Negative…

Big fat negative…

There’s a first time for EVERYTHING!

Today was an extremely draining and emotional day! I finally confronted two colleagues about some unprofessional and ridiculous behavior that’s been brewing since school started (I’m a teacher). If you knew me you, would know confrontation is one of my least favorite things. You would also know that I would go to blows for my kiddies (students). So it finally boiled to my breaking point and I let them have it! I said what needed to be said in a professional manner but was sure to be clear that their behavior was inexcusable. I closed with “I would encourage you both to attack issues in the future with professionalism, first thinking of what is in the best interest of our students.” I walked out and went to my car to proceed to my dramatic exit…only to find a flat tire waiting! GREAT! Hubby was at work and couldn’t leave so this happened….

There is truly a first time for everything folks! I am in fact capable of putting air in my own tire (with of course detailed directions from hubs)!

Add in a screaming headache, a student that claps and screams all day, breakfast and recess duty (30 degrees) and that was my day! Tomorrow is the day I’ll take my pregnancy test! I’m hoping I can blame my headache and my uncharacteristic confrontation on pregnancy hormones! Here’s to hoping!

Two weeks is a LONG TIME!!!

As previously discussed, every month since we began “trying” I’ve devised an elaborate plan for making my pregnancy announcement to my hubs and to our families. Thanksgiving would have been perfect! I had a plan for Johnny, my family and his all ready to go! Everyone was together and it would be an awesome way to kick off the holiday season! So…I took a home pregnancy test on Wednesday morning and got a negative and again on Thursday, just in case, and again got a negative. I was bummed but my hubby reassured me that a Christmas announcement would be even more fun (why is he encouraging me?)! Thanksgiving with our families was still wonderful!

Okay, I was due for Aunt Flow on Friday and of course she was right on time, with all of her regular symptoms (making 12 hours of Black Friday shopping pretty uncomfortable). The only difference was it was much lighter than my normal on the first day and the second and third were just barely spotting! Weird, I’m always very regular! After a lot of “googling” and a self-diagnosis of pregnancy, cancer or random hormonal changes…I decided to call my doctor. What did she say? Wait two weeks (yeah right!) if you get a negative in two weeks…don’t worry about it?!?! First of all, 2 weeks is a LONG TIME and is that 10 days or 14? Secondly, if you get a negative don’t worry about it? Seriously? I’ve had the same 4 to 5 day Niagara Falls period since I was 13! It’s all of the sudden changed and I’m not supposed to worry about it? COME ON! So of course, I’m going to get some pregnancy tests this evening and I’ll test first thing in the morning! I should probably have stock in EPT at this point…Ugh! Has anyone ever had similar issues?
