Lucky

I am a very lucky person. One of the good points of my marriage besides having a wonderful husband is that fact that I have great in-laws. They are great people and we get along very well. We get together with Larrys family alot and usually have a great time.

Today I got home and this was waiting for me:
Yup a Curious George cookie. Isn't it cool? My mothe- and sister-in-law went to the bakery and saw this so they bought it for me. Gotta Love Them

Now should I eat it or save it? lol

Gloominess

Yes its that kind of day today. Its gloomy and rainy and not making me feel happy. It started early this morning before going to church. This morning we had to go to the dump first thing. It stunk. It was so awfully gross. Then we go to the bakery and my muffin was not good. I didnt like it. So then comes church. If you really know me, you know that it was only after I got married that I started going to church every sunday. I didnt grow up in the church so dont feel the need to go every sunday. Larry on the other hand did grow up in the church and feels the need to go every sunday. I feel that its my duty as his wife to go together. Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes I dont care, and sometimes it makes me sad.

Today was a sad day. The homily/sermon was about being a good mommy/daddy. My question is when am I going to get to be a mommy. Will I ever hear the sound of someone screaming "Moooommmmy". So while he is going on and on about whats a good mommy, blah blah blah, I get sadder and sadder. I think I can be a good mommy so my question is WHEN DO I GET TO BE A MOMMY? Thats what I want to know

Oh yeah and immigration rejected Larry's fingerprints so he has to get them redone a month from now. Isnt that just great

Update on the bloodwork. The nurse said that all my test came back within the normal range which means that at least we can say that those are not the cause of my problems. So another blood test to check for ovulation later this month. We shall see what happens.

Bad Blogger

Okay I am a bad blogger. I was doing so well and then I got swamped. Between work and school and home and all that, I just have enough time to check email and jump into bed. Its fun though. The job is going great and school is going well. I have certainly been busy though.

On the baby front, I had some blood work done on Monday. The nurse called today and said everything came back normal. What does this mean? I have no idea lol She called in between meetings so I didnt have much time to talk. I will call her again to see what that means. I was also supposed to try clomid again this month but I forgot to ask her about that too. It was a busy day today. But tomorrow is friday! Yay!

Life Is Good

Two In A Row

If you look right above this post you will see one of my tickers. Today its on cycle day 1. Yup thats right, I started another cycle on my own. Oh I wonder if it could be, could I finally be getting regular? That would be awesome. I'll be getting some bloodwork done on monday.

But with everyone of these cycles. I have horrible PMS. Just ask Larry:) He usually bears the brunt of it all. I can actually feel my mood swings come and go. Its kinda creepy. Lucky for me he is a wonderful man and tries to understand that I cant control most of it.

Adding to my PMS is the fact that Larry has been working like a madman. Tomorrow will be his 7th day in a row working. I get lonely. I dont ever remember lonely like this. But with him working so much, my new job and school I am really missing my husband. Hopefully it will all calm down soon and we can spend some quality time together.

Survived

I survived my first week at my new job. I love it. I absolutely love it. I have lots and lots of work but it keeps me busy and its good work. Now hopefully a relaxing weekend lies ahead.

Food for Thought

As many of you know, I now manage a Head Start center. The center has kiddos from 0-5. I was talking to my sister the other day and shes like 'I bet it will be hard for you being around the kiddos'. I must say it really isnt. The youngest is 6 months and the oldest is almost 5. We are getting a couple baby babies so that should be cool. I really like my new job and I enjoy playing with the kiddos when I get a chance. Today I ran into this quote and I think this is why I am so relaxed about all this:

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.-Jeremiah 29:11

I will take that to bed with me tonight.

Landfall

The storm has definitely made landfall. My new job is really cool. I like it so far. I have alot of responsibilities and tons of paperwork. Other than a trip to the ER for a little one's smashed finger (I really could have lived without that). It was an eventfull first day to say the least. The people are awesome and the kiddos are cute. I really think I will like it here. At least I hope I do. The only thing that sucks a little is that I go in at 730am and I am not a very good morning person. I better get used to it now. lol We shall see how the rest of the week goes.

The Calm Before The Storm

Tomorrow I start my new job. I am nervous but excited. I really think I am going to love it. I'll be really busy though. Wish me luck!

To relax, we bought this cool rocker. It was 40 bucks at Wal-Mart (I've never gotten something 50% off at Wal-Mart lol). Here's Larry taking a rest after the tough job of putting the chair together.
And here is Larry having what looks like a very serious conversation with Max. I wonder what they were discussing lol.
Are you wondering why I didnt get a picture on our brand new chair? Well its about 1000% humidity today so I was out there for about 30 seconds. Just long enough to snap a photo. Than back to the A/C for me. This humidity sucks.

Political Instability

I am very sad to see the political stability happening in Mexico. As sad as I am for us and what this means for our adoption plans. I am even more sad for the people of Mexico. This political turmoil keeps the people of Mexico from getting better services that they are entitled to. I really hope that the politicians stop to think about what this does to the people they are supposed to be representing.

What this does to our adoption plans? I do not know. Nobody really knows. All we can do is wait. We are getting rather good at waiting lol Gotta have faith I guess.

By the way, if you look on the bottom left hand corner of the page you can see that my counter has surpassed 1000 hits. Yay! Most of them are probably from me reloading the page to see how far along my counter is lol. So I know that somebody out there is looking at this page so leave me a message. It makes me feel special. You dont have to have a blogger account :)

Also this is my 50th post. As weird as it may sound this is a good outlet for me. Its very good therapy. I try to post my goods and my bads. If you are reading, I hope you are enjoying my life story lol

Good Relaxing Weekend

We had an awesome relaxing weekend at the coast for the most part. We were sad to see the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, even after a year rebuilding is nowhere near beginning. We hope to see the area return to its pre hurricane splendor.

On to the awesome relaxing weekend stuff. We stayed at the Beau Rivage, it was really cool. We were on the 21st floor and had a very nice view of the gulf. Here is a picture of our hotel at night:
Here is a view of the Gulf of Mexico from our hotel room. Its no ocean but its still cool.
And here we are walking on the dock by the beach. A really nice lady from Texas took our picture. It was a little cloudy and rainy but we survived.
Oh yeah we lost $7 at the casino. Big spenders we are.

On the way home we stopped at the outlet mall to do some shopping. It was some nice retail therapy. So I am ready for my last week at my current job and to start the adventure of my new job.

Life is good...

Yay for Long Weekends

I so needed this long weekend. I had originally planned to take fri-tues off but today I had to go to new employee orientation and I have to go again on tues. I still have the day off on monday. Tomorrow Larry has to work and I have some homework to do that I will do while he is working. Then on Sunday we are leaving to go here. I am so excited! I have never seen the Gulf of Mexico. It should be fun. I will make sure to take lots of pictures. Have a great weekend everyone!
