start back east first.. they always do.
Nikayla is around, I think she's in lurking mode.
I am curious... IRL what does everyone do? What do you have a degree in? Just a conversation starter I guess as that is something I have been thinking ALOT about lately.. is in the end what do I wanna get done...
This was how they explained it to her:
It is a large area about the size of a fist. It appears to have qualities of malignant cancer, and given the fact that she was just pregnant and the estrogen hormone is so heavy they are afraid of breast cancer that has metastised into her hip. BUT, he said that even though it looks like a malignancy, they really don't know WHAT it is. It could be benign. So at this point, she is doing what I had to do last year... wait. She is tired, scared, stressed and worried. She looks at Ellie and I see the love and fear in her eyes. I'm holding on to all hope that this will turn out o.k. We were fortunate that they are moving so fast. The doctor said by the way it looks, there no time to wait.
I'm keeping Ellie here tonight so Jason and Ema can get some rest...so I'm up again tonight
SO MANY
I have a Masters degree in whippin'theshitouttatarget.
GATOR - forgot to mention.. GOOD LUCK on taking your Bar exam..
Thought i'd have to talk to myself there for a bit...
I am wired and can't sleep.
So I just made myself a cup of warmed up coffee.
Gee... wonder why I can't sleep.

and know that we are all praying for you and rooting for your daughter.

girl,
what you need is some DH.
or a warm bath.
or a cup of warm decaf chamomile tea.
or a cup of warm milk (if you like milk).
but no caffeine or sugar.
