  • I'm bitching about the weather on behalf of H. I actually love the cold, and I miss living in UT, where there was lovely snow. That being said, snow is a different beast than the 'Wintry Mix' that we're expecting tonight and tomorrow. Basically freezing rain and ice. Which sucks because H has a major PT test Wednesday, so I'm hoping everything dries out for that and people aren't stuck in traffic (it was heinous last week, they closed all the bridges, with people on them, and it was taking people 4 hours to make a 20 minute commute). Because if he isn't allowed to do it Weds, then it's another week before he can do another one. And he will lose his mind.

    My head has been itchy for the last few weeks! It's driving me crazy! It's not a constant thing, mostly at night when I am sleeping and occasionally during the day. I keep getting DH to see if my scalp is red or rashy, he says it's not. It's not dry and I have no dandruff and have not changed my shampoos or anything. At this point it's just very annoying. I am not sure if I need to change to one of those shampoos for for dry scalp even if I don't know if that's it, or if I should go to my dr. Grr!!!

    I hope everyone's day gets better!!

    Try a water/vinegar rinse.  Sometimes buildup from my shampoo/conditioner makes my head itch, too.  This usually solves it the first time, sometimes it takes a second time.  Or a change of shampoo/conditioner.  Don't use dandruff or dry scalp shampoo if you don't have it.  It'll cause other issues.


    Thanks for the tip!!! I will try the water vinegar rinse. How much of each do I use?
  • I didn't really have one today, except for the polar vortex.

    However, my sister just fixed that for me! She came over and the conversation turned to babies (she's the only one who knows we are TTC). She says to me "Hurry up and get pregnant so I can buy baby clothes". To which I responded with "I promise, we are trying".  The next thing out of her mouth is my bitchfest for the day "If you weren't trying so hard, you would be pregnant already. --- quit trying and look she's pregnant."  

    I looked at her like she was nuts. I then schooled her on 20% chance each month, small fertile window, etc..... so why wouldn't I want to know the best days for that to happen.  She responded with "I didn't try with either of mine".  

    FFS, shut your mouth.

  • I live in the Chicago area, and my district and my kids' district just called the FOURTH day off of school this year for tomorrow because it's so freaking cold here. (There are windchill readings of 35 to 45 degrees below zero.) At this rate we're going to be in school until July!

    FWteacherP, but still. I'm so pissed. Or, I guess it would be more accurate to say that I'll be so pissed in June. ;-)

  • We're going to take this month off from TTC while I look for a new job.  Gah.  I know it's ridiculous, but I can't help but feel like every month counts, especially given my age.

    DH and I are both still sick.  He was up and out of bed with coughing fits twice last night (and then woke me up too) and DD2 woke up at 4:45 and refused to go back to sleep or even just snuggle.

    And the antibiotics I'm on are wreaking havoc with my digestive system.  

    It's just as well that we're not TTC this month, with everything else that's going on, I just want to curl up underneath a blanket, eat candy, and cry.
  •  I've lost all hope and I just want to drink and cry.
    I'm right there with you, @pintobean39  Hugs and wine and chocolate coming your way.  Hang in there!

    My bitch is that I think we should be responsible and start TTA until this semester is over the first week of May. I've got a full course load and I just know I'll become lazy and if I get morning sickness, 3 early classes a week will not happen. It's only like 3 months which isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things but gosh darnit I want to try NAO. We had horrible timing this cycle and weren't even really trying so I'm pretty positive were out, and when CD1 comes well be putting the goalie back in net for 3 cycles

    *snip*
    I'm with you on this one, janda, but from the teaching side.  A full-time teaching job just opened up in the department I part-time in, and I really want to apply.  The catch--if I get KU'ed in the next few months, I'd have to be out my first semester teaching there for 6 weeks.  I know they can't discriminate, but full-time jobs are so hard to come by that it would be very easy for them to say they found a better candidate and pass me over because I'm pregnant.  Even if I don't get the full-time job, getting pregnant in the next 2 cycles would mean missing both fall and spring as a part-timer if I'm due during fall semester (that's my choice--I want #2 to have as much time home with me as #1 did; obviously that would not happen with a full-time job).  All this to say that we should TTA this cycle and the next one too.  However, our timing was outstanding this cycle.  So much for being responsible and trying to get a full-time job.  It really sucks having the lion's share of reproducing on us women sometimes.

  • I'm at my old high school for a college dance class. Why the hell am I paying college tuition to take this course in a high school dance studio??
  • Good luck @SnakeFisherBub! Call-backs are the worst. My doctor's office is like that, I can't just call, I always have to call a glorified answering machine and then they call me back from a number that says 'unlisted.' Hate it.

  • I want to bitch. I know it isn't their fault per say but I found the courage to call a RE office and I had to leave a message. Now I'll have to wait for them to call me back. I want to bitch that I just wanted to make the appointment and not have to wait. I spent at least a good 30 minutes with my hand hovering over the call button. I was so nervous and I almost gave my work number out instead of my personal number out of habit. haha duh!
    Good luck! *hugs*
  • Today sucked for so many reasons!

    But I just want to pass on hugs to everyone!! Here is hoping for a better Tuesday!
  • In Texas for a trip (I am from the north so negative 30's in the north) and past few days in Texas was nice and warm but it is freaking 20 and windy. Happy freakin trip to warmer weather.
  • I ordered some wondfo HPT test on amazon estimated delivery day March 17, 2014 ..... Really??? Even amazon thinks I'm not going to need them for a long time. :-(

  • I am a doula/social worker and most of my clients are expecting or new mom's. I went to the hospital with my client today because the rehab facility she is a resident in gave her a list of false symptoms to tell the doctor so she can deliver! I had NO IDEA they told her to do that so it was a huge waist of 3hrs, gas and$10 for parking!! She was sent back.... who does that?! I definitely wanted to throat punch the program director.
  • Found out my cousin is pregnant with her 2nd by her sister posting about it on Facebook. I guess I'm not important enough to find out from her personally. Ugh even a text would be better!
  • My MIL has this way of asking things that makes it obvious that she is prying for info. You can always tell when she is doing it. Saturday night we were at an outing and were talking about houses, when she slowly said "soooo.... I bet you are waiting till you have a house to have kids.....?" I said yes but I so badly wanted to blurt out "lady, today is CD 80. Since I can't make a baby I may as well do some fucking house hunting!" Ugh it still irks me today.
  • Ah @pintobean39 stupid Amazon! :(

    My bitch is at myself- put down the freaking Sarris milk chocolate candy bar already! It's so delicious but I know I'll regret it when I have a stomach ache in an hour. I know I have IBS, why do I torture myself.

  • It's Tuesday, but one of my fire alarms have had "low battery" chirping... at 3AM. No batteries in the house. I couldn't find the manual, so after 15-20min of button-pressing and setting off the test alarms I found the temporary "silence mode"... Ugh.
