Tidbits of my life...


So I hope everyone that actually reads my blog is excited.... I just did 7 new posts! Yep 7! I really do love blogging and I'm not sure why I have taken a break from it, I guess I just needed a break from a lot of things.. but now I'm back and ready to blog my heart out. Haha.. For my personal use I'm going to try to do weekly recaps of the fun/bad/exciting/boring/ normal everyday events that happen. I have always loved writing a journal so why not start using my blog for that?! I guess it just means that my blogs will all hopefully have a little more "feeling" behind them rather than just the major events. K So here I go.....

It's only Thursday but already I feel like I need to write about this week. I was so excited on Monday to pick Danny up from the Baltimore airport! I counted the hours down at work until it was finally time to go home. I was happily listening to the radio on my way home and when I pulled into my parking garage my radio kept cutting out.. no biggie, until I put my car in park, all the lights on the dashboard began blinking with and abrupt death of my entire car. Tragic. I had 2 hrs before I was supposed to leave to pick Danny up and all I had was a dead car. I am so blessed that I made it home and into our parking space in the garage but now the panic set in. I checked on Super Shuttle rates: $60... more panic, called my dad... he thought it was some wiring thing.. more panic, then I talked to my friend Sarah. Like any hormonal woman would do in a panic, I cried. Yep I cried and asked her if she would maybe be able to take me to the airport to pick up the hubby I hadn't seen since Thursday. Then she said the magic words.. "Of course! Don't worry about it! I just finished all my errands and am home from the grocery store. For some reason I really didn't have anything going on tonight and I'd love to take you." Relief. Sarah was my little angel. Not only did she make me feel at peace, I knew that it wasn't a bother for her to help me out. Blessing- we made it to the airport in record time. For some reason there was NO traffic, (this is unheard of in DC during 6pm rush while it's raining) all odds should have been against our drive but we made it smooth sailing... Relief.

Tuesday- I get up at 530am get ready and take the bus/metro into work. Danny takes the car to the shop and we find out it's the alternator. What?! We just fixed that back in August when it stranded us in Salisbury, MD for 3 days! Luckily we had a warranty so AutoZone took it back with two trips there and a little persuasion. Total cost $140 for labor to take it out and put the new one in and the shop lent Danny a car for the day so he could go to school and bring me back from work. Relief... So as we were finishing up I was going to go shopping with Sarah. She was on her way to pick me up from the Mechanic shop, I was waiting outside when I felt a stab of pain on my arm. I looked down and couldn't figure out what was in my arm. I looked at my shirt to see if there was some sort of thorn on it and found a HUGE bumble bee. Yep it stung me! Panic... am I allergic? Am I not allergic?! The only other time I've been stung by a bee was at cheer camp back in 9th grade when I put my hand on a dead bee during a dance routine on the lawn. My hand was swollen HUGE back then so as I waited for the pain to stop I wondered how big my arm would swell.. Since I wasn't having breathing problems and took an allergy pill we decided to go shopping anyway. I now have a golf ball size lump in my forearm. It hurts.

Wednesday- Went to work, had fun eating a YUMMY grilled chicken sandwich with Danny out in the sun for lunch. Came home, Danny left for a Med group party and I baked cookies and blogged.

Thursday- Yep that's today! Today is the day!!!! Using my OPK everyday has been disappointing as I swear I have NEVER gotten a peak reading.. and guess what!? TODAY TODAYYYYY I got a peak! Am I crazy to be so excited to ovulate?! Maybe.. but when it's been about 5 months since I've had anything normal happen to my body, a peak reading calls for a celebration. Yep today is going to be a good day! I'm a woman! I can ovulate!! :) Honestly I can't decide what is making me happiest.. the fact that my body may be returning to normal or the fact that I could possibly get pg again?!

Hope the rest of the week goes just as great.. peace out.
