The Results Are In...

The verdict is: NOT PREGNANT!  Just super f-ed up.  I wasn't going to test, but today is Michael's birthday and he said I should test on his birthday so I did.  Surprise, surprise, one pink line!  So I am going to try drinking massive amounts of grape juice, which for some reason is supposed to start your period if its late, as well as regulate you according to one or two websites LOL.  Everything else I read sounded expensive and disgusting.  If it doesn't start in the next week or two I will probably have to fork over the money to go to the doctor and get Provera... UGHHHHH.  I really need a room mate, so I can afford to start doing fertility stuff.  But this next cycle, should I ever actually get to it, I am going to take my temperatures everyday.  That way I don't ever have to wonder if my test will be positive.

    Sad! :(

    When I come over this weekend, you and I can go off by ourselves (maybe lock ourselves in a bedroom or something) and I'll pray over you.

    FYI... the grape juice thing makes sense. I know that wine thins your blood. Wine is fermented grape juice, so perhaps it works the same. By thinning your blood, perhaps you are encouraging blood flow????

      Sad, but not unexpected. I had one cycle this long back in December (through March!) 2010. I was super stoked then, but this time I was pretty wary.

      The praying thing sounds great, thank you.

      Glad the grapes thing makes sense. Grape juice doesn't taste like vinegar, but then it doesn't get you drunk either. Maybe I should pick up wine instead LOL.

    Sorry it was negative Rachel. I know even if you are expecting it to be negative, it still hurts to see it come out that way!

Breastfeeding An Adopted Child - The Tenth Day of Christmas

Today we are hearing from Teglene.  Her story is pretty long, but trust me, it is totally worth reading through!  She also has a great blog, called The Breastfeeding Mother . I always knew I wanted to breastfeed my children. I couldn ’t imagine doing it any differently. I was lucky enough to give birth to two beautiful boys and I enjoyed breastfeeding them both. Not that it was easy or without struggle, but it was what I wanted to do and loved doing it. In fact, I liked it so much, and felt so passionate about breastfeeding that I became a La Leche League Leader, so that I could help other breastfeeding moms. I really took to the idea of “Mothering through breastfeeding”. It wasn ’t just a feeding method for me, but a relationship with my child. My husband and I always talked about adopting a child who needed a family. We thought, if we can’t have kids of our own then we will adopt. Even if we can have kids of our own, maybe we will still adopt. After the birt...

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks bec...
