Good Tuesday morning everyone. I hope this finds all healthy & happy.
Another ovulation test taken, still no surge. It's so much fun peeing on a stick first thing in the morning. Your bladder is so full it hurts. It's all you can do not to piss on your hand because you have to go so badly and the target is small. I need to get some disposable cups to pee in, maybe that would be better.
Today is house work day. Bad as I hate it, it must be done. I am just going to work on one room at a time. The kitchen is my first room. Then the hall bathroom. Then our bathroom. After that, it's not too bad. But those are the rooms that always require attention, and the rooms that I dread! LOL.
I am hooked on Craigslist again. I told you we got a steal on the aquarium. We already listed our 80 gallon. I have some things that fall into my "haven't used or looked at in 6 months" rule, which means they must go. So, I will probably list those as well. We have really got to get an out building soon. We are keeping everything under the carport and we're starting to look like sanford and son! Not to mention, with everything under there, we have a spider problem. So, that is going to have to be a priority very soon. I just am not sure how. I keep an eye out on craigslist, sometimes people are giving them away, if you will just mve them. Right now, there's a free 24 foot pool for free. Would love to have it, but no backyard to put it in, we would have to cut down trees and don't want to do that.
I feel like I have been hit by an aquarium full of water this morning. Wow! I still have another coat of paint to put on it this morning. I would imagine that we will be building the stand and transferring everything this weekend. I need to call our aquarium guy in Belmont and talk to him. He's not open till Wednesday though.
Wednesday night is going to be our date night. Yes, I believe in date night. How else do you force yourself to stop the hectic pace and just spend time together? Even when we have the best intentions, if we are at home, something will interfere. I have really needed some time with Tancy, so Wednesday will be great. We will take my car to get the oil changed, see Paul & have dinner. After that, well, it's not really fair to speculate. Muhaha!
I will say that we work very well together. It's always fun working on projects with Tancy. Like yesterday unloading the aquarium and cleaning it out, etc. Just fun to work with her. We have been together for 4 years (and some change) and she's still my best friend. She's still the person I want to talk to about everything. I love her more now than I did in the beginning. All those things in the beginning, they are still there, just more intense, stronger, better. We compliment each other well and rarely "disagree", we don't fight. We are definitely members of the Mutual Admiration Society! I can say that she is great support during this TTC (trying to conceive) process. I can say just exactly how I feel, even when it's a little on the f'd up side of things and we can talk about it. No judgements, just talk about why I feel that way. She never judges me. It's so great to be with someone who is as excited about the process as you are. I know she is just as eager to be a Mom as I am. I love her. Can you tell?
I am just scratching the surface lately with my blogs, everyday goings on. I am not sure how I have gotten away from talking about other things, but I have. Maybe I have just been on overload due to our schedule, not sure. But hopefully soon, this will not only be a way to keep everyone informed about our goings on, but also return to being a creative outlet for me. I just can't force it. I will say, there have been a couple of things recently I have wanted to blog about and wouldn't because I didn't know how to do it without hurting anyone's feelings. Once I figure that out, protecting the innocent... or not so innocent, I'll be writing again like crazy! Haha.
Till then kids. It's about time for me to get out of my night gown and into some ratty work clothes and get to cleaning! Fun. But hey, I can't complain... lots of you are working today & will be cleaning this weekend. I am greatful for this time at home and to be Suzie Home Maker. I have just gotten out of my routine. Have a great day!
Love to all!

Hey Girlie! So...... what kind of fish do you have today? We have a 92 gallon bow front that is in our basement. It is a "corner" tank and we just don't have a good place in the house we built to put it! I have never used Craigs list.... I think I'll go take a look! Have a good one!
Love ya!
@fishfrog - Well, our newest fish is a Mandarin Dragon. He's really cool and fairly delicate.
In addition to that, we have a Blue Atlantic Tang, a Clown Fish, a Soldier Fish, a Damsel, a Sea Anemone, a Pencil Urchin, an Aero Crab, a Cleaner Shrimp, a Peppermint Shrimp, 2 Feather Dusters, crabs & snails. Sounds like alot, but it really isn't.
Craigslist.org it's a wonderful thing!! You find your location & post. You can post as many as 4 pictures on your listing. We've found alot of cool items on there for really reasonable prices & sold items on there too. I recommend it to anyone.
One caution: What they say is true, you CAN find anything you want on there... but if you aren't looking for anything it doesn't find you.
Love ya! Have a great day.
Hey Jodie! Hope the ovulation is kicking in today. Look for that egg white mucus-y stuff right!!
If you saw the numco blog you found out we are expecting another baby in January! Ack! Only 6 short months from now. It's all good, it's just going to be a busy few years for us.
We weren't really trying but it turns out if you don't use birth control you actually get pregnant! Who knew! Hee, hee. I shouldn't be surprised, my mom had four kids so it's in the genes I guess.
Anyway, I'm sending some of my fertile hormones to you! Good luck.

@jeanette - Congratulations!! That is awesome. We will probably try to have ours close together, ya know, you and Tancy are the same age... lol... she worries about being too old to play with our kids!
Love you guys! Kiss Luca for us.
