Is it my turn yet?!

Okay, so I haven't blogged on this subject in a while . . . I was getting on the computer to blog about this particular topic and then I get more news that adds to my topic . . .
So, as some of you know, we are trying for baby #2.  It's been almost six months now and we are going through the very same thing that we did when we tried for Kryssa . . .
Now, here's the thing:  When we were trying to conceive our first, we kept on hearing from people around us that they were expecting.  We were always super happy for everyone -we just wondered when our turn was coming.  So, a total of six conceptions happened in about a 3 month period . . . we were, finally, the seventh conception.  So, back in early April or so we found out that 'person #1' was pregnant.  Then the same week we heard about 'person #2'.  About 2 weeks later we heard about 'person #3'; then 'person #4' -last week-, and when I heard about that one, I joked w/ Chris saying, "okay, that's number four, we only have two more to go and then we will be lucky numer seven again."  Ha ha ha -well, today, I went outside, looking for Chris and my father-in-law, and our neighbor, w/ his three kids, are out chit chatting w/ Chris . . . I end up in the conversation and then he chuckles and announces "So, we just found out last night that we're expecting baby number four!". -that makes that 'person #5-  So, of course, I really am happy for them because I love pregnancies and babies/children and all -but then I realized -uh, okay, that makes how many now . . please, Lord, can we be next?!-  So, I came inside and dropped my jaw for a second while I told Chris how strange it is that it seems to be happening the same exact way as when we were trying for baby number 1 -everyone around us is getting pregnant (some planned, some not) . . . So, I was on my way to blog about that and then I get a message about 'person #6'!!!  Crazy, isn't it?!  For me it seems awfully strange . . . I am so super happy for everyone because at least I get to share that joy with people around me.  Plus, I have been handling it better w/ trying for baby #2, than when we were trying for baby #1, because, 1, I have an appt. w/ a fertility specialist this thursday so God willing I will be able to see what our options are, and, 2, we are going to Vegas in July, so, I might actually be better off not pregnant just yet . . .
Well, I'm on the phone now -but this is where we are at . . . God willing Thursday will give me some answers to all my questions.  I will post some updates when I have some . . .
*oh, so if my little theory of "lucky 7" doesn't work -I'll be okay . . . but we really are ready for baby #2 .  .  .

Darn Kitty Cats!!!

Oh, how I am sooooo bothered to think about this . . . but here it goes:
My, so-called, wonderful kitties (I don't know which one did it -so they both take the blame) chewed my lovely earbuds!!!   Oh, it makes my head spin.  Yes, I can replace them and I know I shouldn't be so bothered by materialistic things.  But, when something like that happens and there is no way to correct them from doing it again (because they are Cats and not a child:  a child, you can teach a lesson.  You tell them what they did was wrong and inappropriate and not to do it again . . . .so on . . . Not withe CATS!!!! Ugh!) . . . so, for me a pair of earbuds that are on the market for 50 dollars, that are now distroyed, is not something that I can just brush off easily.  But, I didn't attack the cats, scream, yell, or get all heated . . . I sat on the floor with the girls, for nap, like I always do.  Once they were sound asleep, I put my earbuds in and signed on to watch some episodes of reality tv . . . Then when I only hear sound out of the left earbud, I unplug and replug it in -it was then that I realized that the cats must have chewed through the wiring.  Sure enough!!!  Thankfully it only damaged the right earbud -but I still have to replace them.  Now, I am happy to say that I did not pay the full 50 dollars for them.  Gotta love amazon.com!!  So, I know where to buy them again -which I am doing right now-.  But my earbuds were something that I bought w/ some of my bday money -that's what upsets me!  I have been loving them so much and now I have to spend my personal spending money on replacing something that just worked perfectly yesterday ---until those darn little kitties got to them!!!!
So, my day could be worse . . . like my poor hubby who ran out of gas on his way to work because something is up w/ the gas gauge on the focus -it doesn't show a correct reading (it might say it's empty when you just filled up and visa versa) -so he had no idea that it was really really empty . . . he had to walk in the rain to get gas  -because my phone was on vibrate when he called for my help  -oh poor thing!).  So, I have to look on the bright side --I get to do some online shopping!  BUT I don't really have much spending money and I know I'm going to find more than just the earbuds to buy . . .

It's Friday night . . .

What to do . . . where to go?!  Kryssa will be with Grandma and Grandpa until sometime tomorrow afternoon.  I want to go do something -but what?!  I still haven't seen Spiderman 3 -that sounds like a plan; but then so does Dave & Buster's for food, games, and happy hour . . .Oooh, America's Incredible Pizza Company also sounds like some fun -all you can eat, pasta, pizza, salad, dessert, soup, ice cream . . . games, go-carts, put-put . . . Hmmmm . . .
We also have a lot of little things to buy for our home improvements that we are getting started on -but what fun is that on a Friday night, baby free ? !   I mean, it actually is the best way to shop at Lowe's and all -but I want to have some Fun-Fun; you know?!  hee hee!!
Any other suggestions?

hello Monday morning . . .

I took a long nap today and I'm not really sleepy.  :(
Another week . . .
I feel like something exciting is planned for this week . . . I can't remember what we have planned -if anything at all.
Oh, we bought our flight to Vegas tonight!! yay!  It's getting closer . . .
Eeeeeeek!!! :D
*hee hee*
I'll go cuddle w/ my love and try to get some sleep now . . . nighty night.

1 mosquito, 20+ bites, 1 very frustrated Mishelly!

I don't think I've killed it yet.  It all started yesterday . . . a mosquito bite here, a mosquito bit there . . . I didn't think much of it until I couldn't even keep up w/ where I was being bitten!!  It got to the point that I sprayed myself down w/ OFF (bug repellent), just to be inside my own house!!!  How irritatingly, horribly uncomfortable is that?!?  Let me tell you . . . EXTREMELY!!!!
I tried counting them today; but I just gave up after 22!  2 on my right arm, 1 on my left arm.  4 behind my right knee, 3 on my right knee.  2 on my right upper thigh, 3 on my right mid thigh.  2 on the back of my right thigh, 1 on my beeehind!!  1 on my back and 3 on my stomach.  2 on my left thigh, 2 on my left calf.  2 on the top of my left foot, right where my sock line is and 3 along the sock line of my right foot . . . I'm sure there are some that I just can't think of right now -Oh, yeah, 1 on my right shin, 1 on my left knee . . .
I had sooo much trouble falling asleep last night.  I had to take some benadryl and, still, it took a while for me to get sleepy enough to forget about alllllll the swollen bites on my entire body. 
I had to remind myself that it's better that I got eaten up -instead of Kryssa.  That would make a rough rough couple of days of scratching and crying and fussing . . . I just cringe my teeth and scratch a bit before I spray some itch relief ointment --which doesn't last very long!
So, on the bright side - if this is as bad as today gets, then I'm up for a great day!
