It's Wednesday, Not Monday

You ever have those weeks where you have Monday off, but when you go to work on Tuesday, it still feels like a Monday?? That was my day yesterday. I was so bitchy too. Not helpful. I had clients calling all day whining to me about their problems and I just wanted to yell back... "I'm having a shitty day too. Now who's going to listen to me?" I bit my tongue and listened to every one of those phone calls and offered up my sympathy. Today doesn't feel like a Monday so that's good news.

We had the big 2nd birthday party this weekend for J. It was a blast. To be two again. J had his regular backyard toys - his climber w/ a slide and his playhouse - and we added two swimming pools and a sprinkler. The kids went nuts. They were in and out of the pool, running through the sprinkler, flying down the slide, climbing on top of the playhouse. All of us adults got tired just watching the kids run around. I learned three things from the birthday festivities:

1) middle children take getting beat up really well;
2) birthday boys do not like to share their gifts; and
3) sugar and late nights result in some interesting behaviors in toddlers

J got mad at a 3 1/2 year old for playing w/ one of his new toys and nearly pulled out a handful of her hair and then tried to take her down like you see in the ultimate fighting matches. I'm not so good at getting my child to release a handful of hair.

On the pregnancy front...I'm not sure where I am. My miscarriage started five weeks and one day ago. I had beginning signs of being fertile 14 days ago (which usually means my eggs likely dropped a few days after that). In the old days, I would get my period anywhere between 13-15 days after ovulation. That leads me to believe if I'm not pregnant, I'll get my period within the next three days. As usual, I'm a mess thinking there's always that small possibility I did get knocked up and I want to take a pregnancy test every day until I get the ultimate confirmation that I'm not pregnant - my period. At least getting my period should start me on a normal cycle again.

My friend A - who had a miscarriage two weeks before me - is waiting to get on a regular schedule too. That girl is a "fertile" if I've ever met one. She went off the pill in January 2008 and got pregnant in March. She had a miscarriage and then got pregnant again in June. Miscarried that one in July and now she's hoping the third time's a charm. I went off the pill in February of 2007 and it took me until June of 2008 b/f I got pregnant. Jeez, what does she have that I don't?

I'll report back once I get my period b/c I know everyone is dying to know about my cycle. That's a joke...
