Hello cycle 43

43

Coincidence, I clicked onto Face Book and saw a link for a site called 43 things. It's basically a support site where you list your goals and share your stuff I guess. I haven't checked it out yet, but just thought it was funny. The day cycle 43 starts, and I stumble across a site called 43things.

What have I discovered over the last 3 years - 43 cycles:

1) Patience (some, not totally)

26) Pain
27) Love
28) Murphy's Law
29) Life is unfair at times
30) Excitement
31) A BFP doesn't always = healthy baby

LOL Sorry..... Should have updated...

Of course I have, twice!! Both BFN. Silly me.... Really what was I expecting?

Anyway, I actually wanted to do a word less Wednesday post. But now it's going to be a two sentence then a pic post :)

I got an AWARD :)

Ah thanks hun, I got given this award by R. Wallis @ TrueBeauty You should most definitely go check out her blog!!!

I'm HONESTLY HONEST!



I'm passing it on to:

Shannon from Confessions
Nicki from Franken Family

The requirement for accepting this award is to list 10 things about myself that you all may not know. Hmmmm, this is hard, because I once did a 100 things about me way back (170 posts ago) when I hit my 100th blog entry. But maybe my new readers of late haven't read that yet. So here goes:

1) I have 4 tattoo's. Chinese sign for dream, my daughters name, a lizard and an Angel.
2) I have an nose ring. I've only recently gotten used to the fact of changing it. I kept the original permanent stud in for years. Go read this post about the day I changed the stud.
3) I sometimes smoke (a cigarette) when I have had too much a little to drink.
4) Out of the 24 hours of a day, I'm usually in a bad mood for about 4 total hours.
5) I'm addicted to on line forums and blogs.
6) I ate Sushi for the first time about three weeks ago, and DID NOT like it.
7) If it was socially acceptable I would drink a beer with breakfast. (no I'm not an alcoholic)
8) I don't shave my legs very often, especially not in winter :)
9) I can't stand it when someone talks to me from another room, rather just be in front of me and don't talk through the walls.
10) I hate telephones/cell phones. I'll rather email you or text message before I pick up the phone and call you......

Well that's it. :)

Just a bit of fun....

Not my Child!

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.

I’ve always wanted to take part in the NOT ME MONDAYS but due to different time zone, I always miss it. But I’m alone tonight, still waiting for DH to get home from work.

When I saw the NOT MY CHILD, I thought I just have to take part.

It was not my child that screamed blue murder in the ice cream aisle at the super market. It wasn’t her that then proceeded to throw the shopping baskets over all because of ice lollies that weren’t going to make their way home. Definitely not my child.

It’s not my child that stands in public places shoving her finger so far up her nose, that the fear of it getting stuck hasn’t actually crossed her mind? She would never do that.

It’s not my child that loves to take chewed bubble gum out of her parent’s mouths and make her own bubbles. Nope definitely not my child.

There are so many things that my child just would not do, looking forward to sharing more of those with you......

Would you love to join the Not my child! Monday fun? Click on over to MckMama

Old habits die hard

Tell me it’s normal that I remember exactly what time I last P-ed. That in a split second I can work out the time and how long it’s been. 2hrs, 27min and 45 seconds. It’s 11dpo. I’m thinking about testing. I didn’t test this morning, because I knew I’m just being totally pathetic at even entertaining the thought that just maybe we got lucky. Now this morning I read through posts and blogs and I WANT TO PEE ON A STICK. I was doing so well. So freaking well. My p time logs are totally normal right? Not an insanity side effect from TTC just too damn long right?

Even while typing this entry, I’ve thought about POAS 12 times. YES, 12 times!!! I know this probably sounds crazy to some, but TTC girls you know what I’m talking about. I know I have your sympathy right? What is the solution? I go POAS, I stand up and go to the loo right now…..

Yeah then for the next hour, and you know it’s going to be a full hour. I sit looking, tilting, squinting at a little strip. Imagining that I see “something” when in actual fact there is absolutely nothing to look at. You know I’m going to hold it up against plain white paper, purple coloured paper, against the fridge and of course the egg shell colour of my office walls. Just to check, to make absolutely sure.

Why put myself through this torture. Simple…. Because I can. Because it’s easier than sitting here thinking about doing it. Just do it. Ok, don’t do it. No, just do it. Get it over with. No, don’t do it. Argh…… wish me luck……

UPDATED: LOL - BFN Like I was expecting anything else. But at least I've satisfied the craving.

Oh, BTW those that have Face Book, I have made it easy to now follow my blog on FB, Just click here

Some Friday Humour....

(And because I have nothing to say really...)

MELANIE (age 5) asked her Granny how old she was. Granny replied she was so old she didn't remember any more.. Melanie said 'If you don't remember you must look in the back of your panties. Mine say five to six.'

BRITTANY (age 4) had an ear ache and wanted a pain killer. She tried in vain to take the lid off the bottle. Seeing her frustration, her Mom explained it was a child-proof cap and she'd have to open it for her. Eyes wide with wonder, the little girl asked: 'How does it know it's me?'

CLINTON (age 5) was in his bedroom looking worried When his Mom asked what was troubling him, he replied 'I don't know what'll happen with this bed when I get married. How will my wife fit in it?'

MARC (age 4) was engrossed in a young couple that were hugging and kissing in a restaurant. Without taking his eyes off them, he asked his dad: 'Why is he whispering in her mouth?'

This particular Sunday sermon...'Dear Lord' the minister began with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust...' He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four year old girl voice 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

Have a great weekend!!!
