Hallo!

I have been busy being un-busy! :O)

We are officially TTC as of October and I have just finished my first BFN cycle :O(
Of course I am a little sad but I could tell it was coming so I think I had some time to get used to the idea that it wasn't to be this cycle. I am just impatient to try again! ;)

On a bright note my cycle was a reasonable length this month, last time I had a 36 day cycle, it drove me half crazy. This time it was an even 30 and with clear ovulation signs as reinforced by positive OPKs & maybe baby. About a 12 day luteal phase as well which is ok.

So I'm just waiting it out really. This cycle I am going to try charting my BBT as well.

Tomorrow we go to mums for the weekend then on Monday i check into my favourite resort for a night away by myself. I am soooooo excited! I am going to have a shameless "Laguna Beach & The Hills" marathon. It's awful TV and I love it-so shoot me!

Hayd and Grace will join me sometime on Tuesday and we will spend a further couple of nights there together, probably just lazing about at the beach and in the beautiful pool they have there. Then we will come home where Hayd will have 4 more days at home before he goes back to work. I know Grace and I will be very sad to see him leave as we love having him here.

Uni starts back mid November and I am a twit who is doing summer semester again. Fingers crossed I cope better than last time.

Anyways that's me for now, hugs and kisses

Shamelessly pinched!

EDIT: Yes Marshy-made my day! ;)

Marshy and the pregnant godess.....

Pregnant Godess-are you f-ing kidding me????? Every time I read idiotic comments after people's IE posts I want to screech at each and every one of them. Especially yours, cause I know how frustrated you get, and Tato's grrrrrrr. Every single time! Morons!

Marshy- :( I wasn't so bothered by that one, but methinks it's just because I have heard that many ridiculous comments today that that one seems more tolerable. It seemed more of a dig at starbucks and their over indulgent use of the whipped cream/sugar combo than overweight people.

But i get what you are saying. Obesity is a complex issue and simplifying it in that way is both stupid and pointless. Not too mention the implication that all fatties do nothing but drink maxi cups of starbucks all day-but that might just be my jaded slant on it because today I feel fucking tired and fed up.

(((shakes head)))

People shit me to tears! seriously, I'm so sick of being surrounded my moronic women.

Sorry, i'm feeling frustrated. I'm so tired of hearing about size and weight and the evils of this that and eveything else. It's fucked up. It really is and the irony is that it is swallowed up like chocolate. Chocolate covered bullshit.

That is all.

B.E.D, One man's story

I think this blog has a real feminine feel to it. That's just me, I'm a girly girl. I haven't failed to realise though that ED's affect many, many men-it's just easier for me to talk about the issues from a female perspective,because I am one (well , der!!!).

So just for a change, here's a story from a man's perspective.

Also quite interesting!

Gotta love google books!

This is interesting! http://books.google.com.au/books?hl=en&id=YxlqtRl9FiIC&dq=binge+eating+disorder&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=uIhvBu2PNz&sig=XFQoSuvIys8jLdK4yMeIyG1e7Co&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=6&ct=result#PPA3,M1

I haven't had a chance to read it through entirely yet but I thought that I would share it while I have it open, because it is likely to disappear into the abyss that is my inbox otherwise.

Let's read and chat later! ;)

change?

We have been thinking about a move recently. Away from the coast and further inland where living is much cheaper. We have lived in this house for quite a long time now and half of me loves my little beach shack-ocean views, sea breezes, large yard, quirky vintage 'feel'.

But the other half of me sees the big for sale sign out the front and knows that our time here is limited anyway. And watches the rents around here on even the oldest of houses like ours skyrocketing. Our family is growing and we need more space and the "oldness" of this house feels like a worry to me with bubbas on the cards.

But the thought of leaving the beach makes my heart ache a little. Living by the ocean is good for the soul and I would love for our children to grow up here. But I'm not sure if I can trade a new, spacious, safe home with functional living spaces for the ocean-and that's not even including how much it is going to cost us to continue living here.

We are on the one income right now and probably will be for the forseeable future. I want to be home with my children and darn it I want to finish my degree and see it through. I owe it tomyself and I think I owe it to my family who in a way have probably missed out on a few things because of my choice to stay home and study-then again they have probably gained too from having me here. I don't know, my thinking goes round and round in circles.

What do you guys think? If we move we will live in a much more practical house that fits comfortably within our budget-but we will miss out on the joys of living by the coast. If we stay we are probably going tohave to live somewhere smaller (which we really can't do) or much crappier (which is not really what I want for my family). And if we stay our budget continues to be stretched whilst our options become more limited. But do you think the "lifestyle" is worth it?

If we move, we retain some leeway in our budget which allows for more savings and security plus the potential to have our own home sooner. But the ocean.........how I love the ocean-it's kind of like leaving a piece of my heart behind.It feels so right living here.


eeeeeeeekkkk!

your thoughts?
