Jeeps, Football and the TWW

Posted Monday, October 20, 2008 4:08 PM

So I didn't write anything last week because I honestly couldn't think of anything that was fun/cool/exciting/interesting about my life.  Things were very quiet around our house for about a week and a half, and my husband and I didn't do much of anything except watch TV.  That is until this weekend.

My husband is one of those people that stays up really late at night during the week and then sleeps until noon on Saturday.  But this last Saturday, we got up early and were at the footbal field by 8:45.  His oldest godson is eight and he is playing his first season of football.  I have never been to a kids football game before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I have to say it was probably the most fun I've had in a long time.  The little boys are sooo cute!  They haven't quite figured out that the pads help protect them from getting hurt when they hit someone or someone hits them so they just ran at each other and then at the last minute turn their heads and kind of bump chests.  It is hysterical!  After the game we went out to lunch with my husband's best friend, his wife and their two sons (hubby's godsons).  We had a great lunch at IHOP and the boys were on their very best behavior which is a rare situation.

After lunch we went to a Jeep parts store looking for replacement seats for my husband's '79 CJ5 Jeep.  It's his hobby car and we've been trying to find decently priced seats for about six months.  We found two cloth seats for $50 each at this store, which was a steal, because they came in with the wrong mounting brackets.  Luckily, all it took to make them work was drilling a few holes in the brackets and they worked great.  We spent the rest of Saturday afternoon putting the seats in, and then went to dinner with a friend.  While we were at the parts store, we also found new mirrors for the Jeep, but hubby didn't have the right wrench to put them on, so our friend that we had dinner with helped us out with that.  The next project on the Jeep is going to be getting a new top and doors, but we'll have to save up for that.

Sunday was quieter, just watched some football and had chinese for dinner.  I have a new found love of the Peiwei chopped chicken salad, and with some edamame, I think it was a pretty reasonable meal.

Now, on the TWW front... here's the link to my chart if your interested http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/22dd0e... I think FF hates me!  Not really, but it is very frustrating.  I don't know if I'm really ovulating or if it's just a trick of the temperatures, but both months that I've charted, I've gotten the dashed lines because my CM doesn't match up with my temps, etc.  So, if I did O on CD19, then I am just at the beginning of the wait, but if I am not really ovulating then I'm just waiting for the next cycle to start so I can do all of this again.  We are considering starting the Clomid next cycle, but my husband wants to talk to the doctor and have some questions anwered about how it might affect my health in the long run.  He's very excited about having children, but he is also very concerned that Clomid has some dangerous side effects.  I'm so lucky that he is concerned and that he is finally coming around about reading and researching things on his own.  So, if you want check out my chart and tell me what you think, or just wish me luck in waiting this all out!
