My Husband Rocks!!!!


Why does my husband rock?! Because he bought this shirt (as a surprise to me) and couldn’t wait to wear it! He actually got a little bit giddy when he put it on. The Hubs isn’t the best with words- but it’s the little things like this that reassure me that he really does love me! AND he rocks!!

I can't really say I'm surprised....

Went in for an ultrasound to check on my Clomid progress this morning (cd13). I only had 3 follies and they were all measuring 11mm. The last 2 rounds gave me folicles 17-22mm at this time. She's not sure if it's just not working, or if it's going slow. It's all so frustrating. I had a feeling that it wasn't working, though..... just a really bad feeling. I hope they're just growing slowly and that, by some miracle, we will have timed it pefectly, and that everything turns out like a fairy tale. I hope.



The Hubs came home yesterday from Sam's all proud that he found a HUGE bottle of Midol for $8. I looked at it and looked at him and almost threw it at him. I hope I don't end up needing it.

Marriage Builder Monday




To find out more about Marriage Builder Monday, click here.



As I've said in previous My Husband Rocks posts, The Hubs does A LOT around the house. During the week, I cook dinner- and then I'm out for the count. I'll sit in front of the TV until it's about 9:30 and then I get ready for work the next day and go to bed. Mostly, if dishes need done, I either do them before making dinner or not at all. The Hubs goes crazy and can't stand my clutter, so he'll sometimes just start cleaning. I feel bad when he does this, but I just can't seem to get motivated to help. I say "that's what the weekend is for!"



That said, he LOVES it when I clean... especially when I organize things. This week, as my marriage builder challenge, I am going to try to keep at least the first floor in company friendly condition. It's nothing big, and I know keeping it up daily will be a big help for both of us, but I've never been able to do it before- so wish me luck!!!!



What will you do this week?

I've been tagged

So I've been tagged a few times by some pretty great bloggers, Andrea, Stacy, and Staci.... So I guess I should play along!





Rules:

1. Link to the person who tagged you


2. Post the rules on your blog


3. Write 6 random things about yourself


4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them


5. Let each person you have tagged know by leaving a comment on their blog


6. Let the tagger know when your entry is posted.





1. I just went to WalMart with my mom and spent too much money on crap I don't need... and junk food.




2. I found out today that one of The Hubs' friends reads my blog (Hi Jason!) so now he knows all about my womanly struggles. Not embarrassing at all.




3. We're watching my IL's puppy this week while they are on vacation. She's decided that she wants to live in our bedroom, and my dog has decided that he needs to pee all over our bedroom carpet. yay.




4. Right now I am wearing my sister's old maternity shorts. I'm not pregnant- they're just comfortable. Yes, I did go out in public wearing them.


5. It's 7:30 on a Saturday night, and I'm ready for bed!


6. The women I work with think I'm the weirdest person in the whole world. They've obviously been pretty sheltered, right? I'm not that weird, am I?



I'm not going to tag anyone, because pretty much everyone that I know well enough to tag has already been tagged....... so if you're reading this- I guess I'm gonna tag YOU

My Husband Rocks Friday!!!


To find out more about My Husband Rocks Friday, click here or on the button on my sidebar.



I LOVE LOVE LOVE My Husband Rocks Fridays! Not only is it Friday, but it's an excuse to brag about my incredible hubby! It always makes me a bit giddy to tell the world how great he is... so here goes.....



My Husband ROCKS because I can tell him "we're keeping the twins overnight- and you're going to have to sleep with the tv on on mute all night and a cd on." and he'll say "Ok, where do you want me to put up the pack n plays?"



OR I can say "My parents and brother and sister and great big dog are coming over on Saturday while they flea bomb the house" and he'll say "Ok, I'll clean the house since I'm only working a half day on Friday."



OR I can say "These Clomid Hot flashes are KILLING ME! Please change back into your clothes (we wear pajamas when it's just us at home) and drive down to the ice cream stand to get me something cold!" and he says "OK, what do you want?"



Yeah, he's pretty great ::sigh::

Clomid update

I don't really have anything interesting to talk about right now. All of my family and most of my friends are on vacation- lounging on the beach and drinking cocktails- and I'm here lonely and bored. Well, actually right now I'm supposed to be working, so I'll make this quick.





I'm on Clomid day 3 right now (since I take my pills at night) and this is when it starts to get a little hell-ish. Yesterday I was so tired I couldn't hold my head up. Today the hot flashes are SO unbearable... and then I freeze (goosebumps and shivers and all) when I come down from them. I'm cranky, too. Tomorrow will be the day that the anxiety starts to set in, and being around people will make me feel claustrophobic. I'm sure there are worse things, but it would be really great if my ovaries worked on their own, ya know?

OOPS!

ICOMLEAVWE starts tomorrow, and I really don't have anything interesting up for people to comment on! Maybe I should get on that......



New post to come. I'm going to challenge myself to write something new every day during ICLW.
