Today I was talking to my boss and he mentions to me that he has trouble finding people who are willing to work as hard as he does. (He works insane hours without a break-EVER). He explained that there was plenty of time to rest……when we are old, incontinent, and bedridden! Personally I have never [...]

These past couple of months have been very challenging. I have allowed myself to grieve this last miscarriage, but at the same time I have had to fight feelings of depression. Even though I knew that the enemy wanted my sadness to become depression, there were times that being depressed was attractive. I had this [...]

I woke up this morning and after fixing my hair the way I usually do, it’s not too bad. Kyle and friends at work actually like it. It has more tones to it-a little bit of blonde, a bit of red, and a little bit of my natural. It kind of gives me that sunkissed [...]

I wore green today, not because I’m Irish, but because I have traumatic memories of not wearing green. I remember one St. Patrick’s Day in middle school that I showed up to school and didn’t have green on. The rest of the day I endured the incessant question “Where is your green?” and then was [...]

For those who want the details of our latest fertilty efforts-read on…. We decided to do another cycle of IUI (intrauterine Insemination). Instead of an oral medication (Clomid), I am taking an injectable stimulation medication called “Follistim”. Thankfully, needles don’t bother me, so giving myself a shot isn’t really a big deal. It ihas been [...]
