Confessions
We haven't done one of these in a while!
AF is late this month (AGAIN), but for the first time ever I'm not completely freaked out...and I'm maybe even a little hopeful I'm KTFU. I'm 90% sure I'm not, but the fact that I'm not OMGWTF-ing makes me think I might be more ready than I realize.
I "ran" my first 5k on Saturday with H and my friend. We vowed to stick with my friend until the end, knowing she was much slower than us - but I think we underestimated HOW slow she'd be. I also underestimated how much it would KILL me to go that slow when I knew I could do better. We ended up finishing way quicker than she thought we would, which is so great for her! But H and I are running another one this Sunday because I NEED to see how fast I can really go! I'm afraid to tell my friend we're running another, because I don't want her to come with. I feel like a shiity friend.
WARNING: JOB VENT #5,948,384,398: Due to an incident that made me drop everything and come in to work on Saturday night (it was 1000% not my fault, but I feared termination if I didn't cancel everything I was doing and come in), I can't even pretend to give a shiit anymore. I am SO ANGRY at this wretched place and the way I've been, and continue to be, treated. I really didn't think it could get any worse, but it has. The absolute worst part is that there's NOTHING I can do to make it any better, and I'm STILL not getting any goddamn offers.

Re: Confessions
*I yelled a nasty yell at DH last night after he wouldn't quit grinding his teeth loudly, then loudly clopped his way to the bathroom, flushed the toilet (which we don't do at night, out of noise consideration), flopped back in to bed, proceeded to wrestle with a bag of haribo gummi bears (???) for a snack, suck loudly on said gummi bears and then tried to talk to me. I was so angry he woke me up and continued to be inconsiderate and noisy when I knew I was going to have a hard time falling back to sleep. Luckily, I'm pretty sure he wasn't really 100% awake, meaning he has no recollection of the incident. It did get him to shut up last night, though I'm pretty sure he rolled over and pouted and mumbled that I was being mean.
*I threw a co-worker under the bus this morning, but she completely deserved it. Sadly, it won't mean anything but an attitude from her tomorrow. I will still have to do her job and mine, since she only shows up to work when it's convenient for her.
*I get irrationally angry when my office mgr won't stay seated in her cubie, causing me to have to hide my interwebz. She doesn't care, and does the same herself, but, ya know. I try to pretend a little when she is walking around and today she will not stay seated. I should not get so angry over this!
*I am currently throwing a huge temper tantrum over my chart and failed cycle and just don't care if I'm being a debbie all over the place. DH has tried to cheer me up, but I believe that he has given up for the time being until he can try to shake some sense in to me when we get home.
I love that your H was eating gummie bears in the middle of the night! Hahahaha, that's irritating but hilarious all the same.
I confess I've totally been stalking your chart and I'm SO CONFUSED by it! I can only imagine how you must feel.I got you this stiff drink:

In hindsight, and now that I am awake and not trying to sleep, the gummy bear part is pretty hilarious! I don't know why he started eating them, that is not normal behavior! It's coincidence the bag was there in the first place. I literally bought him a small bag of haribo gummy bears over 2 yrs ago and he chose 2 nights ago to finally eat them (he wouldn't let me throw them away)! I guess he needed a night time sugar fix?!?!
Uh, yeah. My chart? It gets a big WTFBBQ?! I always get AF around 13dpo, I always spot and I always get a temp drop the day of, or prior to, AF. So WTF is this crap? It gave me a sliver of hope yesterday that I knew better then to give in to. I spent the weekend mourning, I didn't need to go through it all over again. I *think* I'm spotting now, but it's more like pink tinged CM. There is not going to be a BFP, so we really need to get this show on the road. I'm overly annoyed. I also chose, and made an appt with, an RE for 5/17 so...clomid is on the horizon I suppose. Yay?
Ditto this, no confessions from me, things around here have been pretty low key, but I still like to read other people's confessions and send hugs to all.

Thank for the hugs, girls.
Carcrash, your chart is getting an even bigger WTF from me today. I hope they wave a magic wand over you at your RE appointment and *poof* you're pregnant! That's how it works, right?

I hate my BBT with more hate then ever today. Really, WTFBBQ?! If I don't have AF, or significant spotting/signs of her, on Friday then I am going to call my dr to be like "Hey, WTF, is this ok?"
And that should totally be how it works. In fact, I will make my own magic wand and bring it! All the RE has to do is wave it and say a magic spell!
*hugs* to everyone having bad days! My confessions aren't so bad, just some things I can't really say to people IRL
I confess that I'm angry I have to spend more than the other BM's for my friends bachelorette party. They all live in OH so she chose to have her bach party there so it was convenient for all of them, meanwhile I'm the one planning the d*** thing and I have to pay an extra $400 for a plane ticket.
I confess that I secretly love being able to draw better than any of my classmates
I confess that I am about to drop some serious dough on a road bike/commuter and am using my achilles injury to convince my husband I "need" it since I can't run.
This. Sorry girls, I hope the rest of the week is better! ((hugs))

I'm running a 5k with some friends on saturday, and it's their first race. I confess that I don't want to tell them how I'm training this week (take it easy for the rest of the week and whatnot) because I'm afraid theyre going to do better than me, and I'm thinking they're going to tire themselves out this week. i suck.
I confess that I'm jealous of our student teacher because she's interviewing at schools that will offer her almost $10,000 more than me.
Is there any chance whatsoever that your O date is wrong?
I'm sorry for this, I hope you get a BFP of a CD1 really soon!
My confessions are brief:
1. I should wait until Sunday to take a HPT but I think I'm going to take one tomorrow anyways because this has been a long cycle, no spotting, and I have been an achy mess. I took one on Monday and it was BFN, but it was too early anyways. The only hangup with testing tomorrow is DH will be gone for the weekend, so I don't know if I should tell him or wait till he gets home Sunday. Also thrown into the mix is....
2....photographing my first wedding on Saturday! Holy balls am I nervous! Nervous, but an excited nervous. I cannot wait. I hope this is a new chapter for me and I can GTFO of corporate, not so creative hell. Praying with all my might for a sunny, warm day and I know it's just going to be so awesome and fun. But I also feel like there's pressure because so many people know this is my first and are waiting to see how it turns out. Eek!

Your BBT is your thermometer, right? Maybe it's broken?

Eh, I doubt it. My temps got screwed up from my poor sleeping those days but I only got one day of +OPKs, which is normal for me. I tend to O the same day I get my +OPK, so I overrode FF since she wasn't going to be able to figure out where to put CH's anyways. I suppose it is possible though, but my temps were so screwy there's no way to really know. Oh well.
Yes, BBT= thermometer. And I have been meaning to buy a new one, so it's definitely time.
Good luck with your wedding this weekend, Shazzie!!!
Thanks ladies!
carcrash, I think you should stomp on that thing a few times before chucking it in the trash. I'm sorry

I'm going to! I didn't even bother temping this morning and I'm considering it cd1 and being done with my bbt! I will go to Walgreen's a buy new!
Nice. Death to the BBT!
