5.3 LOL, oh dear. I don't tend to get bitchy as much as sad. I get tremendously blue.

5.3 When I was younger (around the time the kids were born,) I had a few days that would be semi-bad, but not horrible. More achiness than anything. 5.4 Then when Kota was 18 months old, I had a miscarriage and had to have a d&c to remove what hadn't expelled on it's own (sorry, tmi.) I had my first period while I was still off work on medical leave and I seriously laid on the couch sobbing for three days in pain. It was to the point I thought something was wrong from the miscarriage/d&c. When I went to the obgyn, he did a checkup and nothing was wrong, but he told me that after a d&c a lot of women come back and say they don't have cramps as bad as they did before, some say it's the same, and a smaller percent complain of severe cramps. Guess where I fall? 5.5 Thankfully not every month is like that, usually every 3-4 months it gets bad. I can tell ahead of time it'll be bad because I do start getting crampy a week or so before hand and then it gets really bad, I just wasn't paying attention this month. Totally sucks. I keep up on my physicals and all is well, but every year I kinda long to hear the words "early menopause" or "hey, lets take it all out!"

5.6 You know War, I am almost 48 and IF my doctor ever said to me "Lets take it out", my response to her will be "I will meet you at the hospital in 10 minutes" so I feel your pain. I am starting to go through the change. It started with night sweats and now I am having hot flashes during the day. I am the only one at work that has a fan going at my desk. everyone around me is sitting here with sweaters on because it is so cold at work

5.7 LOL Dfenn and I think we'd beat our drs to the hospital! I know menopause is supposed to be pretty miserable, but I'm not sure it could be any worse than this.

5.8 so far it has not really been that bad for me. I have been going through it now for a few years. But the night sweats and hot flashes just started this year.

5.9 I'm sorry for every woman going through this. It is such a relief to be on the other side of menopause!

5.91 At 41 and childless, there is that 5% of me that wants to believe it is not too late to have a baby, but the other 95% is more realistic that it ain't gonna happen and take my uterus out already, please.

1. At 37, I have to say if I found out I was having a baby, 95% of me would be on the floor sobbing in despair and the other 5% would be wondering how on earth it happened since Darren had a vasectomy 10 years ago! 2. I have no baby cravings, or rather, I do but they are easily taken care of by spending time with the little nieces and nephew. If someone wants my uterus, they can have it, I'm done with it. 3. Dakota will be starting practice for fall ball this week. We decided to switch out of our little league and into the asa league. I'm fairly certain this will be a permanent change for her and nieces. 4. It would have happened sooner or later, there just aren't enough older girls playing little league around here anymore and asa is getting not only new girls, but those like Kota and nieces who are switching over. 5. That one little irritant away from a very, very bad mood happened this afternoon. Bil said something that set me off. After I went off on him, he apologized. Close to bad mood or not, he was wrong and he knew he was as soon as he said it. 6. Think he also realized that they're going out of town for a few days tomorrow and I'll be collecting their mail, watering his plants and feeding their dogs and thought it was smarter to apologize immediately, lol. 7. Oldest two nieces came over today so they could get some shopping done and sis some cooking she needed to get done. They're going camping. The baby was supposed to stay too but as soon as they pulled up she started to freak out. We finally figured out she thought they were leaving her with me while they go camping and she was mad. No matter how many times we told her she was NOT staying here several days and she WAS going camping she still wouldn't calm down. They finally had to take her shopping with them. 8. I might take a trip to the bookstore tomorrow. Caleb wants to pick up a new book (though I told him he can't start reading until he finishes his summer book report for his English class.) A books got to be cheaper than the new amp he asked for, right? 9. My mail didn't come til almost 5pm today. I can't believe it was so late. The mail people have been pretty erratic lately (don't know where are regular carrier has been) but it's never been that late.

1. Wargod, I meant to say I was sorry to hear about your miscarriage. That is rough. I had no idea. 2. Last night was the first night I slept well in awhile. It was so nice. I didn't want to get up when the alarm went off. 3. I'm not a morning person, but summer school starts at 7:30 and I try to arrive by 7 a.m. because there are always teachers who need something. 4. That said, it hasn't been as bad as I thought getting up this early, and there is little traffic which is a bonus. 5. What books have you been reading lately? 6. I'm so happy to have my dog home. She is so funny! She is so stoic and often shows emotions in less than typical ways. I know she is happy to be home because she keeps offering her belly for a belly rub. 7. Man, I wish I could just offer my belly for a belly rub whenever I felt like it! Or my back, rather. Or my neck. 8. Now I want a massage. 9. It's taken me about 30 minutes to finish this post. My mind keeps wandering. 10. I wish I had a boy toy to fetch me a fresh cup of coffee. He could look like Kellan Lutz and I'd be very happy. Or either of the Winchester boys from Supernatural. Actually, there is a really cute P.E. teacher here at summer school. Maybe if I word my offer just right, he will do it.

1. Every time I plug in one of the computer carts to recharge, a spark jumps out of the socket. If I get electrocuted, it was nice knowing ya'll!

.5 Thanks Hermi. 1. Is there anyone you can call to check on that spark? Getting electrocuted just doesn't sound like a fun way to spend the day! 2. I finished Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels (the HBO show True Blood is based on those) a couple weeks ago. Fun, light reading, kinda like Twilight for grown ups but a whole lot better. And the guys on the show are absolutely yummy. Supergranny suggested Harris' other books so I'll be getting those when I get to the bookstore. I'm at an in between place right now, no new books, haven't settled on any old ones to read so I'm going through a couple of the new ones Kota has (can't remember the name but about a high school for ghost) since I like to keep ahead of what the kids are reading.

1. I should report the sparkage, I guess. I'll check on that. 2. Wargod, I'm watching True Blood now. I saw season one last summer and then most of season two, but not all of it, and decided to go back to the beginning before starting season 3. I'm on the last episode of season one right now. My sister has DVRed all of season 3 for me. 3. I can't seem to focus on the work I need to be doing. I think I need to ban TVCH for the next couple of workdays and just stop procrastinating! I have a book order to finish and a study guide on The Good Earth to write!

1. Have you read the books, Hermi? They're pretty different from the show, but good. 2. And I'm totally jealous. I have to wait for the dvd's to come out, which I know will be a while. 3. I had to go to the store to pick up veggies for dinner. I know I need to grocery shop badly when I don't even have vegetables in the house! 4. I think Caleb is about to start another growth spurt. He has done nothing but eat today.

1. Have not read the books. I wonder if my sister has. 2. I'm excited to get to season 3. I'm hoping to be there by Friday, so I can marathon it while my sister is still out of town. 3. That's a lot of True Blood to watch, though! 4. Going to try a Pilates class tonight. 5. I just know I am going home to dog poop. I didn't plan on working so late and should have put her in the kitchen. I'm too scared to leave her outside now, after losing her!

1. We watched the first two seasons over 3 weeks. Because of all the sex and violence in it, we had to squeeze it in when we could (meaning either when the kids were out of the house or we went to watch in bed) so when we had the chance, we'd watch 2-3 episodes at a time. 2. My favorite part of the books...Eric! He's awesome and funny and lovable (in his own way) and totally badass. 3. Caleb finally started his book project today. He'd read the book and today he wrote the summary and started on the identify 3 themes part. He's got a couple more weeks to finish it and I know he'll have it done in time so I didn't get too pushy about him not completing more of it. 4. Dakota has her first practice for fall ball tomorrow. In my opinion, it couldn't come soon enough! 5. She has been flittering through the house today, a frenzied, little, blond ball of wild energy. She is making me twitchy! Hasn't been able to sit still at all, even now at 12:30 she's still up and down, toe tapping, going going going. She definitely needs to get out to the park and run off some of it. 6. I asked Darren today if he wanted to go to the bookstore. He said, nope, lets wait til this weekend. We'll drop Kota off with your sis, send Caleb to his buddy's, go to the bookstore and out to lunch for a date. Woo hoo, date day!

1. I love your description of Dakota. I can totally picture her flittering. LOL. 2. Enjoy "Date Day with Darren." Whoo, lotta alliteration. 3. There were a ridiculous number of people trying to collect swamp toads this morning. 4. Er, the above statement will make sense to no one who doesn't play Runescape. 5. There were so many people, I seriously wondered if swamp toads are needed for a new quest, but they are not. I guess they were just a popular pasttime today. 6. You can deduce from the swamp toad comments that I didn't do much at work again today! But in my defense, over 4 hours of my day was spent showing movies to 2 different classes and the library was pitch dark and I couldn't see to read The Good Earth. I did get my book order done! 7. I have really fleshy earlobes and o versized hoops currently hanging from them. I just thought everyone should know that.

1. Hermi, Kota was driving me crazy that night, lol. She couldn't sit still for nothing. 2. Yesterday was more of the same and I was so happy to finally be able to tell her to go get her practice clothes on so we could leave! 3. Even her coach noticed it. After stretching and running, he had her get the catchers gear on and start working with the pitchers. Lots of moving around, jumping up and down, running, throwing, etc. By the time she'd gone through the three pitchers (there will be 4 pitchers on the team when my niece gets back) she had finally started to settle down some. 4. I'm pretty sure this is what mom was talking about all those times she told me, "One day you will have a child just like you!" 5. Doesn't Runescape sometimes have special things to collect for no reason at all? I seem to remember Darren and Caleb off looking for something or other that served no real purpose in the game. 6. Woo hoo on getting the book order done! 7. Dakota's two little friends (they've gone to school together since kindergarten) are on her new team. They are twins, great kids, and they've been very good friends of hers. Nice thing is they have a big brother who has gone to school with Caleb since Kindergarten. The boys haven't been the hang out at each others houses type of buddies, but they're friendly and have had a lot of the same classes together over the years and now when the girls have a game, Caleb will have someone his own age and someone he knows to hang out with. Someone who isn't the hottie 14 year old big sister of one of Kota's teammates and also happens to have the big, scary looking, cop daddy who doesn't even have to open his mouth to scare away the 14 year old boys interested in his pretty oldest daughter! 8. I have to take the kids for their labwork in the morning. Nothing better than getting up at 6:30 over summer break.

1. I'm short, about 5'2", with short dark hair. I had my 49th birthday last Friday! 2. I found out that smiling helps improve brain chemistry, and reduces feelings of sorrow and depression. Now I smile a great deal, and I feel much better. I think that part of it is that people smile back. Who doesn't feel better when someone smiles at them? 3. People think I have a strange way of looking at things. I don't care! LOL!

1. I am still all a flutter from this last night:
2. Pictured with me is JB Mauney, 2009 World Finals event champion bull rider. 3. Some people have their world series, superbowls, world cups, my family has bull riding 4. I'm exhausted. 5. I have a baby shower cake to do for tomorrow and I just want to sleep in. 6. No trail riding this weekend, Ruby will be happy about that (Ruby is my mustang) 7. I am setting a new goal for myself "Drop 10 pounds by Thanksgiving. (Giving myself plenty of time) 8. I need to figure out what to do with my hair: Dark or Light? I can't decide, but I haven't colored it since february. 9. Soccer is getting ready to start, and I think I am coaching two teams this year. Wherever will I find the time to even pee between school, work, horses, kids and soccer.....Fortunately I probably won't have time to eat, so that 10 pounds may come right off!

1. I started 10 facts and accidentally navigated away from the page and lost them. 2. Oops. 3. An old flame who is a Facebook friend wants to go out with me again. 4. I dunno. 5. My mom used to tease me about how many old boyfriends would pop back up and want back in my life. 6. Hasn't happened in awhile, though. I think they are mostly married now. Although I know that doesn't stop some people! 7. Gemma, welcome to Facts. I love people who have strange ways of looking at things. 8. Nice picture, Escapee. Although I think he looks a little bit like Cowboy from BB. Same ears. 9. Wargod, hope you are having a good weekend. 10. Guess I will go home and watch True Blood. Still need to finish Season 2.

1. Having an ok weekend, we decided to postpone date day til tomorrow. Went to buy Caleb some school supplies since he's on his last week of summer break...think the only thing he needs right now is a backpack. 1.5 Funny, I was thinking about going to bed soon and popping in a True Blood dvd til I fall asleep. Problem with that is that I get to laughing so hard I wake Darren up.

1. I had erotic dreams about Eric from True Blood last night. 2. It was a rude awakening to have to leave him and go work summer school!
