Ten Thoughts That I Need to Get In Writing

1. Estrogen shots in the a-- at 10 pm at night give me a raging headache the next morning. For this I might as well be hung over - that lovely "mack truck ran over my head" feeling is here again today.

2. I am going to be really sad if this IVF cycle does not work - so I am contemplating sending a preliminary application to the adoption agency - so we can run parallel tracks. DH gave his blessing to this the other day.

3. If I am not pregnant at the time we move into our new house - I am getting another yorkie puppy - so I will have someone to mother while I wait for my Ethiopian Twins to come home. I already have my kennel picked out . . DH is a little sketchy on this one.

4. We are going to go ahead and invest in 2 new TV's when we move - one for the kitchen and a big one for the family room. I was the hold up on that and finally realized that since we will be spending more time at home eating air sandwiches - we might as well have more than one TV - because renting movies is cheaper than going out.

5. Why is everybody pregnant? Or am I just noticing it more?

6. Had an awesome lunch yesterday with realandspectacular. It is funny how you meet people and think they must be your twin sister who your mom gave away to be raised by others. I want to give a realandspectacular a shout out here - as she is an awesome woman and I feel blessed to have her as a girlfriend.

7. I wonder if I could have gotten pregnant with no drama at 25? But then I would have been an unwed mother or been in a bad marriage that would have made me a single mom with kids - so banish the thought.

8. For those of you who have been around for at least a decade - I was driving down the street yesterday and saw the british hairdresser outside the salon where he works. I have not laid eyes on him since March 1998 - he looks the same. My heart did not skip a beat. Instead I laughed.

9. We had dinner last night with J.A.L and her parents. We are buying her house next week and then she is moving to Florida. Her parents are in town - so the 5 of us went to dinner. It is bittersweet that she is leaving - in the past month we have really developed a friendship and I am going to miss her. Her dad says when he closes his eyes - he can't tell which of us is talking.

10. I have a lot going on right now - buying a house, trying to sell the condo, in the middle of an IVF cycle, stressful job, trying to keep a sunny disposition, on the wagon, etc. . . and realizing that I am really an adult and this is my life.

Okay people - not my usual style - but I wanted to get all those things out and need to start my day.
