Blah-humbug

That's how I feel right now. I'm upset. Super upset. Once again we are not going to be able to try for a baby. Hubby was put on a business trip last minute and once again, will be away during our "trying" time. I mean, we might get a little time when he gets back, but very little I think. I'm trying to be optimistic and think it can still happen...so we'll see. It's still very frustrating when stupid work crap gets in the way of your life, ya know?

Good news is I think I am finally kicking my cold's ass. I finally went to the gym a couple days ago and was able to run 3.7 miles before I started to feel anything with my IT band. So then I headed on over to the stretching area and rolled around a bit on the foam roller. Umm, I HATE that thing. Seriously. It freakin' KILLS my thighs when I roll over the IT band. Youch! But it works so I'll stick with it. Then I hopped on the elliptical for 15 mins. It's so hard not being able to run but I know it'll come back with some R & R.

Also...I'm still trying to figure out what I want for Christmas. I mean, there are a gazillion things I could ask for but actually figuring those out is tough. I have a few things on the list...

1) some new yoga pants/capris and tanks. I am finally going to start going to these classes at the gym and need some new attire to help me out :-)
2) New sunglasses (I lost my 3rd pair) Yes...I need a thing around my neck :-)
3) Boots. I don't have any great boots and would love to have this pair. The perfect pair to wear with some skinny jeans (that is if I can ever find a freakin' pair of jeans that fit me right)

But I am sure my hubby would rather me get these black over the knee boots :-)


See, I said a few. I still have ALL my shopping to do. I have no idea what to get anyone. And I only have a week to go. Crap!!! Is everyone done with their shopping???

I haven't run for two days now but I have to get out tomorrow. But the next two days are going to be super hectic. I have to drop off the cat at the in-laws tomorrow, and then hopefully get out and get some shopping done. Friday we are going to Sesame Street Live and I am actually looking forward to that. Jackson loves, loves, loves Elmo and I think he'll really like this so it should be fun. And then of course I need to get out all of our Eskimo clothing and pack it all up. Shall be a packed two days but we'll get 'er done. :-)

ARGH! I can feel your frustration, lady! If this ends up being a REAL problem, you might want to consider intrauterine insemination...it's only $1K and is even cheaper if you can do a natural cycle. That's if this keeps dragging out for months and hubby is still out of town. As for Xmas present ideas, I kinda want the over the jean boots, too...I laughed at the look three years ago, but it's just not going away and now I'm kind of liking it. I still have to get some presents for my hubby... An idea: does your hubby have a blue ray DVD player??

THat would be a great gift idea, but we already have one. I just really like the thought of the over the pants boots look....easy to put together, keeps my feet warm and out of the rain if it does rain and comfortable and easy to move around with following a toddler!

Hopefully we won't have to get to the insemination. Actually we shouldn't have to because hubby has to have shoulder surgery in February so he'll be "desked" for a few months and will have no choice but to help knock me up :-)

How annoying about the business trip! Getting pregnant isn't always easy and when you miss those certain days it is so hard to wait another month.

Elena is also obsessed with Elmo. You have got to let me know how he likes Sesame Street live.
