Mine is killing me! I got the worst sinus headache Saturday night and I'm still fighting it today. We did a lot of work outside the other day which is probably what set it off. I'm not really sniffly, but it just feels like a knife is stabbing me in the

I got to play mommy today for my friend's babies. Two 1-year-olds! It was so much fun, but also a learning experience. It's been literally about 5 years since I actually changed a diaper and I've never really been responsible for feeding a baby a complete

I don't know what has gotten into me the past 3 days but all I have wanted to do is CLEAN! And I don't mean my normal cleaning, but serious scrubbing. I just finished spending half an hour on my hands and knees scrubbing the baseboards in my kitchen.

This is something I've been struggling with for a while--the decision to be a 100% SAHW or not. At this point, there really isn't a reason for me not to work (no kids yet) and the extra money is nice, but by the time I get home from work I'm too tired

I took a pregnancy test earlier even though I was pretty sure I'm not pregnant. Sure enough it was negative. And I just got my period. Sigh. Oh well, maybe my next cycle will be normal like this one was and I won't have to wait 30 days to ovulate! Irregular

Up to this point after being off BC, I've always gotten my period exactly 2 weeks after I ovulated, so I was supposed to get it today. But I didn't. I'll give it until Wednesday and then probably take a test. I'm 99.99999% sure I'm not pregnant though.

I was home today and got sucked into A Baby Story on TLC. Why do I do this to myself? I start bawling like a fool when the baby is born. I just think those first few moments after a baby is born are so precious. That's why I plan to just have me and DH

...when you have pets. Last night I drank my first cup of raspberry leaf tea. It wasn't bad, but not great either. Let's hope it helps! Anyway, I heated up the water on the stove and after I had turned it off and gone in the living room, I heard some

So I'm on the Nestie group now! Woohoo! It's so much easier to see pictures on there. I never figured out how to post pictures on here so you guys can just look at them on FB. I do have a favor to ask. We have not yet announced to the FB world that we

I have decided to start drinking raspberry leaf tea to help with TTC. I went by the health food store today and bought some. I figure it's a cheap way to hopefully help things along. I'm not much of a tea person, but hopefully it'll taste OK enough that

Friday I didn't go into the office and ended up sleeping too much. Every time I sleep too much I have a headache the rest of the day and end up feeling really depressed for some reason. Some of Adam's friends were going out Friday night and invited me

Today was my last day of therapy with my kids. I can't believe that a 4 year chapter of my life is over. I knew I would cry and sure enough, I did. The mom cried too. This little boy was one of my absolute favorite kids and his parents were great too.

I ovulated today! Day 15!!! I'm actually going to have a regular cycle this month. Thank goodness! The last cycle was hell. Maybe this will be our month.

I didn't really have a reason to go into the office today (gotta love the flexibility of real estate) so I went with Adam to visit his mom. She lives 2 hours away so it takes pretty much the majority of the day to make a trip down there. That's why we

What are little (or big) things you do that add up to save you money? I feel like we're doing about as much as we can--we almost never go out, we don't use a credit card, and we don't splurge on big items unless we really think about it for a while. But

Adam emailed me at work today and told me that a couple we go to church with was selling their old crib. It's a Crib 4 Life so they paid at least $300 for it but were only asking $100. He told me to get it!!!! I was like, ummm you realize I'm not even

my new laptop!!! I had totally forgotten just how much I missed having my old one that died. I'm loving being able to lay on the couch and Nest instead of having to actually go in my office and sit at my desk. I met with my first client last night. Everything
