The ghosts are getting creative.

I think most people are well aware of the ghosts in my house. Most every one will admit to a creepy feeling here or there through out our house. I flat out refuse to go into the basement at night. Mainly because the dogs flat out refuse to come down with me. If they don't wanna go down there then it can't be good.

Well our dear little ghosties have gotten creative now. They are building pop can pyramids!


I don't know how it got there or why. It is in the very back of the basement in the farthest room. The old furnace and fuel tank are back there. We have a newer corn burning furnace now. So we are very rarely in that room. They hubby went back there yesterday to change the filters because the newer furnace still filters air through there. That was what he found. We have no idea who did it or when. No one wants to claim responsibility. It sure as poo was not me cause I don't go in that room unless I absolutely MUST go back there. Like to take that picture. There is just something about an old stone walled basement that is creepy as SIN!

My First Harvest

My first harvest from my garden was a success! I had 3 big bags full!


Nummy organic radishes.


Big green organic spinach.


I pulled a carrot. But as you can see they are not ready to be picked yet. It still tasted good even if it is tiny.


I can't wait to pick more!

Ducklings and Chicks

They grow up so fast! The ducklings and chicks have been with us for almost 2 months now. They went from small and fuzzy to medium and feathery. And LOUD! OY can those ducks quack now! They mean buisness and have no problems letting you know that. So here are a few pics I took this morning of them. See how they have grown ...

AF Update

I wish there was more to update about in this update. UGH! I am now 4 days post progesterone. I have been cramping off and on. Just when I start to feel like the cramps mean buisness and AF is about to begin the cramps just ... DISAPPEAR ... it is very frustrating. I hate cramps but if it gets the job done then DO IT!

I of course am still very frustrated. I am tired and worn down. I want my body to just let it go. I want to move on to the next step of this crazy infertility ladder. That is hard to do when your body refuses to cooperate. It is very tiring.

I will just have to keep praying and waiting. It's all I can really do right now. OK God we are ready. Next step please. I KNOW that it will happen when it is suppose to. I KNOW that God will provide a healthy child for us some day. I have faith in that and in God. But sometimes it is hard to be patient. I know that he is listening and telling me just to BREATH because it will come. I just hope my version of soon and God's version of soon are at least some what the same.

Fingers crossed and legs wide open!

Happy Birthday!

Today was my MIL's birthday. We got a very lovely cake with pink roses on it. We had them write Happy Birthday and her name on it. She seemed very happy when I dropped the cake, cards and Bryan off today before heading to work. I am glad it made her happy. I was so touched when she got me a birthday cake for my birthday when no one else did. We have been getting alone wonderfully lately. I really enjoy my time chatting with her now. She understands a lot of the stressers in my life right now and doesn't mind talking to me about it. It is making for a very wonderful relationship between us. I am grateful for that more and more every day. I am glad I can be one of those ladies who actually gets alone with her MIL.

TAP TAP TAP ... any time now ...

I am very patiently ... he he he ... ya right patiently waiting for my period to come. I was given 10 days of progesterone to force a period. The last pill was Thursday. Last time I took this med for this very same job it took 3 days after the last pill for AF to show. However that was the 5 day treatment. And they say it could take up to 2 weeks for AF to come. And it is not a garuntee that you will get your period. *sigh* I hate waiting and even more I hate not being able to plan things. We are going on vacation soon. I hope we will not have to attempt to concieve our first child together with his/her big brother asleep in the hotel room while we take a "shower" ... kinda creepy but I am not wasting a round of Clomid. I will get that boy his own good gosh darn room if need be!!!! LOL So we wait ... again ... some more ... *sigh* ... if nothing else I am getting a HUGE lesson in patience from God when it comes to having another child. OK God ... I think 3 years is good. Let's get on with the show now please! Thank you ... come again ...

Exhuasting

I am not gonna go into much detail. I am just tired and frustrated and just emotionally worn down. Why when you just want to be left alone every one jumps all over you? And when you don't wanna play along they make you out to be the bad guy? I need my piece and quit so I can rest and relax and heal. I just wanna be left alone.
