Okay, so I may not be the most interesting read and I may not say anything that you don't already know but this diary is mainly for myself. I enjoy sharing it with others, particularly my close friends so they know what's happening in my world, but its still mainly for me. I love to type out my thoughts. Its a great break from my otherwise hectic day. And I love reading over old entries and seeing how much life has changed. So enjoy the read but try not to be too critical.

My Comfy Mad House
January 24, 2007 - 1:02 p.m.

Things are finally beginning to calm down here at home. The temperature is nearly 30 degrees warmer than the week before and all the ice and snow have, for the most part, disappeared. All that is left of the major ice storms from two weeks ago are downed tree limbs and the occasional power line. Morgan returned from Texas with Mari & Cody on Saturday and Cody reported for duty on Monday.

With everything getting back to normal, you'd think there'd be little for me to stress about, right? Well, in the past week I've had a whole new set of frustrations come my way. It has not, obviously, been the most relaxing month on record for us and I knew that I was probably a little bit testier because of it but I guess I've been really bad. Paul started complaining towards the middle of last week that I was downright moody. I guess I just didn't take notice but now that I'm more aware of what's going on, I've realized that I am way more than moody. I cry at the drop of a hat and then can switch to being grumpy all in just minutes. I have no patience for my husband, who is trying so hard to be patient with me, or my children. Some days I will think that I have a hold on it only to blow up at Paul over something incredibly stupid. On top of my moodiness (this is going to be TMI, just for your information), my boobs have been killing me! For the past 4 days or so, they have felt similar to when my milk was coming in after Haidyn was born. It just hurts like heck! I've tried to ignore it because I know at this point I can't go to the doctor about it. As we're trying to get pregnant and I'm experiencing some "symptoms" of pregnancy, the first thing they'll ask if if I could be pregnant. Of course I'd have to say I have no clue so they'd make me wait until I could take a test on Monday (or start my cycle) before they bother treating me for anything else. This, in all honesty, is quite frustrating to me.

I am pretty sure that this is not being caused by pregnancy as my symptoms started only a week and a half after ovulation which, I'm relatively certain, is a bit to early to be experiencing symptoms for that. I had decided to wait until Tuesday when I can say one way or the other but changed my mind the other night when the throbbing pain brought me to tears. Again, it is not a normal "pregnancy symptom" as they are not tender to the touch (no more so than with the onset of PMS) nor are they swollen. I decided to call the nurse, Sarah, to see what she thought. She had no idea and told me that she'd ask Dr. Williams when he came in at 11am and call me back. Its 1:20pm and I'm still waiting for her call so I guess its nothing too pressing.

*sigh* Oh well. I'm just ready for it to go away, that is all. And I'm kind of anxious for this next cycle to pass so that we can start trying again.

Anyway. I have divulged more information that you were all wanting to know so I will sign off for now. With Mary Ellen out of town until Friday night, I'm hoping to get the house all straightened up so that she can actually relax when she comes back from her classes. Lots to do..... now where did I leave my brain??
