1. Free counselling session at our clinic today was actually pretty good! 2. She said we can come back for another free couple's session and they are even offerred some evenings, so maybe that will actually happen, too! 3. DH. He is just such a good guy and I am amazed by his heart every day, even when he's hurting... 4. Birdies chirping in the backyard 5. Sweet-smelling tree blossoms 6. Our home... ❤ 7. My friend called me at just the right time today. 8. New work pants 9. Avocados! 10. Looking forward to yummy sausage, peppers and inions for dinner!
1. My dog - had a health scare with him last night and I'm feeling extra grateful for him as I'm at home today caring for him. 2. Amazon Prime. 3. AF appears to be on her way after my course of Provera. A good sign. 4. My snarky cousins who I group text with. 5. Our yard finally looks nice. 6. Spring rain showers. 7. My car is finally paid off. 8. Watercolors. 9. That we're finally taking a vacation. 10. My mom, who supports me in everything I do and is my true best friend. 11. Cheese. Cheese is always #11.
Oh this is fun, I like this. Do we have anything for Thursdays? We can do 10TT (10 Things Thursday)?<br><br>
1. I'm married! (I mean, we've BEEN married, but sometimes I just bursts of excitement for it, sometimes it's just hard to believe that I'M married)<br>
2. New manager at work is nice!<br>
3. Date night tomorrow!<br>
4. Burger and Beer fest Saturday!<br>
5. Day off tomorrow!<br>
6. Finally getting a mole on my back removed (a bit nervous, but it should be a beeze).<br>
7. Loving my new car! It's so pretty!<br>
8. Finally talked my mom into going out to brunch.<br>
9. Looking forward to puppy snuggles when I get home.<br>
I won't lie - this is always really hard for me to think of 10 things, which is ridiculous.
1) I have homemade giant pretzels waiting for me at home 2) Next week starts the last month of the school year for us. 3) H is looking for a new job and I'm really excited for the life changes that could bring. 4) One of my classes is doing a wood burning project so my room smells like a campfire all day which I really enjoy. 5) My least favorite admin is retiring and I can't wait to never have to deal with him again. 6) Next week is my last week of teaching yoga before taking a bread. I'm a little sad about it, but I'm looking forward to 100% prioritizing my own body and not my students. 7) I got to see a very, very old friend last night. 8) I finished re watching the most recent season of GoT and ohhhhhmygah I'm excited for this summer. 9) I get a few days off BC which means good sleep! 10) My parents got 23andMe kits and I'm really looking forward to seeing all that information!
1. My dog and cats. Even when my cats wake me up in the morning to eat, they are so sweet. 2. My parents! So lucky to finally live back near where they live--two miles away! 3. My job. Man did I luck out with this one! I'm working at the college where I did my undergraduate. 4. Good podcasts. Makes my long drive not so awful! 5. HBO. Seriously, their game is on point! 6. The weather! Gone are the dark cold winter days! DH, the pup, and I have gone on long walks the past 9 days after work! 7. I've kicked a nasty sleeping pill dependency. Taking it no longer even crosses my mind--and the insomnia anxiety is gone! 8. Bless you, Ben and Jerry's for making VEGAN ice cream. I'll gain weight but enjoy doing it! 9. DH hasn't been too bad lately 10. Things could be worse!
I almost started a Ten Things Tuesday yesterday because I need a major attitude readjustment, as my girls in the IF thread read about in detail. Thanks for starting it, @BusinessWife !!
1. I love spring. 2. The flu I had for a week is almost gone...my voice just still sounds sick, so people are being nice to me, too!! 3. Acupuncture was amazing last night, and just what I needed. 4 The girls in the IF thread kick ass (as do you all). 5. OH has an event with DSS tonight, so I get a rare evening of solo TV. 6. I'm a late bloomer, but I love where my life is going. 7. OH is a freaking trooper. He complains sometimes, but he is always on board with all this TTC insanity. 8. I love my stepson to pieces. He is a joy and a blessing in my life. 9. I know that our odds seem to decrease by the day, but if in the end, OH and I don't have a child together, I'm so lucky to be with this man I love, and we'll figure out how to be happy anyway. We always do. 10. But I still have hope. It's not impossible, and I haven't given up yet.

@sunniegrly so glad your doggie's okay, AF is finally on her way, and OMG you got your car paid off!?!! Congrats!
@JennyColada. We usually do Ten Things Tuesday, but I guess no one started it yesterday, so I went for it today instead. We have done Thankful Thursday before, where you can say anything you're thankful for or happy about, and I have also seen a TTGP grad start up Five Things Friday on her BMB, too, if anyone wants to start doing that!? (Easier to come up with 5 than 10 lol)
@antoto that's one of my favourite smells, too!
@EmilyLove25 so glad your enjoying your job and your commute. What podcasts are you listening to?
@Aurora1973. NP! And feel free to start it up any time! Don't be shy... ;) three cheers for a night of solo tv night ❤ wut wut You deserve it, and hope you have the cozy, relaxing fantasy evening of your wildest dreams! :D
1. Today's my Friday 2. Tired little boys 3. Late April chilly days 4. Starbucks opened three blocks from my work 5. My principals response to said Starbucks "fuck yes" 6. 6 flags this weekend with all my boys 7. 33 days left this school year! 8. Sponal hardware 9. Karate class 10. Sleep. Dear God. Sleep.
@antoto seriously homemade giant pretzels would make my day
@BusinessWife@antoto I've almost commented on this thread a few times in the past, but in the end I'm always like, "10?!" And then I feel bad because I really should be able to think of 10.
2. The IT department for taking care of all my stuff without going full Nick Burns on me.
3. @BusinessWife for starting this thread and being an example of strength. 4. All of my internet friends. You have taught me so, so much and have been there with kind words, empathy, and jokes all along the way. I really do think of you guys when I hit the hard things and draw strength from you. Each night when I go to bed, I lie there and hold you all in my heart. (AKA, my style of prayer.)
5. GIFS. It would be nice to be able to gif from mobile! How lovely it was to have it when we did.
6. I probably use this one often but Thai takeout. Whenever I see a debate about tipping on takeout, I always say yes, at least a buck or two because usually I'm picking up takeout because I need someone to take care of me and I appreciate them doing it. 7. Acupuncture. 8. My friends for loaning me their fertility frog (her mom is an energy healer and brought it when they were TTC, it's a big bigger than a bowling ball and heavier cement frog who now lives in my hallway) and the little fertility bunny figurines that her mom brought, too. They stay on my dresser. 9. The sun is out today and it's gorgeous. 10. A meeting I was dreading ended up being only about 7 minutes. Hallelujah. Can't stand one of the guys in it. Last week he was busy treating me like crap (I'm not generally a tattle-tale type and I forwarded the email from him to my manager and was pretty much, WTF am I supposed to do with this guy). This week he was kissing my butt and trying to butter me up. Dude. It doesn't work that way. 11. @sunniegrly is right. Cheese. 12. Meeting H for dinner after acupuncture.
@Aurora1973 That gif... I may or may not have burst into tears.

@vflux33 you could always just start with a couple and come back to edit when you think of more! ;)
@kiki75 ❤ for days, lady. I am so hopeful for you this cycle and fx all your lucky bunnies and Mr. Fertility Frog work their magic! :D
@50Wife. SO glad your H is on his way home, too! Oof, that one hit me right in the feels, for reals. I know your gonna hig him extra-tight when he walks through that door!
@smorzandoj. Ooh! 6 flags sounds like a real blast!
@50Wife OH is in construction, and while he's not doing the physical job (he's a management guy), job sites are inherently dangerous. I hug him extra hard after someone gets hurt (or killed) on a site, too. So glad your husband is safe, and so sorry for the officer that lost their life.

1. MH. Just everything about him. 2. My mom went through IF and talking with her helps so much. Technology has changed a lot, but she "gets" it. 3. This community. 4. I love where I live more every year. 5. Should get MH's DNA results within a week and be able to make decisions about next cycle soon. 6. My mom said that for my birthday next month she is going to give me this giant fake cupcake we had in our kitchen when I was a kid and MH is going to hate it but I don't care because it's fucking awesome. 7. Well, if we can count cheese, then cheese (obviously). 8. Well, if dogs count, then cats (obviously). 9. Dogs are cool too. Don't want to exclude dogs. 10. I made it to 10 so I guess I'm not heartless and ungrateful after all!
1. Got to do a new escape room yesterday and I had sooooo much fun! It's hard getting a babysitter sometimes but so worth it when I do 2. One of my craaazzzyyyy students told me he loved me today and I was his favorite teacher. Hit me right in the feels. 3. I love having Disney passes. Disney washes away all the bad stuff 4. My son learned to hold up "one" today! 5. My husband gets a big commission tomorrow. finally. 6. My contract was renewed at my school. 7. Tacos. 8.

1. This if the 4th night in a row my H has given me a back rub. I am spoiled. 2. I also have not had to cook in several days. I am really spoiled. 3. Workloads are being shifted at work so I don't have to work so much overtime. 4. My grandma brought homemade cookies over for me today. 5. Acupuncture last night was very relaxing. 6. I have this really good-smelling candle I have been loving burning lately. 7. We have a ton of pretty flowers blooming all around the house. 8. I've been feeling more motivation to exercise lately. 9. Summer footwear - bare those toes! 10. Finding this board has been so helpful for me. You ladies are awesome.
@antoto I can't wait for GoT! @kiki75 I like your style of prayer.
@BusinessWife Sword and Scale and Up and Vanished for the true crime fix, loved S-Town (great meditation on how isolated someone can become when they cannot, for various reasons, have love in their life. And a great tribute to someone who was a wonderful man), and I always listen to Bitch Sesh because it's funny
Re: Ten Things... Wednesday? 4.26
