Getting Real

ok so i have a ton of things to post like......
whats on my phone what i wish i wore wednesday among other things
but i decided to just get real, you know actually "journal" what i started this for
i am not sure why i feel the need to write about my life for the whole world to see. its so weird because i cant even put into words why i do it. i am usually extremely happy and try to see the good in everything (besides the users and abusers in the ER but thats a whole other story) but tonight i am having trouble seeing the good in....... anything. first let me start off by saying my mother is a saint. she seriously always knows what to say and is there for me no matter what. she is the epitomy of "call up momma when all else fails". without her im pretty sure i would be a mess. ok so whats this all about???? INFERTILITY! you know the big pink elephant in the room. the reason i layed on the cold floor tonight sobbing. poor hubs helpless. hes hurting too. i know it is different with guys but he tries so hard to be there for me. infertility is a nasty nasty thing it can be crippling at times. i know if your reading this and you have been there you understand and if your reading this and dont understand its really ok, you dont have to say anything just hug your babies a little tighter knowing that you have them. i have always wanted to be a mommy i mean its a BIG thing for me. we have tried and tried and tried and TRIED, nothing, not even a glimmer of hope. and before you ask what all have you tried? Why don't you just relax? Or say It will happen. The answers are too many, because we want it so bad, and that's not good enough. All I want is to see two pink lines! All I am asking for is one, not ten, just one. I am tired of it being my fault i am tired of hearing i am too fat i am tired of hearing that i need to relax i am tired of having to see children neglected at work everyday. I AM JUST TIRED OF BEING TIRED. I am not
writing for sympathy and I am not writing to offend anyone I am simply writing because it
helps. infertility sucks.

The end

This Folks

is why i love hubs.....

supper all ready and yummy for me after a long day of work

if you dont have a hubs like this you should probably go find one

no sorry i wont share

and yes he does have a brother but he is taken too

just sayin

happy monday





an addiction, a breakthrough, and slight withdrawal......and some other goodies

DISCLAIMER: this is an extremely long post, if your anything like me i get annoyed with long posts. i actually just quit reading them and move on to the next but you might not want to miss this one.

that's right

we have some catching up to do!

hi my name is Erica

and i am an addict

i am an addict to alot of things

no its not what you think or what it sounds like

i dont do drugs

im not that crazy!

but i do have a very addictive personality

meaning

if i like something i will be obsessed

its quite weird actually

i could write a whole blog about my addictions to things

but we will save that for another day

wow i feel better now :) that i got that off my chest

ok so here goes

there is this evil little thing called facebook

its an noun, verb, adjective

it became a way of life

it has these uber creepy superpowers

it pulls you in

it entices you with "keeping up with your friends and family"

whatevs its just big brother trying to fake us out

SIDENOTE: (yes i am ADHD)

my beautiful super artistic friend Jaime

introduced me to Angie

another beautiful artistic woman

(on back on track)

they say it best HERE

really? are you guys like in my head or something?

creepy

yes read it, let it sink in

so.......................

i did it, i took the plunge

i DELETED facebook

thats right cold turkey

i am having a little withdrawal here and there

but nothing a little loving from hubs can't fix

jk sorry that was for my friend Heather D ;)

actually truth be told i feel amazing without it

i was asked numerous times

 HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP UP WITH ME?

well, i am going to call, write, txt, visit, email

you know the things we used to do!

it will no longer be: great seeing you, do you facebook, i will keep in touch there

it will now be: oh it's so nice seeing you, i havent seen you in forever, lets have lunch and catch up

bring pictures of your family, heck bring your kids and hubs

ok i feel better now

im not saying you have to do this

i am just saying if you want a support buddy

i am here for you :)

we can beat this addiction!

moving on

the slumber party!

i helped my friend DONNA

throw a slumber party birthday for her Addie

it was so fun!

games, food, movies, gossip

* i must admit me and donna were the coolest party planners

it was pretty rad

scavenger hunt, pizza, pin the tail on the donkey, dance party and more!

donna and i watched

Easy A

when the girls got tired of hanging with us old women

that movie is great!

TGIF!!!!!!!!!

man i miss those days

TGIF

boy meets world, full house, step by step

those were the days

but i do get to do something fun

what are you doing tonight???

i am going to a birthday sleepover!

yes be jealous!

im ready to do hair and make up

play games

eat yummy foods

and act a fool!



a massacre and snow

so your probably wondering what the h!!!!

that looks like a massacre!!!



so its not what you think or even what i thought

it goes like this

i get a txt from hubs saying

care to guess what that is (it was a picture of esmes hair all red)

i flipped

i was like seriously i just lost one cat

ima go crazy if i lost another

i instantly called hubs from work and said

what in the world!!

well let me just let you guess what our silly cat did

thats right gooftroop pulled over the candlewarmer

shes so silly

please dont go dialing KPS (kitty protective services)

we made sure she wasnt burnt and called the vet

we shaved what we could and the rest is just supposed to grow out

atleast she smells good :)

oh and i almost forgot

decor for valentines day is in the making

i love LoVe DaY!

i HATE snow days!

and yes i am going to whine about it

all you people that are gripeing about us

gripeing about snow you can get over it :)

this was my drive home  from work

2 hrs!

this was my ride there

1 hr and 45 mins

I think that gives me a little reason to whine

ok i think thats it

a nicer blog comes tomorrow

i promise :)
