Re: Friday Confessions
A post totally opposite witty's, I'm thinking of getting my tubes tied. I'm 37, know I don't want any more kids, and am tired of the whole birth control issue. I'm just afraid of, not regret, but a temporary moment of panic afterwards, and afraid I will want a baby just b/c I can't have one, not b/c I really want one. DH is totally on board and would get a vas, but my ex had one and then I left him, and don't want to leave behind this trail of sterile men.
Other than that, I wish I had cake for breakfast. Ah-men.

I have a co-worker that does that all the time too!! She works on the other side of the office so I don't run into her much but when I do I usually ask her what she's humming or singing since I'm pretty sure she doesn't know she's doing it out loud. (she's an eccentric old lady who lives by herself with oodles of cats - no lie! I think she talks to herself at home and doesn't realize that the sound coming from her mouth isn't inside her head.
)
I think people that hum and sing all of the time are some of the happiest people on the planet. My stepson is always whistling happy tunes. It makes me smile.
Have you concerned the Paraguard IUD? It's good for 10 years and it's "no think" birth control.
Oh, she is definitely one of these super happy people, but the way she doesn't come off as absent-minded. It's like she wants me to ask her what song she's humming so she can tell me all about the time she saw them in concert in Sweden in '78. Or something. It's an almost in your face humming--if that's possible.

I totally get it. She's that kind of hummer.
MY BLOG!
I confess that I feel so lazy today...
I already decided I'm going to leave work early since I have extra hours in the bank and not a lot to do today. But I still can't motivate myself to get the few things I have done. I don't know what better motivation there is than "finish these few simple things and you can begin the weekend!" I'm hopeless...
I confess that I havent done anything at work at all today. Its rainy and all I want to do is lay in bed and watch movies.
I confess that I was secertly happy when DH mentioned wanting to have another baby soon. But then when I said are you sure the next day he was like well maybe we will wait another year.
I confess...I don't know. I want something sweet--like a cupcake or muffin or candy or cake or anything really. I know I shouldn't, but I think I'm going to pick something up in a few minutes.
Here's one. I confess that I did a lousy job of studying for my Hist of Arch class this week, yet I still managed to get an A on it. My butt better get on board for studying more for the next test as it will be much more difficult (and this one was hard enough I was convinced I got a C or something lower).
I confess that I make fun of Walmart people all the time (website) yet last night I realized we were out of coffee. Since I am off today (Happy Birthday Mr. Lincoln) I went up to Walmart at 1030pm...in my ripped faded VS sweatpants, high school tennis hoodie (hole) on the lower front, no bra, and uggs...and my big poofy snow coat (cover up as much as possible....). I was standing in line for 15 minutes with all the other awesome "walmart" people...I should have been on that website last night.
I confess I have not painted my nails in over a month...ya there are bits of chipped gold polish left over from the beginning of january.
Oh and I hung up on DH last night when I realized we were out of coffee and he forgot to get some when he went to the store on Wed.... Ya that was mean and I was being over dramatic....but Jersey Shore was on and I didn't plan on leaving the house again.
I didn't realize you were trying! You should visit me on GP when you're ready to try again... if you're up for it.
My confession is that I think cycle #13 is about to be a bust and I am supremely upset because this means that I will be going through testing with the infertility specialist next week. I'm terrified that something is actually wrong with one of us (DH is getting tested too) and we will have major problems having children. Add in that this cycle was my last chance to have my first baby before I turn 35 in November, and now I feel old, fat, and infertile.
That's frustrating! Our friend who just died had three beautiful children and each of them took about two years of work with infertility doctors (starting at age 35!). She always said it was worth every minute of work with the docs. Don't give up yet!

Aw... chin up, Kel! Getting to the bottom of why you aren't getting pg is going to help you actually get pg. And as my grandma would say (and not to get super religious on you) but "the Lord works in wonderous ways."
Remember what you told me (it stuck with me): This is all part of your story.
*hugs* Try to look at the positive side of getting tested - this is what it will take in order for you to get things lined up so you can make it happen! I know of quite a few success stories after people have struggled for the first year.
I confess that all I want for dinner is a big ice cream sundae...maybe after a burger and fries and HUGE root beer from Wendy's. I should never have tried their new fries!
I confess that I got my IUD inserted today and all I want to do is go home and go to bed. I was so tired already (Liam has recently decided sleeping longer than a few hours is for the weak) and now I'm crampy and bleeding and the thought of going home and having to care for another human being is making me even more exhausted. I feel bad that I'm not looking forward to seeing the little man like I usually do and I'm hoping that DH is ready to spend some quality time with him to give me a break.

Yes!!
MY BLOG!
I totally will - we're going to have to wait a bit to get serious about it again though because my parents are treating my whole family to "Christmas" in Florida next year between Thanksgiving and Christmas proper so we're having to family plan around flight restrictions. This was the last change to do it before May/June when, if we were successful, we'd still be able to fly without the airlines pitching a fit.
And I know quite a few folks who have had the same struggles you're having right now and I think everyone feels the same way about it. You're taking the next steps to making a family a reality for you and that is a good thing - even though it might not seem like it right now. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you both that whatever they find is easy to work with and that you're on your way to being a family of 3 (or 4 or whatever!! *grin*) very soon!
I know how you feel. My body has done the same thing to me ever since DH and I have started talking about getting pregnant and now that we are actively trying it just drives us crazy when we are wondering if we are pregnant or just late. This last time we were a little over a week late.
I'm a little late with my confession as well. I confess that I have been eating whatever I've wanted ever since I've gotten over having the flu this week. I also confess that since then I have been completely unmotivated to do anything including workout.
On a high note I will be making my last car payment next friday and then will start focusing on the credit cards. Final confession for the week is that DH and I have finally started trying to have a baby. We have only been trying for a couple months and no luck yet but we have been spending a good amount of time doing some research and discussing baby related things.
