Still Running In Circles

ugh cycle 16 or 17.... I don't freakin know.

At some point or another I have lost track.  We have tried some months and then not others and to be completely honest, I can't remember what months we tried and what months we didn't.  I try to keep track with fertility friend but, I get so frustrated.  We are still "not trying."  We will probably be on this road for a couple more months.  I do have to admit that its been nice to not really think about it.  We went out with L and D last weekend and had a wonderful time.  L said that it was a nice change of pace for us not to be arguing and bickering at all.  She said that she saw a side of T and I that she hadn't seen in a while.  So we will keep pushing forward on this path for a bit and see where it goes.  And then if we are still not pregnant by the time T has his follow up appointment for his meds then we will discuss a SA with his Dr.

L's Dirty 30 Colorama Bowling Party is this coming weekend.  I am so super excited and can't wait to see everyone.  I just have to get through this next week and then its party like a rock star!!! I work Sunday thru Thursday and then I am off for 3 days.  Friday I am baking cupcakes and getting pedicures with the girls!  Saturday I am frosting cupcakes and getting ready for the party.  Since L is the only one of us girls that was born in the 80's, we decided that this party was going to be 80's theme.  Which means leg warmers, stretch pants, big bangs, fluorescent colors, and craziness. 

I think I am going to start baking.  I am going to start small with cupcakes.  I am making cupcakes for L's birthday.  I did a run through on the recipe that I have and made sure that I could pipe frosting.  I went to the craft store and actually purchased piping bags and a tip.  So I made funfetti cupcakes with pink frosting.  They are freakin fantastically yummy.   I used box cake but I added some stuff to it to make it taste like home made cake.  I'll have pictures of the ones from this next weekend.  I don't have any good ones from this last go! I have started pinning cupcake recipes that if I get the go ahead from T I will start baking cupcakes soon! 

We have put house hunting on hold for a little bit.  Probably till the end of June.  I have made T promise that if we get pregnant before then that  we will still continue to find us a home.  I don't want to bring a baby back to this house.  I don't like the fact that every week its a different thing wrong.  Last week T pulled the screen door of its hinges.  Which at the time I thought was remarkably funny.  But he was for sure not laughing at all!!!  I am still looking at homes, but I know that we can't buy anything anytime soon.  But it is still nice to look and to see what is out there. 

I guess that is all that is going on with us.  This post took 3 days to write.  Which I guess means I didn't really have nearly as much to say as I thought I did. 

This Is Going to Be Quick.....

.....And Short!

We are alive! We have had some hiccups the last couple weeks, but we are alive! 

I am awaiting the arrival of AF, if she isn't here tomorrow morning then I will be POAS, knowing full well that it will most likely be negative. 

We are praying for all of those that are in or around Boston.  Those who have been injured or have loved ones that have been injured and those who have been killed in this horrific act.  It scares me to death, and it makes my heart extremely heavy.  I am sure those responsible will be held accountable.  I am reminded that I really need to stop, and smell the roses.  To tell my loved ones that they are in fact, loved. 

God Bless.

So Much Is Going On

Holy Crap things are crazy!

There is so much crazy going on here, that I am not sure what which way is up anymore.  I have been working like a crazy lady.  Trying to keep everything going forward.  In the mean time, whoa is there a lot going on in this house! Speaking of houses.....

WE GOT PRE-APPROVED FOR A HOUSE LOAN!!!!!

We start looking for a house in about a month or so, we have to save a little bit of money, but not nearly as much as if we needed to have a down.  I am so outrageously excited to have a house with walls that I can paint.  And carpet I can rip up, and walls I can tear down, and fences I can build, and gardens I can grow.  I am just can't wait.  I am in charge of talking to the realtor and finding a place.  T was in charge of the money, and talking to the gal about how much we could be pre-qualified for.  Now we wait, and we pack our patience, because I don't want just some piece of crap house that I have to rebuild from the ground up.  I want a house that we can grow into, and be proud of.  I want us to have a house that is safe for us, so when we do finally have a baby, I don't have to be worried that the house is going to fall apart around us. 

In other news.... baby news.... we are around O, I think.  I haven't peed on anything.  I am in the process of going crazy!  Not using OPK's is going to drive me absolutely crazy! I am sure that I am going to O at anytime now.  Either tomorrow or Wednesday.  Hopefully we can get another get another really good sexy time in either tomorrow or Wednesday.  If we get pregnant this cycle then we will be due at or around Christmas.  Which should be interesting, to say the least.   I am going to try really hard not to get my hopes up to high this cycle.  But I know that by the 11th or 12th I will be going absolutely crazy! I do have to admit though, this month hasn't been nearly as stressful as other months, and I don't know if that is because I have been preoccupied with the house hunting or if that is because I haven't been peeing on things. 

I also got my hair cut today, and I LOVE it!!! its super duper cute, and it's going to be really nice for the summer.  It short but not to short, and will be nice when I want something different, or when I don't want to put my hair in a ponytail.  And now that I am thinking about it, I don't think I can actually put it back in a pony tail.  But anyways, I have bangs, I haven't actually had actual bangs in years, or decades, its been since either the late 90's or early 00's.  Man, what was I thinking.  LOL. 

That is about all that is going on.  Work has been a bear, and I am absolutely hating it! I am being pulled into all sorts of directions.  But I am getting my hours, and I am getting a house soon.  In the end I guess it will all be worth it.  I should be getting my next raise in a couple months, and then hopefully I will get more after that.
