Miracles happen! What do I mean by that? I made PB cookies for our house, as well as bagging half of them up for Carl to take to work. Did I have to? Yeah. But...I would have done it anyhow. I will, frequently, if I make a batch of cookies, give Carl half of them to take to work to share. But he has to bring in treats tomorrow. They rotate at who brings in treats on Fridays and it was his turn this week. So I had to figure out something, and I was in the mood for PB cookies, so I just made a full batch (there would have been way too many for our house anyhow!) and I split them in half and put half in a Ziploc for Carl to take to work tomorrow. Then I did my dishes. I folded the GIANT mountain of clothes in my room that I haven't folded in a month, at least. Yeah, I'm a pig about cleaning my room. I rarely clean it. I just wash clothes, dry them, and throw them in the pile that mounts on my floor and out of the basket. I suck at cleaning my room. I used to be a clean freak. Not sure where that went! Though, a part of me wishes I still was. When I was with my ex, I was cleaning everything all the time, and I did a really good job. Now my cleaning is half ass, at best. But oh well. My room has a floor again! I've nearly polished off a pot of coffee too.

As far as my fertility problems, I do have PCOS, which is what it is. I can't do anything about that and that's okay. The part that sucks is that I have trouble having kids! My conception rate is low. Its there, but its extremely low! So she told me to make an appointment with the OB/GYN (who, by the way, is FANTASTIC! she placed and removed my IUD a while ago and she's just such a great person!) to discuss my options. She figures I'll get put on Metformin (which is a common course of treatment with PCOS patients) and that my insurance might just cover Clomid (she thought it was covered with my insurance cuz now it's pretty cheap and can be offered in a generic form). So I'm hopeful! I'm hoping that its covered! At least then I'd have an option to work with. But, and even though we don't really have the money, I'd be willing to give up things in order to afford some form of treatment to help us get pregnant. Its just that important to me. I'm so lucky to have such good friends who don't preach to me to "just be grateful for the child you have cuz some people are never able to get pregnant" or to "just get over it and accept it". I swear, if I ever hear that one again, either of those, I'll just blow a cork and rip the person a new one on how they need to learn sensitivity (among other things). I've kept my mouth shut when I hear it. It's not that I'm not grateful for my son and my husband, because I'm very grateful. Its that my family feels incomplete and my husband is very supportive of any steps I want to take to help that along. At any rate, I'm SO grateful for the friends I have and how understand you all are!

For the record, flies have got to be almost the most annoying little problem that there is! My house has TONS! SO annoying! I also put some wood in my wood stove. Thankfully Carl brought in enough last night so I can keep it going today. Doesn't take much when its still a little warm out (45*). Yes, that's still a little warm to me! In MN it is anyhow! And anyone living in crazy cold climates like ours would understand why I say 45* is still a little warm! The only reason I throw on a coat when I go out is cuz its steady rain here. We even had thunder earlier! We do have a space heater in our living room, which is nice for when I let the fire go down too far and it gets chilly in here!

Hmm...what else? Not much that I can think of. OH!

Tomorrow I get to go to town! Yay! I get paid and then I'm going to the bank to deposit some into Carl's account (to help pay bills) and then the rest I get to ding around with. Well, I decided since my anniversary is this month that I'd go get my hair done. So I'm getting it styled (don't want to take the length off really), dyed and highlighted! I'm SO excited! I LOVE getting my hair professionally done! Then I'll run to Walmart, do my assignment for group (get a trigger food that I normally eat right after I get it which starts my grazing/bingeing and get it HOME without eating it! -- it's called densensitization), and then come home and around 6 Carl and I will leave to go out for supper to celebrate our anniversary that falls on a week day and then we'll go to Walmart to get stuff we need since he didn't have time on Monday to do it (yay for me cuz now I can buy a few things!).

NOW, that's it, as far as I can figure!
