Rambling...

We just got back from getting groceries, and it wore me out. lol I don't know why, I'm just so tired now. We got lots of good stuff. I bought a George Foreman grill too! I've been wanting one for awhile, and finally decided to get one. I'm excited to try it out. I bought some chicken to grill, so we'll have that one night. I need to look up some new recipes to try. It should be fun to try some new things and its supposed to be healthier for you too.

We're working on getting the house looking good now. We had a long talk the other night about Chris helping me out more around the house because I'm the one that does everything right now. So, he agreed that he would help out more. Hopefully he keeps his word on that. So far, he's been doing good. We've gotten a few things done. We finally put my X-mas decorations back in the storage room. We had lots of other junk that was just laying around like extra computer parts that Chris wasn't using and things like that, so he took all that stuff to the storage room too. When we get our taxes back, we're either going to buy new appliances for the kitchen since we didn't get to last year, or we'll buy new living room furniture. We'll see. We're finishing up a couple of painting jobs we never finished. I'm horrible about that. Starting some home improvement project and never getting around to finishing them. So, we're trying to finish all those little projects up, organize and de-clutter, and just give the whole house a good cleaning. We're just doing a little each day so that it's not so overwhelming. We should have the whole house looking good pretty soon. It's just the challenge of keeping it that way.

It looks like me and Lauren will finally get to meet on Saturday as long as nothing happens before then. I'm excited to finally meet her! She actually only lives about 30 minutes from my hometown. I will try to take some pics to share the experience. I'm a little nervous because I'm kind of a quiet person, so I don't want her to think I'm boring. hahaha I'm sure she wouldn't think that. lol

Next week, we plan on going to visit my family. We try to go up there once a month at least. We always have fun visiting with everyone. I wish we could see them more. Maybe someday we'll get to live closer to them.

I'm pretty much over my cold now. If AF would hurry up and leave then I'd be good. She is definitely kicking my butt this month! I've had really bad cramps the last 2 days and it's been heavy. I haven't had cramps that bad since I took provera to make AF start, and that was over a year ago. I wonder if I actually O'ed this past month and so this was a real AF instead of just breakthrough bleeding like when I don't O, and that's why I've had cramps and it's been heavier like they used to be. It would be nice to think that I actually did O. That's why I'm gonna try charting again. I hate not knowing if I O'ed or not. I think I'm gonna do vaginal temping this time though because it seems more accurate. Maybe this will be our month. The other night I showed Chris' Mom and Granny our baby stash, and the bedding set that I bought. They both LOVED the bee bedding set! They know we've been ttc and can't wait for me to get pg. His mom keeps saying she wants us to have her a grandson. I love it when they actually talk about it and are excited about it.

Ok, I'm tired now, so I think that I'll stop rambling and go to bed. Night.

Wow your motivated to do stuff WHILE AF is in town---I'm impressed! One thing I did when I had a house to help keep it in order-set a kitchen timer for 15 min and clean/pick/organize for 15 min! It worked well knowing I can do anything for about 15 min! LOL

Heck yeah on the george foreman! We used to use ours all the time before we got an actual grill. I loved grilling onions on it while making chicken... SOOO good!
