Yay And Boo!!
Hello ladies, it seems like its been a while. I have been having a few rough days lately and have just been keeping low. Hope everyone is having a good week and is ready for Christmas!!
Yay: My iPhone was acting up and took it to the apple store and they swapped it out no questions asked, it was awesome! Lol!! We got two weeks off school so that's really good! I finally decided to just buy my husband new shoes and cologne and other little things (nothing to exciting).
Boo: My AF decided to show her ugly face!! DH and I have been arguing a lot, I thinks its AF's fault, I get super emotional and angry 
. I am 25% done Christmas shopping, (that's bad I know)!! I also am not sure if we should buy my sisters new boy toy something for Christmas since DH and him had an argument.
How are my ML people doing? Any yays and boos?
Re: Yay And Boo!!
Yay: I'm super excited for Christmas and it's only a week away now.
Boo: I got my third urinalysis result in the last three months back yesterday and they still don't know what's wrong with me! No bacteria shows up, only white blood cells....I've been having bladder issues since September...so now I guess it's time to see a urologist. Even the last time (last month) when I was peeing blood and in a lot of pain, it still didn't show a UTI. Sorry for the TMI, I'm just frustrated.
I wouldn't get him a gift. I don't get my siblings SO's gifts unless it is a together gift. For example, last year I gave each of H's siblings a gift card to a local restaurant. So the gift ended up being for both his siblings and their SO's. So unless that is what you end up doing, I wouldn't worry about it.
Also, I'm really sorry about AF, she's a b*****.
I'm just glad you are feeling a little better now. I know 2013 is going to be your year.
Yay: I successful completed last semester with good grades. I also had a really good work review, although I quit right before finals because I was getting worn down. I may apply for the company's leadership program after I graduate. Also yay, I am almost finished addressing my Christmas cards. And, I will be doing an internship next semester. I am a little nervous about it because I am not sure what to expect, but hopefully it will be a positive and informative experience.
Boo: Money will be tight for a while since I quit my job. My husband said he preferred I stay focused on my classes. The internship next semester is unpaid as well but I am hoping it will give me the experience I need to get more work in my field of interest. Another boo, I was told I would be graduating in May but turns out my advisor was mistaken. I will instead finish in December of next yr.
At the ML that was talking about the UTI situation, if you were ;peeing blood, is it possible that you had/or perhaps still have a kidney infection? Do you feel back pain? If you ball up your fists and put them behind you, I believe that is where the kidneys are. If they are hurting then try drinking a whole bottle of Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice within a day or two. This should help clean bacteria out of the kidneys. I used to be prone to infections of that nature.
Get him a calendar haha cheap and everyone needs one.
TTC 19 months ~Started RE in March 2014~
DH was not ready for IUI so we waited
~Started acupuncture in May 2014~

I don't want to scare you but, my boss had this once and there was an infection in her Kidney and she ended up with stones. She also just started bleeding again but went on antibiotics and it stopped. You MUST schedule an appt with a urologist. Especially since you are TTC.

Yay: I'm o'ing this week so DH and I are having lot of baby making fun. I am all ready to Christmas we just wrapped the last gifts last night. Also, I get to spend the whole weekend with my sister, nephew and BIL.
Boo: My nephew is sick probably with pneumonia, he is on meds so I hope he is feeling better by Saturday. I have a cold, but I'm taking mucinex. DH and I really wanted to turn out car in this week and found out we can't get the price we want so we have to wait.

Yay: Tomorrow starts my 6 day christmas break from work! Also, H and I bought a new mattress and its being delivered Friday so I'm super excited about that too!
Boo: I get to work today to find that they have blocked off the parking deck again for only those employees who were lucky enough to get spaces in the deck. (Theres 3 additional floors of spaces that no one pays for and that's where a bunch of us had been parking). This is the only county in this state that makes its employees pay for parking..ugh.
Yay: Jan 1st is getting closer and closer!!! I won tickets to Disney World on the radio last week and surprised DH with them. We are planning on waiting for our anniversary (in May) to use them. Now we just need to agree on what parks to go to! I want to go to Epcot and Animal Kingdom (I've never been to AK) and he wants to go to Magic Kingdom and MGM. Ugh!
Boo: Work is NUTSO right now! I can't wait till Jan 1- because then we can all breathe a sigh of relief and stop running around like crazy. Also, Boo because DH and I STILL haven't found a house. Correction: we have found 11 awesome houses, but all of them have fallen through for one reason or another. And our loan is about to expire! Grrrrr!!!
Ugh! Mine too. On top of work stress, trying to buy a house, and my kitty still not healing up from her declaw, I am an emotional wreck right now. Poor DH!
OMG MEE TOO!!! AF really puts a damper on my attitude! I feel terrible, I blew up at my husband.
Yay: I'm quitting my job!!! I hate my boss and it feels so good!!!
Boo: My washer broke!
And I started new medication. That new medicine is messin with my hormones. Christmas shopping is almost all done!
I am meeting with my OBGYN today to make sure it's not related to my endometriosis, and if it's not then I will make an appointment with the urologist. I definitely don't want to be dealing with infections while being pregnant.
The back pain I do have it all lower back, toward the L5-S1 area, and I've had that for a while. I've noticed twinges in my side hear and there, but nothing obvious in the area where the kidneys are. I have an appointment today with my OBGYN to talk to her about whether or not its related to my endometriosis. So we will see. In the meantime I am drinking plenty of water.
Yay: This hellacious work week is halfway over, I'm getting my hair done tonight, and the hubs gave me an early christmas present yesterday which was a new digital camera! He wanted me to have it before Christmas so I could take pictures. Such a sweetie!
Boo: Some major pms'ing going on in with an emotional weekend and then a super stressful Monday.
I hope all of you wonderful ladies have a merry christmas with your DHs, families and friends!!
My MIL has a rule that the family has adopted to fit a lot of different scenarios: You don't get a stocking until it's your 3rd Christmas as a couple. If this guy is not someone you see being around next Christmas or even in a few months, don't get him anything. It's not like it will hurt the dynamic of the family. However, if you see them together down the road but simply don't like him, suck it up and get him something cheap. Like a PP said, you could do a couples gift like a gift card for dinner so you're really getting it for your sister.
Yay: Only 2 more days of school before break!! Then it's back to WI where I'm going to see the GB Packers play at Lambeau!!! (yeah, it's a lot of exclamation points)
Boo: My students have been out of control and it's exhausting. I wish homeroom teachers wouldn't have holiday parties immediately before sending their kids to music. Chances are I don't want to deal with their sugar induced craze any more than you do... so don't complain that they are watching movies.
Its not that I don't want to get him something its just like I said her new boy toy, she has new boy toys every 3-4 months and falls " in love" with all of them. I'm just annoyed of her having new guys every few months. ( I sound mad I'm just annoyed dam PMS)
Either way, I think the GC is a good idea or maybe just a cheap wallet
LOL!
@Littlemisswitness and @Bridget
Yeah, DH and I had a huge fight the other day and then later I just want to cry and cuddle haha, poor DH's.
I'm sorry about your nephew, I hope he feels much better soon! On another note, enjoy the baby making fun
Yay: My husband just called me to tell me he got the job he has been applying for and he starts right after the holidays, so I will not have to come home and here how bad his days was again lol.
Boo:I have to work Chrismas eve. and Christmas so I want be able to spend the whole day with my hun:( but I'm off for six days after next thursday so i get to bring in the new year right with my new hubby!!!
Yay: I had Monday off and got most of my shopping done, the mall wasn't too busy and I even got a Pink sweatshirt for myself for $15 with all the coupons I had. Saturday I already have plans to go out with my girlfriend, I hope she's ready to go crazy because I need it.
Boo: All month it been super busy at work and I've been of the mindset that all I have to do is get through the month. I forgot that January will be even busier. Boooo.
