All About Me #1

Jessica from From Marriage to Motherhood proposed a great idea to do an About Me series w/ 30 questions/prompts. I decided to jump in!

List 20 random facts about yourself.

1. I am usually sitting with my legs crossed in a chair. I HATE sitting with my legs on the floor. My legs are short and it hurts my knees. 
2. I bring lots of food to work and rarely eat it. 
3. I cannot stand the sound of chewing! Not my chewing, but if people around me are chewing. 
4. I am a hypochondriac. 
5. I wish my body was see through.
6. When falling asleep I have to have the TV on a certain channel (Nick at Nite) on certain TV shows (Everybody Loves Raymond, Roseanne, King of Queens) or sports. If it is on something I havn't seen or a movie I will stay up and watch it. The volume also has to be loud enough so I hear something, but cant make out the words. Drives my husband NUTS! 
7. I am a VERY light sleeper. If I fall asleep before my husband he cannot change the channel because if he does before I am in REM sleep then I wake up. I wake up to roll over. I wake up a lot. 
8. My dad died when I was 14 so I panic if I call my mom or husband and they dont pick up.  
9. I prefer sitting on my couch, snuggled with my husband and dogs then going out. 
10. I HATE doing laundry. Well more like I hate folding or putting away laundry. 
11. I wear the same two pieces of jewerly everyday - my wedding ring and my celtic cross necklace Michael got me from Savannah
12. I keep going back and forth between would I want to be a teacher or nurse when "I grow up"
13. i critique parents and how they raise their children.  
14. I am not a fan of breakfast foods.
15. I HATE eggs.
16. I hate blow drying and straightening my hair bc it takes so long but I hate my hair wavy (its so big!). 
17. I cannot seem to keep my closet or car clutter free to save my life. But my husband's closet and car are always clean. I dont get it. 
18. I wish I could work part-time. 
19. I have no ambition to climb the corporate ladder or create new things. 
20. I want one thing in the world that I cant seem to get - motherhood. 

Time for margaritas

I know I have been MIA its because I have been doing another cycle and didn't wanna post details in case it went well because we are not going to tell anyone until we are 100% know we are in the clear. Well...me posting means no good news. Our FIFTH round has ended in NO pregnancy! I had every damn symptom in the book and I was convinced it was finally our time. Timing on everything would of been perfect...but no...why the hell would we get what we want. We had to wait TWO DAMN MONTHS before trying again and it was a super long cycle bc my body wouldnt respond to the medicines and no nothing... its just not fair. I just cant understand why us. Whats even more frustrating is it seems I am surrounded by pregnancy and babies.

Nurse said we would try clomid one last time, but I dont want to. I want to move onto to stronger meds bc I do not respond great to Clomid. I am just SUPER frustrated and feel like this will never happen for us.

October 15

I know...I am a day late. I didn't even really know what yesterday was. But yesterday (October 15) was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day. Back in October I suffered an early miscarriage. While it was heartbreaking I know women who have been through so much worse then me. I pray everyday that was my one and only miscarriage. But only God knows that and I have to stop trying to control it.

Fab Friday

I have decided to link up w/ Laura for Fab Friday!

Here are the fab things going on this week:

• Michael and I celebrated one year of marriage on Tuesday Oct. 9th. We enjoyed a nice dinner out and well that was about it. He did get me a new charm for my Pandora bracelet.
• We are going to Pigeon Forge this weekend for our anniversary. We got a cabin and are looking forward to a couple days of doing NOTHING. No work, no school (I am in between classes), hopefully no phone calls. We do not have to be anywhere at any specific time. We can do whatever we want!
• I think I got B's in both my classes - maybe an A in one instead of a B
• My parents are getting the itch to buy a mountain/lake house again. My stepdad had one for a long time, but after it was broken into he decided to sell it to some developers. That was before the bug bust. 
• I am excited for our weekend trips to Savannah and New York coming up!
