Nikki - Hope af misses you friday too! I'm glad you are able to relax for awhile. I sympathize with the bathroom remodel, we did our only one this summer and stayed at the in-laws for a week while it was redone. It always seems to cost more than you think. I hope you get a beautiful bathroom.
Al - That sounds like a great attitude. The puppy looks so adorable! I think looking at other things in your life and planning them definitely helps keep you busy. After getting a decent bike a couple months ago, I looked at a bunch of triathalons in the area and picked one I want to do. It was nice to plan things for myself, even if I don't actually end up doing them this summer. No spotting sounds promising. Hoping you get a bfp on Friday.
Lazydaisy - I hope the scan on Thurday shows everything is doing what it suppose to and the iui is a success!
omgbaby - Happy Birthday! I agree with Melann, definitely depends on the cat. We've had a couple of the most cuddly cats ever. We currently have some weirdo cats, but still love 'em
Hopeful - Thanks! If everything is good on friday I'll be ready to be official.
Profwife -
Sounds like a pretty awful day. Thoughts are with everyone who knew the person.
Thank you guys so much! I love being part of this supportive group. You guys have helped me so much since April. I really cannot wait until everyone gets their bfps. I really hope there are going to be some more in January!

@al335003 She's so cute! 
@ProfWife I'm sorry the witch showed. I really hope you have good levels again this time and that it's THE time. I'm sorry about the parent too. It's such a hard thing to have happen.

Hopeful2014 - THANKS! 
(they need to have a smiley eating cake!) No, I don't watch Teen Wolf! I should though, is it on Netflix? I didn't watch my shows last night!! Ahhh!! I need to do that as soon as I get home! Lol that's what I thought too, it's sad because it's not like the baby could say hey can you stop that?! I also thought it was crazy she requested a test and cigarettes when she already knew she was pregnant. HAPPY 18 WEEKS!! It's flying by!
melann13 - OMG! It's official, I need one! Lol I looked up each cat you mentioned, sooo cute! We had a boy kitten a few years ago and I remember he would never take a break. He was ALWAYS running around. I don't think I ever seen him sleep! Lol
nikkilucky77 - Thanks for the birthday wishes! Wow, you have a lot of birthdays today. I always thought it was funny the girl my ex got with when we broke up years ago has the same birthday. Lol
al335003 - Okay, I'm going to steal her. She's ADORABLE!!
ProfWife - So sorry af came. Don't you just hate her! Aw no. I'm so sorry that happened. You've probably said before but do you teach older or younger students? Actually, I don't even remember if you said you teach, I'm having a brain fart right now.
Kalush - Thanks for the birthday wishes! I'm so excited for you! Hopefully you just started the rush of BFP's
Afm - Every time I post I forget to add something. I was going to test yesterday but my silly ass forgot to buy tests. That's probably a good thing though. I'll just wait til Friday or Saturday. Birthday went good. I got an ice cream cake! (I just love those things!!!) Lol didn't do too much else, just chilled in the warm house.

@omgbaby, here are my fabulous boys. My two are mutts (black Maine Coon from the humane society, Siamese/Ragdoll from Specialty Purebred Cat Rescue- even though he's not a purebred) and then my parents two are registered ragdoll purebreds (actually littermates) also from the Spec. Purebred Cat Rescue here in WI.

melann13 - omg!! they are adorable *opens new window for cat rescues* lmao. one thing I do like about cats is they don't take much. Don't have to take them out in freezing cold to pee! Lol
Lazydaisys - If you figure out the correct word for cat broody let me know!! Lol
nikkilucky77 - cool! I'll have to check it out. It's been on for a few seasons now hasn't it?

Yup...quite a few seasons in...like 3-4? I only watched season 1 and got sidetracked by other obsessions like American Horror Story lol. I want to pick it back up though.

ProfWife: I hate to hear that about another death in your school family. That's very sad. And I know with AF here, that doesn't help at all.
Kalush: Congrats on the perfect double lines! Woohoo!
AFM: AF is here. She came in very quietly, but now she's here with a vengeance. I'm not upset about it, but I can't lie about the fact that I got my hopes up a little bit. But hey, it will be okay. Work is stressful, as we are being eyed by the state this year for our State Assessments in April. I'm trying to hold it together, teach the best I can, and still try to be a mom when I come home. It's hard, though. My heart is saying, "I wish I was pregnant because that would add extra joy in my life," but my head is saying, "You can barely handle what you do now!" It seems like I go nonstop all day at school, and then come home, cook, dishes, clean up, homework, piano practice, schoolwork, sleep (I don't sleep well at all), then repeat. It's probably my period talking, but I'm getting pretty worn out! Plus, I was absent Monday because of that stupid stomach bug and still don't feel right. Grrrr! Pity party, I know, but I'm dreading tomorrow's work load like the plague. I love teaching, but I hate all of the other "stuff" that is thrown at me. I can see why teacher burn out, especially in a Title 1 school, is very common. This is my 4th year, and I'm about ready to move on. People tell me to ride it out, it will get better, but idk. I'm going to try to transfer to another school this year, but I'm hanging by a thread right now. Again, I know, AF makes everything 10 times worse. I'm just venting, though. I thank you for reading this if you had the energy

One day at a time. Year 4 is a little rough. Years 1-2, you're optimistic. Year 3, you're finally hitting a stride as a teacher. Year 4, you might start wondering how you manage, the newness has worn off, and you start to get exhausted. Year 5, you've learned to cope and can hold your head higher as you truly know what you're doing.
I went through it. I hit my 10th anniversary teaching a few days ago. I still have days where I wonder why I bother and if the stress is worth it (especially with the NCLB junk that doesn't do anything it's designed to do). However, the good days are still really good. I cherish those.
Today was a good day. I was fired up about writing and trying to passionately teach the students how to ramp up their own skills and explaining why I'm choosing to do it this way. I was in the zone. Tomorrow, it all my blow up in my face. But at least I have today...good memories of it...laughs with my students...and I hope a deeper understanding that I desperately want them to master this concept for their own benefit.
Keep hanging in there and give yourself some grace with the extra "stuff."

@omgbaby I'm not sure if it's on Netflix. I imagine it is. The new episodes just started Monday on MTV. I think you might like it. I watched PLL, but I have Ravenswood on the DVR. Thanks! Sometimes time is fast and sometimes it drags. 
@melann13 Cats have the most beautiful eyes.
@nikkilucky77 Did you like the new episode of Teen Wolf? I thought it was so neat about the dreams and all. I always think that sort of thing is interesting. I still have last season and this season of American Horror Story on my DVR. I plan to start watching them soon. It's good you can stay at home and have another bathroom option. I hope it warms up soon.
@Lazydaisys What about meowoody? A mix of meow and broody and sounds somewhat like moody/broody.
@momwithbabies We'll always be here to read it. I'm sorry af came. I know it's hard especially when you get your hopes up. I am a teacher, but I'm not currently teaching. I can relate to most of what you said. I worked an hour and a half away from home so that meant getting up early to go and always being at least an hour and a half away from home in the evenings. I had lots of academic and extracurricular responsibilities in spite of my distance from the school too. There would be nights when I got home around 8-9 pm, showered, ate, and went to sleep only to start it again the next day. I remember the dread of having to prepare and go the next day too. I hope you start feeling better soon and that the days start to seem a little lighter. I know it's hard once you start to feel this way about going.
@ProfWife Congrats on your 10th anniversary teaching! That's quite an accomplishment.

nikkilucky77 - Lol I have so many TV obsessions. Not even funny
momwithbabies - Sorry af came. I hope things get better for you!
profwife - Congrats on your 10th anniversary! You must really love what you do!
Hopeful2014 - I tried to watch PLL last night, got half way through the meeting w/ Mona & Ezra and OH felt the need to start screaming (he had in headphones) telling me about a video he was watching. Lol so needless to say I couldn't focus, was confused as hell about what just happened and just saved it. So hopefully tonight I can finish that and watch Ravenswood.
Afm - I'm tired as hell tonight! Lol I watched a movie called Messages Deleted last night and then BGC ASB, then PLL once I was done I looked at the clock & it was 1! Lmao I went to sleep with thermal pants on and had the heating blanket on me. I woke up at 3am went to the living room to OH and damn near cried because I was so hot. Lmao why I'm not sure. I'm just ready for this week to be over!

Cute babies, Athena!
How is everyone today? I'm ok, 12DPO and had a couple of spots today. Bummed. Expecting af to make an appearance tomorrow. Haven't temped since confirming o rise, but might tomorrow just to confirm the drop. I'm enjoying not temping but think I might feel like I've lost too much control over things (virgo trait!).
Totally understand the teaching stuff, ladies. I've just gone back from Christmas vacation. Thank god we only had two days before the weekend. Next week is a 4 day week, too, so easing back in nicely.
Thinking of you all!

I love looking at everyone's fur-babies! Aren't they wonderful companions?!
Sorry the witch came for some of you- I hate her!
She hasn't showed up here so far. I'm 14 DPO- this cycle I did Clomid on days 3-7, trigger on Dec 24 @ 5:30 PM, so ovulation was expected Dec 26th. I had good timed BD and o pains late on the 26th. I'm not getting my hopes up AT ALL, I'm more just annoyed, but I keep looking at the calendar and counting the days to make sure they are right lol
TMI: Since Wednesday my cervix has been fairly high (to the point I couldn't tell if it was open or not) but today it seems a little lower and open. What do you ladies think? Is that a sign that, sure enough, AF is on her way?

Melann - Such cute cats!
Nikki - Hope you are staying warm.
Momwithbabies - Af definitely makes things work. Teachers work so hard, you guys are all amazing. All the work that goes into it, I can see it getting overwhelming at times.
Profwife - Congrats on 10 years of teaching, amazing!
omgbaby - I was so excited to find out more season were added to dexter on Netflix. Currently making my way through the last 2 seasons when I have a chance. Also, I want some of your cake. Icecream cake sounds so good!
Athena - Such cute pictures! Your last cat looks like he/she could be related to one of mine. I kind of wonder where he is actually, he's usually all over me when I sit down for a minute.
Newbie - Sorry about the spots, hope it's ib. I'm glad you are enjoying not temping. I could never really handle temping.
Al - Excited for you, glad you made it to 14 dpo with no spotting! Can't help with the cp. Are you going to wait a few days and just see what happens?

ProfWife: Your words made me cry because you said everything right!!! Thank you for the encouragement in that things will get better. You reminded me of why I became a teacher!!! I love my students, and I know they need me! Congrats on teaching for 10 years!
Hopeful: Today was better. Thank you for sympathizing with me! It's good to hear I'm not the only person who has ever felt this exhausted and run down. I can't imagine all of the driving you had to do!!! Wow!
Omgbaby: Thank you, and I'm so happy tomorrow is Friday!!!
Newbie: Amen to easing back into to school! It's nice for kids, but it's really nice for us teachers!!! I think I'm worse than the kids sometimes, lol!!! Sorry about your spotting, and I hope if she's going to come, she gets here and leaves quickly!
Al: I really don't know much about cervical positions. I hope AF stays away for you! Bless you for all you're going through.
Kalush: Thank you for your kind words about teachers. I appreciate that!
Athena: Cute and adorable! Love em!
