Thanksgiving Day 7

Today I am thankful for my job. My boss is wonderful, the culture is great, and our company president and his son ran 20 miles of the Houston marathon with my best friend last year (until Kelly dropped them like a bad habit). This year he and his son are on a quest to break 4 hours (no problem...they did 4:08 in their first last year) after he promised the company he was going to do so.

I get to play with glitter. I am rarely bored and somehow my boss manages to keep my challenged even in the cool "internal audit" role that I have. So, yes, the real estate industry isn't in the best shape right now, and no one at the company got a raise last year, but I know they would have given them to us if they could have and left it at that, instead of feeling disgruntled, unappreciated, or overworked. I value and appreciate my co-workers and know that they do the same for me.
I fear the day that my boss leaves and/or the day I have to get a job elsewhere.

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Still here. Still infertile.

Sigh.  Here we are again.  We knew all along we would be able to start the process for baby #2 when Sloane was nine months old.  I had said we did not necessarily want kids that close together, but knew just because we started then did not mean we would get pregnant then.  If I had only known how true that is becoming.  Silly us had started having visions of three kids.  The only way we can have three kids is to have things go smoothly, not lose embryos, and not lose time.  Well, so far we have lost an embryo and a lot of time in the quest for our next baby. I breezed through prep for our transfer in early May.  The stress load was so much less than before because I thought we had it figured out.  We had Sloane as a great distraction.  My lining was better than it has ever been before - by far.  Then, the day after Mother's Day, I found out it did not work.  And I was immediately thrown back into the depths of infertility hell....
