I HATE Cleaning!!!!!!

Grrrrrrr......I'm ready to call Merry Maids to clean my house. I'm so freaking tired of doing this! It's gross. And I'm getting dirty....Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!

Okay, that makes me feel a little better.

Sometimes it just feels like it's never going to end. The cleaning. And prepping. We have to be ready by next weekend. OMG! We have to be ready by next weekend??!?!?!?! Okay, I really should get back to work....

But first, a funny picture of Karen I came across in said cleaning....

The Amazing World of Google

So after all of the fun I had with Sarah Ford's name, I started researching the possibilites of other people that might become slacking bloggers. Here's what I found. I only researched some names now....I might be inclined to research others later...IF they become slackers! MWAAAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Sarah Williams:

• Did you know that you have official quotes? There's a whole page of them on the web! You also have a short Wikipedia entry that says this: Sarah Williams (1837 – 1868) was an American poet, the author of The Old Astronomer to His Pupil.
• There is also a Sarah Williams who is an actress. She just finished a movie about Jane Austen's life. Which I would actually like to see!
• There are also numerous images of Sarah Williams.

Karen Eutsler: (Although she's the last person that would slack at blogging....)

• Did you know that you are the treasurer of the Grottoes Fire Department in Grottoes Virginia?
• You are also the recording secretary for the Kellogg PTA.
• You also finished 22nd in the 20-24 age group in a 1/2 marathon in Cincinnatti. Here are your official stats: #22 305 Karen Eutsler Age: 21 Town: Franklin OH Finishing Time: 1:57:51 Pace: 9:00

Viki Johnson:

• Did you know a link to your actual blog pops up in the top 5 entries on Google?
• You are also Dr. Viki Johnson, Assistant Professor of Sociology College of Arts and Sciences, Dakota State University, Madison, South Dakota!
• AND you are an Ex-Jehovah's Witness!

Lisa Erdahl: (See! I even put myself down as a potential slacker!)

• I was part of the 1994 Farm Family of the Year in Minnesota.
• I also saved Betty Halligan from her evil son who was trying to steal her home from her through fraudulent paper work.
• I also own a Spa/Message Center in Renton Washington.

I obviously have way too much free time on my hands. Actually, I got today off of work! We had too much ice and fog! Hooray and Boo at the same time! While I appreciate the time off, I also now have to go two extra days to make up for going over our 5 calamity days.

This was SOOOO Much Fun!

So I've been dying for Sarah to slack and not write in her blog. She's been so freaking diligent about posting within a week's time that I haven't had the chance to play this game yet.....UNTIL NOW!!!!! HOORAY!

This girl's name is Sarah Ford. She's riding a pretty pony.

So is this girl's. She's a senator on her school's council.

This Sarah Ford is almost brand new!

This Sarah Ford dances ballet.

There's even a Sarah Ford who's written a book!

But where is our Sarah Ford? Probably doing some Tae Bo when she should be writing in her blog! Write in your blog Sarah Ford! Write in your blog!

My New 'Do

So it's just a little edgier and a little darker. But I love it! Here are two decent shots and then one I messed with in Picasa.

I Have Nothing to Blog About

Really! Nothing! Had three snow days, it was awesome. Had a two hour delay today, got to sleep in. Sweet. Went to work and the kids were wound up. What's new?

The next two weeks prove to be just bizarre at work and home. Only like a week til we put the house up for sale. It's going to sell in the first 30 days....it's going to sell in the first 30 days. Chant with me now!

Maggie and Morrie's Day in the Snow

So I don't have real kids yet, so this is as good as it gets. Some of them are pretty funny. Morrie thought it was necessary to stick his entire face in the giant piles of snow. He took a while to dry off. At one point, Maggie got her sweater off and stuck around her butt! Her back legs actually got caught in the front leg holes and she was dragging her butt through the snow. HILARIOUS!

Weather Maps and Ovarian Cysts....the Title Caught You, Didn't It?!!!

This map makes me SO happy. I really hope they're not full of crap! I would LOVE another 2 day work week. Hell, I'll take a three day work week!

I went to the baby doctor today because my period started....for like the millionth time. Anyways, that's not the bad part. They do an ultrasound on the third day of your cycle every month that you're on Clomid to make sure you're not growing any cysts. In my case, they worry, because I already ovulate on my own and I guess my risk is greater because the Clomid HYPERstimulates my ovaries.

For those of you who aren't as familiar with your ovaries as I am (we're best friends), your ovary makes cysts every month all on its own. That's where the eggs can burst out from. One usually grows bigger than the rest and then, BOOM! The egg pops out of that one and all of the other ones get small again. The cyst that your egg popped out of stays large and produces progesterone, and that is what will keep your fetus alive if you get prego. If you don't get prego, the cyst goes away and the cycle starts over again. That's how normal women work.

In the case of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) patients, you have too many follicles that can become cysts. This leaves the potential for the cyst to grow large and then never go back down.

I fit somewhere in the middle. I have more potential cysts each month that normal women, but not enough to be labeled PCOS. Plus, like I said, I'm weird in the fact that I'm not taking the Clomid to force ovulation, I'm taking it to make extra eggs pop out. So I produce like 3-6 eggs that pop out of cysts each month. Like I said, we're best friends.

Anyways, I have a freaking cyst this month that didn't go down! This is the first time I've ever had a cyst that didn't go back down after my period, which is kind of a bummer. That means we stop all "treatment" and go to the tried and true method of....good old fashioned sex, and nothing but. While Kendall is thrilled, I am slightly disappointed. We still have a chance to get prego, because I'll still ovulate, but I really wanted to avoid the whole sex 10 times thing. UGH!

The good news, we don't have to spend any of that money this month. It costs close to 1K a month. We also don't have to pay for today's ultrasound because it's billed as a health concern. The best news is that the cyst is small enough that it will go away on its own. Jessica has had some that are so big she's had to go on birth control to get them to go back down, which would mean we couldn't try at all this month.

Now that I've educated you all on your ovaries and the joy of cysts.....I'm going back to my Venti Carmel Macchiatto (Women with cysts on their ovaries deserve a Venti) and my obsession with the snow that is supposedly coming. I need to go check at least two more weather sites....
