All I can say is WOW! My mom talked to my uncles wife (3rd wife) last night. She is pregnant with twins. My uncle is 10 years older than my mom, so almost 64. He has kids in their mid-thirties and 5 grand kids. She is 45, and to put it nicely, a little out there. For example, he had a pulmonary embolism and she wouldn't go up to the hospital or pick him up because she didn't want to leave the cats.

I want to be totally happy for them, but I'm too busy being in shock lol. And of course, she is due in August too.

Anyone have anything else to share....

Not going to lie, but I'm feeling pretty self-destructive lately. Like I would rather just wipe the proverbial slate clean and start from scratch than having to deal with anything. I find myself shutting down more than opening up, as if I'm trying to protect myself. And it sucks.

Wow. I just hope everything goes well. To be that old and to carry twins, the risks are just through the roof.

My random is that I'm really, really mad at my mom and I'm having trouble shaking it. For about 4 months she's been telling me that she's not coming down for Ellie and Sayre's birthday party on May 5th because on the weekend of May 19th she's going to be travelling to Oklahoma City for a high school graduation (it's a really long story - basically my Dad has a stepsister who is closer to my age than she is my dad's, she lived with us for a while, so my mom feels really close to her and her children.)

I was mad enough that she's skipping the babies party to go to the graduation of someone who isn't even her blood family. But, I've known this was her plan for about 4 months now and I've gotten over my anger.

So anyway, yesterday I posted on my FB status that it's only two months until Ellie's birthday and that I need to get to party planning. My mom had the gall to post on my status, "So is the party going to be on the weekend that I'm coming through town?"

Um, no. No it's not, mom. We've already discussed this ad nauseum. You chose the graduation over your grandchildren. I'm not scheduling the party around your preferences. I'm having the party on the weekend of their birthdays, and I'm not moving it to suit you.

I don't know, maybe I'm a brat, but I think she's being really selfish and now she's going to try to spin this to make me feel guilty for not having the party the weekend of the 19th.

I wish I had normal parents.

/rant

ETA: I forgot to mention that our house is on her way to OKC so she will be stopping to visit on the 19th. That's why she wants the party to be then. But it's not going to happen.

Since I need to lose 10lbs, I decided to start couch to 5K (again) starting this morning. I got up, ate some oatmeal, got dressed, filled my water bottle, then reached for my phone to see that the phone repair guy had called to tell me he was on his way. Now he's fixing my phone line so I have to be home, and I'm really afraid that by the time he's done, my motivation to go to the gym will be gone and I won't go. :-/

Another random, I had convinced myself for the last week that I had to work today, and it turns out I don't. So I feel like today is a bonus day off

Although I hate to vent about DH (and may DD this later), I just have to right now. I fully understand that he has had zero experiance with kids/babies and I have (have 3 younger siblings I helped take care of). However, that does not mean that I have to do everything. If I am home at the same time as him, 99% of the time I feed her, 100% of the time I change her, 100% of the time I bathe her & 100% of the time I rock her to sleep. He claims to have a low tolerance to loud noises (ie her screams) so he freaks out when she gets really fussy. So, I really feel like I'm a single mother with how I basically have to do everything for her. Oh, I also have bought 99.999% of her clothing and all but 1 pkg of her diapers (we still have seperate accounts/finances). As if that is bad enough, I hear him mumbling when he can't find anything to wear or there are dishes in the sink. Sorry, but I was too busy dealing with the baby from the second I got home to the second I went to bed to do those things. Household chores now only tend to occur on the weekends, when I have more time.

I think something is wrong with me and I am freaking out. I have always has issues with heartburn and tums has usually made it better. I went to the hospital once about it, got nexium and it was fine.

Well since last Thrusday I have been having the same chest pain but now i'm having pressure pain under my left breast (plus it's sore to the touch) and have sharp pains over my heart. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. My mom and Jon think I should just wait for the appointment, but I think I should at least go to the walk in/ER to be on the safe side since it has been like this every day for a week.

If YOU think you need to go to the ER? then go to the ER. Your mom and Jon can't tell you what's going on with YOUR body. If you feel like you need to go, you should absolutely go.

I know, I guess I am scared that it is going to be something worse because last time I went for what I thought was a cold, ended up being mono and in the hospital for a week. But your right. I will go after work and get it check out. It's better than sitting for another day worrying what it might be.

To me it sounds like you've pulled a muscle in your chest. But, you should definitely go get it checked out, if only for your peace of mind. *hugs* hope you feel better soon!

That's exactly what my mom thinks because I have been bowling a lot this past week. But I will still go just to get it checked out. Thanks

I scheduled my interview for March 19th Its a Monday....and we're already off the previous Friday afternoon for our "spring holiday" and so I'm just going to take that whole Monday off and make it a long weekend with my parents. They didn't offer to pay for travel, and I didn't feel comfortable asking....so oh well.

Woohoo! Good idea of making along weekend out of it. I bet your parents are SO excited to have you moving back!

I hit the 15lb weight loss mark. Big Smile

I'm not ready to buy new clothes yet, so I rewarded myself with shoes and a mojito.

tdmd09 · March 2012

Leslie - if it makes you feel better, the vast majority of the time if your chest hurts when you touch or push on it, it's muscle/bone related and not heart or lung related. I agree with the pulled muscle theory. If it would give you peace of mind to go to the ER I would do it, although it sounds like you are probably okay ((hugs))

Vials have been ordered, calls have been made, we have a meeting with a therapist on Monday and with yesterday being CD1 we're officially ready to IUI this month. It's weird.

I am excited for the end of the month too because we're switching gyms. I can't wait to leave ours. I'm tired of paying so much money for them not to keep up equipment and to cater to the elderly and tennis players and completely ignore the average gym-goers (for example, the temperature in the cardio area this winter has ranged from 78-84 degrees. The old people are cold, the people who are using the cardio equipment are ready to pass out).

I've been blogging (AW, I know. Link below) and I think it's helping me process thoughts as I have them. I'm doing better not just making a list of sh!t I'm worried about but of writing it down, coming to a conclusion and moving on from it. I think it's helping me not to dwell.

I'm annoyed that some of my friends are drama queens (granted, not new news, but still..it's Friend 1's birthday, stop whining and just show up for two drinks. You don't have to stay till the bar closes, just make an appearance, give a hug and hang out for a few minutes. It's not that big a deal)

I hope so! (regardless of the terrible odds!) My best friend and her husband are doing their 2nd IUI this month, so we're both keeping our fingers crossed )
