The Waiting Game

Well, I'm just an antsy mess right about now.  I keep telling myself it's no big deal and that it would be BEST to get KU and be due in April or May for my job anyway.  But no, I keep thinking, "how great would it be if I were KU this month!?!"

The only reason for me to think that is the temp dip I had at 11DPO.  Which is silly because everything else tells me AF is coming.  When I compare my chart, my temps are still right in line with the other BFN cycles.  And I have lots of cramps that come and go, just like with AF.  But the fact that I thought I was out and was going to have a short LP on Saturday and then it turned around has me hopeful.

That and L has started to take an interest in TTC more.  And now HE'S excited and hopeful.  Oh, well.  We'll see what happens I suppose.  Based on my normal LP, AF should be here tomorrow or Wednesday...

Whiny Pants

)So, L is the kind of guy who freaks out if he doesn't get to have sex for more than a day or two.  Seriously.  He freaks out and acts like he NEVER gets to have sex.  He put up with it for the last month or so since I threw my back out, but even that is pushing it for how little we have had sex.  And if it's my idea, he's always game!

I got a +OPK yesterday afternoon.  So when we went to bed I was like "hey, let's get it on".  I didn't tell him about the OPK.  He doesn't believe in having sex just so you get pregnant and I promised him that we would be respect each other and only have sex when we feel like it while trying to get KU.  Which normally isn't a problem since he always wants sex.

Until last night.  When he was like "I don't feel good and I'm grumpy".  Yep, totally got turned down for sex by the person who NEVER does that at the worst time possible.  Here's hoping he's feeling better tonight!  :)

Coals Under the Fire

So, I am almost to the end of my grad school journey.  This is my final semester.  I have completed all of the required coursework.  I am nearly done with my 1500 hours of intership.  I passed the School Psychology PRAXIS exam (joke) and I successfully defended my comprehensive case study last Friday).  The only remaining hurdle is my thesis.

If I want to graduate in time to not have to extend my license, etc. I have to defend my thesis by June 10th.  Which means I have to have a final copy submitted to my committee members by May 28th.  As of last Friday, I had the majority of Chapters 1 and 2 completed.  They just needed to be updated since it was over and a half ago that I wrote the Master's paper. 

So after relaxing Friday evening after the comp defense (gotta have some time to relax!) I got down to work.  Saturday and Sunday I completely knocked out draft of chapters 1-4.  Yeah, I rule.  And when I told my chair last Wednesday that I'd get a copy to him this week, he was like "yeah, ok".  He emailed me back right away and said "wow, you've been busy!".  :)  I know they need work, but I wanted feedback so I could fix them next weekend!  I'm on the way. 

Ok, enough of being an attention whore and talking myself up.
