WAYDTGKU: OPKs, tracking CM

R/R: We told a client we would try to have something to them by their board meeting which is tomorrow. The partner in charge of the client doesn’t seem to have any urgency so I’m not sure why I care but I don’t think it’s going to happen. Hopefully it’s not a huge deal, but I think we are calling him today so at least I’ll know one way or another if they are going to be mad. Also, I’m so disappointed in last night’s bachelor episode. It was so awkward and uncomfortable and not interesting. I was looking forward to it so much!

CS/Q:

gingermama29

@bows22 that's frustrating, both for your and the client. Hopefully they won't be too upset about it.

Month/Cycle: 8/5

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP

R/R: the weekend weather forecast is looking pretty bad with over a foot of snow predicted. I'm worried our music festival will be cancelled at school. Crossing my fingers it's not too bad.
Also our new music teacher hires got board approved last night and I'm really excited about who we hired! It's going to be so strange being the most senior and the oldest person in my department though!

CS/Q:  

feather_heather

@bows22 - I've given up on the Bachelor! I listen to a podcast that recaps it for me and that's about it. I haven't watched it in weeks - I just end up deleting the recording. Have you started Love is Blind on Netflix? It's good!

@gingermama29 - Oh no!! I hope the weather doesn't cause too many issues! Yay for finally getting that position filled!

Month/Cycle: 19

WAYDTGKU: IVF - Waiting for Biopsy Results

R/R: I cannot believe tomorrow is ash wednesday already! DH and I are giving up TV after work for lent (only exception being if we're on the elliptical), so tonight I plan on getting home and planting my butt on the couch to binge Love is Blind some more! We plan on reading more at night, playing card games, chess, and getting into puzzles! If anyone has any other suggestions on what you do on week nights send them my way!

CS/Q: none

krystrist2014

@bows22 ugh, stuff like that always makes me anxious too. I can’t deal with people I work with not having any sense of urgency or responsibility to clients. 

@gingermama29 yay for quality new hires! I will cross my fingers for you that the weather isn’t bad enough to cancel the festival! Will they just reschedule if it is? Or will it be cancelled all together? 

Month/Cycle: 4/4

CD: 13

WAYDTGKU: Zinc, folate, pnv, bbt, OPK, tracking CM

R/R: Not too much going on.... made it through Monday so that’s good! I’m a bit annoyed that my boss hasn’t had much time to go over reports I created for him. It means that I have little to do until her gives me feedback and I just kind of have to find stuff to do which makes the day go by kind of slow. He a great boss so I know it’s just that he’s busy rather than doesn’t want to look at it. Hopefully he’ll have time today or tomorrow.

CS/Q: My temps are starting to look less erratic! So that’s a plus

WAYDTGKU: NTNP and just all around not knowing 

R/R: Monday is over... so that's an accomplishment, right?! @bluetickgal is it Friday yet?! 

DH went to the Sixer's basketball game last night with a client so I was home alone with the dogs. I had popcorn and wine for dinner. I'm not sorry and I'm not ashamed!

CS/Q: Nope

@krystrist2014 did your boss ask for them by a certain deadline so he could review them? Not that it really matters, I'm just curious, as that would frustrate me even more if you needed to get them to him by a certain date and then he was just sitting on them. I understand what it's like to be super busy at times though that you can't get to anything that you want to get to - my boss is like that sometimes too. 

@bows22 Is it your responsibility to make sure it happens for tomorrow or is it mostly your partner's responsibility? I hate when people tell you they need stuff but then they don't have a sense of urgency themselves. ugh!

@gingermama29 I hope your music festival doesn't get cancelled!! Would it be rescheduled if it was?

@feather_heather giving up TV?! You are a better person than I am!!! I would be on that elliptical so much more than I normally would just so I could watch my shows 

krystrist2014

@kpearse99 nope, no deadline on them which is probably why they are on his back burner. I agree it would be much much more annoying if that were the case lol. 

gingermama29

@feather_heather oh that would be such a hard thing to give up! Good luck!

@krystrist2014 and @kpearse99 yeah, unfortunately they won't reschedule the festival if it gets cancelled. There are 12 schools participating and it's just too hard to find different dates. We schedule the festivals a year in advance.

@krystrist2014 FX he looks them over today!

@kpearse99 that sounds like an awesome night!! 

feather_heather

@kpearse99 - Just giving it up M-F after work! On the weekends we can catch up on our shows (and if we're home sick then I'd also say it's allowed)! Yumm!! I've been craving popcorn recently! 

kpearse99

@feather_heather phew!!!! okay, that seems more reasonable!! haha

legallykate

@bows22 Agreed about the Bachelor, way to go producers in trying to manufacture drama in the most obvious way possible but still failing to create any excitement. Yawn. Sorry for the awkward situation with your boss and client, hopefully it won’t be a big deal or at least you won’t have to deal with any fall out.

@gingermama29 FX the weather turns out not being that bad.

@feather_heather Wow giving up TV would be so so hard for me! Playing games and interacting more sounds nice though.

@krystrist2014 “Made it through Monday” is my mood today too lol. Hope your boss gets back to you soon so you don’t have to twiddle your thumbs all day.

@kpearse99 That dinner sounds amazing For sure no shame!

Month/Cycle: 3/3

WAYDTGKU: Temping, monitoring CM, PNVs, preseed, going to try HIO EOD starting around CD12 this cycle

R/R: I've been WFH a lot lately since my active cases/projects are all with partners in other offices, but today I came in for face time, and I have been like ugh why am I here since I set foot inside. MH is making steak fajitas tonight in the Instant Pot so at least that's something to look forward to.

CS/Q: Not yet, I just started temping again today now that AF seems to be dwindling.

krystrist2014

@feather_heather damn, that’s a commitment! Ash Wednesday really snuck up on me this year too! Lol. 

@kpearse99 wine and popcorn are 100% acceptable for a dinner at home alone. Lol.
@gingermama29 that makes sense.... crossing all the things for you guys!! And thanks, boss came by my desk and was like “do you have anything for me?” (In a checking in kind of way not an annoying expectant kind of way) I smiled and was like nooooo you have my things.... and then reminded him what he owes me feed back on. Lol. So hopefully he’ll get to it! 

gingermama29

@legallykate oooh steak fajitas sound amazing. Do you have the recipe??

R/R: My boss is away off in a managers meeting today so yay. party 😆 AF is starting to dwindle down so yay that’s good, then I can move forward and get this show on the road lol 

CS/Q: Nope

@bows22 Hopefully the client won’t be mad. I didn’t watch the bachelors episode last night but I have it taped so I’ll be watching it as soon as I can. Well that sucks that it was awkward and not interesting. I really wish he would get rid of Victoria. I can’t stand her. 

@gingermama29 eww BOO to snow in the forecast. Hopefully your music festival doesn’t get cancelled. 

@feather_heather Morning #creepycupgirl 😆😂 your giving up TV? Damn girl. Your my idol. haha. I could not do it. Omg I LOVE the show” love is Blind” so good. I’ve binged it all and just waiting for the very last episode to come out lol. Do you think they will all make it? Oh, and I started watching this other show on Netflix called- Back with the EX. It’s kind of similar. Have you seen it?

@legallykate mmm steak fajitas sound good. Me and DH just bought an instant pot on the weekend and have been tying it out every night. We like it so far but just getting the hang of it still. Have any good recipes to try in it?

@kpearse99 mmm popcorn and wine sounds like a great dinner 😆 You go girl lol 

@krystrist2014 Hopefully your boss can find some time to go over those reports you created for him.

feather_heather

@mindyb2019 Morning!       Just giving up TV M-F (weekends are okay)! I'm 5 episodes in so far so it's hard to judge all of the couples! I did read that the show was filmed back in 2018!! I haven't seen that other show, but I'll look into it!

kpearse99

@legallykate I get to WFH once a week and I so wish I could do it more than that hahaha It's so wonderful!!

@mindyb2019 I love when my boss is out! haha I just feel like I can actually get more done when he's not here... and also that I can do more of whatever I want haha

mindyb2019

@feather_heather oh good, weekends lol. How long do you give up the tv for M-F? ya it is hard to juggle all the couples but you got sooo much more drama to come after episode 5 lol. It was filmed in 2018? Wow. I bet we could google who’s still together then, but I’ll wait to finish the show first. last episode coming Feb 27th. There is another show I noticed too that looked interesting that I wanted to maybe check out. It’s called Dating Around. 

_orchid_

@gingermama29 fingers crossed for not much snow and no cancellation! That sounds like a huge festival and so much fun! And yay for great new hires, especially in the arts! Music education is so important. 

@feather_heather wow impressed by your Lent resolution! I would probably be on the elliptical every night 😂 MH and I did a 1500 piece Disney puzzle over President's weekend and I was OBSESSED with getting it done. Maybe listen to some audiobooks while you do it? MH and I love listening to biographies/nonfiction together so we can talk about it, and you can get a ton of audiobooks from your local library for free.

@kpearse99 totally acceptable dinner! Also, I grew up in the Philly area and loved watching the Sixers growing up!

R/R: it smells like spring outside today! I know colder weather is coming this weekend but hearing the songbirds and smelling outside today made me feel so happy. I don't mind winter but I LOVE spring. We have a lot of bulbs in our yard that are starting to come up and I can't wait for all the flowers. 

CS/Q: missed getting my temperature this morning and feel like it's going to drive me crazy every time I look at my chart this month 

legallykate

@gingermama29 I will let you know if they are good, here is the recipe: https://www.eatthis.com/instant-pot-steak-fajitas/

@mindyb2019 MH does all the Instant Pot cooking (/almost all of the cooking period lol) so I don't know any recipes! He does a really good pork tenderloin dish where he sears it in there and then adds cream and dijon mustard and maybe some other things? Pinterest has a ton of yummy IP recipes though! 

feather_heather

@mindyb2019 - We're just doing it for lent, so it starts tomorrow and will end on Easter. So 46 days! Yeah, I was wondering why it took so long for it to air? I've looked on some of their Instagrams and none of them have photos together, but that could be because of contracts they had to sign. Ohh I'll have to add that to my list as well!

@_orchid_ - Ohhh I didn't know I could get audiobooks at the library! I'm trying to get better about going to the library for books - I read about 2 books per week, and I'm spending way too much $ on ibooks! That's a great suggestion thanks!

runningoncookies

@bows22 sorry about the client issue! Hopefully they a don’t get too upset and your partner can help get it figured out

@gingermama29 that’s too bad about the forecast! I remember reading somewhere that the temperature can be predicted up to 5 days in advance, but that precipitation isn’t accurate until more like 2 days out. Maybe it will change! That would be a shame to have to cancel everything.

@feather_heather good for you on giving up TV! That’s a tough one! I haven’t given something up for Lent in a long long time, maybe I’ll have to pick something this year haha

@kristrist2014 hopefully your boss has time to look over the reports and get back to you soon!

@legallykate fajitas sound delicious! Enjoy!

@kpearse99 that sounds like an absolutely amazing dinner

@mindyb2019 yay for the boss being out...have a fun day haha!

@_orchid_ I also love that feeling of impending spring! We have a lot of bulbs in our yard but they are in ridiculous places from the previous owners lol. We spent most of early spring last year digging them up from the actual center of the yard and putting them along the edges where they belong 😂 

Month/Cycle: 4/4

WAYDTGKU: temping, prenatals, tracking CM, BD at least EOD

R/R: This is a tough time of year to work in a school system...there are so many things going on that need to be done ASAP, and my coworkers and I are basically just trying to keep our heads above water! Today I’ve had like 3 people ask me how I’m doing with keeping up with everything and it’s like “I’m taking it one thing at a time and it doesn’t help when you keep reminding me how busy I am!” Haha, but I know that it’s all temporary, I’m trying my very best to stay relaxed...this time of the year I usually get at least one stress-induced delayed O/crazy long cycle. DH has been so good at making sure I’m not bringing my work stress home! 

CS/Q: 

linzrunz

@bows22 I haven't watched any of the bachelor this season and I'm kinda sad about it.  I see all these memes about it and I don't understand any of them lol

@gingermama29 Boo snow!  I hope the storm isn't too bad!

@feather_heather I've been looking for something new to watch, so maybe I'll check out Love is Blind!  H and I have designated "tea time" where we make tea or hot chocolate and catch up on all the latest tea that's going on with us.  Only rule is no electronics.  We put our phones on silent and set them to the side, leave the TV off, etc.  It's nice to have a set time where we can just sit and talk about whatever is on our minds.  Sometimes it only lasts a little while and we don't have much to talk about it, but usually we sit and talk for a while and have some really good conversations.

@krystrist2014 That's frustrating that your boss hasn't looked at it.  I had a boss that was always so busy with  meetings that I'd have to schedule a meeting with her just to ask her any questions (I was a new hire and basically trained myself).  Hopefully he gets some time today!  Also, yay for less erratic temps!

@kpearse99 Popcorn and wine for dinner sounds amazing!  You've gotta treat yourself every once in a while. 

@legallykate I hope your work day goes by fast so you can get home to those fajitas!  That sounds yummy!

@mindyb2019 Love when bosses are out!  Sometimes I'm more productive when the boss is gone because mine tend to interrupted me a lot.  Enjoy the day!

@_orchid_ I'm typing this as I'm listening to the birds outside!  So far we've had an early spring and I'm hoping it continues.  Hope the cold weather isn't too bad and doesn't last too long.  Spring is almost here for real!

Month/Cycle: 2/2 after 3 years during round 1

WAYDTGKU: sexy time

R/R: I've been a bad bumpie the past couple weeks.  H and I had a pretty serious talk about putting a time limit on TTC this time.  Long story short, because of issues I'm still having with my cycle, we're giving it until the end of the year.  If we don't conceive by then, I'll be scheduling a hysterectomy.  Part of me is relieved to have a countdown, but I know as I get closer to the end of the year I'll be more nervous.  

I also tweaked my back the other day and have been having a lot of sciatica pain which sucks.  Hoping that starts to go away soon because it's getting in the way of sexy time.  I'm pretty sure I O'ed in the past couple days, but giving it a couple more days to check CM before moving over to TWW.

CS/Q: nope

R/R: I’m late to the party again today and this place is hoppin’!! Another busy morning at work...but once again, the day is flying by so I’ll take it! We have some nice weather today, so DH and I are going to try and get a big walk in tonight! Then Winter returns in full force for the rest of the week! 🙄 Come on Spring, please get here soon!!

CS/Q: None.

@bows22 that stinks that you all weren’t able to get the stuff to them in time, but hopefully they will be understanding! 

@gingermama29 hopefully the snow won’t end up being as bad as expected...really hope the music festival doesn’t get cancelled! That’s good you are happy with the new hires and that it’s official now!

@feather_heather that’s a very cool, but I’m sure very difficult thing to give up! I think all those activities sound great...and allow for you to spend more quality time together! 

@krystrist2014 that’s frustrating you are having to wait on your boss to review things! I have to deal with that some too, but usually have some other stuff to work on. Hopefully he gets it reviewed today so you can move on to the next step! 

@kpearse99 unfortunately no...I so wish it was Friday already!! I’d say you really do with your trip planned!! We are making progress though, almost to Wednesday and then it’s all downhill from there! I think that sounds like a perfect evening! 

@legallykate sorry you had to go into the office today...your dinner sounds yummy though!! Hope that gets you through the day! 

@mindyb2019 isn’t it nice when the boss is away? Things are just more relaxed! Glad AF is packing her bags, nobody wants her to stay for long! 

@_orchid_ I’m so ready for Spring! That’s exciting you have bulbs coming up already, that means Spring really is close!! 

@runningoncookies sorry work is so crazy right now...that’s great YH is helping to make sure you don’t bring the stress home though! 

@linzrunz life happens, we understand! That’s good you and YH had that talk...I really hope you don’t get to your deadline though! Sometimes it’s nice having a plan/timeline in place (even if things are somewhat out of your control). Everything crossed that this is your year!! 💜 Hopefully your sciatica pain goes away soon! 

bows22

@gingermama29 I’m excited for you that you are going to be the most senior person in your department! Glad you are a fan of the new hires too!

@feather_heather no I haven’t watched love is blind - I’ll have to look into it. I always say that when people recommend shows and then never do so I just started a list in my phone and it is at the top! And wow that is a great Lenten sacrifice! Maybe another activity could be reading a couples devotional together?

@krystrist2014 I hope your boss gets to the reports soon! Does he know it’s holding you up/making you not have much to do? That would annoy me to no end. 

@kpearse99 that’s an interesting question haha. To keep it short, I would say it’s both of our responsibility but he is the hold up - keeps saying he will look at things and never makes the time. So he’s going to have to be one to break the news that they aren’t getting it tomorrow. We didn’t really promise to have it to them, but we don’t really have a good reason as to why we won’t, so it will be interesting. And oh my, a popcorn and wine dinner sounds delightful! It’s so nice to do random stuff like that once in awhile. 

@legallykate I totally agree! I also like Peter less and less every week. I think they need to bump the age of the bachelor up just a few years. I hope your day in the office is productive! I’m at clients a lot and when I do go in the office I’m always happy for an hour or two while I get myself organized and then I’m like okay time to go haha

all the further I got - will be back! Hope you are having a great day ladies!

kpearse99

@_orchid_ That's how it was here yesterday!! The air was wonderful and the birds were chirping! I so want Spring to be here full time!

@runningoncookies You got this girl!! You're a rockstar! I love that YH is super supportive of you and ready to help calm you down at home!

@linzrunz I've been wondering where you were! Glad you're doing alright Is YH getting "snipped" not an option? It's way less invasive than you having major surgery!

@bluetickgal I'll take busy days at work any day over a slow day! It really does make the time fly by and then before you know it you're out the door and on your way home!! Enjoy the long walk tonight

krystrist2014

@legallykate the promises of steak fajitas would definitely help me get through a day at the office too! yummm
@mindyb2019 glad AF is in her way out for you! 

@_orchid_ I feel you! I missed two temps so far this month and those damn dotted lines annoy me every morning when I look to enter a new temp. 

@runningoncookies yay for a husband who keeps you grounded and helps limit your stress at home! Mine is really good at helping me with that too and it’s literally one of the reasons I married him. ❤️

@linzrunz we are happy to have you back! Sounds like you guys are doing a good job of communicating. Crossing my fingers for you that you don’t even get close to your deadline! 

@bluetickgal It’s always nice when the work day goes by quickly. 

mindyb2019

@legallykate DH does all the instant pot cooking too. Well, majority of all the cooking period as well haha. I’ll look some receipts up online.

@bluetickgal things are great when the boss is away. So much more relaxed. I enjoy it. I’m glad AF is packing her bags too. Get out 😆 I love when the day is busy at work. The days just fly by which is awesome. I hope you enjoy the nice weather today and your walk tonight. I can’t wait for Spring to get here too. 

@linzrunz So sorry you tweaked your back and are in pain. I hate when that happens. I hope it starts to feel better for you soon. It’s the worst when things get in the way of sexy times. Well FX you get KU before your countdown is up. Sending you positive vibes ❤️ Least you and YH were able to sit and talk and discuss it. 

@runningoncookies Aww. That’s sweet that YH is making sure you don’t bring work stress home. So sorry that it’s been crazy at work lately. Hang in there! Stress is definitely not good when your TTC. 

linzrunz

@kpearse99 I had excision surgery for endometriosis last year and my doc was pretty sure I also have adenomyosis. It’s where the uterine lining grows inside the walls of the uterus and the only cure for it is a hysterectomy. The only reason I haven’t had it done yet is because I want another baby. I still have a lot of pain and issues with my period. 

Also I just got my 4th anniversary badge on here which means H and I originally started TTC 4 1/2 years ago. Ugh.

R/R: it started out gross today, but the sun is peeking out.  We had a bunch of kids at the zoo today, so nice to be busy and have nice weather.  Everyone just enjoys it better.  March schedule came out and dang...it is hopping!  I was hoping for more hours and now I am scheduled for almost every week day and some weekends.  

@feather_heather. Good for you on the no TV during the week.  That is a hard one to do.  Still haven't quite figured out my plan, but I am thinking no impulse buys at the grocery store (candy and soda aisle- I am looking at you) and picking up a journaling routine.  What books are you into right now?  I read a similar amount and am always looking for something good.  

@linzrunz. I have been missing you and wondering where you were hiding.  I am glad that you guys talked and came up with some expectations and deadlines.  However I hope that you end up missing those deadlines for the best reasons.  I love your tea time.  That is a great way to connect with DH. 

@runningoncookies. You totally got this!  Yay for DHs who reduce stress.  I am trying to help my DH through a bunch of stress right now.  He is always so good when I am stressed and now I am like...what do I do?

bows22

@mindyb2019 oh sorry to ruin it for you! It’s definitely still worth watching it just annoyed me 

@_orchid_ I’m jealous that you are seeing signs of spring! It’s been warmer here but it’s probably just a slight break before we get hit with winter again. 

@runningoncookies yeah the “keeping your head above water” at work feeling is not amazing. I hope things calm down for you soon!

@linzrunz I was thinking about you the other day. Glad you’re doing okay! And oh no on missing the bachelor! Now you won’t know everyone on bachelor in paradise haha! I missed a season and feel like there are a group of people I don’t even know. I’m sorry that you need to put a time limit on TTC but hopefully you won’t even get to that point. 

@bluetickgal enjoy your walk tonight!! As soon as tax season is over I want to start nightly walks again, they are the best! 

@dobiemom11 oh no! Be careful what you wish for I guess. I hope it’s not too crazy at work for too long. 

_orchid_

@runningoncookies oh man digging all of those bulbs up must've been exhausting! I had to dig up a small patch of irises last year to split and that took hours for just a small patch! I hear ya on this time of year at school, you got this!!

@feather_heather if you guys are into biographies check out some audiobook ones! Some loving people read their own so it's almost like you're hanging out with them. I loved Tina Fey's and Michelle Obama's. We also loved the Harry Potter audiobooks - even if you've read it before the narrator is amazing and brings another level to it. 

gingermama29

@mindyb2019 yay for a day with the boss away!

@_orchid_ I hope you enjoyed your brief glimpse of spring today.

@runningoncookies This is definitely a tough time of year in the school year. Hang in there!

@linzrunz I was wondering where you'd gone. Welcome back! I'm glad you have a plan. Hopefully you won't have to enact it though!

@bluetickgal I hope you had a nice walk with YH!

@dobiemom11 glad you're getting good hours next month.  

feather_heather

@dobiemom11 - I recently read The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager and it was sooooooo good! Like I want them to make it into a movie or a show! A few other recent good ones were:

- The Last House Guest by Megan Miranda,
- Delirium by Lauren Oliver,
- The Scandal by Nicola Marsh,
- In A Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware,
- The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware,
- The Night Olivia Fell by Christina McDonald,
- The Address by Fiona Davis,
- The Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy

Can you tell I like thrillers/Mysteries? haha

and two historical books:
- Frozen in Time by Mitchell Zuckoff,
- Without a Trace by Sylvia Wrigley (both 1881-1968 and 1970-2016). 

I also recently read a popular one called The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell, but I didn't really like it 

@_orchid_ - Ohhhh I love the idea of listening to Harry Potter as an audiobook! I read the books so long ago, and I don't like to re-read things, but I think listening to them would be awesome!
