Laboring as an introvert is a bit different. My epidural is amazing, and my MIL and DH are passed out. Am I mad? No! Quite relieved! The room is nice and quiet. And when the baby cluster feeds, my husband will be well-rested and I’ll get to sleep. It’s only weird if you make it weird…

It’s been a little over a year since I signed in here. We sold our town house, paid off $250k ish of debt, bought a manufactured home at Upset Sale to flip, started remodeling a slow, live-in flip of another manufactured home and found community, and right now I’m in labor with our second baby. Wow!

Currently in labor with a VERY GOOD epidural. WOW! This is so much better than my last labor with a failed one. We are not all having the same birth experiences. That’s for sure.

Made our 2025 budget template today. Ouch. It hurts, but I know it’s the first step towards getting back on track. It was good to get a grasp on things and to find out that no, we really can’t realistically frugal down further. We can only increase income and invest.

Life is going to give you lemons. How many you get or how moldy they are is not in your control. And comparing your lemons to your neighbor’s lemons is useless. The only thing that matters is how equipped you are to deal with the lemons you’ve got and whether you even try.
