Lea's Diary EntriesDiary Navigation: |
July 27, 1999
I just re-read my previous diary entry and I want to
correct one of the things I said. Where I said that I
think that DH's family doesn't really care if we have
kids or not and that I think DH feels the same, I
didn't mean that DH doesn't care about us having kids
(which is how it sounds). I actually meant that I think
he also thinks that his family doesn't care. DH does
really want kids, which is great.
I have been feeling pretty ordinary the last couple of days. I have been permanently tired for the last few weeks and my body aches in different places. I think I am still a little down from the m/c and that it is taking me a while to get back to normal. I hope this doesn't last. I think I need to slow down a bit. I seem to be out about three or four nights a week so I think that will have to stop. I play basketball and volleyball during the week and I have told my volleyball team (which is mixed) that they have to find another girl, as I am the only one and they can't play without a girl on the court. I don't really enjoy playing volleyball anymore but I think it makes it worse that I feel like I am under this huge obligation to play. So I will only play as a fill-in now. I love basketball and I would never give that up (unless I was PG of course!).
I found out that the lady who is moving back into our street is moving back in this Friday (the 30th), so I am feeling a bit funny about it. I am trying to be cool with it. I think I really need to see her and get it over and done with. I think it will be OK then. I am feeling strange because I am friends with my next door neighbour and she speaks to this lady all the time and I feel like I am going to end up as the third wheel. I don't want that to happen, but then again, I don't want to have nothing better to do than worry about what everyone else is doing. I worry about being shafted because I find that DH and I are always the ones that are willing to lend a hand to people and then we are the ones that get no recognition for it.
I also heard that this lady said to my next door neighbour that she was contemplating asking the guy we have boarding with us if he wanted to board with her. He also said to my DH that he was thinking of asking her the same thing. I know I can't stop it if it happens but I hope it doesn't. No offense to the guy, but I don't think I really want him living on our street permanently. That is getting a little bit too cozy for me. It is bad enough now. I think they have put off the idea at the moment.
Well, I really have to go and do some work so I will probably write later in the week.
Positive vibes to you all.
Lea
