bad blogger

I'm a bad blogger.  

But, there really isn't much going on, which I guess is a good thing.  I'm working on getting my IVF meds for free/discounted.  

It's spring break for me, which is really nice. I've been really productive already.  I've done lots of gardening, and figured out my taxes.  <This year is extra difficult with my brother dying.>

We hosted Easter brunch yesterday, which went really well.  All of my food came out great. 

I went into work today on my break to get ready for when the kids come back and got a lot done.  A few of us went in and we worked together/for each other which was really helpful. 

I'm freaking out more and more about the upcoming 'events' in June.  I'm terrified of failure, almost to the point of not wanting to try.  I know I'll hate myself if I don't try, but there really is something to the, "If you don't try, you can't fail" thoughts.  I also know that if I don't try, I can't succeed, so that keeps me going.  

Other than that, I'm still plugging along, hoping to be rehired before the school year is out.  Wondering what on earth I can do to make money if I don't.  

I have a wine tasting trip planned with a few of my friends for later this week.  I also planned a night away for B and me in May.  It's hard to spend the money, but at the same time I feel a bit like I need to live in the now and enjoy myself.  Everything I'm doing is still really reasonable, cost wise, and will be loads of fun.  I like having things to look forward to.

    I think it's a great thing when not much is going on, and there isn't much to blog about. It is when I blog every day that I find myself having the most problems and the need to write about it. So, good for you for being okay right now!

    I hope that they offer you your job back soon. It is so hard to wait.

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
