Kind of a boring day.

Aaah, I'd forgotten that putting on "Wife Swap" is dangerous. It is like crack! Crack for the brain!

I'm starting to wonder whether it's even worth it to try the last injects/IUI cycle (if this one doesn't work, of course) right now or if I should just try to move to western mass as soon as possible. I'm worried that if Jen is going to stay there without me for an extended period of time, couch surfing is going to get old (for both Jen and the host) and we are going to wear out our welcome with friends. I don't really want to give up on babymaking, especially when I finally got the doctor to agree to be more aggressive this last time, but I know that we can't afford to rent Jen her own apartment out there (while still paying rent here) or to buy a house there while we still have this apartment. So once again I feel stuck in a major dilemma.

My coworker told me today that she is planning to try to get pregnant next summer and hopes to leave our job at the end of her second trimester in December. I really am hoping against hope that things will go according to her plan. But how nice would that be, if it could just be planned like that? I wish I could just say, "Yeah, it would be best if this cycle was successful because it would help our timing," and have it be true. Because, man, I am a MAJOR planner!

I also wish I had given a fake phone number to the car dealers because they will not stop calling me. I know that is their job but it is seriously making me not want to buy a car from either of them. Maybe I will go to another dealer and just buy a car that day. Bleh, I hate salespeople stuff.

I don't like the way "Wife Swap" tends to portray homeschooling. They always have the homeschooled kids be way behind in their educations and stuff like that. Homeschooling can totally work. I don't think it's for me, and I do believe in supporting the public school system, but I also know that there are homeschooled kids who are incredibly successful. So, enh. But next episode is supposed to involve a woman obsessed with pirates. BRING IT ON!

I've also become hooked on the Gold Rush games.

I think you should try the last cycle. Maybe you could leave right after they do the injection thing. You never know when you will be able to start trying again so might as well take the chance. And if your friends really get sick of Jen on the couch she could always stay in a hotel for a week or something.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but my worry is that it will not be a week, yanno? I mean, in a given cycle we do about 10 days of Follistim injections, one day of trigger shot, and two days of inseminations. Then we don't know if it worked for two weeks, although I suppose I could leave and drive way back for that... but if I leave my job, I leave my health insurance, too.

So it would be like a month. At least. Because it is WAS successful, I don't know if we would want me to pack up and move until we at least heard the heartbeat. Sigh.

Why couldn't you move before you heard the heartbeat? Because of the health insurance issue? Couldn't you get on under Jen's health insurance plan or do they not allow that?

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, Jen's new insurance won't start for (I think) 30 days after she starts her job. But mostly because I will be a total wreck until I see a heartbeat and I think it would be better to at least get a little peace of mind before trying to pack and move a house!

Wouldn't it be great if it could be planned? I had this great plan when I first started trying that I would get pregnant in March, take my maternity leave starting in November, and then wouldn't be stuck without vacation days the next year. Now I'll be lucky if our department doesn't get eliminated before I even get to my maternity leave. I wish the planning were up to us. :(

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Me too. I am such a planner. I like to be a very scheduled person. This lack of planning drives me batty!

Don't pee your pants....

One of my derby league mates is being interviewed for Wife Swap. Her hubby is a tattoo artist, and they have an awesome 6 year old girl. If she gets in, the swapee will have to come do derby practice with us. We're totally keeping our fingers crossed....and we want someone obnoxious for her to switch with.

Thanks for the link. I liked the pirate family but I hate how everything gets edited!

Hey! I've Tivo-ed The Amazing Race this season (of course!) and I know I've been trying to get you to watch it. Is this something you would be interested in watching with me? You could come over perhaps once a week or so and we could watch it together. OR, I can download it to my laptop and visit you, but then we have to watch on a laptop.

Interested? Since Survivor night isn't working out so well.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

I might be convinced to watch a little Amazing Race with you. At least until I blow town. :)
