Oh I am feeling so random today so I am so thankful it’s Tuesday! Prepare for a random roller coaster.

Update on BM10.
We weren’t able to start another cycle because I have two really big cysts on my ovaries. So they put me on birth control pills for a month to try and get rid of them. Ironic, right? We are desperately trying to get pregnant and the put me on birth control? That was a hard pill to swallow. Pun intended. So I am just putting it all in the doctors hands and hoping for the best. I am scared but so hoping we will be able to start another cycle of injections in a couple weeks.

Terrible twos are up in full swing. I may at any moment feel compelled to slit my wrists. But I hold strong in knowing the tween and teen years are just around the corner.
lol
Seriously though. I feel like Monk spends 24 hours a day in time out! I am starting to have my doubts about the effectiveness of this whole “naughty spot” thing.
Oh and his favorite words at the moment are “STOP!” and “NO!” I am pretty sure that random strangers think that I am torturing my child every time we are at the store. Because when I am simply trying to get him to stay in his seat in the cart, he is screaming “NO MAMA! STOP! NO! STOP! NOOOOO!!” all the while continuing to whine and cry in this little you have to feel sorry for him whimper. *eyeroll*

The dogwoods are starting to bloom. They look so beautiful! I need to get a pic to show you. My allergies on the other hand think they are evil.
~~~
We joined a couples group. There are five other couples and we all have kids. I was apprehensive at first but I am super stoked to hang out with other sane adults. I am really looking forward to getting together once a week with them. Lets just hope they don’t all realize I am a complete loon and send me packin. Being around normal people always makes a little nervous.

We went and saw Avatar last night. And OMG how come nobody told me it was that frickin AWWMAZING! I cried and laughed and cheered and cried some more. It was in the top three of the best movies I have ever seen. Maybe even number 1. It was sooooo good! I can’t wait to see it again.
This time I will bring my snuggie instead of having Tank run to the car and get me Monkey’s dinosaur blanket to try and wrap up in. Those theaters are FREEZING!
And FYI, Tank will still be lucky to have a sexy hot Mama on his arm because my snuggie is zebra print. Jealous much?

In the world of blog etiquette, I may not know the code. But I do know what pisses me off. These things piss me off…
- When I comment on someone’s blog several times and they NEVER so much as visit mine. Like WTF? Are they better than me?? Don’t answer that.
- When I ask a question on someone’s blog and they never, ever give me an answer and pretty much just blow me the hell off. Pfft
- The fact that I am following like ten billion (sursly) blogs and I have like 2 people following mine.
- The fact that I am so totally concerned about these things in the first place. Wow I need friends.

You may or may not have noticed when I posted the picture of our NEW AWESOME kitchen table that there was a puzzle on there. See?
It is of Times Square NY. It is a bugger but OH HOW I LOVE IT! <—yes i just yelled that. Out.Loud.
The day that we got our new table, I rushed out to buy a puzzle. I LOVE puzzles and was so excited to finally have a table big enough to build on on.
It’s so nice to chat over a puzzle instead of plant on the couch and watch TV. It’s a lot more time together and I love it. We even spent our Saturday night over Coronas while puzzle building and listening to awesome music. It was one of the best nights we have had in a long time. I had a BLAST. I can’t wait to do it again.

good luck with that couples group, *fingers crossed* it’s not some swingers thing…
i wish you all the luck in the world on trying to conceive…i couldn’t imagine.
you have an award at my place.
.-= staciesmadness´s last blog ..Things people will say hidden behind anonymity. =-.
HAHAHA!!! Oh did I forget to mention that’s what it was? LOL JUST kidding
(or am I? HAHA)
thank you for wishing me luck… it is draaaaaaaaining
I dooooo???
well, I iz sad for you after reading this post
Don’t worry though – you will fit in fine with the “normal folk” (I think???
Your last segment is precisely why I have stopped commenting on so many blogs; let’s just say the “rate of return” has been less than stellar
Damn people why are they not reading our blogs????????
.-= carma´s last blog ..I Hate It When Things Peak and Branding Mommies Leave Me in the Dust =-.
I know! I don’t get it! Cause we are TOTALLY AWESOME!! Gawww!
Argh, the terrible twos? We’re just embarking on toddler-hood, and already I’m at my wits end!
I try to comment on everyone who leaves a comment on my blog– and then some! I find commenting is addictive. As for following blogs, I do everything through RSS feed, so I don’t show up in Google Friends!

.-= Elizabeth @ Confessions From A Working Mom´s last blog ..Queen For The Week: March 14th =-.
Yeah me too. And you are so right… it is so addictive!!
So, so, so glad to be done with the terrible twos forever!
Happy RTT.

Lucky!!!
I really shouldn’t be mean and tell you that Tantrum Threes come after TerribleTwos… right?
Bugs me to try so hard to leave comments and have others not do the same (especially when you see 76 hits on your counter and 2 comments… right?) It’s hard to keep up sometimes though – so just pick who you want to share with. It’s quality, right?
And I wasn’t following you before because ya hadn’t found me yet
I will be in a few minutes!
I think your comments are working now.
And… you were the family stripper, LOL?!!!
Sorry about the icky cycle (and about our PCOS baby… I tried clomid twice and both were spectacular failures. The doc was kind enough to give me a major guilt trip about CAUSING my own PCOS – yeah, that was fun. I spent 7 years grieving (and gaining weight). My best friend died and I dropped 40 pounds and immediately got pregnant. Weird how that works, huh? But umm yeah, my ovaries are broken again and they can’t explain it.)
There… now ya can’t say that I didn’t answer your question in my comment, hee hee!
.-= Rachel´s last blog ..Tales from the Bafroom =-.
Oh grrrreat. *sigh*
LOL yep, quality
Yah! I totally hated clothes!!! HAHAHAHA
Oh my goodness!!! My son is a clomid baby but the clomid doesn’t work anymore for us. That is amazing that you got pregnant like that! I have these hopes in the back of my mind that someday that will happen to me. When I least expect it. Not very high hopes, but hopes none the less.

Okay I am so with ya on this blog etiquette thing! I mean really people my time is just as valuable as yours…I promise!!
I LoveLoveLove puzzles and just haven’t even thought about doing one in so long because the kids were always doing art projects on my kitchen table. But then Santa went and got them their very own art table and now I can do a puzzle! Thanks for the reminder!! What a great way to have a date night after the kiddos are in bed.
3 words…Hmmmm?! Loyal, Opinionated, Loving
To be living somewhere warm and tropical with no bugs {oh and to have the body to strut myself around in such a place}!
.-= Michelle Pixie´s last blog ..My First And Last Time =-.
How awesome! Take pics and show us!
I want to do puzzles every day!! And yes it was awesome for our date night. SO fun!
You are the ONLY one who answered my random questions!
Oh how I want the same thing!!
Great random!!!I’m sorry about the whole cycle/non-cycle/spin cycle stuff! what a drag!! It almost takes the fun out of baby making! Still haven’t seen Avatar. Love your kitchen table. Puzzle rock. Except that I am the only one who likes to dopuzzles nmy amily. What is wrong with them?
.-= Gina´s last blog ..Corned Beef & Cabbage, Plastic Cupcakes and Taco Bar =-.

I know this blogging thing is a tricky business. At least we are friends and have comment conversations! haha… Guess I need to see Avatar was kind of avoiding it but not now.

Yeah, the birth control thing when you’re trying to get pregnant makes SO MUCH SENSE. I got told that too.
I don’t have nearly as much time to comment as I used to. But I try!
Yeah time makes it soooo difficult!

loved this post! I too get nervouse around sane people. I am loving that I have a blog where I can be crazy and loved for it. Enjoy your couples group though – it sounds like fun! I am a part of one and really enjoy it.
Birth control? what a downer. I hope that you get off it and pregnant soon. I cannot imagine the roller coaster of emotions you must be feeling.
And you are a much better person than I to attempt a puzzle as a mom. I cannot keep my kids away from all those pieces for the life of me!
.-= Annie @ Mama Dweeb´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday – Cabin Fever =-.
Thank you!! Yes, we have been riding this fertility roller coaster for 7 years. I am sooooo over it. *gag*
Monkey is doing so good with the puzzle, I can’t even believe it. He even ran into the kitchen today and grabbed a piece that fell on the floor and starts going “uh oh! uh oh!” and slides it back on the table. I watched in shock and awe. He is such a cutie!

Do you know that I think it is hysterical that you call your son Monk? We call Zander Monk (also short for Monkey) and we’ve always gotten strange looks for it. I can honestly say that you are the first person that I’ve “met” who uses that nickname too. lol
I miss dogwoods. Would very much like to see a picture, please. Sorry about the allergies, though.
I also have a very hard time being around normal, sane people. Good luck with your couples group…which I have to agree sounds like a nice way to say “swingers.” This is the second time the word “swingers” has come up in a conversation in the past 2 days. That’s freakin’ me out a little. lol
I have a comment story! I have been reading one particular blog for about 6 months now. I have commented twice but have never been acknowledged in any way…but the blogger has jumped from me to someone that I have linked to and done their “meme” thing. Doesn’t bother to comment on mine though. Ugh. (Okay, that doesn’t sound quite as petty in my head. lol)
If I could wish for one thing it would be to know where we are going to move this summer. Definitely.
BTW, does blog etiquette cover what should happen if someone writes a comment longer than the original post? Just wondering. No reason. Sorry. lol
.-= Amanda´s last blog ..Familiar Comfort vs. the Exciting Unknown =-.
LOL That is so funny! Yes I always get the funny looks when I call him Monk.
Really??? What was your other conversation about swingers?? Do tell
Yeah I have a few blogs that I have continued to read for years that STILL never comment. And I too have one that totally comments on a friends blog that she HAD to of read through me. Makes me feel so unloved.
What is this about you moving and not knowing where you are going? Explain.
LMAO!! No on the long comment! I write LONNNNNNG comments sometimes too. And I always apologize too. But don’t ever worry about it on my blog. I LOVE to hear what everyone has to say. So feel free to talk talk and talk some more when you stop by

There are swinger clubs near where we live and someone posted a link to one on a local forum. I had heard about them but had never actually seen anything to confirm it. Now I know. lol
We are due to move back to the US this summer BUT we won’t find out where we’re going until mid-May. ‘Tis the Air Force way. It’s driving me insane because I am a planner by nature. I am driving everyone I know IRL completely nuts because I can’t go 30 minutes without blurting out some random thought about the move. I’m a mess. lol So it would be nice to know where we’re going. I think I could control myself a little better. Maybe.
.-= Amanda´s last blog ..Familiar Comfort vs. the Exciting Unknown =-.
Those theaters are freaking butt cold! I know! Too bad it was too dark for people to see how stylin you were in your zebra!
Yes, yes, and YES! I second the motion on terrible two’s. I hear ya. Summer is there. She turns three next week so maybe some magical thing will happen???

BMC,
Hang in there with the baby-making. I know it must be hard. I bet you have so many people rooting for you and your family. HUGS to you.
Also, what I would do for the Big Mac to be 2 again. Instead of telling me STOP! and NO!, it now has become Whatever! Whaaaaaat?!, You just broke my spirit. I lie to you not, he just told me that on vacay this week. Mission Accomplished…I have broken my 12 year olds son’s spirit. Calgon, take me away.
Have a great week, Lisa
.-= LisaB´s last blog ..12, You Totally Suck and I Really Hate Your Guts But in a Totally Loving and Nurturing Kind of Way =-.
LMAO! Calgon, oh how I want calgon right now!
And thank you
OK figuring out how to post on here gave me fits. Hopefully I didn’t fall into that blog hate thing….. bites nails.
<—has been a bad blogger since I got my job
<—has no idea how to follow so I just have you on my favorites. That's better right?
.-= Jody´s last blog ..Post #2 for today lol =-.
Why couldn’t you figure out how to post? Whats going on with my comments?
You are forgiven.

Oh, my. I had no idea I wasn’t following you. Fixed that.
And, my Snuggie’s pink. The zebra print sounds foxy!
Awww thanks!
And I totally had to try and decide between the pink and the zebra. But zebra won over
I’m not so hot on time out either. It seems like as soon as I put her there, I can kiss the rest of my afternoon goodbye because that’s where she’s going to keep returning all day long. I’ve gotta find a better way! Let me know if you do!
.-= Rebecca is Thrilled by the Thought´s last blog ..Happy Anniversary =-.
It seems like there is time out and spanking. and I am just not super stoked about hitting my kid. I don’t know what to do

Zebra print Snuggie? I want one.

Good luck with your new cycle… my fingers are crossed!
