Am I the only person who can't stomach lurking on BMBs? I've tried a few times and it just makes me feel even worse about not being pregnant yet.
Nope, not alone. Never occurred to me to go lurk, until I read these ladies' FFCs. I have no inclination to go lurk BMBS because it sounds like a great way to make myself cry.
My Friday has completely sucks and my productivity completely flew out the window around 10 this morning. What do I do to make myself feel better? Get the most unhealthy lunch ever from Five Guys. Do I care what anyone thinks? Nope, bc my lunch was amazing and I have one hour to go till I can go home. That and DH are going on a shopping spree at Total Wine after work.
I am trying to plan and be pumped for the school year but honestly: all I think about is getting KTFU.
I am a teacher of a split grade class, meaning I have the same kids last year again this year. And let me tell you: I am NOT excited to deal with about 4 of them again and a couple that are coming in for the first time.
I know as teachers we're supposed to love them all, but confession: some make it VERY hard. I am feeling kind of all over the place about school starting Tuesday; anxious, blah, not excited, dreadful.
I always try to remember those sayings "those who need the most love ask for it in the most unloving ways" and "children who come from healthy, loving homes come to school to learn, children who come from broken homes come to school to be loved." But alas, still not feeling it yet.
I POAS just now. I know AF is coming but I still stared at that damn stick, nearly faking myself out that there was a line. There was not. But.... No line? Equals wine.

I told DH I have to work late tonight on a project at my new job but I don't. I'm actually going to get a deluxe spa pedicure complete with a glass of champagne at this really nice nail salon near my work. It's been A LONG WEEK and I need it. DH doesn't understand why I pay to have someone paint my toes when I have over 100 bottles of nail polish at home...clearly he does not understand the amazingness that is a spa pedicure. What he doesn't know won't hurt him right!?
If I knew how to post gifs, I would post the "Treat Your Self!" Parks and Rec episode. SO apropos.
I have to spend the weekend with my Sister-in-law and her 4 kids and her 1 grandbaby, all staying at my house. My house has no spare bedrooms and they will all be sleeping in the finished basement family room. It is not a big house AT ALL. I may secretly spike my coffee and just keep a good buzz on all weekend.
I have been using a regular thermometer to track my temps. I am only 1 full cycle of temping in, but there was a clear shift. If I keep seeing clear temp shifts I figure why get a BBT.
Just an FYI: The indisputable TCOYF says a digital thermometer that goes to a tenth of a degree is fine. In fact, it even advises AGAINST thermometers that go to the 1/100th of a degree because they can be confusing.
I said before how my DH sucks at planning and puts things off. We are moving next weekend and are renting boxes (nice hard plastic ones) and they are getting delivered tomorrow morning (read we have one week to pack the whole apartment and cannot take time off work EDIT the boxes are rented by the week and it was his pushing that we only need them one week before). DH's drivers licences expires on his birthday on Monday, something he has realized for three months. He tried to do it today but not shocking didn't look up what he needed and didn't have all the documents. Now he says oh I'm going to go tomorrow. NOOO!!!! Two friends are coming at 10 am to help and when I had to get mine and plates it took FIVE HOURS!!! (MD DMV sucks ass). He said oh I'll go to this other one that is 40m away and opens at 8 but I will be back by 9...... I am fuming right now and I don't know if I really O'ed so we should HIO to be safe but doubt that's going to happen.
OK I just looked at the May bmb (first time looking at a bmb) and seeing some of the names from this board made me a tiny jealous. I was reading the early symptoms ( But whenever I lurk the TWW thread I think "She's 12 dpo? She should take a test! I hope it's a BFP! Come on PLEASE let it be positive!!!" like I'm over here rooting for you all LOL!
@Jhems776 If it helps we rented those boxes for our last move and they made things SO much easier! You can pack stuff in with less wrapping and pack em heavy without the bottoms breaking. You just use dollies to move them. We were packed in a week (and I am a hoarder with a lot of stuff). Pro tip- different colored duct tape for each room. Slap it on the side of the box and it makes unpacking a breeze!

I live in MD as well. Can he go to the express MVA? I've gone there a few times and it is always quick and easy. Also being the first one in line doesn't hurt either!

Can I bitch for a second... So I mentioned before how I am planning a surprise party for dh. Well my annoying mil is now trying to direct what we are doing. She's now happy with the standard open bar... Nooooo she's wants a "premium" open bar. I'm not trying to be a brat but this is my idea. It's my husband. And I just know she is going to try to take all the credit!! Urggggggg!!!! She is overbearing and a bit pretentious. Drives me flipping bonkers.
I'm supposed to be at an Alumnae Bunco Night, like right now. I didn't show up because I didn't want to sit in traffic to get there and I didn't want to make food to bring.
I need to add another FFC ...my mom just called me to tell me that my step-sister just announced she was pregnant to her dad and my mom...she's due the same day I would have been if I hadn't MC'd.....I feel really bad that my first reaction was super pissed/angry/jealou/sad... I guess they have been trying for over a year which is great they finally got their BFP and I'm happy for them on that part...but it just stings with the timing.
DH called me a terrible person for thinking like that...and now I feel like one
@rrauws you are not a terrible person for feeling your feelings. Feel them, it helps. After you give yourself permission to feel bad about it you will be able to be happy for your stepsister.

Everything looks good on me so far. Going in for U/S in Oct just to be absolutely sure everything is good. SA for DH pending.
Thanks @coachbeckycooper & @Litterateur ... it's going to be rough tomorrow because she's coming to the family BBQ and most likely will announce it ...
@rrauws Wow. There is nothing that honks me off more than someone telling me I'm wrong for feeling how I feel. You are absolutely due to feel how you feel. It's not like you're going to charge over and slap her, you'll just be a little sad and upset. IT'S NORMAL.

uggh where's the wine!?
Flame away!
My DH does the same thing, but really... Do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better. Holding it in and letting it all build up will just be worse in the long run.
And I'll be honest, every single time I see a Facebook post of 'OMG, I'm pregnant!' I throw a little pity party for myself. Someone I went to HS with, their wife just had a baby today... Pictures everywhere. I've been avoiding Facebook all day. I'm drinking my tasty pumpkin beer in peace now.
