Kudos, Confessions and KUP updates
Kudos - I just gave myself my shot. It went fine and there were only minimal tears and curse words. Fortunately the next two days of this IUI stuff are the easiest part. I had to laugh as I was doing it though because I started thinking of how worried I was before the wedding of getting knocked up before we were married. Had I known how hard this was going to be I could have save myself a lot of worrying.
Confessions - I had a breakfast meeting with some people of an organization that I volunteer for. I was in a rush to leave because I was late for work. When I got to my car I realized I was still holding my cup of water from the restaurant. Instead of returning it I just put it in the cup holder in my car because I was running so late. So I stole a restaurant plastic cup this morning.
KUP updates - My dog, Sam, if feeling better. After talking to DH more we think we got a bad bag of dog food. We stopped feeding it to him and just gave him some eggs and cottage cheese and he hasn't thrown up once in the last two days. Keeping fingers crossed that is it.
Your turn.....
Re: Kudos, Confessions and KUP updates
Kudos- to you for shot giving!!! To me for selling 2 items on eBay.
Confessions- I stopped and got a biscuit this morning on my way into work @ 5:30 this morning. But DH had a honey bun, because I was not there to cook breakfast for him(he can't cook anything). I feel bad I got a good breakfast and he did not. But then again he does love honey buns. So I guess he didn't suffer.
KUP updates- Well Daddy's dizzy spells are better after he could stop taking some of his meds.
And well I haven't said anything cause I'm hoping they will change their minds back, but the people backed out of buying our house....boo. I'm alittle upset but maybe someone will come along and give us what we really want for, not just what we're willing to take.
Cool post idea a&g.....btw we are date twins, I just noticed....lol
Yay for giving yourself the shot. At least now it's over!! And lol at stealing the cup. I had a friend take a hurricane glass once because the service was terrible and he felt he deserved a reward....lol
Kudos: I walked out the the scale we used for our weightloss challenge here at work and I weigh less than I did at the end of the challenge. I am now just 4 pounds above wedding weight which is the lightest I've weighed since my freshman year of college.
Confessions: I went to bed at 5:45 last night....yeah 5:45 in the evening. It was still light out! I skipped dinner, went to sleep, and didn't wake up till 5:00 this morning. I have no idea why I was so tired but man did I feel like an old lady going to bed so early.
KUP updates: Our coffee business is doing well. We have been making sales and spreading the word the best we can. We profitted out first month, not much but we did. We are still trying to expand and are currently working on that.
I'm glad your dad is getting better. Sorry your sale didn't go through, but like you said, hopefully you'll find someone that will buy it for what you wanted to sell for and not settled for. Lots of big sale vibes to you!
(Ditto with Kudos for doing the shot thing! I couldn't have done it!)
Kudos-I've gotten back into my workout routine! (not where I was 1 1/2 wks ago, but getting there)
Confessions-I'm tired. I believe it's all from stress-the not losing weight, etc... trying to decide what's going on and whether I should consider a diff career or what. It's been on my mind since FOREVER and I am a little scared to make this jump, but I might need to for sanity's sake. But is the grass over there any greener?... yep.
KUP-My neighbor (not sure I told you this) FINALLY talked to me after 1 1/2 wks after asking if she could use my treadmill we bought from her. And then, we went for a 'speed' walk outside. Um, yeah...
wait...what?! she sold you a treadmill but now wants to come over and use it?! messed. up.
i don't mind shots given by doctors, but definitely kudos for giving yourself one!
kudos - finally got the flower bed cleaned up today...it was kind of an eyesore
confessions - I'm not a fan of DH's new friend from work and I haven't even met him. he was supposed to come over for dinner & phils game and didn't show up - no warning, no texts, no apologies until the next day. gee thanks, a-hole. now he wants DH to come over tonight. Um, no. you can come here, chief. maybe you can make up for being a douche.
KUP - I've been doing awesome on my diet! I don't follow it exactly - I add a little here and there since it's considered 'very low calorie' by itself. so far: 3lbs lost in 1 week! could be just water weight, but I'll take it. my stomach is flatter and i have more energy.
Confessions - I just yelled at my coworkers and told them to quit their bitching and just deal with their problem. I apologized afterward but now they're scared of me.
KUP - Pssst . . . What does KUP mean?
BWAHAHAHAHAHA.... this is great!
KUP= keep us posted
Keep Us Posted
I would never be able to give myself a shot in the leg let alone a shot in the stomach! Good job woman!
Hudys that is so awesome that you made a profit! Congrats!
Lets see...
Kudos: I brought in stuff for salads for lunch...I am trying to get on the weight lose train for maui. we shall see how it goes.
Confession...I think I am PG, but I seriously think that EVERY month. I dont know why I always think this. Well...here are reasons why, I have been super tired all week. Like went to bed 2 hours earlier then normal on tuesday because I just couldnt carry on, and yestercay I sent DH to the store for a loaf of french bread and butter pecan ice cream...I know these hold zero value in my stupid reasoning. this is maybe month number 6 that I have felt/thought like this...but I dont dare tell dh. He would poop his pants.
ALSO, the other day when I posted about anxiety/panic attacks...I think mine might be more heart/body realated and not an attack...my heart has been real fluttery feeling all week long both day and night. But I am to scared to go to the doc,because what if soemthing truely scary is wrong with me. ugh.
KUP: I havent mentioned this in a long time...but my poor little dad had his LAST roundof chemo on tuesday. Please keep him in your T&P that the cancer is fianlly gone. This is his second bout and I dont think that he would make it through a third time if it happened again
Ohhhh!
It is kind of funny because I'm really not a scary person . . . until you tick me off and then people suddenly steer clear. One time when I was driving my brother and husband gave me the wrong directions, making us very late for dinner. I was SERIOUSLY pissed. My brother and husband were dying to pee for about 45 minutes but neither said anything to me because they were afraid of me.
KUP: Ummmmmm . . . I'm seeing two of my favorite couple friends this weekend! And eating at my two favorite restaurants! We're never this social. But in more important news, my back has been sucking less lately (with the exception of today).
Kudos - I'm gonna get my 12 workouts in this month to get my $20 refund from DH's company.
Confessions - I don't DO anything all day long. I get nothing accomplished. It frustrates me - but without the focus of having a job, I'm just not motivated. I'm having DH help me make a schedule/checklist so I feel accomplished during the day.
KUP - um...nursery progress is slow - but moving along. spring has sprung here in the great north...I have a beautiful field of dandelions in my backyard.
TTC #1 13 cycles, CP 6/09, TTC #2 1 cycle
CDing, EP'd for 13 months for #1, BFing for #2
Pregnancy Hypertension - inductions at 39w, I grow big babies: DD was 9 pounds 1 ounce 22 inches, DS was 11 pounds even 22 inches - both vaginal deliveries
Kudos - I had my 90 day probation period review on Tuesday and it went FANTASTICALLY! I was getting super stressed out and rethinking this new job recently bc of some things that are coming down the pipe from corporate... But now after meeting with my manager and her telling me how impressed they are with me, I'm feeling MUCH more confident again. She thinks I will be moving up in the company very quickly at the rate I'm going now : )
Confessions - I have baby fever worse than ever right now. We're starting to try again this month but not telling anybody yet! I'm super nervous and scared, but now that I know I'm going to be at this job for a while now (knock on wood haha) and I have insurance through them, I feel more comfortable getting PG soon.
KUP updates - My mom is having health issues... Her doctor is testing her for a bunch of different things, but Lupus is one of the major things they're looking for. It's pretty scary, and I'm really worried about her. She's been having issues for the last few months, and she finally got sick of me telling her to go get a checkup, so she finally did last week. Now we're just waiting for results. Also, next weekend marks a year since my Grams died, so that's making things even harder on my mom and my entire family. It's just a tough time all around right now.
And PS... I miss all of you girls! I've been super busy with work, and even on my days off I've been running around like a mad woman! I've been coming on and reading as many posts as I can and reply when I have a moment. Hopefully things will calm down soon, and I'll be able to post a bit more often! Lots of love and hugs to everyone! xoxo
Thanks!
Lots of well wishes to your dad! I hope the cancer is finally all gone and never comes back!
