Fern - Welcome back!
We missed you, too!
We're not really doing anything at all this cycle. I needed a break, and I've always said I don't want a December baby. That's what I'd get if I conceived this cycle, anyway! Haha. So it's NTNP this month. I haven't even really been temping, which was not my intention but it just fell by the wayside along with OPKs and the Soy Isoflavones as well.
I do try to stay positive even when I'm feeling a little run down. I always hope it will help keep all of us cheerful and motivated.
AFM --
My Easter weekend was rather chaotic. I'm going to tell you gals the story of my Easter Holiday. Settle in nice and comfy, because this is a somewhat long read!
My sisters and my mother are always doing everything last minute, and since I live about 2.5 hours away from them, last minute doesn't work for me. I had been asking Mom for a few weeks what she wanted me to bring for Easter, in terms of food. For all that time, she told me she didn't know yet and would tell me "later."
Then, on Friday, she casually says, "I was thinking of doing sandwiches at the park on Saturday afternoon. What do you think?" I said, "That's fine, hubby and I probably won't be up there in time for lunch, so you guys do whatever you like. I'll just let you know when we're on the road."
Well, we get to Mom's on Saturday afternoon and she says, "Where's the sandwich stuff I asked you guys to bring?"
Cue an argument over whether or not Mom asked me to bring anything, and she says, "I will pull up my text messages right now and prove it!" So she does. And falls silent. Because all she said to me despite my repeatedly asking her what she wanted me to bring was "I'm thinking of doing sandwiches at the park."
And there was a repeat of a similar issue with my sister! We had been discussing making an Easter basket for our Dad, and I had offered several suggestions as to what to include in it. My sister didn't like any of my suggestions, such as a new travel coffee mug, and said I could just give her some cash when we came up.
Friday morning she wants to know, "Did you get Dad that coffee mug?" What? No! You said all I needed to do was just give you cash to help pay for the other stuff!
And THEN Mom suddenly decides to tell us at 10:30pm that she doesn't have space for us to sleep at her house unless we want to set up our air mattress on the kitchen floor. And "You should have brought blankets. I don't have any". Except I know for a fact she has a whole linen cupboard full of them... By then it was too late at night to get a hotel reservation, we couldn't exactly drive back home to grab stuff or sleep there....
DH and I were pretty irked over that. My sister lives IN TOWN and could have easily just gone back to her house 5 mins away to sleep there with her kids, but it was DH and I that got the short end of the stick when we drove almost three hours to be a part of the festivities.
I was really, really frustrated. I spend the whole month of March asking what I need to bring up for Easter, how many people are coming, sleeping arrangements, etc. and for 29 of those 30 days, she says, "I don't know, it's too early to tell!"
I said, "Mom, if you want me to bring stuff, you need to say, 'Please bring ___' or else I don't know you want me to bring stuff. If you don't have enough blankets OR the room to house us all, you need to say so! We would happily have gotten a hotel room so that the grandkids could all sleep at your house!"
Additionally, my sister goes into "not my job" mode the moment she's at Mom's house, and lets her kids run wild. She has a 6mo old daughter and always tells someone else to tend to the poor girl whenever she cries. She lets the toddler run amok, climbing stuff, digging holes, throwing dirt, etc. and seems to think it's someone else's responsibility to tend to the guy, when our Mom and Sister and Me are cooking, cleaning, and prepping for Easter dinner in other rooms of the house.
Needless to say, I got very little sleep over the weekend and was run ragged trying to corral 2 toddlers and 2 older boys, while also cooking, cleaning, and trying to visit with my Dad, whom I haven't seen since October.
When we got home last night I pretty much dropped our luggage just inside the front door and went straight to bed. haha
I told DH that if he wanted to just automatically get a hotel room every time we go up there from here on out, that was fine by me. Especially if it was a hotel with a hot tub on the premises. lol
