It's Like The Book

Did you ever read that book as a kid, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day?

I'm having one of those.

I woke up tired and feeling like I had a cold coming on, I was late getting to work, I got swamped with projects, I developed a splitting headache, I looked at my credit card statement, I forgot to pack lunch so I had to settle for a granola bar and a yogurt that I had stored in the office fridge, I snapped at my co-worker, and then someone made a mean comment about this here blog. Also I'm getting a pimple, and that really sucks (and it's only 12:30).

If I seem irritable and irrational, well, I am. My mood is swinging like a pendulum, so I'm out of sorts and this can make me a little "difficult". I just hate feeling so...so...blah!

Also I'm really sensitive, so that anonymous comment hurt my feelings. I know it's stupid and that I shouldn't be so defensive, but the truth is that I'm still hurt that William I-Forget-His-Last-Name-Something-Italian chose to sit next to Robin I-Forget-Her-Last-Name-Too instead of me during lunch in fifth grade. I may put on a sarcastic front but I'm as soft as pudding on the inside. 

I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Luckily I have Oreos and Firefly (Captain Tightpants makes everything better) at the ready for just this type of terrible, horrible, no good very bad day.

    I am so sorry you are having one of those days!! I wish I could bake you some brownies, take you Belize or take to you Flatbreads for pizza. This is where I used to go when I was having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. http://www.hiddenboston.com/images/FlatbreadCompany.jpg

    Sorry you are having such a bad day. Don't allow mean spirited people to affect you in a negative way, they are not worth the time or effort. I am with the above on making brownies for the Canadian LOL

    Totally love that book and often think of it myself on a bad day!! I can't believe someone left a mean anonymous comment!! That is so awful and uncalled for. Can't people just be QUIET if they can't be nice?! Sheesh. I'm very glad you have some Oreos to go home to...they can fix a multitude of wrongs, in my opinion. Hugs!

    Anonymous mean comments are the worst! But surprisingly the more you get the less it bothers you...bright side? :)

    I hope you have a big tummy dinner tonight!

    I hate, hate those days. I totally understand how disappointing it is to forget your lunch. It's the highlight of my day! All I can say is, make this weekend special for yourself in order to counteract today.

    p.s. How does that book end??

Keeping Secrets

I've been keeping a secret. I'm not even going to make you wait. I'm just going to come out and say it. I really don't like when people say, "Hey, I have news" and then ramble on for fifteen minutes about how they didn't know how to tell you, and would you like the good news or the bad news first. I mean, if you don't know how to tell me, then maybe you should have thought about it a little bit more before you brought it up, because now I'm just sitting here waiting while you find the perfect words to share news that...let's be honest...probably doesn't impact me in the slightest. And as for the good news/bad news question? What do you think? If you're really asking, I'd rather not hear the bad news at all. Because who wants to hear bad news? Unless it's just "bad" relative to the good news, but not really all that bad in its own right, well then I guess I wouldn't mind hearing it. And I might like to hear it first

Dilemma

I’m having a bit of a dilemma. Which is putting it mildly. I am not sure whether to shut the factory down for good, or keep it chugging along in its pitiful, yet marginally functioning state. If things were normal, if *I* was normal (cue hysterical laughter here), then I might be happy to let things chug along as they were and see what happens. But things (my body and I) are far from normal and so I feel like I need to make a decision either way. Which really sucks and makes me feel a renewed sense of frustration, irritation and mourning for the sorry state of affairs of my reproductive bits. We recently had an appointment with our RE to discuss our options and see where we stand. It was great to touch base with Dr. L but as expected, nothing has really changed. My fertility has been on a fairly rapid decline and there's not much we can do to change that (FSH last tested at 20). It was good to hear that my tubes are open and that my uterus appears to be in good shape but despit

Start Spreading The News...

My trip to New York City was completely amazing but I'm not going to lie....the re-entry to life has been difficult this past two days. After 5 days away I thought I'd return refreshed and ready to jump back onto the work/life wagon...I was wrong. Is it Friday yet? The highlights of my trip were many. But first...I had a moment. When we made it to the hotel, the emotions that had been building the entire day and week came bursting out and I cried and cried. Oh, how I cried! Uncontrollable, sloppy, snotty bawling that pretty much claimed an entire box of tissues. You see, the morning that we left my period started...a full 5 days early. I was crushed. I was sure that this was THE cycle. My emotions got the better of me but I quickly re-grouped and a little voice chimed up saying, “Go splash water on your face and get out! Go and tackle your NYC bucket list head on” And tackle we did! In short, we took in two shows on Broadway, made a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, saw the Statue of
