Note to anyone who would ever think of doing this: Don't EVER make the decision to finish the book My Sister's Keeper on CD 1 when you're already emotional from the stupid trick that your body played on you by making AF THREE DAYS LATE.
It results in a lot of crying.
Note #2: Don't ever get online and start reading the baby blog section after a disappointing cycle. Chances are your reader will be full of belly shots and everyone else's BFP stories. And yes, I am happy for all of those people today, but yesterday I was not in a good state of mind. I was just flat out bitter and jealous.
Note #3: Be sure to have lots of awesome TTC bloggy buds and a very supportive husband to catch you when you fall.
Note #4: Do allow yourself one honkin' glass of wine on CD1. Even if you've given it up for Lent. It will taste FANTASTIC.

You need to make me a promise. No more Jodi Picoult TFN. They are manipulated to make you sob uncontrollably, and they play with your emotions. "My Sister's Keeper" is a great book... but it's evil. I have 5 JP books that I refuse to read because I just KNOW that it's going to make me cry. That would make anyone cry. For someone whose going through a lot emotionally? Forget it. So no more Jodi Picoult!!!
ReplyDeleteI had a similar post a few months back after one of the worst CD1s:

Sorta the same rules.
And sooo glad you had that big glass of wine. Hope you have a good weekend. And here's to this cycle being "THE ONE."
Yeah, I had that as a book on CD and was sobbing on my drive home one day. Nice. I'm glad you know we're here for you whenever you need it and I really glad you let yourself have a glass of wine, you earned it. Have a great weekend with the family. Talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteI am here for you. You know that, so there was really no need for me to say it just now. Oh well, already did!
ReplyDeleteSkype soon?
PS: Are you going to update your other blog? I miss FG! xo
Booo! I had my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record, I wouldn't read/watch My Sister's Keeper at any point EXCEPT the week after period.
And why in the hell would you give up wine for Lent? ... ... ... Oh wait, I kinda did too. Nevermind.
Good rules. I had a dream last night that I had wine. This is either a sign of my secret alcoholism or a clever way for my subconscious to get around the Lent ban.
