If I don't post again before Easter (which I expect I won't), have a Blessed and Happy Easter!
God Bless!

I don't know about you, but this Lent has been EXTREMELY Lenty around here. Actually, I guess it really started about a month (MAYBE??? maybe less???) before Lent officially started. It started with the washing machine needing to be replaced, then both of our cars needed all new tires (within a few days of each other), then we all got sick (started with Emma, and each person had a turn, frequently overlapping, but nobody having exactly the same illness as anyone else), and then we all got sick again. I don't think our family has EVER done the rotating sickness thing for an extended period of time before. There's usually only 3 of us in the house, for crying out loud! During that time, 3 out of the 4 of us had an ear infection, and somewhere in all that, the microwave threatened to blow up, so it had to be replaced. We also had to get a new lawn mower last weekend. Then, on Monday, I was driving home from getting Bella, and a warning light came on in the car with the message "service power steering soon" and "service advance trac" taking turns going across my miles til empty screen. I went out after Bella left to return a book to the library, and the car decided to completely give up the power steering thing, and said "service power steering NOW". I got to the library and home again, but definitely got my workout in the process. I took it into the shop yesterday, and $1220 later, it has all 4 control arms replaced, and the alignment done. *sigh* It's gotten to the point around here that's like, "okay, that's done, what's gonna break next?" Then, Emma and I got home from co-op this afternoon, and Skye (my GOOD dog) was wandering around the yard OUTSIDE the fence. She's gotten out of the fence before, but only when we'd walked past her to go to the park or pool. So, apparently now we have to get her a shock collar like we have for Squirt. I hate to tell whatever is causing all of this, but we are NOT made of money! Lol It almost feels like some kind of demonic attack or something, it's gotten so ridiculous. Anyway, since my last round of Clomid, I've gotten to a place emotionally where I just don't care anymore about TTC. I'm just ready to accept the 2 we have here with us, and the 3 waiting for us in Heaven, and be done. I stopped charting for a few days, and I even went back to crumpling my toilet paper (HUGE no-no for Creighton users)...I mean, I was seriously just done. But, then I realized today that I have to keep doing my shots and progesterone (I mean, I knew this already, but hadn't put 2 and 2 together yet), so that meant that I HAVE to keep charting, so that I know when to start doing the shots and progesterone. *sigh* So, since I have to go through ALL the motions anyway, I'm trying to care about TTC again. If I have to do all that work and go through the shots, etc. anyway, then I might as well try my best to TTC, ya know? Kinda silly not to, I guess. On a happier note, tomorrow is Holy Thursday (yay!!!), my absolute favorite day liturgically. Emma and I are planning on going on a Holy Thursday pilgrimage tomorrow night (with anyone who wants to join us). We'll start with Mass at 7:30 at Holy Rosary downtown, then follow the procession downstairs where the Blessed Sacrament will be placed on the altar of repose. We'll stay there and pray for a few minutes, and then go around to 6 other downtown parishes (including the cathedral), and visit their altars of repose (each for a few minutes). It's so much fun to see the different churches, and how they set up their altars. There's one Spanish one (I think it's St. Patrick's) that usually has people playing the guitar, singing in Spanish, and children dancing in the aisles. So fun! I can't wait!
If I don't post again before Easter (which I expect I won't), have a Blessed and Happy Easter! God Bless! Dana
