| Life is good...because we have EWCM! And this ain't just my imagination folks. DH thought I had gone a little looney the way I was stretching it between my fingers with this crazy grin on my face. It may be gross...but it makes me proud. And yes, its purely for my own enjoyment right now since we're not even trying. None the less, it still makes me giddy! |

| Worst Day Ever |
| I had to wake up at 5:25am to look for a sub job since I was unsuccessful last night. Once I was up I continued to check/click refresh every single second (no kidding) in the hopes that a job would become available, and that I would be able to grab it before anyone else. This insanity went on until 6:36am, when a 1/2 day job at the most ghetto high school in the district popped up on my screen. I grabbed it. It would be 1/2 day pay, a long drive, and a rough crowd...but it was better than nothing. I rushed through my morning routine and skipped breakfast with the intention that I would stop at the Starbucks down the street from the school. Once inside Starbucks, I became one of 12 people already in line. Damn. No way I was going to get my coffee and bagel and still be on time for work. I left empty handed. I arrived at the school and was walked to my classroom by the VP himself(still trying to figure out why). This was very, very, annoying. The bell rang and the students came in. This is where my day turned to pure HELL. I swear some of these kids thought they were on some trashy talk show. As soon as I asked them to get to work on the days assignment, a few "special little angles" began ranting and loosing their minds like rabid chimps. The profanity (and horrible grammar) that came out of their mouths would have sent my grandmother to an early grave. I have never met such disrespectful little brats. Had I had my morning coffee, they would all be dead. But I simply did not have the energy. I now thank my lucky stars that this is only a 1/2 day job. The bell just rang so I can finally get away from this effing dump of a school. Later. |

| Happy Birthday to me! |
So according to the online ovulation calender, I will be at "peak" fertility on my 26th B-Day this May. If that's not fate I don't know what is! It's just one more piece of evidence that yes, I shall get myself KTFU by June. :) The only downside...I may need to re-think my Birthday plans, and hmmmmmm... the 26 shots of Tequila may not be such a good idea. |

| I'm naughty |
What is it about unprotected sex that is so exciting? And since our "try" date is only a few months away, it is really tempting to trow caution to the wind now and then. You know? But whats odd is that we just happened to choose CD10...so its a possibility...
But Mrs.! You don't have health insurance yet, and you haven't saved up enough money, and you haven't taken your pre-baby cruise! And god forbid...you haven't started taking your prenatals!
I know, I know...that's why I freaked out a little afterward.
But it sure was fun while it lasted. ;) |

| Fail |
Of course I had to choose this week to start temping...the same week that I became (what I consider) deathly ill with some sort of cold/flu. So all of my temps are ridiculously high and completely useless, which is exactly how I happen to feel . I skipped work today, and slept in til noon, which did not really make me feel better, just isolated. Blah.
Today I learned that I will also have to take Friday off to re-interview for the same summer position that I have returned to for the last two years. BOOOO. Is is that they don't want me back? Or are they just on a power trip and trying to make my life more difficult? I hate it, but I don't have many options because I really need a paycheck during my summer break from teaching. And who else, but a summer camp, is going to hire someone for two months? Whats more, is that I will have less hours than last summer, and that my schedule will be totally lame.
I know, this is totally boring and depressing. I just really need to dig myself out of this rut. I need to party with friends, get more active, start a project...something!
I hate Janurary...and Feburary for that matter. |

| Welcome to the world! |
Sunday, at 12:05 am, I witnessed a gooey little miracle. My niece, Ella Jane, was delivered into this world while I stood in amazement. I am so thankful that my sis allowed me to stay in the room for the labor and delivery. I can honestly say that it was one of the most wonderful and educational experiences of my life. I spent most of Saturday and Sunday, and part of Friday, in the brand spankin new Kaiser L&D hospital where she delivered. It was great, not only is this place uber hi-tech and shiny new, but it's also only about a mile from my house. It would be a huge lie if I said that I wasn't super jealous of my sis right now. However, I have a pretty good feeling that I will be in the very same building sometime next year *wink*wink*
Oh ya, and DH managed to announce to the entire family (while visiting sis in her hospital room) that we would be having our own baby in about 12 mos...
Sis: "so that means you will be TTC this May?"
DH: "yep...the Mrs. will be ovulating May 18th!" (he actually said this to the entire family)
Sis: "on her birthday!"
Aunt: "well we won't be stopping by to wish you a happy birthday then... We wouldn't want to interrupt anything!"
::Mom's eyes bug out as she tries to keep herself in her chair::
I am actually happy that DH let the cat out of the bag...now I don't have to! |

| Ridiculously Regular |
That's right, and I'm not talking about poop here. AF is on a tight schedule...and she doesn't miss an appointment! Since I've started keeping track (about 3 mos. now) my cycle has been exactly 28 days. This makes the Mrs. very happy because it gives me hope that this whole TTC thing will be a big slice of cake. ::Jinxes herself, winces, and knocks on wood:: I even called the Mr. last night to announce her timely arrival. I don't think he fully felt my joy, but he did seem to understand how this "regularity" made his wife even more physically awesome than previously suspected. I reminded him how this will help our baby making efforts, and he liked that...although he never really doubted my ovaries in the first place.
Oh, and I would also like to add, that my Dr. once told me I had a "textbook cervix". Thank you...that will conclude my narcissistic gush fest. You may all gag yourselves now. |

| Go Jerry! Go Jerry! Go, Go, Go Jerry! |
Its been a while since I've "blogged". I guess its because I don't really feel like I have anything new to say. I have the same old complaints and the same inner turmoil as before. Every time I talk to my parents, I walk away fuming. I know I'm being overly sensitive, but the Mr. feels the same way, so I feel slightly validated.
Example: an unsavory tidbit from this weekend:
Dad: Look at this cool shark photo. (shows me a page in a magazine)
Me: Oh, is that in Australia? They have the most amazing wildlife.
Dad: You guys should go!
Me: Ya, I know, but we looked into it and it's super expensive.
Dad: Just buy a one way ticket and and then figure it out as you go!
Me: Ummmm...this aint the 70's Dad, how would we pay for food and hotels?
Dad: You would figure it out....you guys should really go before you have kids......(gives serious fatherly look)
At this point I get a huge lump in the back of my throat, and start giving Mr. the "lets get out of here" look.
What I don't understand is how he could feel so confident that we would have no problem "figuring it out" broke, and all alone, in a foreign country...but that we couldn't possibly handle raising our own child. As if there is pride in world travel, but to have a child right now would make us worthy of an episode of Jerry Springer. It is ridiculously insulting. Yet, once again, I begin to second guess myself. |

| Mark me tardy |
So I was late again today....oops. But only by a few minutes. And is a hard thing for subs to avoid because we have to wake up at a different time every morning, drive to a different school every day, and constantly deal with unfamiliar traffic and parking lot conditions. So when the secretary decides to be a complete bee-otch and gives me the annoyed (and overly dramatic) *sigh*, it makes me want to give her a round-house kick to the ear. Today was expecially fun because the V.P happened to join in on this hate fest. I believe she uttered "oh, my, my" with a dissapointed shake of the head. I felt like I was a student again!
The part that really gets my goat is that I am filling in for one of HER employees who decided not to show up for work today. So in other words, I am covering HER ass! How dare any staff member treat me like scum! I'm a substitute teacher for Gods sake! If I deserve anything, its a little support and understanding! Its amazing that I actually get more respect from my students than I do from the administration. I can't wait to be a SAHM.Labels: another vent |

| Home Alone |
| For the next week and a half Mr. is going to be leaving the house at 7am and not coming home until 1:30 am! No, I have not sold him to another woman...he is attending a construction certification program during the day, and working his construction job at night! Is is just me, or is this absolutely crazy? I tried to talk him out of working at night...but he rarely turns down work anymore since the economy took a nose dive. I guess he is right, but then why do I feel abandoned? I admire his drive... and I'm lucky to have a man who is willing to sacrifice for his family...but I'm throwing myself a pity party anyway. I plan on eating T.V. dinners, watching tons of cable reality shows and possibly knitting myself a scarf. So there! I'm going to become my divorced Grandma. And no one can stop me. |

| Hi ho, hi ho... |
it's back to work I go! Blah. I usually love my job but so far this week has been hell. I'm so bored that I began sending "contractive vibes" in the direction of my dear sis's house in the hopes she will go into labor so I have a good excuse to leave early. Subbing is great (or so you would think) because you have a ton of "down time". Usually I fill most of the school day screwing around on the internet or catching up on Hulu videos(I love you John Stewart)....but after about 4 hours staring at my laptop screen I begin to go a little crazy.
Yes, this has the potential to produce some very interesting posts...alas...I do not need any potential readers to loose faith in me so early in my blog career.
So I need to do some serious brain storming and come up with some awesome "time fillers" to get through the rest of the winter. Let me know if you have any ideas.
Oh ya, and I got about 3 hours of sleep last night. Between the Mr.'s snoring, the dog acting like he was going to puke, some seriously psychedelic dreams, and a major case of heartburn....it was an amazing night! Tonight, I am not taking any chances, I plan on washing down 3 Tylenol PM's and a large glass of wine by 8pm.
It would be just my luck if my sis decides to go into labor at 2am....better hold off on the wine.
<--The one for whom I am constantly on vomit watch.Labels: vent |

| Thanks Mom and Dad! |
...for reminding me that houses are really cheap right now! Really? You mean that right now is a good time to buy? Well let me get right on that! Thanks for the "news flash" Sherlock effing Holmes.
I tried (tried) to explain that #1 Yes we are aware. #2 We are currently saving money. #3 Just because something is on sale does not mean you should buy it and, #4 We are planning on having a baby before we buy a house. *Gasp*
Ok, maybe I forgot to mention #4.
But that's what I would have said if I wanted to take a trip to the ER that night.
Thanks for the confidence mum and dad! We can't wait to come over for "dinner" again real soon! |
