I don't want to jinx things but so far they seem good. My In-Laws have been really good. We even had them over for dinner. My mom has been bearable. Though she did annoy me yesterday. I had no clue Sunday was grandparents day. I don't buy hallmark calendars. She called to tell me her friend who is a grandma got gifts & she did not. I said "Well, you saw the kids" and she said "did you get Barb anything?" Barb is my MIL. I said "MOM, I had no idea it was grandparents day, I wouldn't buy her something and not you....she didn't get anything or see the kids" and she just was just like "well, I just figured 'cause she's seen them so much lately. OMG mom....you are in an air cast and working f/t and doing physical therapy 3x's a week and go to church on Sunday and usually want that day to yourself. What do you expect? I can't put more hours in the day. But other then her insanity things are good.
Last week was O week so we'll see. I have a really good feeling that this month is our month but again, I don't want to jinx things. I'm hopeful. I have the baby itch BIG TIME.
This will be month #4 of ttc. I know it took like 6 mo. to get pregnant w/ Amber and that was after 2 losses. I guess technically it was a 11 mo. process with Amber. I just thought it would be easy. I was wrong. I got pregnant w/ Jackson while I was on the pill. I got pregnant w/ the baby I lost in June while I was on the pill. I just wish this time it would happen and I wouldnt spend another month sad and then trying to figure out O time and everything.

Where to start?
I don't even know where to start. So we ended up not going to Florida because my mother in law & I really got into it. Once I confronted her about the whole Casey Anthony thing and how comparing me to her because I want to give my children benadryl because the pediatrician recommended it is NOT cool. It was a huge blow up. She disowned us & then called the next day and I guess re-owned us? LOL.
I told her I didn't want to keep the kids from her and I wanted them to know their grandmother. I wanted to be able to do vacations together because I vacationed w/ my grandma as a kid and have some really good memories. So we decided to drive down to Starved Rock and we stayed at Grizzly Jacks Great Bear Lodge. The kids had a great time at the water park and the jump park. We hiked around starved rock and had dinner in town at a nice restaurant. We rented a townhouse style log cabin and it was a fun time. Ever since the trip my mother in law & I have actually been getting along.
We had our house painted and it looks great. My husband and I have finally settled on an area to move to. We are loving Peotone IL and now we are in a 2-3 year plan. We figure we're going to lose our asses on our house so we need to save $35,000 of our own money for a deposit. So we are saving $1,000 a month and stocking away our income taxes. At least this is our goal. If we are able to actually walk away not owing on our house then we'll have a nest egg.
Amber just started preschool this week. I can't believe my big girl is in school already.
Jackson is doing really well, in to everything!
Amber was sick for the week before her birthday & then the day we came home from Starved Rock she was throwing up & had a fever & the fever lasted for about a week on & off. It was scary. I hate how she gets spiking fevers.
I have been totally slacking on writing my book. I need to do this. I just need to sit down and do this. I am at the point that I don't know what direction I really want this to go and I'm having a hard time so I just stopped but I think I might have a good story to tell so I need to get on with it.
