I have a major project due today in all of my classes because it's the end of the quarter, and you know, midterms. I've been telling my students about the due date for WEEKS because I'm good at my job. I had two students come up to me today at the end of their 99-minute block to tell me they aren't done. And I'm like, "Okay. You get a zero." Sometimes, they're understanding, but most of the time they throw a massive fit...which means when I enter the 0 into the grade books I"m all like:

Does this make me a bad teacher?
Better to learn that lesson now than get fired from a job. I bet their parents are gonna call you though.
My FFFC is more of a bitchfest. I wish people at work would stop asking me to do them "favors" aka help with things that I'm not getting paid to help with, making my schedule nightmarish and requiring me to do things that I could get done during work at home in my own time. Also I need to get better at just saying no (but when I say no they ask again and it's like wtf? How many times do I have to say no?).
In August I did this thing where I turned all the hangars in my closet backwards, and when I wore an item I would turn it back around (so I could see what was worn and what wasn't). It turns out I have a packed closet, I only wear like 3 things, and I always feel like I have nothing to wear. The reason I don't wear a lot of it? It would take a modicum of effort to pull together and they aren't as comfortable as my stretchy pants.
I also may or may not be currently browsing online clothing stores.

@BerkeBaby, Absolutely not! I do the same, and then sometimes(depends on which student) I chuckle every time I remember it.
Also something that can help making sure they remember/mom&dad know, isn't as bad a call home but can still get parents involved, is Remind.com I use it to send out a reminder like 'test tomorrow, study tonight' or 'xyz parts of your project are due in 2 days'. It is a safe way to send student/mom/dad a text and it covers your ass as you can never delete the chats you have with students.

@Kate08Young - I love Remind.com, but I have to go through a bilingual liaison due to teaching English language learners. Most of their parents don't speak any English.
I'm sending an email to our Nepali liaison for a couple of students to let their parents know.
I convinced myself I was pregnant this week. My cycles have been all over the place and my period is later than expected. I mean I planned things out in my head about timing etc. Finally tested today and BFN. I feel pretty dumb now to get myself all hyped up like that when I know better and how much a mind game TTC can be.

Okay...I have one more because I'm a crazy person and it's Friday...
So I don't know if this is a UO or a FFFC, but I just love sitting here with my students working in groups and listening to them talk in their native languages. They are working their butts off to learning English, but I love hearing them bounce ideas off each other and check for clarity. I know the knee-jerk reactions is to say, "Why didn't they learn English before they came to this country," or, "This is America, we speak English here." However, they are trying so hard and are so excited to be here. When they are being the good kids I know they can be, it reignites my desire to teach. I wish I could speak more languages! I only know conversational phrases and directions in Spanish and a VERY little French. I'm jealous that they are bilingual (and many of my Thai students speak 4 languages - including English).
My confession is that I put a zillion detailed notes into FF practically every day so that in the next cycle I won't ask myself "did I feel this way or have this symptom last cycle?" I'm trying to keep the BSC at bay, but I know deep down inside I will be looking for reasons to say, "yes, but it's DIFFERENT this cycle."
Bonus confession: I love chart stalking. I'm a data geek already, and it's like a game to see if I'm right about what the data says.

@Aurora1973 I'm trying to do the same thing with entering symptoms - Every time AF has approached since getting off BCP, my symptoms have been different, and still no BFP. I'm hoping that'll keep my BSC away as time goes on during the TWW because I'll be able to see that I've had all sorts of combos of symptoms and so far they haven't meant anything.

Due with #2 5/2/19 after HIO once in my FW, because apparently that's how life works now. Team Blue!
I really hate how it shows "trying to get pregnant" at the top of my phone when I'm using TB mobile. I want to bump on my lunch break at work, but don't want anyone seeing what I do. So sometime I sit in my car just to be able to bump without nosey people asking me what I'm doing. haha
Okay I'm sitting in my car now. Not even sorry that I'm not socializing with the co-workers.
@Aurora1973mrsdee15 I'm so jealous you ladies can do this. The stupid progesterone supplements give me all of the same symptoms I had with my previous BFPs so I can't even distinguish what my body is doing vs what the hormones are making my body feel. Bleh. Because of that I think I'm going to skip temping after O. It made my temps an unrealistic triphasic.
@nwegman7878 Last cycle I stopped temping after confirmed O because it was stressing me out every morning to see what my temp was doing, and it was a nice change during the TWW. I would recommend trying it out. The only thing was I was worried that if my O didn't really happen, I wouldn't know. So it has its perks and drawbacks, but I felt a great deal less stressed.

mrsdee15 Agreed. Once I get a positive OPK and a temp shift I think I'm done temping for the cycle. That way I can stop overanalyzing my chart overlay like last month.
My FFFC is that Yesterday my mom asked me if I wanted to go on a long weekend with her to Phoenix where my aunt lives. Of course when she first asked I was all excited because I love going down there and it would have been a super fun girls weekend! When I got home from work last night I checked my calendar (and by calendar I mean FF because that is now my go to calendar) and I realized the trip would be right in my middle of my FW completely taking me out of my next cycle. Lets just say I was super relieved when my manager denied my request for the time off today. At least now I don't have to lie or make up an excuse to miss the trip! I sort of hate that my life has to revolve around being able to have sex on the reg.

mrsdee15 Right? I kept trying to sway the percentages. I had like 55% Pregnancy, 40% Ovulatory, 5% MC compared with my chart. With the additional 77pts on my prego monitor, FF thought I was totes KU.
My mother asked me to come visit while she has some time off in April. I told her I would. What I didn't tell her is that the visit would fall a few days after my projected fertile window for April so if I end up Oing later than normal I may have to skip visiting her to stay home and HIO. Sorry, not sorry. I'm not giving up a month.
ETA: My other FFFC is that one of DH's old college friends just sent us a wedding invitation. I have literally never met the guy or the woman he is marrying. I don't know anyone at all who will be at the wedding except DH. I really don't want to travel to NJ (we live in VA) and stay there over the weekend or whatever just to go to the wedding or someone I've never met and will likely never see again. Weddings are really, really boring when you don't know anyone and you can't drink. I told DH I don't want to go and he is acting like I said I don't want to go to the wedding of a close friend or family member. Whatever DH. I promise I won't make you attend a wedding with me for one of my highschool/college friends that you've never met and will never see again.
Plus, the guy is a total bag of dicks from everything I've heard. And anytime DH hangs out with this guy, DH comes home acting like a jerk. So... no.
Edit: changed some words for clarity.
Me: 28 Husband: 31 TTC#1: January 2015- September 2016 Infertility, Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Rainbow baby born June 6, 2017 ❤️
My FFFC is that H has been wanting new irons (for golf). I told him it's not the month for that since we owe a few thousand in taxes that I'm going to pay this month (I handle our finances). I have bought myself SO MUCH this month - clothes, shoes, expensive skincare products, and just got my hair highlighted/cut at a swanky salon yesterday. He is so cool with me doing anything I want and here I am telling him he can't have the only thing he wants. I'm a jerk. I tried finding the clubs he was looking for and surprising him but there's all types of lofts, lengths and materials for these clubs. Oh well. It's the thought that counts, right?!
@mrsdee15 and @nwegman7878I'm so sorry that you have to deal with that! SS is hard enough!

I really hate when people say "You will understand more when you have kids" like really is there some handbook that I'm going to get and then I'll be like ahhh! That makes sense why they did those things I didn't agree with at the time.. It's ok when you have kids!! Backstory is that my BIL leaves his napping kids in the car all the time. It bothers me.. Because he is absent minded and when he does it he is not paying attention to the car and I find my entire family taking turns watching because he is completely ignoring it. Like bring the kid inside if you are not going to watch. He is always "off duty" when family is around and he feels he doesn't have to think about the kids because we are all around to "baby sit". Oh and dont dare ask him to watch the car or go get the kid because he explodes. #angerissues
Im sorry but I don't think leaving your kid on the side of the road in the city is a good parenting choice especially if you're not going to pay attention. Flame me if you want. A friend of his was texting me and somehow we got to talking about that.. and they were like "Oh you will understand when you have kids" "I've known him for 20 years he's not like that" Oh Sure.. I'm sorry I don't think you do know him then because he's such a piece of work I could write a book.
I'm so heated.. I guess I will go on my kidless way and not worry about what happens.

I've said almost nothing to DH about getting his SA since we saw my gyn. I made the appointment, made sure he got there, and asked my doctor to write the script... Now he needs to make the appointment for drop off, figure out the timing to abstain for 2-5 days before producing a sample, and coordinate how to get it there (we only have one car).
I think I just want to give him a taste of what this whole ttc process has been like for me, day in and day out for 11 months.

I had a chicken quesadilla for lunch. I didn't want to make one for DH, and I wanted another one for lunch tomorrow, so I told him we were out of tortillas and then hid the tortillas.
@LadyMillil I have been doing a similar thing with Reese's Easter eggs. Our grocery has them "buy 2 get one free", so I bring him one, eat one, and totally hide the other for me to eat later. I consider it my reward for grocery shopping. If he wants to do it, he can have the third egg!!

My confession is that I just used one of those "when would your baby be born" websites and I'm a tad ashamed. And I read every detail down to when potential weeks along would break down. The BSC is strong with this one. Edited to fix gif
@BerkeBaby I have so much respect for your enthusiasm. We've talked about our ELLs before, but I'm so jealous that yours are eager to learn English. Most of our ELLs only come to school so that their parents can get McKinney-Vento and social security benefits. They sit in class (if they come to class) and refuse to even attempt to speak English. It's depressing for me, and it's so frustrating for my English-speaking students. It's the worst for my bilingual students, who bear so much of the burden of translation for kids who won't put in the effort. It's not fair to them, but what else can we do?
I have two FFFCs. The first is work-related: a guy in my department was suspended pending a drug test yesterday because he got really upset when the police came in to do their monthly K-9 rounds. The police officers came into his classroom and started patting down all the students and treating them roughly and rudely. My colleague spoke up in defense of his students, and the principal decided that his behavior was "out of character" enough that he suspected my colleague of being high. It's total BS and he will hopefully be back on Wednesday, but COME ON. Yall know we've been going through a lot at my school this year. This interim principal has us living in a total police state. But my confession today is that I think I've figured him out a little bit, and as pissed off as I am that he's screwing with my colleagues, I also am really hesitant to rock the boat. We had to do mid-year reviews this week, and he asked for working portfolios. I got a little indignant and was like, "he wants a portfolio? He's getting a fuckin' portfolio." And then I proceeded to essentially create an entire end-of-year portfolio hundreds of pages long. He saw it and about lost his shit. Said it was the best one he'd seen and I'm so detail-oriented and a consummate professional and whatever. I took the opportunity to put a bug in his ear about a couple of things, and he acted on them right away. I feel like maybe I have an opportunity to get some things I want out of this guy, and I feel like a real ass for not backing up my colleague... but also, I feel like my college would do the same thing in my position.
My other confession is for @20T and a couple other people... I can't remember exactly who else, though. Your avatar issue today reminded me that I got all tweaked the other day because I was on mobile and a bunch of people's avatars looked like they were the same as my avatar, which is a picture of my dog. I had a quick second where I was like "why is everyone using my weird picture of my dog??" And then I realized that TB was just being weird. And then I felt very silly. But, moral of the story: TB messes up avatars all the time, especially on mobile.
Not sure if this is FFFC appropriate but TMI warning. Part of the symptoms of dealing with endometriosis is random cramps and diarrhea throughout the month. I had planned to go to an art exhibit that my friend was hosting tonight, but about an hour before it started, my stomach decided that an internal war with my innards sounded like a better idea. I ended up being an hour late to the exhibit, and then my stomach started up again shortly after I got there. This wouldn't be such a big issue but this is the same friend who just had a baby shower and I had a meltdown beforehand so I ended up not going. I hate that I'm such a flake. Logically and emotionally I know I'm not a maliciously flakey person, but I can't go around explaining my health to everyone, nor do I want to, because I don't want it to define who I am.

@lcsrva I got a random message from someone a few months ago asking me to change my avatar because it was one of her photos. She then sent me another one immediately and said never mind, it must have been a glitch. I was like yeahhhh, that's my husband and dog. Definitely not your picture. Haha!

It's really annoying when my co-workers miss work or have to leave work early frequently for something related to their kids. Maybe I am just a b*tch. But excuses like: "Oh my kid has a recital I need to go to", "sick kid at home", "so and so has a holiday party at school" .... I'm sure it's all important, but making it a frequent occurrence is not okay. Then sometimes people will say, "you'll understand when you have kids" or assume just because I don't have kids then whatever I have planned is not as important.

ETA yikes sorry for the long rant.
Gah! I totally get you. Sometimes I feel like my IBS-D is more in control of me and has made me become such a flake. I feel pretty defeated when I don't have control over my body. I don't have much of a filter around my close friends/family so I've been pretty upfront about it (probably too much) and feel like they are now more understanding when I call code brown. Sorry you're having to deal with all of that.
My FFFC is that my final paper for one of my grad classes is due in two days and I haven't even started it yet. That's how all the really good papers are done though, right? Right.
@lcsrva - trust me, there are definitely some that don't want to be there. I had a total of 6 kids today who will be failing my class because they decided to sleep instead of get their project done. It's their loss. The majority of my ESL kids are amazing. They are such hard workers and all around good kids.
i'm sorry to hear about your colleague. It really has been a rough year for you all.

Re: FFFC
I have a major project due today in all of my classes because it's the end of the quarter, and you know, midterms. I've been telling my students about the due date for WEEKS because I'm good at my job. I had two students come up to me today at the end of their 99-minute block to tell me they aren't done. And I'm like, "Okay. You get a zero." Sometimes, they're understanding, but most of the time they throw a massive fit...which means when I enter the 0 into the grade books I"m all like:
Does this make me a bad teacher?
My FFFC is more of a bitchfest. I wish people at work would stop asking me to do them "favors" aka help with things that I'm not getting paid to help with, making my schedule nightmarish and requiring me to do things that I could get done during work at home in my own time. Also I need to get better at just saying no (but when I say no they ask again and it's like wtf? How many times do I have to say no?).

ETA: My other FFFC is that one of DH's old college friends just sent us a wedding invitation. I have literally never met the guy or the woman he is marrying. I don't know anyone at all who will be at the wedding except DH. I really don't want to travel to NJ (we live in VA) and stay there over the weekend or whatever just to go to the wedding or someone I've never met and will likely never see again. Weddings are really, really boring when you don't know anyone and you can't drink. I told DH I don't want to go and he is acting like I said I don't want to go to the wedding of a close friend or family member. Whatever DH. I promise I won't make you attend a wedding with me for one of my highschool/college friends that you've never met and will never see again.
Plus, the guy is a total bag of dicks from everything I've heard. And anytime DH hangs out with this guy, DH comes home acting like a jerk. So... no.
Edit: changed some words for clarity.

Im sorry but I don't think leaving your kid on the side of the road in the city is a good parenting choice especially if you're not going to pay attention. Flame me if you want. A friend of his was texting me and somehow we got to talking about that.. and they were like "Oh you will understand when you have kids" "I've known him for 20 years he's not like that" Oh Sure.. I'm sorry I don't think you do know him then because he's such a piece of work I could write a book.
I'm so heated.. I guess I will go on my kidless way and not worry about what happens.

Our grocery has them "buy 2 get one free", so I bring him one, eat one, and totally hide the other for me to eat later.
I consider it my reward for grocery shopping. If he wants to do it, he can have the third egg!!

November 2016: IUI #2- BFN

My confession is that I just used one of those "when would your baby be born" websites and I'm a tad ashamed. And I read every detail down to when potential weeks along would break down. The BSC is strong with this one.
Edited to fix gif
I have two FFFCs. The first is work-related: a guy in my department was suspended pending a drug test yesterday because he got really upset when the police came in to do their monthly K-9 rounds. The police officers came into his classroom and started patting down all the students and treating them roughly and rudely. My colleague spoke up in defense of his students, and the principal decided that his behavior was "out of character" enough that he suspected my colleague of being high. It's total BS and he will hopefully be back on Wednesday, but COME ON. Yall know we've been going through a lot at my school this year. This interim principal has us living in a total police state. But my confession today is that I think I've figured him out a little bit, and as pissed off as I am that he's screwing with my colleagues, I also am really hesitant to rock the boat. We had to do mid-year reviews this week, and he asked for working portfolios. I got a little indignant and was like, "he wants a portfolio? He's getting a fuckin' portfolio." And then I proceeded to essentially create an entire end-of-year portfolio hundreds of pages long. He saw it and about lost his shit. Said it was the best one he'd seen and I'm so detail-oriented and a consummate professional and whatever. I took the opportunity to put a bug in his ear about a couple of things, and he acted on them right away. I feel like maybe I have an opportunity to get some things I want out of this guy, and I feel like a real ass for not backing up my colleague... but also, I feel like my college would do the same thing in my position.
My other confession is for @20T and a couple other people... I can't remember exactly who else, though. Your avatar issue today reminded me that I got all tweaked the other day because I was on mobile and a bunch of people's avatars looked like they were the same as my avatar, which is a picture of my dog. I had a quick second where I was like "why is everyone using my weird picture of my dog??" And then I realized that TB was just being weird. And then I felt very silly. But, moral of the story: TB messes up avatars all the time, especially on mobile.
