Quick Takes

I had another cycle rev yesterday...and my levels were still good.  We discussed using LD.N now...which my dh and I are going to agree too.  I just hope I can handle it. Eeek.  The dr also wants me to try the Fem.ara again. I took one dose last cycle and I had stomach pains and hot flashes the next two days.  I was not going to keep taking that.  I quit.  I have to work with at risk pre-k kiddos.  If my game is not on...they will take advantage. *sigh*.  Sometimes job duties will overtake IF duties.  It is what it is.

Speaking of my career...I'm almost 90% positive I won't be teaching next year. I know...sad.  After the cycle rev the nurse asked "Are you stressed?"  Ummm...Yes!  It's not helping me or my body.  I am researching and looking into becoming at D.T (Dev. Thera.pist) for my state's earl.y inter.vention program.  I have a friend that does that and she loves it.  I will have to work hard but I'm pretty sure it won't be as stressful as teaching.  With this whole holding teacher's accountable thing going on...more stress will be coming.  Lot's of contemplating and praying going on to make this next BIG decision.  I'll miss having my summer's off but if the rest of the year is a ball of stress...is it worth it?  That is the question.

My dh is a poo pooer.  He's so skeptical about the whole TTC'ing thing.  He's busy.  He doesn't want to deal with it anymore.  I get it.  I do but I somehow hang onto that glimmer of hope.  Too many dr's and too many meds and too many years later have led us to have two cats and each other.  We are happy with our lives ( and adore our kitties)...and will be if no child comes from this new protocol we are trying.  I love my dh dearly and he has supported me in everything...I just think now he's ready to just move on and let it all go. :(

My brother is continuing to do well with his boys.  He's busy!  It's not easy raising two children by yourself while maintaining a full time job.  Maybe this summer, he'll bring them out this way.  I guess my soon to be ex-SIL still has supervised visitations....she's still a threat of running with the boys. 

One of my close friends has decided to give up on her own custody battles...her ex is an as.s.  Simply put.  My friend has M.S. and she can't handle the stress.  She's going to let it all go and see what happens.  My parents are best friends with her ex's parents so there are some strange twists to this drama. 

I need to watch what I eat and get exercising.  I'm just so tired when I get home....I nap..then get something quick for dinner before I have to get to the work I took home.  It never ends.  I was told after my last surgery that  I have inflammation...I really do need to watch my diet.  The LD.N should help with that too.

I had a woman's health check up a few weeks ago(I haven't had one in three years)...all is well.  Thank God!  She tested for infection and it came up neg.  I have a mam.o.gram next Fri.  I haven't had one yet.   I don't feel any lumps so I'm really hoping and praying nothing is found.

Well...it's almost the Lenten Season...I'm going to work hard at praying the Rosary and working on my anti-inflam.matory diet...it's a good time to give up things I shouldn't be eating right?  I'll miss chips.   The Lord has given me so much...I can sacrifice snacks for Him.  He is good!

St. Anne pray for us!!!!
