It’s a beautifully sunny day here. I’m feeling better, and I am praying that Rob is not getting the flu that I’m just over.

Panacea

[From Little Women, after the ladies learned in a telegram that Father had taken ill and was in Hospital in Washington:]Poor Hannah was the first to recover, and with unconscious wisdom she set all the rest a good example, for with her, work was panacea for most afflictions.
I am truly hoping that I’ll be healthy enough [...]

It Figures

In our Christmas Card from a dear friend, she wrote about a possible adoption and asked if Rob and I would be interested. We said YES. But the bio-mom was wanting to keep her baby. A few weeks ago, we found out that the bio-mom agreed to adopt out the baby. And last night we found out [...]

Hey There Delilah

Music is a huge part of my life. This last week playing Musetta’s Waltz from the opera La Boheme` was amazing because it played over in my head and became the soundtrack of the entire weekend.
And so it goes for the song, Hey There Delilah which has been running ’round my mind for a while now. I [...]

Stupid Tears

I’m pouting a little because I got roped in… reading sad, encouraging, happy, scary birthing stories again.
Last week I watched hour after hour of Bringing Home Baby on TLC. “Jayleigh,” I told myself, “This won’t be you. If/when you have a family, it just won’t be all smiles coming from a hospital with you as [...]

Allergies, Smallergies.

I hate being sick. I always thought I just had really bad allergies… but it  turns out that I’m just a sickie.
I hate it so much that I take crazy homeopathic meds that Doctors tell you won’t work, but they DO work.  Like Zicam, for example. All of the pharmacists with whom I work say, [...]

Jack the Quack

Jack the Quack
When I was a kid, we’d go to a Chiropractor whose first name was Jack. My dad always called him “Jack the Quack,” even though we all went to him for treatments and agreed that he was an adequate chiropractor.
See, our family isn’t of the idea that Chiropractic will cure every ill, but that [...]

Shelly’s Belly

Mondays are when I go to see my coworker and friend Shelly in the Hospital in Lansing.
Except that Shelly had to have an amnio done today and she’s worried and waiting for the results with her hubby and her folks.
I’m so glad to not have to go today. I am in the middle of a [...]

Storms A-Brewing

I hate bad storms. I hate having to take cover and to go offline because there’s a tornado warning in this area in 15 minutes.
*deep breath*
All the other ones tonight missed us… but alas, we were too lucky.
OK too much lightning. Later!
UPDATE: Midnight
It skipped us. Yay.
I’m going to bed now.

My twin sister Dotty sent this article to me today. Yikes. This guy’s iPod Nano supposedly burst into flames while in his pants. What Dotty doesn’t know, though, is that when I am doing housework, I usually have my iPod right like this:

Click the photo to see what Charlie called “Great Boobs of Fire!”
Maybe I [...]

Blood Sucker

I have to get blood drawn this morning. To tell if my body is working right. Meaning, they’ll know if I ovulated.

Feeling Pukey

I hate it when you’re at a hospital and the docs and nurses consistently ask if the patient feels urpy, or if their tummy hurts.
I am an adult. I feel like I am going to hurl, or puke. But never in my life will I say that I am urpy. Because that word reminds me [...]

Tomorrow begins my Clomid treatment. I am so excited and scared and nervous and happy. I just know this will work. But what if it doesn’t? What if I go nuts again?
God says, “I am with you, my daughter.”
Tomorrow is the first official day of Rob’s and my vacation. It’s only through Wednesday, but still, [...]
