Re: Say anything... again!
Thanks!
I'm never brave enough to do anything fun like that. I'm boring. My next door neighbor (who is a good 10 years older than me and has three kids-- so it's not like she's all young and hip) does her hair all sorts of funky colors and cuts. It's never the same for long, she pulls it off and always looks great though. I don't think I could pull it off. I'm boring.
We had our family pictures done and I love love love them. DH and I are getting a date night tomorrow. People are fighting me over feeding my kids and changing B's diapers. The weather is gorgeous. I'm eating all of the delicious food that I miss so desperately (although I've probably gained 20 lbs). Even staying with my MIL doesn't super suck. I dig vacation.
Flights are unbelieveable nowadays.
Why? What's he doing? I forbid M from telling me he's "too tired" to do something if it means I have to do it. I'm mean.
Did you get a new house this time :-)
*snort*
I think that is sexy too. Nurturing attentive dads are super sexy to me.

ditto.

Ohhhh....you ladies got jokes, eh?
MB - that is funny about Maddie...what is it with kids and announcing farts? Avery likes to fart on us. I swear she is going to *** herself trying to fart on us one day.
I don't know. But when I have those farts that escape through the front I get really uncomfortable, not giddy.
That is funny about Avery - unless she actually does *** herself. Maddie knows better than to fart on me. But she has tried before.

well that must be it. I was worried I had fantasies of him in those short polyester shorts that middle school coaches wear.
hahahhahah - actually, when a guy has big muscular thighs and a round booty I think those are sexy too. Snort!

We decided to have new floors put in the house today. Like picked it out and signed the papers.
It caused me to then panic. I'm so freaking snappy it is unreal...and unfair to everyone else. I'm freaking out about work. Things just aren't going my way there, I lost a huge piece of bus I was hoping for (needed!) and I feel like I should spend every other waking moment applying for any and every job out there. I had one lead, that I don't think will turn out and honestly...I'm ok with it. The further I got in the process the less I liked things. I am just waiting (impatiently) for things to turn around in general and I feel so far from it that I can't even see and end in sight.
yuck, I'm sorry. A job stress issue is such a huge thing that it's hard to not let it affect every waking moment. I hope some random job pops up that makes you go, huh, I'd be perfect for that and the company agrees and hires you on the spot. if only I could I dream of jeannie blink and make it happen for you.
chinese takeout, family movie night and dark chocolate brownies. I am determined to focus on the good things that are going to happen tonight instead of the fact that cycle 19 is a BFN and we're starting cycle 20.
It's not working as well as I hoped. At least I had a kick ass zumba class today that pre burned the calories I'm about to ingest.
I have a beautiful happy daughter, a loving husband, a house I love and a wonderful family. I need to learn to be content with what I have instead on focusing on what I am longing for. I'm working on it I swear. Thanks for letting me dump it out here.
Give yourself a break and remember that it's okay to be upset, too ~ you have every right to be! I can't imagine how hard it must be for you to be on cycle 20, and I'm not going to pretend I know what it's like, so I'll just say that I'm so sorry and I hope that this next cycle gives you a BFP
Uh. I'm so sorry Clare. Like L said, I have no idea what it is like but I wish I could give you a big hug right now. Have a great family evening, at least. I'll be praying for baby dust for you next month.

Between $2100 and $2500 for four of us since the baby would be free. That didn't include luggage fees, car rental or hotel. I hope my brother knows how much I love him.
I am pretty sure I either had a mild heart attack or a really bad panic attack out of no where today. Trouble breathing, tingly/painful feeling radiating through chest and shoulders, my right arm is tingling like crazy, I broke out into a cold sweat. We were at dinner and it came on out of no where. I had to walk outside and get some fresh air.
I know I should probably go get checked, but I feel ridiculous. We were really busy today cleaning and de-cluttering and then we went to dinner and the kids were being f*ckers. Avery kept lifting my dress and then they wouldn't sit still. I know I was super frustrated with them, but that doesn't normally warrant these symptoms.
Now I am just really snappy and when DH was trying to read over my shoulder I told him to get the F away.
GRRRRRRRRRR.
Harmony, you should get checked out.
Especially if:
Face - when you smile does one side droop to the side?
Arms - when you raise both, does one drift downward on its own?
Speech - try to repeat something DH says - are you slurred?
Time - if any of the above call 911
If not any of the above, still go get checked out. The above are signs of a stroke but if you had a mild heart attack you should have that evaluated ASAP.

ITA!
I have to do this constantly. I do a lot of self-talk when I start to feel panicky about life (like kreepers post!). I'll get anxious about something (right now its DD starting daycare) and for some reason that makes me panic about everything! The other day I had a meltdown - feeling like I was doing a terrible job at work, being a crappy wife, crappy mom, etc. When I sat down and thought about it, I realized that I was just anxious/stressed about DD starting daycare. I probably said, "I have a good life. I have a good life." a thousand times in the past week! sigh
GL with cycle 20! I think 20 is a fabulous and lucky number.
June 20th is my bday and we found out we were pg with Helen on July 20th. So - lots of good cycle vibes to you!!!
