Why I can't sleep

There needs to be some sort of  switch for my brain!  I need to be able to turn it off for bed time!

Things that are currently not allowing me to sleep:
  • Looking for a home
    • Build or buy "Used"
    • Can't find any home in the area we want with the 3 criteria
    • Who do we need to talk to to build
      • Church
      • Lumber Stores
      • Family
    • How much can we spend
    • How long will it take us to save the Down Payment
  • Baby
    • What are the next steps
    • What is plan A, B, and C
    • How much do they cost
    • How long will it take
    • What is the opportunity cost (There's my Econ degree)
  • People who don't like me or are mad at me
    • You don't even know me
    • I would never purposely or knowingly do something to hurt you
    • I may seem mean at 1st, but give me a day and you'll see it's because I'm a little shy
    • I hate confrontation, but I would rather talk it out than not talk at all
  • School
    • Should I go back
    • What does Josh need to do to go back
    • How much will that cost
    • Opportunity cost
  • Budget
    • What are our new goals after paying the loan
    • How is Mallarie's going
  • Vacation
    • Can we go with Jessica and Dave
    • Do I save more so that I have more next year

When did I become such a Type A personality (The test I just took said I'm in the middle)??  Seriously, do I have to have a plan at all times to be happy?  Am I really the type who is this discombobulated without a plan?  I understand we're in the beginning stages of starting a newish chapter...or maybe a few new chapters, but I'm not a big fan of feeling this out of place!

Catch up...

So...Josh was gone for 8 days visiting family out in Wyoming.  I had to stay back to work, so I missed out on playing with the family.  On the bright side, Josh gets to see his sister twice this year!  Anyway, he's back and I'm so happy about that!  Although, I'm trying to figure out how to sleep with his whistling again =).

On the baby making front...we did go back to the doctor today.  Good news...Josh is fine!  All his tests came back great!  Even the one that caused us to do these additional tests!  Apparently it's all about timing!  But...trying to time him with me is going to be tough!  As my mom said, "It makes you wonder how accidents happen."  As I say...the Lord is definitely teaching me patience!

The next step is the fertility doctor.  This will help us figure out how aggressive to be.  Hopefully we'll be able to get some answers on what we should do.  I need to know the odds for all of the options.  If we go the least aggressive route, how long will that take and will it actually work, or is there a 5% chance it will??  If we go the medium route, how much more of a chance is there that will work better than the 1st.  Hopefully we'll know something a little more by next week!

Right now...definitely enjoying spending time with hubby!!  He's busy watching Dazed and Confused right now.  Of course this is a movie that he'd love! =)
