Let's here 'em ladies!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kelly321 · April 2012

I've got two today.

1. While DH was watching DD this morning so I could work on my dissertation, I was reading The Hunger Games instead. I started it the other day and couldn't put it down, but now I'm done, so only 2 more books to go before I finally get back to work... Embarrassed

2. I would have like to have voted in the superlatives thing because I had people in mind for at least a few of the categories, but I'm so bad at remembering screen names that I couldn't vote without taking a huge amount of time to go looking for the people. So I didn't vote. Sorry to everyone I would have nominated.

I won a contest to have a multi-course dinner at a fancy restaurant here. Each course (6!) had a wine pairing. I drank my wine, plus a glass of H's that he didn't like. When I got home, I was sicker than I'd ever been as a younger drinker. It must have been the sugar in the wine, I don't know. I puked like a champ that evening and was completely non-functional the following day. I had to take a sick day for a *terrible* hangover at the ripe old age of 33.

Oh no CLE! LOL I'm sorry you were sick.

I'm kind of guilty of something similar to this. DH get's up with DS at least once a week so I can sleep in. Well, this week, the one day that DH got up with Landon, I stayed in bed, awake, browsing the internet. Zip it! LOL.

I have been putting on such a facade the past few weeks....smiling and acting all happy for all my friends and family when in reality I have been majorly bumming hard core inside. Sad

Scared....nervous......angry about the next step we have to take in TTC. *Sigh*

Oh no. I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Do they not know at all or do you just not want them to know how you're feeling about it?

kleigh926 · April 2012

On Wednesday I decided that after only 2 weeks, I'm giving up trying to run to get in shape. I thought starting out slow and only running about a half mile would help me like it more and stick with it. Nope, I HATE it. So I switched to an easier fast walk with my dog instead. I keep telling myself it's better than nothing...

Last weekend I was bored so I went into a Buy Buy Baby store. I walked around and browsed like I was supposed to be there. I saw a crib that caught my eye so I went over to it to inspect it and a sales person came over and asked if I needed help. I told him I was just looking and he made a face and said, "Fooooor you or someone else?" My reply? "For me, I just found out." (Yeah. I know, stupid.)
He stared at my stomach for a second and said, "Well, if you have a November due date you could purchase the crib now and we can keep it in our basement until you're ready to pick it up." I thanked him for his help and walked out of the store and cried in my car for a good 10 minutes.

Sad Blah.

To maybe make you feel just a tad bit better, I think I'm in love with your wedding dress, and the picture in your siggy is gorgeous. I keep wanting to catch you in a thread to say that but haven't gotten around to it.

The insane amount of chart stalk threads are making me stabby. I'm also judging you if you're worried about donating blood, taking Advil or working out hard while TTC.

TTC =/= pregnant.

There are TTGP Bumpie awards at stake!! Stick out tongue

monimu13 · April 2012

My FFFC is that I was way too optimistic this cycle...shouldnt have done that to myself. I have really bad cramps (vomiting, lightheadeness, etc.) but decided against taking any of my presciption pain medication until I was ABSOLUTELY sure it was AF. This was even after my gigantic temp drop yesterday morning. Because of my delay, I ended up almost passing out from the pain at work yesterday and had to go lay down in one of the empty patient rooms until my meds kicked in. To top it off, this is my cycle 12 (cycle 10 TTC) and I'm having some issues dealing with that this morning. I just need a swift kick in the azz to get myself together.

Yeah, they know about it.....I just don't want people to feel sorry for me and pity me I guess.....so I keep it in!

I thought the WTP thread was totally passive aggressive (esp. In the spirit of check-ins, and since I don't "fit" into any of these others) and not particularly funny. The "it isn't done this way" mentality of this board sometimes is totally lame.

It was a joke. Just like half of the stuff that is posted on here. I don't fit in anywhere but the waiting for something thread either and I didn't take it personally. If you can't laugh about this whole journey, what can you do?

kje120 · April 2012

I know this will probably get me flamed big time, but when I see a parent pushing their baby in a stroller or in a shopping cart across the parking lot and they light up a cigarette I automatically categorize them as a shittty parent.

thanks, I'm working on keeping my day full so that I dont have to think about it too much, also considering taking a break from temping this cycle...

Baby dust doesn't make me think of sneezing, it makes me think of cremation.

I know that's a horrid, awful, very bad thing to say. :-( Flame away.

Deblondie1 · April 2012

MH literally just walked out the door for a 6 week TDY. A small part is very excited. I get the whole bed to myself and the remote control and I don't have to cook dinner every night if I don't want to.

The main part of me is sad and annoyed that he is gone again, I like having him around. You know, to take out the trash and open jars But the confession part is I am also excited.

*blue*flower* · April 2012

I just made a half batch of cupcakes so I don't have plans of sharing them. If I don't frost them I can feel less guilty right?

ETA: My in laws keep tagging me in pictures of their kid. I find it annoying and just plain weird. When they tag me in these pictures I get so annoyed that I don't even comment on the pictures.

I am doing the C25K program to get back into running. I hate running but find the program mildly enjoyable. It alternates jogging and walking. Something to look into?

rrdiva1 · April 2012

When I went to Target yesterday to get a card for a friend's birthday, I saw the signs for Mother's day and immediately felt like crap. I panicked in my head and had a mini breakdown because I realized it is going to fall on a sunday.

My Confession is I interpret (sign language) at my church at the service time that has a lot of people. 100's. I do not know if I can handle being in front of everyone while they have special mother's day services, praying I don't break down. I actually thought about "skipping service" for that day. I prob. won't,because I know what I do is needed, but I know it will be beyond hard because they usually call all the mothers to the altar to pray for them and it feels like crap when only a few are left.

I feel like I should flame myself, because I am being silly and need to suck it up.

My second confession is as soon as my period is over, I will be back ttc again.

I totally get this! My DH will have a mini TDY coming up and I am looking forward to the projects I can get done by staying up late while he is gone! I always sleep poorly when he is gone so I decided if I'm going to be sleep deprived I may as well get things accomplished!

When I get pregnant, we're going to say it was an accident. Mostly because all of our family thinks we're too young to have kids right now. We're 25, I think that's plenty old enough!

Biogirl, I might have to do that at work if I got into the senior management program I applied for. I'd get the side eye for trying to do both at once.

BTW, I was 25 when I had my son and I think it's plenty old.

Yeah, H is thinking about Grad school too, so that's another thing we'd get judged for if we were trying. His family can be very opinionated and judgy. His dad told him that if we got married while H was still in school that he would kill me. Well we did, H graduated and it's all fine!

I think if you have your shiiit together, it shouldn't matter.

Good luck with getting in/completing the program!
