I have everything read to go for our road trip. Now it is just a matter of waiting for Tator Tot to return. Actually, I should be doing schoolwork, but it is not happening. I refreshed my blog page to see how many visitors were on the site. At least what the online user widget says are visitors. I noticed that my subscription count went down from four to three. Back before I had to take down my site and redo it, I had right around thirty subscribers. It has taken a HUGE dive, where did everyone go?
I realized that I had not blogged any more about fertility since the start of the new cycle. Well today is cycle day seven. I am on my last day of taking soy isoflavones. This time around, I am not getting that sense of energy that I had before. We are still on the road of trying ourselves with temping in the mornings, OPK’s mid cycle and of course doing the baby dance around the time of ovulation.
It seems that my blog has lost its initial purpose, which was to show off my digital scrapbooking. With the start of school and combining it with life, I just do not have time to do anything crafty. In addition, I am missing doing those kinds of things. I know that one of my classes will only have one more seminar then we have a few weeks to focus on our final assignment. So maybe in a couple of weeks, I will have more time to tend those crafty desires I am trying to suppress right now.
Anyway, my whole point of this post was to say that we are still trying. I am just in the middle of the wait for ovulation and that is probably why I have not mentioned it a lot. The link to my chart is over on the side bar. Nothing exciting to report yet.
Tator Tot is on his way home from the eye appointment with my Mom’s husband. It looks like we might be leaving earlier than we originally anticipated. For now, I am going to close. I hope that you have a good morning.

On the weekends, I am not surprised that I get up early. Its my internal alarm clock that keeps me from sleeping in. But what about during the week? Last night Tator Tot was a sleep by seven. This is very rare. I could barely keep my eyes open by a quarter to eight, so off to bed I went. Now at 3:30 like clock work, I was up. Tonight I have another class and then Big Brother is on, so I will surely stay awake until at least eight. So hopefully tomorrow morning I will sleep until the alarm clock goes off.
Go ahead, take a look at my chart. The tell tale signs are just beginning to show. The signs of a new cycle to come. So far, I couldn’t tell you by any physical signs, but the temps never lie. A drop of three tenths of a degree showed up. Positive thoughts for the next cycle. Now my temperature hasn’t dropped below the cover line which is 97.8. On a good note my luteal phase has been extended by one day compared to my previous cycle. Again, comparing with my last cycle, AF didn’t show until my temp did hit below the cover line. Just a day or two and we will know what is going on.
I have to break my thoughts of doing super excellent in school. I want to do good, but I should know by now that I will not do well in every topic. I looked at my grades last night in my Intro to Business class and I didn’t receive all the possible points for the topic of economics. Sure, I was disappointed. But I won;t beat myself up for loosing a couple of points. Perfection is not what I am trying to strive for. Just good grades.
Well, that’s all I have for now. I hope that you have a great day!!
I am not sure why I used a title like that because today being Friday doesn’t mean a lot to me. I have today off of work, yay!! It was such a smart idea to take these past couple of days off from work. Today I would like to get quite a bit of school work accomplished. The two seminars are over. Oh, speaking of seminars, I have to say it was so awesome to be able to attend one and not get kicked out.
I am really confused by my chart today. It looks like my temperatures are much lower than normal. But even if it is a slow rise, I suppose its considered to be ovulation. My Ovusoft program indicated that I ovulated yesterday, but my FF chart hasn’t marked ovulation at all. I guess in a few more days we will know for sure. I just wish this whole TTC’ing stuff wasn’t so much a guessing game.
I created a new theme and posted a poll for my site. I was so excited to be able to get the programs I wanted to work with my new windows vista operating system. I have been trying to find a few plug ins that I used with my last blog, but I don’t remember what I had before. Ugh!! All is good though. I have added a few that are compatible with wordpress 2.6.
This Sunday nascar.com/">NASCAR is back on a channel that we will be able to see. For the past six weeks, it has been on another channel that our small cable system doesn’t get. Actually Tator Tot was trying to watch part of it online, but do to the slow internet … he wasn’t able to do so. Now that its fast again, it will be back on TV. Such is life. I am personally thrilled that DW will not be an announcer for the remainder of the season. So I will certainly be watching too. I am rooting for Michael Waltrip and Dale Jr.
That’s about all I have for now. I hope that you have a great day!!
