6 months already??

     It was 6 months ago yesterday that I saw that elusive postive test. 6 months.  It seems like it was just last month.  I think I have grown some since then. This month marks 4 years of trying. 4 long years. I cant believe that I could have a 3.5 year old if we had gotten pregnant on that first cycle. That just blows my mind. I know it will be all worth the wait, im just tired of waiting. I think I have done my fair share.

     I have made some great friends because of the loss. Some I hope that I never have to do without. I hate the way we were brought together, the common-ness of lossing what we longed for the most. But, we are together, slowly pushing through. I am glad I have them in my corner. I really don't know what I would do without them.

Lent.. A Little Early

     While I was sitting around this morning, running late as usual, I stopped to think about what goes on in my day. I then realized that Facebook is a HUGE part of my day. This is my last semester of College and I have so much going on right now with the house, dogs and work. I have no reason that I cant get all of it done. But I can't seem to stay off of Facebook. (I started using it as a verb, and that right there in my mind is very very wrong!!).
     So I am going to start Lent a little early this year- okay, lets be honest, its the first year I have ever done it. Better late then never right? So starting on Monday, Febuary 28th, I am going to be giving up Facebook until April 15th. I will let myself have Sundays "Off" and rejoin my life line. I am NOT giving up the internet, because I do need it for school. Just the addicting world of Facebook

What will I do with myself if I have no new feed to refresh 100x a day?? I might actually get some progress on the 2 quilts I have kind of started. Or maybe even find time for longer walks with the pups or exercise.. I think I will be a better person for it. Have you thought about what you are giving up for Lent this year??

So overwhelmed..

Have you ever felt so overwhelmed, that you just can not do anything? I am totally at the point right now. I know I have so much to get done, but I just cant. I need to get out of this funk, it really sucks.  I have about a month left of my first bi-term class. Its my Spanish class that I have put off, for well, this is my last semseter. I have about 4 chapters to read for a test that I was supposed to take last week, but I was unable to get to class. I have another chapter assignment, and a test for that same class to study for. What have I been doing? Playing on Frontierville.

We are also starting back our infertility treatments this month. I forgot how wonderful the medicines make you feel.. haha, that was totally a joke.

I just wish I knew what to do to get out of this thing I am going through. I need to clear my head, but I know I need to do all my homework first.. its like a never ending cycle.. my own personal hell.
