Back to the Grind!

Phew! What a weekend! How was your Turkey Day?

Ours was fun! A whirlwind of events, as it usually is when we visit Massachusetts, but fun! Thursday morning we left our house (later than planned!) around 11am....we got to my Aunt Linda's house in a little over 2 hours (not bad). Dinner was delicious, as was dessert. Paige and my cousin's 4 year old daughter, Erin, played the entire time. It's great to have another little girl in the family so close in age!

We left there shortly after 5 (after Mike huffed and puffed and bitched and moaned) and headed to his Aunt Carla's house....for MORE desserts. Paige played with her Uncle Tim and his girlfriend Bethany on the living room floor for a good hour! We didnt get to my parents house and settled in til well after 9pm. It was a long night.....Paige was tucked in by 9:30pm...but didn't fall asleep til ALMOST MIDNIGHT!!!!!

Friday we vegged out all day at my parents house, then went to Edaville Railroad that evening with my brother Dan's girlfriend, Crystal (whom is now Paige's newest best friend), and my sister Michelle and niece Valerie. It was so much fun! AND COLD!!! Definitely awesome way to kick off the holiday spirit.

Saturday was crazy....helped my mom do some shopping....and almost passed out from hunger, stress and frustration. My....she is quite the stressful driver....:-P .... My nephew Owen's birthday party extravaganza was that night. It was great seeing everyone together. Paige played contently in the play room with her cousins almost the entire time. We had to beg her to come out for CAKE! Who's child is this?! Owen is the cutest (as are all of my neices & nephews!). We left there shortly after 9pm....P was on her 2nd wind and didnt wind down once again til 10pm'ish...

Got a TON of great photos. The next few days tho will be sleep catching-up!

So my period is officially one week late...and no signs of showing her ugly head. I should be happy tho, right? I mean, who wants af? :-P ... I had a lot of bloating, cramping, sore boobs, etc the past 2 weeks....all signs of something coming....be it either AF or a BFP....but nada. I tested last Wednesday, and again last night using a Dollar-Tree test...and both times got a BFN (That's a BIG FAT NEGATIVE). So i got no clue. Maybe my body is trying to synch itself with something or someone? Still dosent explain the 1.5 day period last month. What the f, yo? Yes, i thought thyroid again....but dont have any other symptoms.....the af-like blahs subsided the other day and in general i feel decent (still bloated and feeling FAT tho)...... and still nothing. Hrmph. Im torn between waiting it out or calling the docs.

Anyhow....4 days off was great. We spent most of yesterday on the road coming home in the rain/snow/slush mix. But it was nice to be back home. Today Im back at work..... so i guess i better get back to the grind.....
