December 22, 2000

I cannot believe we are about to be through with Y2K!!! And I'm still not PG! I NEVER would have imagined I would go a whole year and not be able to get PG. Well, I guess to be totally fair, the first six months I wasn't even O'ing; then, for three months I O'd, but no conceptions; and the last three months I am not really sure what has happened because I'm not temping or OPK'ing or keepin' up with much of anything. So, it's really only been fewer than six months of "trying." Yeah, at least, tha'ts what I'll keep telling myself so that I don't have to feel like a complete failure! Actually, Joe and I really haven't been focusing on TTC much the last couple months. The "no stress" approach has been good to us mentally, but not very productive. So, I am thinking of starting to temp again. It's a great tool that tells you a lot and is FREE (the key word!).

As I type I am on cd#48. Geez, my hormones must be way off or something. I must not've O'd this cycle. I just wonder if I'm going to get through this cycle without Provera. I doubt it. If by Jan. 1 I haven't seen the old hag then it's on to Provera. That can't be healthy not to see AF for months at a time?!?! As for taking a more aggressive approach toward TTC for 2001: Right now, I'm thinking I'll go with temping but I'm still no going to stress out about it. Plus, I've now lost 23 pounds and am starting to feel like my old self. I want to continue with the weight loss as long as my stamina holds out.

As for holiday plans ... Joe really doesn't get hardly any vacation. I get lots of vacation because I've been with the same employer for five years now and rarely take days off without making the time up. He and I will go to his parent's houses on Dec. 24, to my mom's house on the evening of Dec. 24, and to my dad's on Dec. 25. We will probably open our presents to each other at our house the morning of Dec. 24 before we leave to his parent's houses. I am such a Grinch because I just feel like the holidays are more trouble than they're worth. I mean, I have to pick presents out for what seems like 5 million people, spend lots of money we don't have, hope I got the right gifts and spent enough on each person, share the three days we have off between four families that live hours apart and all want you to be there Christmas day, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Sorry, I was just venting. I know someone else out there has got to feel this same way! I do hope each and every one of you has a great holiday and enjoys the time you have with your family. I know I should appreciate just being able to spend time with my mom, dad, sister, and husband! After all, that's what the holidays should be about, not gifts. Happy holidays.

Anne :)

P.S. I forgot to mention I just went on a snowskiing trip. It was tons of fun and I skied on the expert slopes, yeah! It snowed 5 inches while I was there and the conditions were ideal, lots of powder. The cold was hard to take, though. I have bad circulation and it was like -10 F once the wind chill was factored in. BURRRRR!
