This is my last night, this is my last night, this is my last night.
This has been the week(s) from hell. I can't catch a break. I had premature contractions (again!!!) this evening before work. We have exceeded our patient-load but I feel bad waking our manager because she'll need to help day shift. I love my patients to pieces but I need to slow down. I feel like I've been choosing my patients over my own baby by pushing myself so hard, not eating, and not drinking enough fluids
This has been the longest four day work week ever. I had 130 students stay after school yesterday and it was insane. I am also not feeling great at all, and there's a nasty virus going around. I would love a mental health day, but I don't feel like I can take any days this month. I feel like my house is a mess, and I need to dejunk/organize, and I need to catch up on work stuff too. Throw in not feeling great/being exhausted every day and two grad classes, and a week off right now would be fantastic.
The sun is actually supposed to shine all day today! It's either been rainy or cloudy all week, so I'm so happy to see the sun.
We're bailing on my family dinner tomorrow night, but it's because some friends are having some people over and we can never coordinate our schedules to actually get together. I only feel slightly bad about bailing.
My sister is going through a lot right now, and we work together, so being with her all day, puts me in a shitty mood. I feel REALLY bad for her, but she also doesn't do a whole lot to change things, so it's just hard to deal with. And with her, it's always something, day after day, month after month, year after year. TGIF!!
We don't have a whole lot going on this weekend, and I am so glad!! I love just lounging around. It has also been about 5 degrees cooler this week, so it has been so nice!! I hope to get outside a bit.
jjwritergirl- Good luck getting everything done before you leave today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
I'm exhausted today...this week has been so long and emotionally draining. Even so, I am pushing myself to get my to-do list done because I know that if I don't, it won't get done and we have a crazy busy weekend again (class all day tomorrow and my dad cleaning carpets on Sunday). So far I went for a walk (and talked to my mom for an hour while doing so), washed our bedding and made the bed, have a load of laundry in process, am making banana bread, started prepping our food for tomorrow, vacuumed the whole house, and cleaned two bathrooms. Now all I have left is to shower, take a nice long nap, and mow the grass before DH gets home!
I hope you and your H get to enjoy a nice and relaxing weekend luv2rn4fun! You deserve it!
My random is annoying me today. It's mid October. I clean/sweep my floors multiple times a week. Why then, every single time I sweep, are there always two or three pine needles from the Christmas tree last December in the dirt pile? We take off our shoes right by the door so I don't think we're tracking them in. Where are they coming from??
We just got home from grocery shopping. Now I remember why I don't take DH with me food shopping. I spent more then I wanted to. Granted it was $269 before coupons and got it down to $166 after coupons. DH thinks that if I have a coupon it's ok to buy it no matter what the price was. It also took me a lot longer then usual. DH slowed me down big time. At least it's done.
I'm going out tonight to paint pottery for the very first girls' night I've had in years! I think it has been maybe 6+ years since I've done anything even similar.
It's a bit expensive (though I haven't been before - so from my current perspective), and I am really not interested in the theme/item we will be painting (it's some pre-planned thing), but it's worth it to get out and do something different for once.

Had a monitoring appointment this morning and the nurse just called with bloodwork results. They're bumping up my gonal-f for the next 2 nights, then triggering Sunday night for Tuesday IUI. My estrogen level decreased since Wednesday though, so she thinks I'll only have 1-2 mature follicles. Right now I have one at 14, 13.8, 13, 11.1, and 9.8.
In non-ttc news, DH worked from home this morning and is now at his dad's retirement party. My FIL has worked for the same company for 40 years and now is retiring so they can travel with their trailer.
Party tonight, friends over for dinner tomorrow night, Sunday we rest!

DH has been so grumpy this week. He says it's because he is over loaded and sick of being home by himself ALL the time. I try to help out with what I can and I'm sorry that he is home 24/7 but it's not like I can't not work.(does that even make sense? lol) I'm trying to make plans for my B-day next week and he is being an ass about it. I'm all yay lets go out and get cocktails and catch up with friends, and he is all great idea I'll probably just sit at home with the kids. I always celebrate my B-day it's important to me I love getting to see every one. DH forgot about my B-day last year. I was pretty bummed. He is mad that I'm "dragging him to a bar" he is also irrationally irritated that I asked him to call his parents to see if they could watch the girls. My in-laws have babysat like maybe 4 times in the past 6 years. it's always my parent that watch the kids and they don't particularly mind but I kind of wanted my parent to come hang out too. plus my folks are keeping them over night on Saturday for my Halloween party.
Woah that got too long
abridged version: Dh is being an a hole about celebrating my B-day next week
anyastroud I'm sorry you H is being a party pooper. I agree with jjwritergirl and call your ILs yourself. If your H continues to be an a hole, I would leave his butt at home and you go out and have fun with friends for your birthday.
I was going to vent about my job but the more I think of it my schedule change won't be too bad. I currently work three 12 hour shifts, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays. The board of directors are changing the EMT shifts to 18 hour shifts. I was pissed off when I got the phone call earlier but after talking to my mom she made me realize it may be kinda awesome. Since I have seniority I picked to work Tuesdays and Thursdays. The hours will be 7am-1am. I am full time, which is 36 hours, and will only have to work 2 days a week. Maybe I will even get a part time job to make a couple extra bucks.
There's not much interesting on the horizon here. We're supposed to go to a get-together on Sunday, but my H has a sore throat and feels like he's getting a cold .

Blue Moon- Thank you! Unfortunately, it's another busy weekend. We have childbirth class all day (8:15-5:30 and it's a good 45 min away) and our carpets being cleaned on Sunday. Hoping to get some rest on Sunday though...if not next weekend is definitely going to be low key!
How strange that you are still finding pine needles! Hope that you solve the mystery soon! And, I'm impressed that you clean/sweep your floor multiple times per week...I'm lucky I get to it every week but realistically it's every other week.
@emtmissy- LOL! I can totally relate! DH loves to do all shopping together and I dread it, especially our Costco trips! He likes to look at everything and we end up spending way more than if I had just gone by myself. Luckily, I do nearly all the grocery shopping (minus our random Walmart trips) by myself...much faster and cheaper this way!
ginkgoleaf- Wishing you all the best with this IUI cycle! Praying for a BFP!!!
anyastroud- Sorry your DH is being lame about your birthday! I hope he steps it up soon or at least changes his attitude so that you have a wonderful time celebrating! It's not like you are even asking him to plan anything (you have already done all the work there) so he really should just call his parents for childcare and put on a smile and enjoy the evening with you!
jjwritergirl- Hope your DH gets on it too and you have a wonderful night out! You two deserve it!!

It seems there must be a new breast cancer "awareness" thing going around. I assume that because 2 people posted something about pretending they're a slug or something. Same thing word for word. Anyone else hate these things? How does this raise awareness of anything other than the person being weird?
@emtmissy- I do 14 hrs and DIE! GL with 18 hrs. (Our laws do not allow us to work any longer then 16 here.)
We can do up to 24 hour shifts but they prefer us not to. Those kill me. Unlike most of my partners, I cannot sleep at work. No matter how hard I try it doesn't happen. Luckily we have to have a day off between shifts over 12 hours. The new schedule doesn't start until November. I still have to tell DH about the change. At least I will get to see him more during the week.

Oh man, I cannot imagine a 24 hour shift. The longest I've ever done was 19- that was pretty brutal, but I ended up having to do it because someone called in, so I hadn't planned on working it
Only having to work two days a week would be pretty sweet though!
