5Q Friday - And the talk that never happened... I think

I tried to have the TTC conversation with Hubby last night... haha - yeah that turned into all of the ways we are currently busy, Diva's struggles and a million other things that didn't even TOUCH what our next step was.  I guess I will just put it away for a few more years and see what happens.  It's funny because while it really bothers me today, tomorrow when we are running 400 errands and Diva is being a trooper and just hanging out I will be happy with the just one we have.


Now for my HAPPY dance....

1. What is your go to comfort food or sweet?

While Hubby was gone I turned to cupcakes to ease my pain – now that he is home, I turn to cupcakes to ease my stress... so this girls comfort food is sweets!  Sadly, I have to SERIOUSLY be in the mood for cupcakes in order to eat them.

2. What is the most romantic place you've ever been to?

There is a strip of beach on Kauai that Hubby and I went to – we were the only people on the beach and it felt like in the whole world.  Just up from there we renewed our vows and it was perfection.  I would have to say that Kauai is the most romantic place I have visited.

3. What is your favorite thing about fall/Halloween?

I LOVE LOVE the crispness in the weather, the first crock-pot meal and curling up on the couch.  I love watching all of the kids dress up and get excited for Halloween, nothing better than the sparkle in a kids eyes when they run up to a door SCREAMING TRICK OR TREAT!

4. How would you spend 24 hours alone?

After the past 15 months of deployment and just being Diva and I, I would LOVE to take an overnight trip to Palm Springs and enjoy the spa.

5. Does you husband bring you flowers? Are you the bring-me-flowers type of girl?

Hubby used to be a HUGE “Just because” flower guy and was awesome when he was deployed BUT since he has been home YEAH NOT SO MUCH!  I LOVE Calla Lilies – used to be Gerbera Daisies but as I have gotten older so has my taste in flowers.  Maybe my just because will return... hmmm.

Nunya = None of your BUSINESS!

Meandering through a store minding my own damn business!  I stopped at a cutesy little dress and was thinking how I could make it for 1/4 of the price -  This lady comments how cute this little dress is.

Random lady: “Aww, how old is your daughter”

Me: “She’s 7 1/2”

Them: “Oh is she your ONLY one?” 

REALLY nosy lady at the kid’s boutique!!  This was yesterday as I was killing time waiting for a meeting.  Super cute boutique (AKA WAY overpriced kids clothes that I had ZERO intention of buying!!)  I am not hyper sensitive about my only child - contrary to certain people's beliefs.  I recently became an aunt for the 6th time, I love my nieces and nephews - they are all pretty awesome kids and I miss spending more time with them.  However I am happy with the life that WE chose.  

I always get asked if we are TRYING for another child or if we WANT one.  The answer changes daily – If Diva is being a pain the answer is NO but most days I want her to have a sibling... as does hubby.  When he came home he started talking about it quickly, let’s have a baby.  WOW.  Umm sweetheart, lets just practice K??  As I have mentioned before, I have a 5% chance of getting pregnant.  Yes, I have checked... been poked, prodded, examed and violated MORE than enough times to know... I have taken more Progesterone and Estrogen in a month than my mom has since menopause started.  (3 P suppositories a day for 2 weeks and 2 Estrogen patches every other day for 2 weeks) in addition to my thyroid medication and my vitamins.  I HATE PILLS!  Yes, I am also a medical anomaly.  I have HypOthyroidism however am borderline underweight, I started running out of eggs and going into menopause at 19).  I think I have been ‘wanded’ more times than I have actually had intercourse in the past 2 years!  My fertility doctor and I got REALLY close!!  With this being said... I have been thinking about doing another IUI.  Maybe it’s worth one LAST chance.  Before our TriCare cuts out... hmmm.  Maybe I should email Hubby and schedule some ‘Us’ time tonight to chat about this.

My brain also wraps around the fact that Diva is 7 ½, an 8 year age difference is A LOT between kids so I am not sure if that’s really what I want either.  Maybe we should look at adopting a 2 or 3 year old boy and then the age difference would be workable, they would never share a school but would be close enough to share their life.  My older sister and I are 8 years apart and it wasn’t until I was in my mid to late 20’s that we really became close, my younger sister is 3 years younger and have never been super close but have always shared our life... then there is my brother that’s 16 years (OH YEAH!) younger than me.  Our relationship borders on maternal versus sibling.  We all have weird dynamics but have made it work.  Maybe that’s the ticket, just making it work.

Oh yes... totally random TTC talk.  Sorry for this.
