Just stuff...

I'm at home today (took a sick day) because I can barely move! I fell and ended up spraining my wrist and breaking my tailbone. My wrist is feeling better but my backside is 100 times worse and apparently there's nothing that can be done about it. I have a ThermaCare Heat Wrap on it right now and am keeping the Excedrin in my system. I don't like taking prescription pain killers because they make me sick. Sooo, that's why I'm at home and in pain. Hopefully (and prayerfully) the pain will subside. As you know, I am a self admitted hypochondriac, so reading things on the internet about tailbone fractures has absolutely made me c-r-a-z-y! Some people say that they still have pain after a year. WHAT??? I so can't deal with that. Reading that and other things just put me into a crying fit. Uhg...anyway, enough complaining. I keep telling myself that it will get better...it HAS to get better. It could always be worse, right?

So my mom came up Saturday night and spent the rest of the weekend with us. We made taggie blankets (or should I say SHE made taggie blankets). I learned that I'm the world's worst sewer! I tried sewing one blanket and my seam soo was not straight at all. Here are pics of what my mom sewed (I did pin the ribbons!)...





We also got some pink and brown fabric with pink/brown leopard print, but we haven't finished it yet.

For some odd reason I felt like I failed at sewing...I've always thought that I wanted to be that women who could "master" anything like that, but I'm slowly finding out over time that I'm just not that woman. I'm still trying to find my niche...that thing that I'm great at! So far I can scratch off sewing and cooking. Ok, I'm not a bad cook, but I'm no Food Network Star! By the way, is anyone besides me just totally addicted to that show?? I love it and can't wait to see who wins this weekend!! I've also found that I LOVE HGTV's Design Star!! I so wish I had half the talent of these folks! I am finding little projects around our home that I want to start working on, but there's that little sense of "failure"...that I'm just going to mess it up big time or leave it half-way finished (I am best known for this!) I guess I'll never know for sure unless I try though, right??

We are still on the journey to becoming parents. I'm on day 6 of my cycle, so around day 13 I should be able to go to the doctor to have my PCT done. I will NOT be too late in calling this time. I can not tell you how upset I was when I called and was told that I would have to wait another month b/c I tested too late. Ugh...the emotions! Now I will give you this bit of info from the Jones'...we are keeping ALL options open. I am strongly researching adoption. Let me tell you though, the internet CAN be a great tool, but it can also confuse you to no end!! If anyone reading has any helpful (clear) information regarding adoption, I would be most grateful if you would share with me!! I know that even with adoption it could be years before we get a child, but I also know that if we don't start the process, it will just be that much longer that we'll have to wait. Please continue to keep us in your prayers through this journey with no known ending.
