I'm heading to a training that runs 9-6 for the next three days (yes, Sat and Sun, ugh)! It's in the city, so I'm commuting today...I don't know how I did this for six years.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF). IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!
Good morning, wannabmama. Is the training for something interesting at least?
We have a guy coming over to look at our fireplace today to see about putting a wood stove into it. I am really hoping the masonry chimney doesn't require a lot of repair, because that might make the whole thing not worthwhile. I am super excited to finally get a wood stove.
I want a wood stove so badly! We spend so much on oil in the winter. The room with the fireplace is so small that we worry it would actually just get too hot to even sit there, plus it may take up a lot of our limited space. But...I still want, ha!
Training is for family law mediation, which is exactly what I want to do if I could figure a way to make money doing it...so this is a first step, ha!

Hello ladies! I've been MIA lately. I just needed to get my mind off of all of this and help re-focus my life on the positives. I don't really know how successful I have been because work was a bear this week, but I tried!
I'm just coasting through today to get to the weekend!
wannabmama DNW training on the weekends! I hope it is not too boring! PirateCat good luck today! I'm super jealous that you even have a fireplace. That is definitely on our list of things we want in our next house. It was high on the list for DH when we bought this one but we got a fantastic deal and couldn't turn it down.
wannabmama, our living room is pretty tiny too, but if we keep all the doors open it can probably heat most of the house. We are looking at the tiniest of wood stoves too (they do have some small ones you could look into!).
doodler, the fireplace is nice for ambience but we hardly ever use it because it is so inefficient. I am glad it's there though so we at least have the option of using it or sticking a wood stove into it. Being busy at work and distracted can sometimes be good, I hope that you have a restful and peaceful weekend.
I'm not doing much today, my toe is throbbing, so hopefully just sitting around with it up. I need to do laundry at some point. Ugh, my eyes are so heavy. I'm not ready to get up yet.
My friend does this nice dinner every year, she calls it fall dinner, it's tonight and I usually love it, but I'm tired, feeling antisocial, and one couple are new parents and I can't handle baby talk. It's also feeling like CD1...but there will be wine...so thank goodness for that!

We have a gas fireplace that I like to use since I'm always cold...lol
And it's Friday, Packers won, and H is off today so I'm hoping he is going to get a few items done this morning on the list so we can get most of them done by tonight so we don't have to spend the weekend doing it all. Or at least spend the weekend doing a project but one we want to be doing....lol

I'm so happy it's Friday. It's such a nice day here and I'm leaving work at 1pm, now I just need to to try and find someone to have lunch and day drink with!
wannabmama I almost always find that when I am dreading events like that, they turn out to be better than I expected. Especially when there is wine involved ! I hope its not too bad!
I went to an art auction last night that was to raise money for college scholarships for kids who are in foster care due to having their parent(s) in prison. All of the art was made by inmates at various prisons across the state. It was really impressive to see how talented these inmates are! I got a really neat water color to hang in my office. I am glad, however, that they don't let the inmates sign the art with their own name, for the sake of any victims.
As a side note, these guys also made some really impressive items with popsicle sticks. I didn't know that was even possible.

TGIF for sure after this crazy week. I don't have too much to do at work today so I'm hoping it will be an easy, less stressful day. And I'm looking forward to drinking all the wine I want tonight!!!
I'm chomping at the bit. I leave for Orlando in less than 24 hours, still have a million things to do, and really just want to sleep for a couple extra hours.

I worked 11-11 yesterday because they stupidly sent a ton of people to training yesterday, and two more people called out sick. I agreed to stay an extra hour, and because I have awesome luck a Crisis call for siblings came in 45 minutes before I was supposed to leave. Assessments for siblings always take longer because they rarely have the same behavior presentation. And this mom was so unnecessarily emotional, that the kids kept telling her to relax.
PirateCat, wannabmama, - We have a woodburner and LOVE it. The downside is that it does tend to make the house dirty faster than normal (between the wood coming in and the ashes going out) but it can heat pretty much our whole house (1200 sq ft) It saves us a ton of money on our oil bill.

Heyy friends! I'm here-ish. I have two big events for work this weekend so I'm running around tying up loose ends for tonight's event. I did take some time to get some cute Halloween nails today to go with my costume for tonight. They're fun but totally out of my comfort zone. I'm a short, French manicure type girl usually. The matte black is kind of cool though.
I got my TDAP this morning and my fucking arm is killing me. I need to go home and ice it, but I still have more errands to run.
In other news, we have an exciting weekend planned! We are visiting some friends who live near Joshua Tree NP so we're going to do some hiking after our visit. Then on Monday we are going to Universal and I am finally going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I'm so freaking excited I can't stand it!!
