So we finally know that it's more a male factor than me (though, I still don't ovulate regularly). We were told that we needed to do IUI due to his viscosity. I had to have progesterone injections in November to start my period. We were supposed to wait for the first IUI until I was up to 2000 mg of Metformin, which I reached about 3 weeks ago. SO, we had been planning that this month was going to be the first month we got to have the IUI.

I started my period today, exactly 31 days since my last one started, without progesterone. This is the first time this has happened in a good year...I either go 60-90 days or have to use progesterone. Anyway, I was so excited to call the Dr.'s office and tell them. The nurse's response was "Oh, gosh, darn the luck. We better start next month because we are closed the 24-5th and you will ovulate between those dates."

I wanted to cry. I know it's just another month, but really it's going on 6 years. I keep telling myself that it's all in God's time anyway, and that obviously this egg is not the 1/2 of what is supposed to be our child...but that just hasn't seemed to work today...

Hell, I mean, Pampa has frozen over. Now it's 14 degrees, but feels like -4. The low tonight is 7. Hight tomorrow is 23. We still have snow on the ground from last Tuesday. I know that I'm build more like a polar bear than a flamingo, but I'm so not cut out for this.

Happy Birthday, Moe!

It's currently 22 degrees and feels like 6. We just got back from Amarillo where we stopped at Bahama Bucks and I got a snowcone. It's really no different than the people that drink coffee in the summer time. But it was kind of weird being able to see my breath running back to the car carrying my snowcone. Sure was good though.

I really need to be wrapping presents or going to the grocery store, but instead I'm doing absolutely nothing online...just randomly clicking to see random things. Like did you know that there used to be a camel native to North America? It's actually more closely related to llamas, but modern day camels--both dromendary (1 hump) & bactrain (2 humps) did evolve from it. I also looked up pepper. Like the black stuff that we shake into food. I was thinking about it and I didn't know where it came from exactly. Seems it's a crushed dried berry. Good to know.

I just watched Sydney White and thought it was so cute! It made me proud to be a dork, not that I'm not always proud, but you know. Her boy in it was cute too--and when he had the guys sing to her in the library it was SO sweet!

It's supposed to snow up to 3 inches on Tuesday. I'm scared. I'm not ready for this. I thought that I was, but now that it's here... I'm not. I'm ready to go home, DFW that is. Or Mexico. Mexico would work too.

BTW, am I the only human alive that had never heard of Twilight and when I did watch the preview, thought it looked dumb? I hate vampires. Go to a cosmetic dentist and a good dietician and get over it.

Did I mention that my great-grandmother's name was Twilight? Right now my name for a girl is Victory Twilight. That's fun to say. And I was pondering it before the dumb movie came out. But we have to get prego first...working on that...IUI soon!

I never got around to posting what all I'm thankful for this year, but I would like to share a few things that my 4th graders are thankful for according to an essay they wrote last week:

tables
chairs
water slides
deer jerky
"licktrisety" (electricity)
my soul
my covers
insects
fishes
"speshil pepul" (special people)
my sweet skills

HA! They amuse me. I am thankful for them!
