Teachings from the X-Files

I recently confessed to my geeky hubbs that I have never seen "The X-Files" TV show.  He was in complete denial that his loving nerdy wife could have passed up on what he considers one of the ground breaking TV shows of the Sci-Fi world. So here I am, on a lazy afternoon, deep in …

My eyes are different.

Something's changed.  Something's different in the way I see people and things in the world.  Things I used to take pleasure in no longer appeal to me.   I used to go get a pedicure with some of my girlfriends regularly.  It was a time for relaxation and gossip.  I always felt rejuvenated afterwards.  A …

Stupidly Happy at being Successful? … Happily Successful at being Stupid? … or Successfully Stupid at being Happy?

It's no secret. The idea of school is messed up right now.  "Private school is better than public school," "you have to go to college to get a good job," "Success = Happiness."  We push and push and push our kids to always want more, to always be more, to always be better than everyone …

It’s just another Sunday.

At least it is for me. Mother's Day is a bit of a sore subject for most of the infertility support groups I'm in.  It's not that we don't love our mothers, grandmothers, mother-in-laws, etc.  We just don't love ourselves right now. Happy Barren Womb Day!  Happy Angel Baby Day!  Happy Sunday!  These are what …

My body and my mouth don’t get along

Cake...  Cookies...  Rare steak...  Crispy bacon...  Popeye's fried chicken and biscuits...  I love food, but food doesn't love me. Over a year ago I was diagnosed with Gluten Sensativity (my doctor believes it exhists and I've seen the results of elimination, so all you gluten haters keep your comments to yourself).  I had to change …

Decisions from a Pisces, or not…

My first day blogging showed off my Pisces personality beautifully.  One post full of humor and the other more heavy and dreary.  When I decided I was going to start a blog, it was going to include all the fun things Hubbs and I have coming up.  Baby adventures, travel, etc.  As I thought more …

The Backstory

Hubbs and I met 8 years ago.  Come November, we will have been married for 7 of those years. On the outside, we look like a normal, southern, middle class couple.  Got the house with a yard, two cars, and a neighborhood swimming pool.  Once you step on the inside, you notice things are a …

The Silence in the Room

Infertility. There, I said it.  It is the silence.  It's the thing no one talks about; even in our close circle of friends and family that know we have been attempting In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). One of my dearest friends called it "A Special Club," but she also said its like Fight Club.  "You don't …
