Joys In My Life

Which is good, I guess as I think rabbits are really cute. Mice on the other hand, I'm finding freak me out. I actually saw one bold and brazen in my pantry last night going after the bait box Terminix left two days ago. He had a friend that was dead yesterday morning in my kitchen from eating the poison in the bait box. Terminix thought we probably only had one. I believe there was more than two, as the bait box was not in the same position as my DH left it last night. When I saw the mouse in the pantry, DH got his heavy gloves on and picked up the bait box when it was inside and dumped him out in the yard. I wonder who is left. I'm just getting sick of cleaning up mouse turds. I swear they are all over my kitchen. It seems to have gotten worse before it gets better. I hope this one ends soon. On the no rabbits dying, my temp dropped today. No need to do OPK. AF will be here soon. I'm not really thinking it's important for that to work anyway. Now that o...

I'm due for AF on Saturday, as I'm currently 12 DPO. I'm not seeing anything terrific in my chart that is telling me I'm pregnant, like that triphastic chart we all hear about. I'm just kind of holding steady. We'll see what happens tomorrow. I do have 3 HPTs that I moved to the new house, so I'm debating on testing tomorrow if my temps don't drop. I might as well, considering they may expire by the time I see something that would really make me feel like testing.

Great morning! Woke up in new house, on floor, but happy. Took shower in new 5'x5' shower in master bathroom and got dressed in the one work outfit I brought over last night. Woke up Phoebe and we got her together and we all ate breakfast in our new kitchen on the new counter stools we bought in Philadelphia this weekend. We ate on the new dishes we bought on sale at the mall yesterday that match the decor of our new kitchen. The old dishes are still at the old house and I think will be going to Goodwill. They are Corelle dishes we bought when we first got married over 11 years ago. Drove to work/Phoebe's school on our new commute. Beautiful country roads the whole way. While we were driving in "Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney and Wings! My favorite song of all time!!! Yeah, I'm a little odd, so Phoebe had to listen to me sing at the top of my lungs, poor kid. I think she likes it too. Well I need coffee right now. I'm at work, and have lot...

I can't wait to get back to the joys as part of Joys In My Life. Here have been some of the joys: Making Valentine's with Phoebe. We used good stock red cardboard paper, white paper doilies, and glitter glue. Lots of fun. We've always bought the V-Day packages like "Disney Princesses, Spongebob, etc. I wanted to make our own as Phoebe loves to do crafts. We had a great time, and she loved how they turned out. Singing a lulluby to Phoebe on request. I sang "Bizzare Love Triange" more Frente's version than New Order. Helping Phoebe move her Bitty Baby toys/furniture to her first playroom in the new house. They were all in her bedroom in the old house. Got my central vacuum kit for the new house and vacuumed the family room. It's pretty cool. Had garage door openers installed in new house Had two house showings today, one currently scheduled for tomorrow. Seem to have made a new friend at the kitchen appliance store. We're having drinks t...

Sorry I haven't been around. We signed on the house on Friday and I'm feeling a little bit depressed about it. It's such a let down that we aren't moving our furniture and stuff in right away in order to try to sell our house sooner rather than later. We stayed overnight on Friday night. Tom's parents came over to the new house that afternoon and stayed until late. Our friends K&G came over for a drink. Considering K's condition, I told her it was BYOO (Bring Your Own O'Douls). We stayed at the old house Saturday night as it was snowing here on the east coast. We got about 12 inches overnight and shoveled the old house to make sure we're ready for any appointments. The Saturday appointment didn't seem to show up and the Sunday appointment canceled. Disappointed about the Sunday appointment especially as it was our first repeat visit. We haven't had many appointments during the week. They've mostly been on Friday, Saturday, and S...

I have the most fabulous news ever, so you'll have to excuse by wine-blogging. I can't call it "beer-blogging" like "beer-goggling," as I don't touch beer with a ten foot pole. Remember our best friends K & G where K had a miscarriage last month? Well, she's pregnant! She called me last night saying that she's been taking her temps this past month as I instructed her and wanted to know how long they should stay high, as she'd been high for 18 days. I told her to take a test in the morning and let me know. During the day, I was going crazy with anticipation. I called her on her cell and left a message for her to call me on her break. She did and told me it was positive and she'd had the doctor do a blood test and it was over 700! I told her that was fabulous. She didn't know how fabulous. I think she's in shock. So I have a question for my fellow secondary infertiles out there. Are you happy when friends and family have been tr...

Well yesterday afternoon, Spot left and her owner Aunt Flo showed up. I'm doing OK. It's probably for the best as I'm going to need to pull my weight in the moving aspect as Tom's really busy with work and school. I'm really happy that I didn't have any lower back pain in my PMS symptoms this month. So there's another PMS symptom that I've successfuly gotten rid of. I'm thinking at this point, I'd like to go back to the same acupuncturist I was seeing before, and have her check me out and put me on whatever herbs she thinks I should be on at this point. I don't have the time to go to the acupuncturist weekly, so I'd have to make it biweekly or monthly at this point, but just to get me on the right herbs. I'm not as happy with my chart temps this month. I ovulated on Day 14 (I think, I overrided FF's Day 17), but my temps didn't jump up as high as they used to. We'll see what happens this month. On the other side, n...
