I moved across the country to teach my first 3 years in my career. I knew no one, just moved for an opportunity. It brought me to really understand certain cultures so much better, and helped me to find myself. I’m really proud that I did it, and I still keep in contact with a lot of my closest friends. My best friend is actually out in Portland, Oregon ❤️

@ejoseph16 fellow teacher here! Love graphic novels, especially for my emerging and reluctant readers! 

@britters314 fx you nailed the timing! 

britters314

@ejoseph16 It’s crazy how many books have been rewritten into graphic novels. There are so many great options, I love it!

What number are you trying for? 3 Month/Cycle? 10/6 WTO/TWW? WTO! 🎉🎉🎉 Ages of other child(ren)? 2 and 6 Any thoughts about this cycle? We are cleared to try again after a loss. Fingers crossed! Any questions? Rant/Rave? my oldest is being AWFUL lately. We are in the process of moving, TTC, my MIL just passed away so it’s a lot. But 🥴 I had to carry him in to school today and drop off a puddle of screaming kid. GTKY: I can’t think of a good question this week, so just tell me an interesting fact about yourself. I have a phobia of cotton balls. I got a pedicure the other day and the woman used a cotton ball to remove the polish and laughed at me because I was SO grossed out by it. My dentist always asks “oh am I hurting you?” When he puts the rolled cotton in my mouth. Nope. Just super grossed out.

@mambo5-2 Sorry everything is getting in the way of timing this cycle, that always sucks

@charmedlifex3 That’s a phobia I’ve never heard of. Did you have some sort of traumatic experience with cotton balls as a child or have you just always hated them?


AFM, my kids seem to have babies on the brain as much as I do lately lol. They keep playing a game where they are pretending to be pregnant Star Wars characters. Usually Rey, sometimes Leia, but oddly never Padme.

@britters314 hahahahah my kids go through waves. My son asked me if I was pregnant because I was getting chubby 😑

charmedlifex3

@britters314 I had braces pretty young and they used to stuff cotton in my mouth when they worked on them. That’s all I can think of. But like … I even have trouble talking about them. SO gross.

Any thoughts about this cycle? well, normally my BBT is on a downward trend after 6dpo or so and it's 11dpo today and still climbing . This is one of my longer LPs PP so that doesn't help. BFN this morning even though I was totally convinced I had to be KU because why else would my BBT look like this?? Of course the test was actually expired and I REALLY had to pee when I took it so cue the 

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? We're in the 60s today! Yay spring! And we should have our robot mower fully set up later today so the lawn can start getting mowed. Tomorrow we have a baseball game and tailgating beforehand as long as DH and I both start feeling better. Both of us have come down with colds so the congestion is strong in this house.

GTKY: I can’t think of a good question this week, so just tell me an interesting fact about yourself. This seems like a really lame fact... but I've lived in 3 different states in my life (IL, AZ, and currently WI).
