Each year we notice that our home insurance and car insurance increase. We’re not just talking about the annual 1.7% or the cost of living. This past year the premiums went up about 5%. Then all of a sudden we received this check in the mail and it stated they “overestimated” and we received “dividends.”
At this point we’re going to start looking at new policies. We just feel if we really had a few hours to invest in it we could probably get a better deal than we’re currently getting on our different insurance policies.
Cis.co.uk is a great website that teaches you about the different policies available and you can also figure out which one would work for you and your situation. The website is easy to navigate and you can get most answers to your questions.

Today I’m subbing and I feel like I could collapse now and take a nap on the desk. The past few afternoons I’ve been falling asleep on the couch and in bed by 9:00-9:30. I have absolutely no energy starting around 7pm.
The kids thus far have been horrible and I sent one to the office already for saying “I don’t give a f—” after I told him he couldn’t visit his friend in homebase. If I was going to get written up by a teacher…I would want it to be a better sentence than “I don’t give a f—.”
Where’s the love?
Boy, I love the smart kids and kids that like the topic you’re teaching. Too bad they don’t have an advanced home economics class full of future housewives that I could be teaching!
I called the fertility center and at first we thought that they made an error and that they scheduled our u/s for 5 weeks instead of 6 weeks. But today I called and they like to do an u/s at 5 weeks. So, I went ahead and rescheduled it for 10/3. I figure since we’re leaving for San Francisco at the Syracuse Airport we might as well go for the u/s before.
Of course, I’m still having mad TP and underwear checks and I’m so damn paranoid. I’m on these vaginal suppositories that tend to exit your body just as soon as you put them in. I wish I could just forget the miscarriage and be happy about being pregnant.
I just have to keep telling myself “one day at a time.”

Well the number was a 97! Which is great!
Here are the beta numbers so far - mind you they are suppose to double every 48 hours.
10 days past 3 day transfer - 21
11 days past 3 day transfer - 38
13 days past 3 day transfer - 97
Looks like one perfect little embryo digging in the for the ride!
I’m going again Monday for bloodwork and our first prenatal ultrasound to see how many is scheduled for October 1st!

We have thought a few times about finding a new, bigger, and better house to move in. However, the one thing that’s really holding us back is the fact that we have way too much stuff and we’re just too lazy to physiclally move it.
If we found the perfect new house to move into we’d have to factor in the cost of hiring movers because I’m not going through moving all of my stuff and having half of it get ripped, fall apart, or lost!
We have some local movers available, however, if we looked we might be able to find a company outside of Ithaca that could move us for less.
The last time we moved we paid our movers in beer and pizza. Just a little word — don’t give out beer *while* moving!
A great resource for those of you that are thinking about moving is: http://www.homebulletin.net/
They offer some great tips and have some great resources for those of you that are on the go and are smart!

Well, I’ve already been to the hospital this morning and gave blood. To say the least the lady taking my blood couldn’t get in there so she had to go digging. Hurt like mad…and I had to redirect her to “the mother load vein”.
Now, I just wait nervously for the results. I figure I can call the hospital at 11am to see if they’ve faxed over the results. Then of course I’ll call the fertility center and hang out on hold for 15 minutes til someone answers the phone.
The one and only real symptom that I’ve had is being exhausted. I feel like I could just sit down anywhere and close my eyes. Last night at 9pm I went to bed and slept til 7am this morning when Margot woke up in a fit because she missed the bus!
Of course, I had to go to the bathroom a few times during the night. I’m really thinking about getting a camping potty and putting it upstairs.
Then I’d have to transport my urine down the stairs daily. That’s just gross.
