Update

Nothing serious at the ENT, thank goodness. He's concerned about the fever but wants me to do a saline spray daily and come back in 2 months. If I get this recurring thing again, he said we may look into a CT scan of my sinuses but hopefully won't have to do that. He saw nothing obstructive today. :)

I'm kind of odd in that I like to do things (some things) by myself. On the way to the appointment this morning I was thinking how I miss that part of the drive when we made it for fertility trips: the anticipation of finding out more, exciting news and maybe the chance of our IUI working that trip. I try not to bother you all with the negatives of all of this. But I am at a point right now where I don't know what else to do. I don't want to do the "next step." I just wanted it to happen with what we've tried. I don't know what else to pray anymore. If I pray about it constantly does that mean I'm worrying about it and don't have enough faith? If I pray about it only a few times, does that mean I don't care enough to pray about it all the time? I don't know. And honestly I'm tired of praying about it. I pray the same thing. And I know God has to be shaking his head and chuckling at how ignorant I am!

So, I did a little retail therapy this afternoon. Not much, mostly just browsing but I love to do that by myself. So I got in a full day.

5K in the morning, Hogs game tomorrow afternoon. Busy weekend, but I like it.

ENT time

Well folks, tomorrow I'll be making the same drive as my fertility clinic; only this time I'll stop a mile or so before the clinic to see an ENT physician. I have had about a 24 hour infection every 4-6 weeks for about 6 months now. Each time I go to our local clinic, I get a different answer as to what it is. I've had (according to them): ear infection, sinus infection, possible tick fever, and respiratory infection. It all feels the same to me each month. Starts out with a lump in the back of my sinuses. Trying to get it out, I make my throat very sore. Then comes the fever, body aches, etc. I take sinus meds and alternate tylenol with ibuprofen and sleep for about 15 hours...and it's gone in about 24 hours. It's weird (and gross...I apologize) but as soon as I get that "lump" out, I feel fine. Is this weird or is it just me? I cannot go the rest of my life getting this every few weeks. It is not fun. So please pray that all goes well and it is not anything major.

It's starting to feel like fall out there...and I like the coolness but NOT the cold. Maybe it will just stay "cool" for awhile.

I leave you with this fine specimen. Found him in Wal-Mart :) He thinks he looks like Jay Gregory on the wild outdoors...

Have a fabulous Friday!

kick to the box and WPS!

I've done this in college, but this class is a lot more intense than a free college class. Charity and I have been doing kickboxing 4 nights a week with a ripped instructor. I like this because as I'm working out I sure am hoping I look like her someday. I mean really, killer legs. We jog after class and one day Lisa went with me instead of Charity. We did sprints, and I found out quickly I cannot do them. I sure do try to run fast but she smoked me. I don't do them anymore. It's for the birds.

I'll be glad when the hogs play a close game. Don't get me wrong I love to watch them (last week's game didn't come on tv, so we decided to eat at Hooter's and watch the game for free!). And, Hooter's is so not all it's cracked up to be. They wear 80's workout gear. Eww. Anyway, tonight we went to some friends house to watch the blowout game. Had some fine halftime entertainment by two lovely 4 year old's and a 2 year old. Love all those babies. They pretended like they were Selena Gomez and put on a fantastic show :)

Baby News:
None. Please continue to pray. Still taking a break. It's hard because I enjoy the time not worrying about days of ovulation and driving back and forth for appointments but at the same time really want a family. Pray God blesses our "break." :)

House News:
We decided to wait. Not knowing what we may be getting into with the fertility thing scares me. And we are content and blessed with what we have now.

What started as a hobby has quickly turned into a small business. I've opened a separate checking account for my things I make so I can keep up with it better, and also to make sure I don't need to be paying in taxes on it. I don't figure I will but I sure do not want to get in trouble! And anything to do with taxes or IRS scares the heck outta me. So, here's my new logo. Switched to 323 Designs (Colossians 3:23). Like that much better.

If you know me, you know I HATE birds. But these mod birds and owls and cute little things I do like. Just not real ones. Least favorite thing when we go to the zoo, or Chicago for that matter. Those birds are everywhere and don't care if you are walking and they get in your way....enough of the birds. Just liked this picture. And hopefully it will be me, Kyle and baby Klober someday soon...hahaha!

Here is my massive to do pile, and that is just shoes. I have a canvas, picture frame and bin to paint also. So I'm going to take advantage of this long weekend. Priorities first; I'm checking facebook and blogging!!
