I think for me it has been getting more help in the form of childcare and housecleaning so that I have time to develop my business without worrying about devoting every second to my kids or fretting about the cleanliness of the apartment. We could do without these things but my stress level would be through the roof. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1805030 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 01:21:42 +0000 sandy 1805030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love hearing all these decisions/updates</p> <p>@littlek: that's so great!</p> <p>@Leialou: you are going to be the best mama :heart:</p> <p>@sunny: :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1805015 Fri, 08 Aug 2014 00:48:40 +0000 sunny 1805015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: :heart: </p> <p>I can't really think of anything for myself!

I'm glad that I used the logical/rational side of my brain, and not the emotional/impulsive side- and took the time to investigate the situation. I feel mounds of relief after investigating a bit, and am glad I didn't pull her from the provider she adores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801943 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 18:33:43 +0000 Purpledaisy 1801943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not super recent, but DH and I both went back to school this year.

She's been with us all summer and starting her today was perfect since most of the kids are still at home and she can take her time readjusting. The only kids there were all close in age, so that made it especially perfect.</p> <p>The best part - she napped! Woohoo!!! It's seriously one of my better decisions. I've been proud of myself all day. Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801691 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 16:10:26 +0000 MsLipGloss 1801691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: @mrs. wagon: the mo vodka, the mo betta! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801689 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 16:09:43 +0000 daniellemybelle 1801689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is not a recent decision, but I am really proud of DH &amp; I for making a plan and executing on it over the last year. </p> <p>When I got pregnant somewhat unexpectedly (yes, I know how babies are made, and I know we are so lucky, but we were still caught off guard) we decided to move in with my parents so I could quit a job that made me very unhappy and we could still continue to pay off debt &amp; save for a home.</p> <p>I know a lot of people raised their eyebrows at our choice, and I admit I felt self-conscious. But it's been an amazing experience. LO is so close to her grandparents &amp; I have been able to stay home with her for the most part, which was always my dream.</p> <p>Almost exactly a year later, we have bought a home and are MOVING OUT! Just like we planned. Go us :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801488 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:34:04 +0000 heartonastring 1801488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: &lt;-- Basically all of wss :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801487 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:33:58 +0000 Boheme 1801487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Huge hugs :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801486 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:33:41 +0000 septca 1801486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801482 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:33:15 +0000 swedishfish 1801482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: :heart: huge hugs :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801480 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:32:25 +0000 MamaMoose 1801480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801466 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:28:55 +0000 LovelyPlum 1801466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801464 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:28:33 +0000 autumnlove 1801464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Hugs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-a-choicedecision-youve-made-recently-that-you-are-proud-of/page/2#post-1801447 Wed, 06 Aug 2014 14:23:49 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1801447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We decided to stop TTC a biological child.

That is not enough time to finish, but it is enough to.finish my exams and get some serious research done. It is scary, but I'm feeling much better about it!</p> <p>I also recommitted to BFing , despite LO's MSPI. I also took some initiative to seek out treatment for what I (correctly) guessed was reflux.

Seriously. I have dropped out of 3 different course programs. All 3 completely unrelated. I'm sure the only reason I finished high school was because it was not an option to fail in my parents eyes. I wish I had the motivation/drive/smarts/whatever to actually figure out what I want to do and DO IT. My education has been a complete failure, so, living vicariously through you, I am proud of you for sticking with it! </p>
