I have lots of thoughts floating around in my head today. I'll just make a random list of them here....
1. Great weekend in many respects, also slightly crappy. On Friday we went to Karen's house and had a great time kicking ass at Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit. Unfortunatly, upon my arrival, Aunt Flo also made her arrival. Gross and unexpected as it was a day early. Also meant we weren't prego. Bummer. Saturday was spent getting our haircut, having lunch with the in-laws, shopping, and getting to see my niece. In a sad moment, Kendall was holding her in a store and a lady came up and asked him questions about her, assuming it was his baby. It made me tear up. Sucked to have to tell her that she wasn't ours. Saturday night we went to game night at Jessica and Aaron's. Sunday was church, yardwork, and TV.
2. Speaking of Saturday...Kendall got his final set of board scores back, and he passed with flying colors! Now he can apply for his medical license and become a fully paid doctor! WHOO! HOO! This means he can officially start looking for a job. Any leads?
3. Church is starting to stress me out. There has been quite a falling out, so to speak, ever since our senior pastor admitted to a porn problem that, rumor has it, lead to an affair several months ago. He was allowed to come back by the church council after only a short hiatus and a week of "intense counseling" with his wife. Many people in our Sunday school class were upset and several couples have already left the church to attend Apex. This has caused a rift between friends. Especially between the "Jessicas". And I'm feeling stuck in the middle. Jessica G-J is hurt that Jessica S decided to leave our church. She's choosing not to speak to her for an undetermined period of time, but she hasn't really told Jessica S she's mad. But she knows. Jessica S, as you know, just had her baby. This rift is hard on her. Furthermore, it now means I can't hang out with two of my closest friends simultaneously. We used to get together all the time, with our husbands and eat and play games. Now that can't happen. Stress.....
4. Work has been wonderful, except for my boss. He was very insistent on coming in to observe my kids this quarter, even though it as nothing to do with my evaluation this year. He asked me again today when he could come in, I told him whenever he wanted. He chose today to come watch our review game. At the end of the period he came up and acted like he wanted to talk to me about something, and then said, "We can talk later." Whatever, I'm sure he'll have something bad to say to me even though both the kids, and I had a great time. He also asked me when I was going to give him a copy of all of the paperwork for my project (like it was my fault and really late) and I told him, "I emailed it to you a week and a half ago." He's seriously losing it. He's so disorganized and at the same time full of himself. He thinks he's this great leader, but quite honestly, over half of the staff thinks he's a joke. I can't wait til he leaves.
5. TV is officially in full swing starting this week. I can't wait for the Veronica Mars and LOST season premiers.
6. I haven't been to the gym in 4 months. My goal is to start going again 3 days a week.
7. I know I haven't really mentioned baby stuff in a while in my blog. After my public fight with Suzanne, I felt I needed to keep quite for a while. I just figured I'd let you all know that I'm going in for an ultrasound to make sure I don't have anything funny going on in my uterus. The doctor is also running lab work to make sure my immune system isn't killing my embryos. I really like the new doctor. He's taken a lot of stress out of my life by his confident actions and decisions. I'm also not taking Clomid for at least 4 months. I can honestly tell you that I feel like a totally different person after this month. My body really needed a Clomid cleansing. I feel less depressed and I took my period coming a lot easier knowing that it wasn't costing us any money and I wasn't going to have to take any hormones.
Okay, enough. God, I can't believe you read all of this!

Urrr for the purple team doing so well. :-P It just shows that you guys know way to much about Pop culture... either that or you just kept getting the really easy questions. :-D
Hooray for Kendall. That's wonderful and now you can think about "retiring". :-D
Don't stress about church. I can understand that people have harsh feelings and will do what they need to do to feel comfortable. Hopefully things will work out and soon you will be able to have your together time again.
Ugh for bosses that are retarded!
Hooray for TV and not going to the gym in forever. What gym do you belong to?
Hopefully your break from Clomid will be a good thing. I'm still thinking super positive thoughts for you and Kendall.
Thanks again for coming down this weekend. It meant a lot to me that you and Kendall did. :)
The church stuff would be frustrating- turmoil in every aspect! Sorry to hear that. I hope it works itself out soon. Are you thinking of moving to the other church?
** Kisses for a very smart and successful Kendall ** Great job on your tests! Congrats on passing!
Holy cow, this is your longest blog in ages!
Congrats to Kendall! Glad all the hard work is finally paying off.
Sorry to hear about the frustration at church and with the Jessicas. It's always tough when you have a group of friends and someone in the group has a falling out. Hopefully they will be able to remember that the friendship is about them as people and is not dependent on where they attend church.
The switching church things is a problem for us...I feel like I have to stay at this church because Jessica is my best friend and I don't want to hurt her. I feel like she needs some support. It's really sad to see many of our friends going to Apex. We'll stay until we don't feel like we get anything out of it anymore. We may end up changing churches if Jessica and Aaron leave the area for Aaron's job.
It really has to come down to where you are comfortable, and if there is anything at your church that still gives you fulfillment then you should stay. I can understand feeling torn though, that was tough for me when I figured out that I really wasn't catholic, and realizing how much it hurt my father. Being a grown up sucks!
I'm so glad to hear you're feeling so much better - for what it's worth, I think all of us have been really worried about you and your stress level for months.
On church - time will help things work out one way or the other. On the pastor with the problem - it's between him, his wife, and God, and if he's sorry and works to better himself, everyone will be able to overcome it. If he can demonstrate this to the church, maybe in the end they'll all see that he's changed, and that, like everyone else, he's human in capable of making mistakes.
Ok, off the soapbox...
That's exactly how I feel about the pastor. We're all human. We all make mistakes. Unfortunatly for him, he's a public figure. He isn't afforded the same luxury of privacy that many of us are. It just sucks all the way around.
