Why does...

  This season always seemed rushed?? Today we are having Thanksgiving with my parents. Danny started Day shift today for the next 2 months, not cool. So right after he gets home and changed we will be on our way! My first Pumpkin pie is done and cooling, green bean casserole is ready for the oven when we get there and deviled eggs are ready.  Hope the pie tastes good LOL it doesn't look pretty.. I need to find a new crust recipie.. its just never enough OR maybe I should use it all instead of cutting it in half like it says to do.

I've been super tired and sluggish lately I just can't get going.. Unless I'm in a rush then its go, go, crash. I think Its the Lupron. I get little headaches here and there and hot flashes and then I'm so tired. It will be worth it in the end.. I know that for sure. One thing I'm worried about that never dawned on me until a few weeks ago.. What if this works and I get pregnant with twins and something happens and I can't work?? We'd be totally screwed.. i've never applied for any insurance thru my work.. and the offer things like short and long term disability. Ugh.. and open enrollment has passed. I'm at a loss! I don't know what to do.. also I want to take time off after Transfer so i'm not jostling things around.. but I have to take it off at the time of retrieval too. I think I'll take 2 weeks and have to call it good! Ugh.. so much to think about.

I have my appt wed and will start stimming shortly after that! Getting close.. and praying everyday that this will work.


I think I might take a nap.. before Danny gets off at 3.

PS: I finally am below 230.. Now I will totally ruin that this evening haha.

Day 12 and 13!


Sorry been pretty tired after work.. when I should be working out.. I need to ditch the lazy bug somewhere or give it to someone else.. cause i'm done with it!

 Day 12 - List 5 pet peeves.
Lets see.. For those of you who KNOW me.. this is my biggest one. Ever.
I HATE Repetitive  motive... if you are tapping your pencil..  I will grab it and tell you to stop.. anything moving, poking prodding me or around me will be thwarted! I blame my brother.

2. Dirty windshields.. they drive me insane I will wash a window 50 million times to get a bug smear off. So I waste the heck outta washer fluid :)

3. My forgetful brain..  I can literally walk out of a room and forget what I was going to do.. and stand there forever trying to think of it.. then I go back to previous room.. and remember what I was going to to do or get.

4. My cats.. yes I love them.. but sometimes they drive me up a wall!! With all the hand, foot butting for attention and Volts not stop meowing!

5. A sink full of dishes.


 Day 13 - List 5 guilty pleasures.

Hmm..

1. Ben and Jerry's Cheesecake brownie ice cream.. OMG YUM.

2. Fishing out on a  lake.. so quiet and peaceful :)

3. Baking. I love Baking

4. Gardening and playing in the flowers!

5. Jason Aldean.. Yes.. he is :)

In fact.. I'm going to go bake some cookies... the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookies EVER. And my mom is confusing me.. And I'm GOING to go back to school if it kills me... or a car due to commuting.

Sunburn...

I got sunburnt yesterday.. Not too bad tho.. just enough to bug me with the bra I'm wearing!!! My mom and Dad came down and help us tear down pesky weeds.. that cause my allergies.. yesterday My eyes we horrible..I'm pretty sure I have diagnosed myself with allergic conjunctivitis... Not pretty.. But basically the allergies give me 'pink eye' but in a non contagious way.. only to myself and other eye ball.. JOY!

Who should I go see.. my GP or eye Dr? Hmm.. 30 bucks or 50? I think i'll call my GP and make an appt I'm miserable...Today.. *knock on wood* they arent as bad.. but my throat hurts and my ears itch.. from sinus drainage.. BOO.

I'm tired and want to do nothing but sleep... Thank god it Friday.. Since I only have one day off with Danny now.. (They changed his days to Sunday Monday) Tuesday I'm going to attempt Menu Planning!! I found a nifty website that will hopfully help!

www.dinnertool.com

It seems easy to navigate and plan! And you can make grocery lists on it!! Also I think I will bake on Tuesday.. Like making homemade bread :) and Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies~!! A Recipie I found in a Halloween cook book :)

I'm ready for fall.. Hence the baking of Cookies and Bread haha! Cooler weather.. I can handle Low 80s and 70s... the 90s and above are getting old!!

Ugh.. Danny should hurry up with my lunch I made him go get Subway :) Plus he needs to get fixing the car!!! I like the truck and thank god we have it.. Or we'd be screwed! Also.. I'm anxious I have to call Dr.R on monday to see whats up :) .. And i'm getting sidetracked hahah So i'll stop for now!!
