Want a fool proof way of ruining your Sunday afternoon? Try doing your taxes AND finding out that a dumbass has gotten his girlfriend pregnant - again!
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read an email from an aquaintance bragging about how his girlfriend is pregnant, with their second child, and the not so subtle implication is it was an "accident".
The insensitivity of his email was not intentional. He has no way of knowing that DH and I were TTC for so long before he was sent over seas. But I must say it took all my strength and self control not to send him a scathing email back. Maybe what made me angry was his comment that "we should know how to avoid this", or something along those lines. It finally came down to this...he does seem to be happy and I didn't want to ruin that for him or his girlfriend.
I know I shouldn't let news like this get to me but it's so hard. I can think of several other people I'd rather hear are pregnant than A and his girlfriend.
And to add insult to injury, DH told me yesterday morning that the wife of one of his friends in AZ is also pregnant. She got pg while he was home on leave. Hmmmmm...lucky them.... I about burst into tears on the phone. And DH is so sweet, offering to have an SA or whatever it took when he gets home. I know it's not him, it's me - either I'm too fat or too old. And I hate, Hate, HATE the fact that we are losing precious cycles while DH is away. I'm going to be 39 this year, there's not much time left.
So, my new goal for the next 5 months is to drop as many lbs as I can before DH gets home. I'll be damned if my weight is going to be an issue for us when it comes to getting pregnant.

Happy Days
So, a week (or more) has come and gone. DS is feeling much better, thank goodness. I love him with all my heart but puke and poop are my two least favorite things to have to deal with - let alone at the same time.
DH managed to score many points on Valentines day by sending me a beautiful flower arrangement. Generally speaking we don't "do" Valentines day so it was a nice surprise to get the flowers.
I've made it thru two weeks on my new job and haven't managed to mess things up too badly. I'm lucky to have a couple co-workers who are supportive and willing to answer my dumb questions. It's definitely not entirely what I thought it would be, but I'm looking forward to the challenge.
And Saturday a friend of mine gave me some of the best news I could have gotten on a beautiful, warm and sunny almost spring day in the NW. She's pregnant! S and J have been TTC since about the time DH and I started TTC 4 years ago. S has had 2 m/c in the last 18 or so months and was about ready to give up last time I talked to her. I can't say I blame her! All the medical proceedures, the poking and prodding, the meds and their awful side effects...they can take a toll on a person! And to endure this for almost 4 years is super human in my book.
Best of all, S is carrying twins:-) She's a bit wigged out but very excited. Both babies are looking good at this point. S is due to have another ultrasound this week to check their progress.
So, life is pretty good here. Now, if only the weather would stay nice for longer than 10 minutes at a time...

Update on the sickie
Well, the sickie is better though not 100%. I'm not sure whether it was bad food, a touch of the flu or what. At least the vomiting has stopped.
Life is settling into a routine again. This new job is going to be challenging, more so than I thought. That's ok, I'd rather have the challenge than be bored, which is how I was at my old job.
I really don't have much interesting or inspiring to say tonight. I'm pretty tired and have to be up early so I think I'm going to turn in. I'm guessing I won't run tomorrow morning either. AF showed today and I'm kinda crampy and not feeling up to dealing with a 4am wake up call.

Sickie Baby
The most horrible feeling in the world is not being able to help your child when he or she is sick. DS is not feeling well tonight - something he ate this afternoon I suspect. I'm hoping the worst of the vomiting is over now so he can get some sleep tonight.

Trucking Along
So far so good with the new job. I'm still adjusting to the new schedule, though this is going to be a tough week. I have to do a "sleep over" on Thursday night - basically pull an all nighter, something I haven't done in many many years.
DS seems to be adjusting pretty well. Luckily he loves to ride in my dad's guck (truck) and my dad is the one taking him to daycare for me. This way I get to pick him up and can spend some time with him before bed. I can't wait til the days get longer and it stays light longer!
The one piece of bad news the last week or so concerns my grandmother. She's going to be 90 this year (yikes!) and we found out that she's got 80% blockage in her heart. The docs were originally thinking she might be able to try using meds to correct this but now they say the best way is to do angioplasty. I'm a little nervous about this. She's not the most active person to begin with and the recovery could be difficult. The doc seems to think she's a good enough candidate though. It just makes me nervous that she has to go all the way to San Diego for the operation. We don't have a surgery date yet. Hopefully by the weekend we'll know more.

Out Of Practice
I have to admit, not having to work a full 40 hrs a week since June has made me soft. I'm exhausted and the week's not over yet! But exhausted in a good way of course.
The new job is going well. I've managed to locate the top of my desk and to get the ok to toss all of the crap the person before me accumulated. She was the ultimate pack rat - kept everything from the beginning of time in notebooks. My chore is to dump as much of it as I can! The best part is, I'm also going to continue training on the education programs I was working on before I got the job. I'm glad, I think I would miss working with the kids, even though they can drive you crazy;-)
DH is doing ok, from what I can tell. He can't talk about things as freely when he's "on a run" and we don't hear from him as often. It makes me nervous. The most dangerous time for them is on runs.
DS has decided that he LOVES the car wash. Today he insisted we go thru it with our car. Either my van was really dirty or he's just a goofball, lol. I think it was probably a bit of both. The van did need a rinse. I can't wait til it warms up enough to be able to wash the van ourselves.
