i told him all my little problems and he basically ruled out everything on my nausea, except maybe stress/ulcer formation. to be sure, he had me tinkle in a cup. he suggested that i see a therapist for my down and out feelings, which i'm okay with. if you know anything about me, you know i have dealt with some of these things in the past. (i believe in a God of healing, but i also believe in a God who gave us the ability to learn about treating illness!)
anyway, on to the pregnancy test. of course the text was negative, but for some reason it really bothered me. i can't really get into the details, but let's get to the ridiculous portion.. the part that makes this an aleasa-only experience: something, somewhere aligned in some way and caused all the "trying" realities to hit me in his office while i waited for him to find me some samples. and i burst into tears.
via ps this is from an article entitled "8 reasons to spank your kids". and i like it. |
speaking of puppies, we have two left. they're really cute. (the one in the middle was just over to visit).
well, feel free to laugh at the idea of having a break down in a public place (because that would only happen to me), but also think of me when you're praying for your virtual friends out here in cyber space. just for peace.. i'm thinking we're going to stop trying (if that's ever what we were doing in the first place), because i'm not sure we really want kids.
ANYWAY!
on another note ...we are doing an AWESOME study in my women's group by beth moore. if you have never done a study by her.. you MUST sign up next time you see one offered. if you just like in-depth studies (aka NOT FLUFF -- i hate fluff) i recommend the precepts studies. i am doing one on my own, but i think they offer small groups led by certified instructors. anyway. beth moore is awesome.

she is inspiring me to write and/or teach, which i've been thinking about for a long long time. and now it's out there on the world wide web so i better stop procrastinating!!
and i'm making this, this weekend. crafting is good for the soul.
yall have a great weekend.. and hopefully i'll be back to normal very... very shortly!
Praying for you friend. I hope your health and your spirits are lifted. I have always had a tug on my heart for those who try and try and try....and while I don't know firsthand that sadness (because we haven't tried, so we don't know if we have problems) but a part of my hurts reading about your sadness. Its ok to cry, and ok to scare your doctor! Hope you feel better inside and out soon!
