My TP is to whatever caused my poor Coffey's broken leg. I hate having to keep him in his kennel he is starting to put some weight on it so that's a good sign.

Is it socially acceptable to TP a 5 year old? Throat tap, maybe?
Alright, I'm throat tapping my 5 year old neighbor who asked me where my boys and girls are. If only I knew, kid.
I'm also TPing NKTOB for having the words "new kids" in the title. I think I'm going to a NKOTB concert in Vegas this summer. I was trying to find a t shirt to wear. Googling the relevant keywords brings up a ton of onesies that say, "the new kid on the block." GRRRRRR!!!
First, TP to the couple on my FB who announced they're newly KU for what I can only guess is about 4-5 weeks along. They don't even know their due date yet, but assume it will be January 2015. HELLO!?! You already have 2 kids, don't you know better!?
Yes...I'm a hater of all pregnant people right now.
Second, I'd like to TP my water heater for bursting Tuesday and leaving me with 3-4+ inches of water in my basement...all while my husband is out of town!!!!!!! Thankfully he came home and was able to replace it fairly quickly. Ouch to the wallet!

I just tried to go to Hallmark and buy a Mother's Day card for my mother. I'm feeling pretty good about Mother's Day and as long as no one asks me about having a kid, I think I'll be okay. So...as I'm browsing a new dad comes up behind, parks his stroller, and starts browsing. Ok, fine. Then the kid starts crying...it's a super newborn baby. So, here I am trying to be a big girl and buy a card and there is an infant crying behind me. FML
Yeah, I was doing OK with the mother's day cards too until I saw the one that was "to my daughter - who is not only my daughter but an amazing mom... blah blah, blah.
That made me almost lose it... thanks for reinforcing my feeling of being an utter failure of a daughter who can't make grandbabies.

That's the type of card that made me cry in CVS! That and the "To Mommy From Baby" cards. I hate how goddamned sappy those cards can be, too. My mom appreciates funny and light-hearted, not solemn and serious. I made C do the card shopping. She did a good job.
My follies have been growing great, went in today for possible iui on Monday and my estrogen levels went down!! Wtf? So no go this cycle. Trying to see it as a blessing but so frustrated.

Wow that is amazingly hurtful.
I would like to TP my stupid ovaries for ovulating too early and my cycle having to be cancled. TP for having mulitple small follies after ovulation because I have no idea what that means but it freaks me the heck out. TP the nurse who I asked what that ment and she said nothing it was fine just go.
And TP me for my insomina starting up again, I had been doing so well.
I would like to TP my husband's unit. Today is my IUI and this was the first time he wasn't able to perform. Thankfully he has time to come home and I called out sick today. We were able to save the cycle but its low. 8 million when we had 20 last time. Motility is better 50% but the tech called his grade weak. :-( not really sure what that means. Sigh. Got the tube keeping warm in my bra. IUI #3 in 45 minutes. Time for me to start praying this one will work.

OMG I soooo am living a nearly identical situation! My brothers GF had their 2nd baby (in less then their 3 years together #1 is almost 2) on Tues night when I was at work I found out via facebook before he called to tell me. I love them and all but I started AF that day and I am having a hard time with the fact they were both oops babies. Here we all are trying our damnedest for ones we want! Today I pulled myself together and got them a baby gift ( I missed the shower due to work and being IF angry) and went over there. She was super sweet to me and appologized multiple times for my situation and says she wished there was something she could do. I graciously thanked her and held that little girl for a few hours cried a few tears after I offered to watch the girls while they went to get food.

I was at work today and another nurse asked me if I was working this weekend and I told her I was working on Saturday but off Sunday. She then said to a whole group of people standing around "I think that everyone who isn't a mother should be working on Sunday and those of us who are should all be off"!! WTF?!? It's not my weekend and I don't think I should have to work an extra weekend day just because I haven't been able to have a child, definitely not for lack of trying!! I just had to walk away, I wanted to curl up and cry. I am still bitter toward her for that comment.

I would like to TP this girl I went to high school with who has been pregnant for at least 2 years (or at least that how it feels). I'm not kidding, she has posted a baby bump pic on Facebook EVERY week since 10 weeks with a poster board in the background that says how she feels, how her husband feels, how hungry she is, the size of the baby, what her sh*t looked like that morning (ok, exaggerating but you get my point). Well now we're close to her due date so all we get is twice a day updates on how big and uncomfortable she is… must defriend asap before the baby pics start.
TP my damn OB/GYN who can't seem to EVER order my blood work without me having to call and make her do it. And a special TP for yesterday, when I called at 9:30 am and she didn't get it into the computer until 6 pm. I had to go to the only wing of the hospital still open to get it drawn: labor & delivery.
What kind of doctor would send an angry woman going through infertility testing to LABOR & DELIVERY for a simple blood draw? I was immediately asked at check-in how far along I was.
I'M JUST FAT, OKAY, NOT PREGNANT.
And then I had to sit in the waiting room and listen to the cries of newborn babies while waiting for my blood draw to figure out why my body is broken. It sucked major balls.

@GinnyJones82 United is by far the worst airline for leaving your bags behind!! I've flown so many times and about 1/2 of the times I flew United, my bags weren't with me at my destination! When I flew to Ireland, we bought tickets through Air France but United actually took us to our layover in Paris, then Air France took us the rest of the way. Guess what? I was in Ireland without my luggage for over a day! They gave me a little bag with a United XL tee shirt, toothbrush, fold up brush, and cheapo razor!! I was irate and haven't used them since! I would rather pay more and fly a different airline! Their customer service sucks as well!

Alright, I'm throat tapping my 5 year old neighbor who asked me where my boys and girls are. If only I knew, kid.
I'm also TPing NKTOB for having the words "new kids" in the title. I think I'm going to a NKOTB concert in Vegas this summer. I was trying to find a t shirt to wear. Googling the relevant keywords brings up a ton of onesies that say, "the new kid on the block." GRRRRRR!!!

Baby mentioned
I just tried to go to Hallmark and buy a Mother's Day card for my mother. I'm feeling pretty good about Mother's Day and as long as no one asks me about having a kid, I think I'll be okay. So...as I'm browsing a new dad comes up behind, parks his stroller, and starts browsing. Ok, fine. Then the kid starts crying...it's a super newborn baby. So, here I am trying to be a big girl and buy a card and there is an infant crying behind me. FML

So I would like to throat punch the universe ....... Woke up the other morning to a picture of my new baby niece who had been born a few minutes before ... Got out of bed and AF started like a cruel reminder that IUI #2 hadn't worked ..... This is baby # 2 for my barely 21 year old brother and his GF in less than 2 years they can barely make ends meet but that doesn't seem to stop them from popping kids out ...... Life is unfair and IF sucks a big fat one ...... Grrrrrrrrrr!!
Ugh I am so sorry you are dealing with a similar situation @Autumray .....
