I LOVE TurboTax! We'll have our taxes filed tomorrow!
Oh, and I bought the Money Makeover book and will start reading it this weekend. I am so excited.
Dx: PCOS and short luteal phase
18 cycles (3 with our RE) - Metformin + Clomid + HCG booster did the trick!

I have broken out in a rash all over my boobs and stomach. There is no way to scratch your boobs in public and there's no way to scratch some parts of your boobs at all.
That is REALLY neat! I have always wished we could meet some of the people my dad's organs were donated to. That is so special for both families!
I need everyone to say a little prayer for my mom... and quite frankly, for me. It's really too much to type out. I promise, God will know exactly what you're talking about. I am trying to be thankful for the fact that she is here with us and has fought this cancer a long time, but I have reached a point of overall frustration with the whole situation today, and it's all I can do to keep myself from punching bleeping holes in the sheetrock of my house.
Thank you, in advance. There are just some really hard days. This is one of them.

Bootsy ~ that is AMAZING. I'm with Kasey; I wish that I could meet the people who got my dad's organs (he was able to donate two). That is so neat! I always think of it like two pieces of my daddy are LITERALLY still on this earth
Kasey ~ prayers for you, my friend. I was thinking about you the other day and how strong you are to have lost your dad, then have to go through this with your mom. I cannot imagine what you're going through, but please know that you will be prayed for.
First - Prayers for you Jax!! (and hugs)
Second - Thank you to everyone for your prayers. You guys are amazing and I am so happy for them!
My say anything is that when I started getting ready for this journey (my surgery) I was told by others who had gone through this that I should be prepared to lose people along the way (that they would stop being there for me). I knew it would happen, but didn't realize it would happen 1-2 weeks post op??? My "bff" didn't come visit me in the hospital (I was there for 3 days) or even at home and has not given me a reason for it. I am really sad about this. I know I shouldn't be sad about it because I have other wonderful people (my sister and other bff) but she is like a sister to me as well. IDK...
It's been a rough couple of weeks at the day job...I ditto... job hunting sucks big time!!! I am the lowest paid employee in HR and I mean low...
Definitely thinking of having a shot of something or a few shots of something but I know DH will try to convince me otherwise since it's not an "off" day.
AF is on her way so I'm so flippin irritated.
is it possible she isn't sure if you're up for visitors? could you call and see if she can come by?

Wow - this is going to be awesome. It's going to be an emotional day!
I am just bummed overall this week about possibly having to start searching for a job AGAIN if I get laid off, my sis and her poor sweet kitty.
I have such a wonderful life but I just can't seem to shake this feeling:(
Jax...sorry about your mom. Hugs.
I can't find maternity pants that fit me, I have literally one pair of jeans that fit. I'm in between sizes so the smaller size makes me look like a sausage and the bigger size makes me look like I'm wearing DH's pants. I wish it was warm enough to wear dresses. That would make my life so much easier.
I also have a cold sore, I assume from being sick last week and the stress of this week combined. DH is totally stoked to come home after being gone a week and kiss his wife on the cheek because she has herpes on her face. Awesome.

my awesome nephew (the one who was rick astley for halloween) rocks. He took his belt test in karate to move up to the next belt. When the instructor called each kid up he just presented each their belt. But when he got to my nephew he said, "my mom always taught me that the most important thing was to be a gentleman. If this next kid was my mom's son she would have been very proud." then gave him his belt. He's an unusual, sensitive, shy kid, so it was pretty awesome to have someone recognize him outloud.
I don't mean sensitive like hurt easily, but like one time he accidentally hurt Addie (tripped over her or something) and he cried he felt so bad instead of just saying, oops sorry kid, like most people would.
someone on the entertainment board asked if anyone saw one for the money and said no spoilers. It's taken a bit of self control not to type that no katherine heigl movie needs spoilers. it's a 3 step process. 1. she'll be upight. 2. there will be tension with the male character. 3. she'll relax a smidge and they'll end up together.
ta da! I've summed up every movie she's been in and every one she's complained about later.
Ha! So very true!
Ditto Jax - I almost never go visit people in the hospital. I figure they want space, already have family, etc. Also, some people just don't like hospitals.
Call her and see if she wants to come over. I wouldn't read to much into her not coming to the hospital.
Jax - sending you lots of hugs, prayers, patience, deep breaths, etc. HUGS!
Prayers for You and your mom, Jax! cancer sucks.
Im hoping two funerals in January is no indication of what's to come for us this year.
Are they cotton? They may shrink in the dryer?
