not much

Just trudging right along to the end of the year with not much exciting happening.

I am following the doctor's orders with charting my temps and have my day 3 blood work done. I will start the OPKs this week and have day 21 blood work next week. After I get that done I will call and make an appointment to see him for a follow up and meds. I started Zoloft and ended it after 3 days. I felt like I was on a major caffeine rush! Did not sleep but 2-3 hours the 3 nights I took it and could not stop shaking and speed talking. Never felt so bad. :( I am also having pain and joint popping in my left hip where the ectopic was. I think it is scar tissue or maybe just "memory pain". Hubby thinks it is my hip protesting the weight I have added this year. He is probably right. We will be starting T-Tapp this week so that should help.

We totally enjoyed doing Hanukkah this year instead of Christmas! We found it much more relaxing. No rushing to buy presents or cook or get up the tons of decorations I used to do. Just light new candles each night and thank God for the miracles He does for us...truly a restful holiday. We did go to my Mom's home in Oklahoma and do Christmas with her. 12 hours of driving and 3 days of barely having time to visit but is was so good to be up there and see her and my family. :)


This will be our last restful week til summer time I think. Hubby will be teaching full time at IEC in a week most likely. We need to look for a new truck for him in Jan as we can't cut it being a one car family.  Hubby will become part owner of the company he works for in just days! :)  The kids and I have doctor's appointments and I get contacts in a few weeks. The girls should be winding down their school year in March or so for the oldest and May for the middle. Since we are having a horrible mild winter (it should not be in the 70-80s in DECEMBER!) we are going to clean out storage and attic just need to decide if we are donating the stuff or trying for a garage sale. Our area doesn't do well for garage sales and I am not hauling it to a friend's yard like we did last yr just wasn't worth it. And this year with tax return we really want to finish up with remodeling our home.
