Women of Strength

[mommyin10]

A Strong Woman VS. A Woman Of Strength


A strong woman works out everyday to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realiizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Good morning!  So, my temp is back up...  Now I wonder if it was an implantation dip, just a c r a p p y night's sleep Tues night (which it was) or if my chart is just playing tricks on me...  Ugh!  I'll know soon enough :)  Thanks for all your nice words!

Stacey:  Thanks for the note :)  I would normally get AF around 18dpo.  Back in July/Aug it was closer to 13dpo.  So, who knows!?

jmh2005:  Let's hope au naturale is all you need ;-)  Best wishes!

Candie:  Thanks :)  You're so sweet!  You may not have missed your surge.  Sometimes I get cm up to a week before my +opk.  Keep testing & good luck!!!

Lina:  Thanks for the notes & the website :)  Just one more day to go...

leighanne:  How long did the belly cast take?  Even though it wasn't "fun", I definitely want to try that some day :)  What a great idea & a wonderful keepsake!

Hannah:  I understand you not wanting to see a bfn.  I personally would have tested by now, but it's your decision.  Maybe your doc wants you to do an HSG exam?  That's a scan of your uterus & tubes.  I hope you get some answers soon!!! :)

pyar:  Thanks :)  Yes, many times I feel like my chart plays tricks on me, so I really shouldn't read too, too much into it, but it's hard not to! :)  Please don't beat yourself up (or dh!) for what "could have been".  I've done that & it just doesn't do any good.  Dh & I have been together since we were 15 & 17, together for 21 years & married for 11.  We just started ttc two years ago because we wanted to get the house, the careers, etc., etc. first.  I was on birth control pills for 16 years!  I look back & think, why was I trying so hard not to get pregnant?!  Why didn't I start trying sooner?!  It s u c k s, but there's no way to go back, so we just have to appreciate what we have & hope we are blessed some day soon :)  Best of luck to you! :)

Babymamma:  I put you back at CD17.  You'll usually O within 24-36 hours from your +opk, so keep up the bd'ing today & tomorrow!  Congrats on the +opk & good luck!!! :)

dnikki:  Come on, AF!  I sure hope she shows soon for you, so you can move forward :)  We've been remodeling our home for the past 3 1/2 years, so I can understand where you're coming from.  I am finally seeing the end of the road, so I'm excited!  I'm sure you'll get there, too.  Hang in there!

mrspace:  You're taking clomid, aren't you?  That can attribute to having a sour mood.  Hang in there!  You & dh have had a tough week on top of ttc & everything else.  It'll get better :)

Good morning everyone!
I'm 4dpo and doing alright.  This month has been terrible for side effects.  I have insane amounts of pain and nausea and heartburn.  It's driving me crazy.  But oh well.  After all that's gone on, emotionally, this last week, I'm exhausted.  I just got to work a little while ago, so I have a full work day ahead of me.  I just want to go home and sleep, and stay in bed.  I don't want to get out of bed at all.  I feel a little more depressed than usual despite the anti-depressants.  I just can't seem to pick myself up from all of this.  I feel constantly negative, despite my attempts of being positive.  

Last night I tried doing some of DH's "chores" to see if it picked up my mood.  He really only doesn one thing in the house and that's the dishes.  Well he hasn't done them in a week! And we don't have a dishwasher.  So to be nice, when I got home, I did half of the dishes, vaccumed the kitchen, swept the living room and dining room, and I did 2 loads of laundry.  I haven't folded them, but oh well.  After that I got really tired so I sat down, worked on my website, and watched some tv.   Unfortunately DH had a MUCH worse night than me.  His "kids" were terrible.  The kids at the juvenile school that he works at.  They were back to being disrespectful and rude and awful.  So DH was in a bad mood.  He's been working with these kids for almost a year.  And tonight they just went back to their old ways.  So he felt like after all that work..it was for nothing.  Hopefully they will get better.  But when DH got home, he started to take it out on me.  He got mad at me for not doing ALL of the dishes.  It was okay.  After a while he cooled off and we talked and it was fine.  It's just been a negative week in the Pace household.

mommyin09- I am excited to hear the results of your beta tomorrow!  I hope all goes well.  My fingers are most definately crossed.  Thanks for being a constant sourse of positivity for me!

luvkayln- I hope you're doing well hun.  I think your beta is today, so I hope you get good news, for sure.  My fingers are crossed.  You are wonderful.

pyar- Thanks for the kind words.  Obviously I'm still venting (as you can tell from what I wrote above). And I'm really not trying to be negative. I'm really not.  It's just been a bad week.  To start out my week with the death of a friend just... it kind of put me in a tailspin and I'm still trying to figure out which way is up and which way is down.

dnikki- Girl you're amazing!  Just in case you hadn't heard that yet today. I'm so excited to see what new things you've put up in the store.  I'm still working on all of my stuff.  I made a few more designs last night but it's going to be a while before I can add them all.  I'm so sorry for your bfn.  It'll happen for you.  I know it will.

Hey ladies...Thanks for all your kind words through the bfn and dh and I. As of yesterday, we are fine lol...I'm just so tired of being in this house! It's been 10years in the works lol. He used to be his own boss and was able to work on the house all the time, but last year the vendor he worked for basically said you have to come on as our emloyee or we won't use you anymore. Which really s u c k s because he's now doing 2 jobs (instead of the one) at that company and still getting paid the same as if he were doing it himself. But we will get this house done eventually lol. There's not a whole lot I can do until the drywall is finished upstairs. But for anyone who isn't in our thread that's reading this...DH and I love each other very much. If we didn't, we wouldn't be married or ttc.

Hannah: I can understand you not wanting to test - but girl you have WAYYYYY more strength than I do! Good luck and let us know as soon as you know anything!!

mommyin09: Let's see that BFP!!!

Luvkayln: You too girl!!! I want to see BFP's this time!!!

Babymamma: Congrats on the +OPK!!! Get to bd'ing lol :-) Good Luck!!

Well, I thought af was going to show this morning...no sign, which is c r a p p y...I just want her to show her ugly face and get it over with lol...I think I'm like CD 33 or 34... we'll see!!
