mind dump monday
Because I can't wait till Thought Vomit Thursday!
- I am still not able to reply to any of your comments! I still read them all and enjoy them. As soon as blogger fixes whatever is going on I will bet back to replying. I really hate not being able to!
- The Hubby left yesterday on another business trip. This time he won't be back till Saturday night! I was planning on going with him, but I need to be here Saturday morning for my CD10 US and blood work. If AF had just shown up one day later I would have been able to go! UGH! So I am home alone again. I am ok with being home alone when he is in this state and I know he is coming home at night. When he is away I can't sleep. I have to give you Military Wives credit. I don't know how you get through it.
- I am currently on CD5 of IUI #3 and will be taking my 3rd dose of clomid tonight. If the past two clomid cycles repeat themselves then the "Clomid Crazies" should kick in sometime tomorrow. FUN! I don't get too bad. Just a little more emotional.
- I am dogsitting for my MIL while she is away visiting family. The dog is a little chiwawa. You can see her in the back of this pic. She is sweet and basically keeps to herself unless you put her on the couch or bed with you. Then she will cuddle. She doesn't like to go outside for long. Just to go to the bathroom and back in she goes. She refuses to take walks.
- I am trying to keep myself busy. I went out to dinner last night with my Mom and Brother. We had a great time and had a few really good conversations. Today I have no big plans. I am going to try and catch up on all the blogs, go work out and then relax and crochet while my dishwasher and washer & dryer do all the work.
- Tomorrow I have big plans! I am going to be spending the day with C my Guardian Angel! She loves going out on little adventures looking for antiques and thrift and consignment shopping. She always finds beautiful stuff for cheap! She also has a booth at a local antiques mall that she sells things she finds and fixes up and lots of her old stuff to make room for new old stuff! We will be taking a trip deep into the next state over to check some places out and pick up a few things she found on ebay and craigs list for her booth. It is going to be so much fun! We always have an awesome time when we get together and have some great conversations!
- Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be much like today. I have no plans. I just have to try and keep myself busy with working out, blogs and crocheting I guess. Hopefully some friends will be around so I can makes some plans to hang. I need to get out of this house or I am going to go crazy!

Here are my responses to futuresoccermom's questions @ Pregnancy 101
1. What is a random, goofy hidden talent that you have?
Wow, hard first question. Well it is definitely not a talent and probably lots of people can do this, but it's the only random, goofy thing I could think of. I have a pretty substantial Elvis lip curl.
2. Who is your favorite actor/actress, and what movies or shows did you love them in?
I think if I have to name one it would be Meg Ryan. I love so many movies of hers!
3. What is the craziest, most ridiculous dream you’ve ever had?
My dreams are usually pretty serious and more like real life situations. The only kinda crazy one I can remember is being a Ghost Buster and running around the city with them like in the movie.
4. How many times have you been to the hospital for non-IF related things?

4. How many times have you been to the hospital for non-IF related things?
3 times all for fractured bones. Broke my tailbone first. Slipped on goose poop in the high school field playing soccer. I sat on a donut for 6 months. I still have issues since I really messed up my nerves. Then I fractured my right wrist. I fell and landed on it while I was hiking in the woods. Only had a soft cast on it for a few months. I can feel when a big storm is coming. And last I fractured my left ankle. I stepped off a high curb wrong and landed on the side of my ankle. Had a soft cast on that too for a few months.
5. What countries have you traveled to and which was your favorite?
I have never been out of the US. My favorite state I visited would have to be Colorado. It is so beautiful there.
6. If you could hire your own nutritionist, fitness trainer, or personal chef, which would you choose and why?
Probably a personal chef. I love to bake, but I don't cook too well. To have someone cook all my meals would be so awesome! I know they would be healthy and so much better than I could ever do.
7. What is your favorite indoor activity? Outdoor?
Hmmm. I guess for indoor I would say just relaxing and crocheting. Outdoor, going for a walk on a nice day.
8. If you could explain one thing about IF to someone non-IF to help them understand, what would you tell them?
I always had a hard time explaining things to non-IFers. I found an article Beckie posted a while ago that really explains things better than I could. I gave it to my bestie and she finally got it. Here is a link to her post.
9. Talk about your siblings. How many do you have?
I have one Brother. He is actually my half Brother, but I never thought of him that way. We are 9 years apart. My step father is an asshole so I basically was his second parent. He is mentally and physically disabled. Although he is not classified, he had bits and pieces of autism, downs and other things. He also has a seizure disorder. He is an amazing person. Always happy. Is friends with everyone he meets and loves unconditionally. He has taught me so many things. He is the one person I am most excited to tell when we finally have a baby.
10. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a Veterinarian. I love animals and was always interested in science.
11. What is your favorite condiment? (You know, ketchup, hot sauce)
Probably Franks Red Hot. I put that shit on everything! I really do!
The people I am going to tag are:
Lora @ Hope Delayed
April @ Where Do We Go From Here?

getting stronger
First I want to thank everyone for all your kind words and your
support. I got very upset. It definitely was a combination of things.
I cried most of the night on the Hubby's chest. We had a very long
talk. He actually spoke more than a couple words and didn't just listen
to me cry and spew my thoughts. I was so shocked I just cuddled, silently cried and
listened as he pet my head.
He said everything I needed to hear. He reassured me that we could do this and that we will do as much as I can handle. He told me how strong I am. I told him my worries about money if we do end up doing IVF and he told me we will make it work and then said we are not going to worry about that till we need to. He went over our plan again with me. We had decided to do 3 IUIs and then talk to out RE about possibly changing meds like she suggested.
I know how he feels about everything, but it was amazing to actually hear him talk about it all. I feel like we connected in a whole new way. The next day, thinking over everything, I realized that our relationship is getting stronger. It is such an amazing feeling.
When I get stressed or upset I get a whole lot of nervous energy. I walk around the house and try to find something to do to let it out. I clean or organize stuff or if I am really crazed I walk, fast. There have been times where I just walk and think and don't pay attention to where I am going. I have found myself almost 2 miles down our main road having to turn around because I am about 20 feet from getting on a highway. Since it's winter, every time I try to walk I freeze my butt off, so I usually go stir crazy around the house.
Last month I changed gyms. I hadn't worked out in about 2 months. I used to go to one of those women's fitness circuit work out places. I went there for a while before I got married and lost 20lbs. Most recently I was there for 4 months. It got boring and I just stopped going. I was doing the same thing every day and could only do it for a half hour. I didn't feel like it helped get all the nervous energy out that I needed. The new place is cheaper only $10 a month and it is for your average Joe. No body builders allowed! They have so many different machines and my favorite, the treadmill. I can walk and walk and keep on walking till I drop and it doesn't matter how cold it is outside!
This month I am going to really take care of me and make some changes so I feel better physically and emotionally. I am going to try and change my habits and keep them going. This week I started going to the gym every day. Last month I only went a couple times a week. Some days it is only for an hour and I just take a vigorous walk, but I feel so much better after. I listen to music and work out things in my head while I walk. I have slept so much better this week because of it.
I have seen a lot of people doing the weekly weigh ins and something called fitness pal. Maybe I will jump on the band wagon.
