Today was the last day of school before Spring Break. Yay! Not like I have big, exciting plans but it's good to have a break. I know the days will somehow fill up and I must make an effort to be very active and not lay around all day. I'm thinking of driving half a day to see the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum in southern Missouri. Maybe I'll take DollFace to the Magic House in St. Louis or to the zoo one day. And of course I'll be getting my IVF calendar on TUESDAY!
There were so many sweets around school today and I just could NOT stop myself. I think I've done pretty good all week but it's funny how I really never blog about that. I've stayed well within my calorie range everyday and even during today's sugarpalooza I've managed to stay within range, barely and I'll only stay in range if I don't eat anything else for the rest of the day. I've walked four days so if I go tomorrow or Sunday it's a bonus.
I picked up an application for a summer school teaching position. I'm having a tough time deciding if I should fill it out and turn it in. It would be good to get my feet wet teaching in the classroom again in case I have to change positions next year and Lord knows I could really use the cash to help defray medical expenses. This program is very strict about attendance and docks you heavily if you have to miss. If the IVF is successful I'll be at the beginning of a high risk pregnancy, but should that stop me? I could just as easily be mending the broken heart of disappointment, might be good to have another focus and structure to my days.
When do you have to apply by? I REALLY think that you're going to get your BFP on your very first cycle!!! Ultimately you will know what the right decision is for you!
ReplyDeleteI say go for the job. As hopeful as I am for myself, I don't want to have anything else to be upset over if I face disappointment - that's just me though!
ReplyDeleteMe too go for it. Either way it'll work it itself out. Best of luck with your IVF, 2010 is the year of the baby you know. Happy iclw.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard making big decisions about the future while trying to balance hope for an upcoming cycle. I hope that whatever you decide it all works out.
ReplyDeleteI would tend to apply - but be prepared to bag it if you get pg. You MAY be able to work just fine, but you don't want to jeopardize the pg for a summer job! And you won't know til you're there. So.
ReplyDeleteAnd God forbid, if you're not pg it will keep you going. I have put off so many things "just in case". Best of luck hon.
I think I would go with the job, but it's a tough one! Good luck with whatever you choose.
