busy

I've been so busy the last few days, I've had no time to post!  I keep thinking of all of these things to write about.  Last night, I was sure that I have 2-3 posts in me, and now as I sit here, I can't remember all of the things I wanted to say! 

Lets see....

weight update:  weight loss sort of stalled, plan to up the exercise a little bit

garden update:  garlic, cilantro, and lettuce all sprouted!  Plants are all filling out well and growing, except the cucumber.  Only 1/5 in ground cucumbers seems to be living, and the upside down one is doing well too.  The watermelon has grown a lot too.  I hope to see some fruit starting to grow soon! 

baby plans update:  none, really.  still waiting for follow-up appointment on 5/20.  starting to use the room that would have been the nursery for other things, sigh. 

Work and personal life is keeping me pretty busy.  Always so much to do.  Hopefully, my thoughts will return to me soon.

    Thank you so much for your comment. It means so much to me. It's hard to go through all of this, but it's nice to know that it's "normal" and I'm not going to end up in a padded room with a straight jacket. Although....
    I hope you and your family are coping well since your brother passed. I've often thought of you and your situation. My heart goes out to you.
    Have a good day and lets enjoy it, we deserve it!

It's you!

"It's you!  I just know it!  You've lost some weight, it must be because of the morning sickness!" No, it's not me.  I'm not pregnant. "But is HAS to be you.  Who else could it be?  You just don't want to tell because it is too early" No, really.  It's not me.  I promise.  I haven't cheated on my husband.   "Well, who else could it be?" Um, one of the other 20 teachers of child bearing age at this school.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I've guessed the other two pregnant teachers, before I even knew there were pregnant teachers at my school.  I have 'pregodar' (like gaydar, but for preggos) and really can sense the preggos around me.  I hadn't pegged a 3rd teacher, but I heard a rumor that there is a third when I started being hounded, and I think I have it figured out.  Its the one on her 3rd engagement and 3rd marriage in 5 years.  She's reaching the top of her realistic baby time, so it makes sense.

plugging along

There really isn't much to say at this point.  I'm plugging along, doing fine. Yesterday, I bowed out of a BBQ with B's family.  In May I mentioned BIL's ex and her "surprise" (planned) pregnancy.  One of the reasons for this BBQ was for BIL's birthday, and she decided to drive down to attend (she's still living 5-6 hours away).  She's like 26 weeks pregnant, and the thought of having to spend the day with her made me feel ill.  BIL isn't planning on living with her and the baby or marrying her, but will go visit often.  She is such an attention whore, I couldn't deal with her talking about the baby and flaunting the fact that she is still around because of it.  I've felt a little bit of a cold coming on, so I exaggerated it and stayed home.  I did end up throwing up my dinner, so I'm glad I didn't go. I felt a little guilty about skipping out on this, but I got over it quickly.  MIL was hoping that B and I would announce our

off with the crazies

Well, as expected, I had a pretty crappy Christmas.  Christmas eve was actually the best part.  We always celebrate on Christmas eve with my mom's side of the family.  That was actually fine.  Christmas day, not so much.  First, at my dad's side of the family lunch, I've never felt like such an outsider.  Christmas at the IL's started out fine.  BIL's dumb girlfriend decided to group each person's gifts in a pile, and we opened gifts one person at a time.  This took forever, and was kind of annoying.  For this group, we set up a gift exchange with B's brothers, so that we didn't have to buy for everyone.  I did the arranging for this, and think I did a good job.  I gave everyone opportunity to give input and include anyone else who was not included (didn't know if BIL's girlfriend was coming), compiled the responses, and sent out the information.  After all of that, B's brother went and got something for everyone, which really set me off.  Be
