R/R: last night we pretty bad. Bella(my dog) kept snapping at Dollie & Dollie (my parents dog) isn't having it and they're going at each other. They normally get along. Then my brother & his wife brought over their little dog and Bella went ape shit. Squealing and barking and going after her. I've never heard her like that. So we had to keep her locked up. Every time we'd try to bring her out, she'd be ok until she saw their little dog. I know it sounds insignificant but she's my baby.

@RedBreast35 Great GTKY, I could definitely use a laugh today.
@Starla Ouch, that sounds like no fun at all! Hope you can figure out what it is and get it taken care of soon!
@Dilynne That's a decent snow storm. I hope you were out in it last night and instead got to stay bundled up in your warm house! It was raining here all last night and now it's back below freezing so everything is just coated in ice.
@purplg8r That's sucks your dog wasn't getting along with the others at Christmas. I can't even bring my dog because my SIL doesn't like dogs around her kids (the little ones are scared of dogs)

*lurking from 2ww* @ChefRamsay So many *hugs* girl, I know the pain of reaching your due date all too well. Be kind to yourself! Enjoy the movie, hope you're seeing a comedy!
@Starla Oh no!! I hope it gets cleared up fast! @Dilynne That's a lot of snow! Hope you are staying warm and safe! @purplg8r I'm sorry your pups aren't getting along.

What are you going to see? @Hopefulmommy1980 I'm in the same food/working out boat. I'm not really into New Years Resolutions but DH and I are planning a revamping of our diet/exercise routine in January.
R/R: Yesterday was terrible. My siblings and I get together for Christmas since our family doesn't do anything. My brother cancelled on us and we had each other for gifts, and so I got to watch my sisters exchange their presents. My little sister hosts and she's so controlling. She assigned us seats this year, and told me she didn't want me sitting on her dining room chairs because they were new and she didn't want me to break them (because I'm obese.) That hurt pretty bad, and when I tried to leave my car wouldn't start which kind of took the wind out of my sails. My mother in law, that morning, bought me an ugly brown corduroy shirt, which if I'm being honest I'd rather she hadn't bought me anything at all. Meanwhile my husband and our room mate got comfy and cute looking pajama sets and my sister in law got a really neat yarn bowl. And to top all of it off, my husband got me nothing because he can't be bothered unless I beg him to. So. Almost the worst Christmas ever.
And I know, Christmas isn't about presents. And honestly, it's just the opening of presents that I like. As long as the gift inside shows me that the person was thinking of me, it could be my own shoe for all I care. This year, I feel like I kind of slipped through the cracks.
CS/Q: My temp spiked high two days ago, and yesterday went back down, and today is high again. Waiting for another temp to see a bigger picture.
GTKY: I'm such a simple person that I laugh over the dumbest things. For instance: Two potatoes were sitting in an oven. One potato turned the other and said "Man, it's hot in here!" and the other potato said "AHHHHH TALKING POTATO!!!!" I have laughed so hard at that joke, my dad thought I was nuts. And I heard it retold with cupcake and muffins and still lost it like I had heard the joke for the first time.

@TravelingCouple@spiderlover25 Thanks ladies. We're going to see Rouge One today. We're all big star wars fans so it should be fun. I'd also like to see Office Christmas Party but I'm not sure if the timing will work out for that one. There needs to be a kids movie showing at the same time that is approx the same length in order for us the go to the adult movie (that way DD can watch something appropriate for her).
@Mythril Wow, your sister sounds like a real b*tch! I can't believe she said that to you, how thoughtless. My H is that same with gift giving too. He told me I should take his present back because otherwise I'll just be upset that he didn't get me anything. If you're worried I'll be upset about not getting a gift why wouldn't you get get me a gift? SMH
@sheknows6 Good luck cutting out alcohol in 2017! I was thinking about trying to abstain from alcohol for the new year too. I'm sure I don't have enough self control for that though.

@Dilynne Yikes - that's a crazy storm. I remember ones like those from when I lived in rural ON, but now that I'm on the coast, we don't get much snow at all

@ChefRamsay creepy stranger hugs, I've heard the movie is pretty good. May the force be with you!
@Mythril sorry Christmas sucked one of my favorite high school teachers used that joke all the time but in the muffin form. He would laugh so hard telling it every time that he almost wouldn't get the joke out. He has since passed so thank you for the wonderful memory this morning!

Ugh, @ChefRamsay I'm so sorry that your EDD is here. Huge hugs I hope the movie is a great distraction! @Mythril that Christmas sounds awful It's hard to believe family can be so insensitive, and I'm so sorry they ruined what should have been a nice day.

R/R: The last few days have been a real mindf*ck.

Plus H being at work on Christmas. Just let this week/month/year be over already.

And when I respond yes he says he's nervous. He had had several beers so I chalked it up to that and figured we'd talk about it today. Today I asked him about it and he explained he is nervous because it's such a huge responsibility but that he is ready. I was starting to worry this would result in him not being able to dtd, if you know what I mean. Buuut not 10 minutes later he said he was ready to go, right then. And it went successfully.

R/R: DH was a special kind of stupid yesterday. Just us for Xmas morning. We had exchanged gifts last weekend because his sister was visiting. As I was making coffee and cleaning up a bit, he made a full breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast) for himself. Told him afterwards that it would have been nice to have asked me, especially with it being Christmas day. He apologized. Fast forward to Xmas dinner- his parents and his single guy friend come over. He spent the entire evening either in the garage or by the fire pit. I also overheard him organizing a fishing trip with his buddy for today (without actually mentioning it to me). After everyone left I got real mad at him and told him he can (and does) do that every night and it was freaking Christmas and that he needed to also think about his mom and I. And this is our first time hosting his parents here, so now he's set a precedent of what holidays look like here. And that when we have kids what kind of an example is he going to set if he always escape to the garage. I was so pissed. He cancelled his fishing trip and it's been pretty quiet between us today.

The movie was great! And we stopped at the store and my H bought me a new stand mixer. I've wanted one for a long time now but I didn't feel comfortable spending that much on something I don't really need. He saw it was on sale and decided to buy it for me. It would have been nice for him to wrap it and surprise me, but I appreciate that he picked something for me that he knew I would love. We don't celebrate Christmas so it's my New Year's present and my H told me I can't open it until next weekend. I already have a list of things I'll want to make next weekend. Homemade marshmallows will probably be the first thing!

And I know, Christmas isn't about presents. And honestly, it's just the opening of presents that I like. As long as the gift inside shows me that the person was thinking of me, it could be my own shoe for all I care. This year, I feel like I kind of slipped through the cracks.
CS/Q: My temp spiked high two days ago, and yesterday went back down, and today is high again. Waiting for another temp to see a bigger picture.
GTKY: I'm such a simple person that I laugh over the dumbest things. For instance: Two potatoes were sitting in an oven. One potato turned the other and said "Man, it's hot in here!" and the other potato said "AHHHHH TALKING POTATO!!!!" I have laughed so hard at that joke, my dad thought I was nuts. And I heard it retold with cupcake and muffins and still lost it like I had heard the joke for the first time.

@Mythril Wow, your sister sounds like a real b*tch! I can't believe she said that to you, how thoughtless. My H is that same with gift giving too. He told me I should take his present back because otherwise I'll just be upset that he didn't get me anything. If you're worried I'll be upset about not getting a gift why wouldn't you get get me a gift? SMH
@sheknows6 Good luck cutting out alcohol in 2017! I was thinking about trying to abstain from alcohol for the new year too. I'm sure I don't have enough self control for that though.

I'm in my FW and don't know how I'm going to see the temp shift, so may have to go from just OPKs and CM this month. On the plus side, DH is being a champ about still HIO even though I'm sniffling all the way through it haha

R/R: The last few days have been a real mindf*ck. I had about 36 hours of pretty severe cramps before AF actually started and I was really starting to freak out that something was wrong since that never happens. Plus, I was starting Letrozole for the first time, and panicked that something being off was going to screw that up. And my RE's was closed for four days because Christmas. Plus H being at work on Christmas. Just let this week/month/year be over already.

And when I respond yes he says he's nervous. He had had several beers so I chalked it up to that and figured we'd talk about it today. Today I asked him about it and he explained he is nervous because it's such a huge responsibility but that he is ready. I was starting to worry this would result in him not being able to dtd, if you know what I mean. Buuut not 10 minutes later he said he was ready to go, right then. And it went successfully. We'll see how the rest of this week goes!

R/R: DH was a special kind of stupid yesterday. Just us for Xmas morning. We had exchanged gifts last weekend because his sister was visiting. As I was making coffee and cleaning up a bit, he made a full breakfast (eggs, bacon, toast) for himself. Told him afterwards that it would have been nice to have asked me, especially with it being Christmas day. He apologized. Fast forward to Xmas dinner- his parents and his single guy friend come over. He spent the entire evening either in the garage or by the fire pit. I also overheard him organizing a fishing trip with his buddy for today (without actually mentioning it to me). After everyone left I got real mad at him and told him he can (and does) do that every night and it was freaking Christmas and that he needed to also think about his mom and I. And this is our first time hosting his parents here, so now he's set a precedent of what holidays look like here. And that when we have kids what kind of an example is he going to set if he always escape to the garage. I was so pissed. He cancelled his fishing trip and it's been pretty quiet between us today.

The movie was great! And we stopped at the store and my H bought me a new stand mixer. I've wanted one for a long time now but I didn't feel comfortable spending that much on something I don't really need. He saw it was on sale and decided to buy it for me. It would have been nice for him to wrap it and surprise me, but I appreciate that he picked something for me that he knew I would love. We don't celebrate Christmas so it's my New Year's present and my H told me I can't open it until next weekend. I already have a list of things I'll want to make next weekend. Homemade marshmallows will probably be the first thing!
