Crunch Time

I know it has been awhile since I've been around.  In fact I just checked my reader and I have over 750 blog posts that I haven't had a chance to read, nor do I know when I will.  What can I say?  It's "crunch time"!  Only 27 more days until the end of tax season!

While the season itself hasn't been very stressful, the hours and the thoughts of babies weigh heavily on me.  Round One of the drugs wasn't successful and I'm pretty sure that Round Two is heading the same way.  Call it "mother's intuition".  I'm beginning to think that trying to make this journey during tax season was a waste of time (and money), but I knew that we had to at least try.  I'm seriously contemplating taking the next cycle month "off" and starting again once tax season is officially over.

My stitching and sewing has been seriously lacking as well.  I did manage to stitch up a quick little piece for an exchange.  However I haven't been able to get it to the finishing stage.  Things went awry over the past weekend and my sewing machine was the furthest thing from my mind.  So, I'm planning on a speed date with my machine sometime this Sunday.

Well, I really must head off.  Lots of tax returns calling my name!

Happy Stitches!

Work, Work, Work

Thank you for all the kind comments about my model stitching.  I love model stitching for one of my dearest, sweetest friends and I can't wait until the next time that she asks me.

I wish I could say that I've been stitching over the last few weeks, but work has been terribly intense this year.  I've been working 60+ hours each week which means that I am gone from the house for over 70 hours during the week.  My only day off is Sunday and I spend most of the day catching up on sleep, laundry and various errands with Hubby.  Thank goodness there are only six more weeks to tax season!

I'm still working on the baby front as well.  The first round of fertility drugs didn't work.  I was extremely upset that it didn't work but in the back of my mind I knew it was a big possibility.  After all, when I went on the fertility medication with my regular OBGYN, it wasn't until I had an "off month" that I became pregnant.

We have already started Round 2 and I will again put my faith not only in God, but in modern medicine as well.  I'll also head back to the acupuncturist this week.  Honestly, I'm quite thankful for all of this work.  It allows for me to have less time to obsess on the idea of my future child.

Ohhh.....I hear movement upstairs.....looks like Hubby and the Pup are up.  It's family time!

Happy Stitches!
