O Day... dun dun dun (4.2.07)

April 2, 2007

Well it's "O" day again... and I can tell not only because of temp dropping but also because of my cm which was hella-egg white.  (I was so shocked I couldn't think straight... cause I figure the clomid makes things more thick and I usually take mucinex -thanx Khy- to thin it, but haven't this month!).  Dh was actually willing this morning to do the deed, and we're planning again tonight on doing it again (although he doesn't know I'm o'ing!!).  So... here's to a mothers day surprise. :)

 

That being said... I'm in a kind of good place right now.  My cousin, who had a baby a month after I was married is ttc too... and we're both going slow at it, but I'm hoping we both conceive in a month or two and have kids together.  How cool would that be?  It also leaves something for us to talk about, and that rocks because I don't have anyone in real life who is ttc that I can talk to.

 

I'm having some issues at work that suck and want to find another job.  Don't know if I've mentioned to anyone what I do, but I work with people who have disabilities.  I'm their supervisor at their work-site (now).  A client, who isn't on my case load, and has schizophrenia has a tendency to attack people at random.  Today I was the target.  He ran up behind me (he was 25 feet away from me) and began screaming threats and profanities at me.  Thankfully all he did was grab my arms.  But regardless... after work when I was talking with dh, he pointed out that if we get pregnant again and anything (the stress of the situation or an actual physical attack) were to happen that he (dh) would be going to jail for coming to my work and beating the crap out of the client.  And... it's sad, because I know that he (client) has a disability, and that when he's on his meds and things are fine, the client is fine too.... but there are just those days and they're horrible.  (did I mention this is the second attack he's made on me?  The last one was much worse--he actually punched me and left me in pain for like three days).  So... I'm beginning to look for a different job, or a different line of work.  Either way... something that's safer.

That being said, life is pretty good.  I hope and pray we conceive this month.  I feel it in the air, or something... that it's just supposed to happen (but hey, when don't I?).

 

I hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful lent/Easter season.  Take care and God bless you all...
