WAYDTGKU: NTNPish
R/R: Happy Friday Ladies!! 🎉 We have almost made it to the weekend! So, we didn’t get our roof done yesterday. They delivered all the materials and said the guys were on their way...got a call 3 hours later that they were delayed on the previous job and it would be done in the morning. Waiting on the call to see if that is actually going to happen! Now we really can’t wait for this to be over and done with and hopefully not have to worry about a roof repair/replacement for a very long time!! We are lucky this is just a job that we wanted to get done and didn’t need done immediately because of a leak or anything...just need to look on the bright side!
CS/Q: None, not tracking the rest of the cycle.

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP
R/R: I got lots of kitty cuddles last night. I'm so happy to have my little guy home. His brother was super weird sound him though and was hissing and growling when he was close. I guess that's normal because they can sense different behavior and smell the vet's office. Hopefully he's less aggravated today. The food the vets want me to feed him is CRAZY expensive. I'm trying to find an affordable alternative but in the meantime am giving wet food everyday.

WAYDTGKU: OPKs, Tracking CM
R/R: We finally DTD last night and OPKs are still negative so we are in the game for this cycle haha. Yesterday afternoon on my walk I saw some teenagers....not practicing social distancing. There’s a private school near us and I was walking through just for something different and saw them in a car. I practically ran away. I guess though if your parents are always home you need to be creative? But so awkward.
@gingermama29. Such a sweet boy. Hopefully brother will get over it and start being nice. Could he be jealous over attention?
@bows22 Yay for DTD and negative OPKs. When I was in the cross country team in high school, we ran the trails and then cut through the back packing lot to get to the front of the school. That way had the big hill, so we were practicing hills. We saw two adults not practicing social distancing. We were like thirty high school students are running by right now! Coach had to go have a conversation with them. I imagine it must be difficult stuck in your house with your family and not seeing your gf/bf.
Month/Cycle: 9/9

WAYDTGKU: NTNP and all the things to pee on are packed. But new king bed delivered?
R/R: My mom created a competition for our family. You get points for doing certain activities (exercise, cleaning, being outside etc). There is one for our nuclear family and then for all the cousins. At the end of the week, there is a drawing for an Amazon gift card. Should be pretty fun.
My sister is immunocompromised and terrified to leave her house. So my mom has a dance party with her everyday and they alternate who gets to pick the song. Mom picked Baby Got Back yesterday and didn't realize how adult that song is!! I was like Mom have you listened to the song?
Month/Cycle: 18/15

WAYDTGKU: NTNP
R/R: I'm in such a great mood right now and I hope nothing ruins it!! Just sitting here working with the kitchen window open, birds chirping, sun shining and a smile on my face! Can't beat that!
The landscaping in the yard is mostly done and it looks so much better! Nice and clean and put together. We did a lot of top soil in one part of the yard that was a muddy mess and just missing grass, so hopefully some grass will grow soon! Lola is not happy about being kept out of that area though....

R/R: I’m also in a really good mood today! Yay for Friday! Also we finally had some sun yesterday. I’m bummed it’s cloudy today but we should get to the mid 50’s so I’m really excited about that! Snow is predicted for Sunday though of course haha
We go under major lockdown down for two weeks tonight at midnight so I’m braving Target to get the few things we need like soap.... I was sure we had more but of course not. Looking forward to getting that done though so I can just focus on being home and enjoying family time.
CS/Q: finally got a darker OPK not positive yet. Has to be As dark as control to be positive right?
@dobiemom11 I think he just smells different after the vet. That family competition sounds so cool. What a great idea!
@kpearse99 sounds like a great morning! Your yard looks great!
@allthingscozy good luck with Target tonight. Glad your OPKs are starting to get darker.

R/R: Happy Friday Ladies! I got one more day after this of work and then I’m off till Tuesday. can’t wait to do nothing all weekend lol. I’m not leaving my house. Still Fighting these headaches unfortunately:( I don’t see an end in sight any time. I’ve been taking Tylenol but it only helps take the edge off for a short period and then it comes back. Also, I’m sooo exhausted everyday. I’m not even KU and I feel so tired all the time. . Some days I feel like falling asleep at work.
CS/Q: None
I’ll come back and post to everyone. I’m on short time right now.
@gingermama29 your kitty is so adorable! Is the food they want him on to help prevent the kidney stones? Is there maybe another brand that has the same function with a less expensive price?
@bows22 all I can think about since you said you're still in the game is High School Musical lol
@dobiemom11 you might be interested in Taskmasters with the little competition your family is doing. Glad you guys are doing some fun things to pass time through this mess!
@kpearse99 Lola be like "what the F is this fence?" haha I love your garden area there. Is that black mulch?
@allthingscozy good luck finding soap. There's very little soap left on the shelves when I go shopping. Thankfully I bought a refill jug a few weeks ago not realizing I already had an unopened refill so I am well stocked.

WAYDTGKU: HIO with Conceive Plus, PNV, other supplements, GF and DF diet
R/R: yooo Conceive Plus is fantastic!! DH was feeling frisky last night even though I'm sick. Felt very natural
. Also it's just so much easier having the flip cap instead of the screw on cap. That's one thing I always hated about Preseed is putting the cap back on before we got down to business. Takes way too long for my liking. Flip cap though, I can just slap that down on the nightstand and it's closed.
CS/Q: Temp is way up from being sick so, eh.

@gingermama29 I'm glad your kitty is doing well! We have two inside cats and one of them got outside and was gone for a couple days. When he came back, my other kitty was pretty aggressive and it took him a couple days to realize that this was his friend. He should start to calm down soon once the normal smells come back.
@bows22 yay for being in the game!! And oh man how awkward. It makes me glad that I don't have to sneak around to have sex like that.
@dobiemom11 What a fun and creative way to keep everyone motivated during this crazy time. I love that idea! and to have dance parties too. You guys sound like a fun family.
@kpearse99 So jealous that you can have your windows open while you work. That sounds so nice! It's still ridiculously cold here (ok not as cold as other places, but really cold for me). If I opened the windows, I'd just get cold and annoyed with the turkey next door. The snow is melting so he's back out in the yard and driving our whole household crazy!
@allthingscozy Yay for some sun!! We finally had some sun yesterday and were able to take the dogs for a walk. It's supposed to snow again in a couple days too. I'm so ready for spring/summer!
@mindyb2019 I'm sorry you're still dealing with the headaches. If you can take ibuprofen and are ok with caffeine, I recommend Excedrin Migraine. It usually helps my migraines. I hope you can get some relief soon! Do you know what's causing the headaches?
@inthewoods23 Sometimes it's the little things in life like that. lol Yay for the Conceive Plus working out well! And boo for being sick. Hope you feel better soon!

WAYDTGKU: releasing the kraken, peeing on things
R/R: Negative OPK this morning again, but I did notice some EWCM so maybe things are finally starting to get going??? It's the middle of H's workweek which makes it a little bit harder to actually have sex. He works nights and is gone from 430 pm until 3 am, on call until 5 am, and then sleeps until about 1 pm. So we really only have a couple hours to fit it in and be in the mood. Hopefully we can fit it in today!
Another rave, my sister in law and I are having a FaceTime coffee date today and a puppy birthday party for both of our dogs who share a birthday today! My yorkie mix Posey is 6! We've had him since he was nine weeks old and he's my little shadow following me everywhere. We also invited a mutual friend to join since today is her brithday. I'm excited to get some social interaction!

@kpearse99 the look on lola’s face 😂 she is not impressed! I hope your good mood continues through the day and that you have a great weekend!
@allthingscozy yay for a successful target trip! I’m glad you are in a great mood today. Also don’t stress too much about when you are going to ovulate, it will happen!
@mindyb2019 i hope some time away from work helps your headache!
@inthewoods23 ugh I hope you feel better soon! Glad you were still able to have sex though haha. That gif is great, I need to sing that song to myself to remember it’s FW time!
@linzrunz oh my gosh I love the puppy birthday party!! Have fun!
@gingermama29 aww soo cute. yay to kitty cuddles. I’m sorry the food from the vet is sooo expensive. FX that you can find an alternative soon. Glad your little guy is doing ok.
@dobiemom11 That’s awesome that your mom started this points game. Sounds so fun. What a good way to keep busy through all this. Haha baby got back 😂 awesome song. I was listening to that the other day at work too.
@bluetickgal part of our repair was adding ventilation as well. Our house is 50 years old so of course things aren't really up to today's standards. We only had 3 vents on one side of the house. It's in the direction most wind comes from, but considering the size of our house it probably does squat for cooling the attic space
@bows22 I am doing a lot better today! Still achy and it hurts a little behind the eyes, but I'm fully functional and feel good. No issues with eating lunch and my repeat temping throughout today has been around 97.
@linzrunz puppy birthday party sounds so fun!!! Will they be wearing fun party hats? haha
@allthingscozy many of our stores here that are normally 24hrs have cut their hours to 8am-10pm. They still work overnight though because that's when they restock the shelves. I could probably easily find beef and chicken if I would just go when they open.

@inthewoods23 we had the same issue...the whole back of our house only has 3 box vents, they switched it to a ridge vent which goes along the whole thing and should be so much more effective! DH said the attic is a sauna when he’s been up there in the summer, so hopefully it’ll be much better now!
@kpearse99 @inthewoods23 add us to the black mulch club too...I think it looks so much better! @kpearse99 your landscaping looks so good!

@dobiemom11 i imagined you had at least one doberman and i love them!!!
and on subject of doggie daycare (for which i am a huge advocate), i havent brought my dogs to daycare in 2 weeks (normally they go once a week) and you can tell they need it. my daycare does photoshoots for birthdays and for holidays. so for halloween you bring their costumes and they dress them, birthdays they do hats and backdrop, and valentines day they dress them up in all vday garb. pics in spoiler
side note, i could look at puppy pics all day--has TTGP done a thread for these ever? might be fun to lift everyones spirits. i remember my old BMB did like Furry Fridays or something.
DH wanted to get a dobie more than anything but a lot of the rescues we were working with wouldn't adopt one to us because we have two cats as well and they were concerned about the prey drive. but we love them, such beautiful dogs!

and yes you have to protect the kitty at that age! we have two cats (they're both turning 8 this year) so they were still young when we adopted each dog. however, they do NOT co-mingle at all. the dogs are super hyper and want to play but the cats are super tiny and i think intimidated by their size. So the cats have their own room in the house and lots of perches throughout the rest to watch from above out of reach
