Re: Best and Worst Parts of the Week?
Best....getting the interview for next friday
, taking my last bc pill ever! Mohegan 
, and keeping my car clean after this (spoiled brat)'s daddy cleaned it out for her 
Worst....hitting my head on my car doorjam HARD......the road its taking to get said interview.....and coming off the pill and the freak scramble attack I'm having!
Getting fit for IVF!
Best part: Don't know if it counts because it hasn't happened yet but Jason and I are having a little date night tonight which I'm really looking forward to. We have a gift card to Outback (thanks PNC points!), so we're going out to dinner which we never do, and then coming home and watching a netflix movie. I'm just really excited to have a Friday night planned with him that doesn't involve our friends or us cleaning.
Worst part: Finding out I didn't get the job I interviewed for. I really thought I nailed the interview, then found out on Monday I didn't get the job. I wasn't as upset as I thought I'd be though, kind of just said, "booo, that stinks" and moved on, so maybe that tells me it wasn't the right job for me? On we go
Best parts: Finally finishing painting our master bedroom and ensuite, and having our friends over to see our new house tomorrow.
Worst parts: Fighting with our car dealership to get our car back, throwing up and feeling very tired last night - I even fell asleep part way through Big Bang Theory.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermAre you having a "freak scramble attack" about coming off the pill? I found it SO liberating, AND my body actually became regular!

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad spermI'm having a freak attack about coming off it because I'm crash course teaching myself how to chart and im nervous....but we'll make it work
Getting fit for IVF!
Just use condoms until you get the charting thing down; I know they are no fun but it'll only be for a little while and will ease your nerves. I haven't used BC since I was 17; it's wonderful. (And now I realize that kind of makes me sound whore-ish lol)
Best: Having Mike book 5 dance lessons at a huge discount. Can't wait to learn Latin!
Worst: Just being cranky lately. If I didn't know for sure that I wasn't (I'm not, no worries!) PG I'd swear we had a little bun in the oven. I'm exhausted all.the.time this week and moods are a swingin' and food is not appealing.. it's not fun. Hoping it passes soon.
Best: Today is my last day teaching physics for the year!!! I am giving them a project to finish out the last two weeks, so we'll still be busy, but no more trying to explain physics to 18 year old who could care less!!!!!!
Worst: The parents at this school are getting ridiculous, they complain about everything. I've heard so many complaints in the last few weeks working with prom, track, and failing kids it is really getting to me. We teachers are human beings, I can't give your kid a brain.
Also worst, we got our yard surveyed....our property line is literally on the east wall of our house. If our windows opened outwards they would be on our neighbor's property, technically some of our gutters are. Our house was the first built on the block (before property lines were set) so what moron thought that was okay? So if our neighbors ask us to we are going to have to move our condenser for the a/c.
I feel like I need another best.....My forensic science class students are really into the class this year. I've created an ongoing case and each unit we get more evidence....they *seem* to really want to know what happened and to get the next piece of evidence. We just got fingerprint evidence yesterday...next week some toxicology evidence. It has been a lot of fun to have a class that enjoys this, makes the work I put into it worth it.
Best: DH's bday, giving him gifts and surprising him with the Bulls tix. He said thanks and everything when we went but he emailed me again the next day right when he got into work to say thanks for giving me such an awesome birthday.
Worst/best: Gpa Ed's health condition, but good hearing that doctors think he's strong enough for the cardioversion together and that it may work. 3pm CT ladies. Keep those prayers/thoughts/blessings coming!

Worst - Having to take Doxy dog to the vet after a week of vomiting to find out he had pancreatitis.
My poor baby had to stay overnight at the vet with IV fluids. He seemed better the last few days but today I'm not so sure... I woke up from a deep sleep to the sound of his stomach gurgling and making crazy sounds and then he didn't so much as sniff his food this morning. Ugh!
Best - I'm alive and well, surprising MIL with a nice purse and goodies for her birthday, and finally taking a carload of stuff to Goodwill. C and I have been procrastinating going over to the donation center for over a month! We have been riding around with a backseat full of old clothes, books, DVDs, etc. all this time and it literally took us like 3 minutes total. (FFC: The donation center is literally a block away from our home!)

Brooke, I'm sorry
I hope everything is ok with your baby!
Megan & Chris
Best:
The weather was so nice for this time of year, so we were able to sit outside two nights to grill...these are my favorite nights, because we just sit there and talk for hours. We also started receiving gifts in the mail from people who can't make it to our upcoming showers. I feel so blessed. Oh, and I received my invitation (really, on Saturday) for the shower my friends are throwing and the theme is "I love you to the moon and back" - and it says to wear pj's! So now I don't have to try to find a dress!!! So excited!
Worst:
Nothing really. It's been a pretty good week. I guess the fact that Braxton Hicks have begun...that kind of sucks. But some women start getting them much earlier than this, so I'll count my blessings.
Megan & Chris
Thanks for your concern. I hope Dox is ok too! And can I just say that I LOOOOOOOOOVE this theme for your shower?!? How cute is that? I know you will enjoy. Take lots of pics cause you know we are dying to see
P.S. Still waiting for the new bump pic!!
est. 10/10/10
That is freaking awesome! You have fabulous friends!
Haha! Thanks! I think so too! They know me well enough to know I'd prefer a casual baby shower any day of the week!
Megan & Chris
Keep us posted on Doxie for sure!
And I will work on the picture right now before I forget again (well, when I got off the phone with Comcast to tell them that our service is STILL intermittent - ugh!).
Megan & Chris
Best: Not specifically good has happened, but that's not to say it was a bad week
Best: Finally feeling better after being a sick for a week and a half. The garage sale is over tomorrow and I am so glad to not have my dad nagging me about cleaning the rest of my stuff out of their house.
Worst: WORK!! We just switched to a new software and it is a nightmare, it was ok the first 2 days and today everything that could have fallen apart and/or stopped working did. I still have two more days of hell and I am not looking forward to it one bit. Hell week at work + being sick= terrible week.
