We're out of wine. And there's a hole in the crotch of my favorite pair of lounge pants. Am I the only one that gets weird emotional attachments to my lounge pants? It's probably because I change into them the second I walk in the door. I never wear real grown up clothes at home.
@offtoneverland, I too change into lounge pants as soon as I walk in the door. Sadly, a crotch hole doesn't stop we from wearing them. We are out of good wine and I told myself I wasn't buying any until the bottles I don't love get drank, so whiskey sours it is!
@SkilledSailor, sorry you are bloated, and I am certain clomid is not only making you bloated, but isn't helping you emotionally with it either. I am certain you look great!
I am crying because my parents' barn cat keeps sneaking in the house (we live here temporarily while looking for something new) and I keep having to put him out. I feel so bad, especially because he sees my cats in here and not being put our. We decided he is going to be allowed to stay, but he needs flea treatment and shots first.
Because my mil saw our stockings (the same number I’ve been hanging since we’ve had this house for decor purposes) and asked “does that mean I get two more grand babies?”
Meanwhile, hubs has decided against wanting to try anytime soon if ever (TW: I had terrible untreated port partum, end TW***) and even if he was on board, and have some health stuff that just won’t get under control.
@SkilledSailor Oh, girl! I have no doubt your H thinks you look super good! @holly321 I am a sucker for cats. Let all the little kitties inside!! @offtoneverland I am with @holly321. A hole never stopped me from wearing the pants! @spottedginger All of the Hugs.
Let’s see.... *H forgot to bring me lunch when he said he would. *He told me to eat something I’m allergic to. *My parents both wished MH happy birthday today. Spoiler alert: today is not his birthday. *My parents had a shitty response to me telling them about the RE. *MH’s parents responded exactly as expected. *I want to be eating chocolate but chocolate does not sound good. *I had to unwrap a present bc I couldn’t remember who it was for & hadn’t put a a tag on it yet. *I was thinking about the time my kitty at escaped & ran away. *I am dreading bed because I get cold then hot.
......clearly my medication level should be adjusted if I wasn’t TTGP
Today has been crappy...started with waking up way too early for a Sunday, then my computer randomly shutting down and losing 2 hours of work on my project which is due tomorrow, and then DH and I got into a stupid fight. I know they are all simple things that I should not get so worked up about but I did. I’m just over today... @offtoneverland wear the pants, and send DH out for more wine @spottedginger sorry, hugs to you and hope you can get on the same page
@SkilledSailor I’m on an alcohol ban for medical reasons . (Though I had one very small glass yesterday!). And I can’t do dairy. So no ice cream, either. Boooo, JRM’s body. #PityPartyofME
@jrm_14 I don’t eat much dairy. There are lots of dairy free ice creams that are yummy. Ben & Jerry’s has a few flavors now. I also like Nada Moo’s vanilla and birthday cake flavors. My mom likes So Delicious but I personally find it too nutty and not as smooth.
Having to read through and sign IVF paperwork and make decisions I never thought I would have to make.
Working third shift and never ever ever getting enough sleep.
Having to wake up at 6am tomorrow for a 7am ultrasound after being awake almost 27 hours and only sleeping maybe five hours tonight.

@BusinessWife - I feel you on the laundry. We're looking for a new house and I want the laundry room on the same floor as the bedrooms. They just don't do it often for flooding reasons.... but I'll take my chances! I make DH bring down our laundry, but I hate hauling it all back up.
DH posted a photo series on Facebook last night of our older cat trying to enjoy a box, and the little cat following him into it to annoy him. He said the older cat is going to get middle child syndrome. This asshole girl he's friends with went on a rant about how cats aren't really children and we need to have real kid and there's something wrong with people who refer to their cats as their kids (she was also super anti-cat which does not make me like her any more).
I cried for a bit, but now I just want to fight her.
Me: 28 DH: 29 Married: 6/2016 TTC #1: 12/2016 Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
@jsnakehole Well I think there's something wrong with people who feel the need to go out of their way to be giant a**holes on Facebook. I don't usually condone violence... but yeah, you should fight her.
AFM... I stepped on the scale. I think I'm just going to throw the damn thing out.
@holly321 - I would cry too! I love cats. I take care of the strays (we have a colony of neutered-and-released kitties in my neighborhood that are just outdoor cats) but if any of them tried to get in my house it would break my heart to refuse them. Can you make him a little house outside? There are DIY videos on how to make a warm, cozy house for an outdoor cat so they can have a place to go if you can't let them in. I already have 3 geezer animals at home and I know they wouldn't be happy if we brought in a 4th
@BusinessWife - I feel ya on the cheesecake! I love dessert. I went to a work dinner last night and while I do not enjoy making small talk, I very much enjoyed the catering. We had the most delicious tiramisu ever. I tried to make it myself once but failed really hard because I used shortbread instead of lady fingers. I'll figure it out one day. I have goals to learn excellent Italian cooking.
@jsnakehole - what a C U Next Tuesday! I hate sanctimonious women who rant against couples with pets. My pets are my family. They're a rotten and decrepit lot but I still love them. I don't trust people who don't have pets. They bring so much joy. And I'll never understand how people can hate cats. They're so lovable and playful and so sweet when they sleep on your chest. Cat purrs make everything better for me.
I'm crying due to my intense PMS which is conflicting with my health goals. I have a severe case of tender-tits and perpetual cravings that I cannot satisfy. And bloating. And pre-cramps which while not as awful as real cramps still distract me. My skin's okay, though, because it's winter and the large amount of oil my skin makes during this time is helping a lot with the dryness I normally experience. Hope is on the horizon - my students are doing a dine-and-donate at my favorite pizza joint and I am really excited to participate tonight.
I feel like everything is making me cry... but on a lighter side - mine are all about icecream, lol I wanted a reeses peanut butter cup cheesecake Blizzard and DH wouldn't stop for one. That was Friday and I'm still upset about it. Then yesterday ib ordered a mint chocolate chip cone and the guy gave me peppermint.. still good, I like peppermint but it's not what I ordered... I didn't say anything but I had a moment.
jsnakehole Ugh... I would've posted some things back to that biotche! Of course, I have a dog so I probably would've included something about how my dog is more well behaved than her kids or something... but I tend to give zero F's about horrid people anymore!

I’m crying because i just ate a Twix and now i want more @BusinessWife I too am crying that I did about 6 loads of laundry but mine are in the car because our washer broke and I had to go to my moms to do them and now I have to bring them in the house. im crying Bc I feel Like I’ve been PMSing for a week and CD1 has yet to start. im crying Bc my new nurse still hasn’t called me today. @galactickates omg peanut butter cup cheesecake blizzard ?!? I didn’t even know that existed! MIND BLOWN! @jsnakehole WHERE IS SHE?!?! We’ll all kick her as*!!
@BusinessWife I currently cant get to my washer or dryer in the basement because there are to many piles of clean and dirty laundry down there. I keep hoping a little elf will put it away.
Crying because I noticed I don't even type "TWW" anymore when checking in... I just go from "WTO" straight to "WFAF" because that's how much hope I have anymore. Pathetic.

@galactickates I am so making H go to DQ tonight and get one for me.. I’ll tell him I’m cranky and PMSing and if he doesn’t come home with that then don’t come Home at all! Too dramatic??
@SkilledSailor oh i'm sure you look great in the lingerie--but that sucks stupid clomid. @offtoneverland i agree i don't wear real close at home--or a bra. that's off right after my jacket. @holly321 oh sad, poor cat, glad he can come in soon. @spottedginger ((hugs)) @jrm_14 i'm sorry for all the listed. @nmbrcrnchr1 i hope today is better @KariAnn323 ugh, people are so stupid sometimes--why don't you keep opinions to yourself unless you can reference a study. @SkilledSailor and @jrm_14 do you eat tofutti "icecream sandwhiches"? very yummy and diary free. @shortstack930 wishing you lots of sleep @galactick@BusinessWife Sunday laundry day is great but sucky at the same way. @jsnakehole what a jerk--i want to fight her too. @zamora_spin ((hugs)) @Spylon ditto @wishiwaspreggo enjoy that pizza
i'm crying because MH went to a movie without me -->which then of course went to a fight because why? why would you do that it's just rude. sure leave me at home to do laundry and clean and you go to a movie alone. (totally just my side of the story but i'm sticking with it!)
I'm crying because my boobs hurt and I'm still in WFAF but spotting. CD1 tomorrow? Maybe? Hopefully. There's a few other reasons, but primarily I'm crying because I'm a moody bitch and MH can suck my lady balls and deal with it. Sorry, not sorry.

@blackhottamales I can see where you’d be upset. I’d be extra upset if he didn’t bring me popcorn! However, I am sending Mh to the movies tomorrow without me. I cannot sit through another superhero movie pretending not to pay $$$ to nap.
@businesswife YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. I had no idea non-dairy ice cream has evolved into delicious goodness. (See picture In spoiler)
I’m crying as the supermarket didn’t have my gluten and lactose free pizza for the third week in a row :-(
@jrm_14@businesswife I tried to find this in Germany for months, but read this before coming home earlier, swung by the supermarket, had a short chat (in german) at the managers counter and hey presto he is ordering some for next weekend for me to pick up Saturday :-) So now I’m smiling through my pizza tears. He can’t get the pizza unfortunately as it’s out of stock.
maybe its an early FFFC... but I think I have an obsession with ice cream these past few weeks!
@jsnakehole she’s doesn’t stand a chance against the TTGP army! What a bi-at-ch...

@emmasemm It won’t disappoint!!!! What flavor is he ordering? Sorry about your pizza @blackhottamales I haven’t heard if those ice cream sandwiches. I’ll have to look for them (if you can pry the ben&jerry’s from my hands)!
@galactickates@ndz2018 and anyone else interested in blizzards -- I used to work at DQ in high school. You can make any kind of blizzard combination you want to, not just what's on the menu! I had to make some crazy weird combos...coffee and strawberries? Nerds and chocolate? Mint with fruit? You got it!
@offtoneverland - one of my best friends worked there for forever, and that's how I learned that. I used to get gigantic ice cream cakes for my birthday every year for like $12 because she would hook it up, and they'd have my picture on them lol Eta- she also taught me about mint Oreo blizzards, and peanut buster parfait blizzards. I had the inside scoop
I'm crying because I wanted to get to the gym tonight but have the worst stomach ache. I'm trying so hard to be healthy during this process but my body always seems to sabotage.

Re: Why My TTGP Self is Crying
We're out of wine. And there's a hole in the crotch of my favorite pair of lounge pants. Am I the only one that gets weird emotional attachments to my lounge pants? It's probably because I change into them the second I walk in the door. I never wear real grown up clothes at home.

im crying Bc I feel Like I’ve been PMSing for a week and CD1 has yet to start.
im crying Bc my new nurse still hasn’t called me today.

@offtoneverland i agree i don't wear real close at home--or a bra. that's off right after my jacket.
@holly321 oh sad, poor cat, glad he can come in soon.
@spottedginger ((hugs))
@jrm_14 i'm sorry for all the listed.
@nmbrcrnchr1 i hope today is better
@KariAnn323 ugh, people are so stupid sometimes--why don't you keep opinions to yourself unless you can reference a study.
@SkilledSailor and @jrm_14 do you eat tofutti "icecream sandwhiches"? very yummy and diary free.
@shortstack930 wishing you lots of sleep
@galactick @BusinessWife Sunday laundry day is great but sucky at the same way.
@jsnakehole what a jerk--i want to fight her too.
@zamora_spin ((hugs))
@Spylon ditto
@wishiwaspreggo enjoy that pizza
i'm crying because MH went to a movie without me -->which then of course went to a fight because why? why would you do that it's just rude. sure leave me at home to do laundry and clean and you go to a movie alone. (totally just my side of the story but i'm sticking with it!)

@businesswife YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE. I had no idea non-dairy ice cream has evolved into delicious goodness. (See picture In spoiler)
@jrm_14 @businesswife I tried to find this in Germany for months, but read this before coming home earlier, swung by the supermarket, had a short chat (in german) at the managers counter and hey presto he is ordering some for next weekend for me to pick up Saturday :-) So now I’m smiling through my pizza tears. He can’t get the pizza unfortunately as it’s out of stock.
