I actually slept in. Like, I didn’t wake up when the kids did or when DH got up with them. I slept through all of that and woke up on my own, instead of to screaming/fighting, at 8AM! I’m not tired. This is such a weird feeling. Lol
We’re having brunch with a friend from high school today, her family, and her H’s sister’s family. I’m looking forward to seeing all of them and meeting her new baby.
Y’all. It is a momentous day! We are having a family dinner tonight with MIL and BIL because BIL IS MOVING OUT! (He informed me the other day that it has been 16 months, in case anyone was wondering.) I’m getting my house back! I can walk around in my underwear, without a bra, and make out with my husband on the couch to initiate sex instead of ruining it by asking and going upstairs. I won’t have to work around anyone in the kitchen and when I clean the kitchen it won’t get dirty again even though I haven’t used it since I cleaned. I can go down to my basement to get stuff without knocking or wondering if he’s asleep. I’m very excited.

I started taking magnesium before I go to bed a few days ago and it has made a massive difference in my sleep quality. I actually feel like getting up in the morning instead of snoozing 5x and feeling like garbage.
Today E and I are going ice skating, then headed to a friend's house for game night.

My car is having issues starting and I have to call my mechanic in the morning and take it in again. I had my park neutral switch fixed last month so now I'm having deja vu. I have so much car anxiety and I drive an old car. Bad combination. So I'm stuck at home. My H is working all day. I've texted three families about a playdate here this afternoon and no response. My kids are going to be so bored.
I took the kids to swim lessons today. I’m glad they went because she is teaching them strokes and they are terrible at them. DS can swim but DD is still in the emerging swimmer category. I was super mad because the swim teacher left with DS and DD was not on the wall and can’t touch.
She was struggling so I ran over there thinking I had to pull her out then sat right next to them the whole time. She did just fine swimming on the other side so now I can’t figure out if I was over reacting. The teacher also stayed closer to DD later on and DD was by the wall later on. I just thought it is their job to evaluate their level and make sure they are safe before taking off with another student. I feel like the people in the class next to us were alarmed, but the lifeguard didn’t move. She made it to the wall on her own.
Ugh. Not a good start. Our garage fridge broke down. We mostly use it for storing frozen stuff and it's a hot mess. Plus going to have to buy another one $$$. It's just one thing after another after another.
I have my first monitoring appointment this morning for my IVF cycle. I can feel my ovaries working overtime, but I’m just nervous. You never know how many follicles you’re going to get. They upped my meds this time around so I’m hopeful we have more than a few.
It’s my birthday! Woke up at 6:30 am when the baby cried and then the dog peed in the hallway. Fortunately the day is getting better! H and the boys ran out and came home with flowers, cards, and a balloon, and they gave me the Ring doorbell I asked for. We are now heading to the zoo and a walk by the lake.

Sending good thoughts your way joenali. We are on day 9 of vacation and it is raining, so we are going to Toy Story 4. The first time the kids have been to a movie with recliner seating. They are beyond excited.
Not sure if we will go home Saturday or Sunday. We have debated DH flying home and kids and I staying another week, but then I'd be doing the 16hr drive alone.
I've been awake and functional for nearly 2 hours now. I have already washed all of the dishes, purchased a ton of uniform clothes at Old Navy and have made DS' camp lunches for the week. I'm never this productive on a Sunday morning. DH & I are going out of town on Thursday, so I'm trying to get as much accomplished today as possible because I always wait until the last minute and stay up way too late the night before we leave. DS is already bouncing off the walls, so I'm sure we'll go out and about at some point today. He really wants to go to Target and "spend some of my OWN money" so we may just do that a little later today. I'm WAY behind on my online class, so I really should take him to my ILs for a little while (DH is OOT) to get ahead of that before our trip, but I hate to ask them to do that even though they love having DS at their house. My H never thinks twice about it, but I'm always careful not to abuse this luxury.
We’re at my parents lake house and had a party yesterday. I’m not sure when we’re headed home, part of me wants to stay and part of me wants to head home to get things done before heading back to work after a week off. So right now we’re sitting watching the soccer game to postpone making any decisions.
We’ve had such a great vacation in Red Lodge so far. H and I have done 2 great hikes and did a 2 hour out, 2 hour back horseback trail ride yesterday. It’s so beautiful out here. Today is our last full day so I plan on resting my sore behind, lol. And while it’s been great, I’m ready to go home. I only have 14 days of work when I get back!

H and I agreed today would be a low-key day. I’ve gone to church, done a load of laundry, replaced batteries in DS’ toys, washed windows and dusted our bedroom. H got up at 9 and watched soccer. He doesn’t have pants on. He will mow the lawn later, but is totally relaxed now. Here is the difference between us. I wish I could do the same.
My teething baby is making me slow down, though. Currently stuck under him while he snoozes.
4 on the right with several not quite ripe yet. Another 4 on the left with about 14 measuring not quite ripe. But I do have a cyst on my left ovary that may get in the way of the others growing. They drained it at my last egg retrieval. Overall I think this was better than my last cycle. Still not quite sure why to think though.

joenali those seem like good numbers to start. Hopefully that cyst gets out of the way!
I started my IVF meds last night. This is our first IVF cycle (we’ve done other medicated cycles and IUI). I’m all over the place with thoughts and feelings. I think I need a nap.
It only took me 37.75 years and a huge decrease in pay but I've finally found a job that I actually truly LOVE. Like..... a LOT!!! I work in dog/cat rescue and it is so crazy rewarding. I love it.

The rescue I volunteer with had a position open recently and I was so tempted to apply. But the weekend commitment was too high and the pay cut was too much. I'm glad you found a position that worked for you!
I love DH and DS so much. But today they are driving me bonkers. Like there's not a thing they can do right currently. Clearly I need to get out of house by myself for a bit lol.
My mom is coming home from rehab after her emergency brain surgery a little over a week ago. She is getting around great and seems like herself. It’s really odd to think she has brain cancer and will be doing chemo and radiation soon. Luckily my dad can help her at home but neither he or my brother are very articulate or able to follow medical stuff so I’ve had to take care of all this stuff and then explain it to everyone which is stressful.

Good luck! It’s such a mix of emotions ... sending you lots of happy ovaries thoughts
