just checkin' in :)

i don't really have much 'new' to say, but i feel like i should say something. :) things are going about the same. zach is really ready to start our appointments and at least go in for the ivf consult. i must say, it's neat to see him to eager and excited. and positive. it helps persuade me for sure! however i was just telling some friends/teachers at school yesterday that my class of 5-6 year old boys (i have 14 boys and 6 girls in my class this year!) is wearing me out and that i don't know how moms do it. you know, teach all day and manage and deal with other people's kids all day long, and then go home to your own. i worry that i will be too tired, both mentally and physically, and that i won't have any patience by the time i get home. they say not to worry.

the meds are definitely working and i'm very grateful for that. i still haven't heard anything from my primary care doc about the bloodwork and all from my physical on jan 18, but i'm sure it's coming soon and i'm praying everything is just fine. we had a great time at dinner with friends the other night. had a yummy passion fruit margarita and yummy mexican. at one point during dinner i looked around the table at all of us laughing and having a great time and thought "i'm so glad i can enjoy this again...i've missed it". so yay for that!

i always come around and get out of my 'funk' and into a great mood in the spring. i don't think it's so much like that seasonal depression i see commercials for, i just think it's the whole, you know, coldness and stuff! i like green grass, flowers, birds & butterflies, sunshine. it uplifts me. makes me feel positive. i think that's, deep down, why i want to wait until the spring to start up the appts again. either way, i'm definitely looking forward to it! you'll notice that i'm reading a good summer beach read right now! maybe that'll help!

so how about you? do the winter months make you feel kinda 'blah'? looking forward to spring any teacher moms out there? how do you deal!?! :)
