Two Weeks Down!

I've been noticing that others ahead of me (waiting on their CGH results) have been getting their results at just under 5 wks. So wow, maybe I won't have to wait a full 6-8 wks afterall! But that still means another miserable 3 wks to go. Ahhh!

This last week was brutal and I am beyond relieved it's over with. On top of my full time job, I put in 67 hours to finish my college course. My final exam, which covered 14 chapters, was Monday. It was proctored and timed. I go to the library for my finals and normally they give you a private room, but since they are under construction and all of the library tables were full, they stuck me in the periodical room where you can hear a pin drop. My frantic flipping through pages was about the volume of a jack-hammer in that room.

I was given 3 hrs. All answers were essay type. I wrote as fast as I could and at some point, my hand literally would not function because it was cramping up so bad. I can type crazy fast, but completing this with old technology (pen & paper) slowed me way down. It looks like I started the paper and the kindergartner at the next table finished it. Within an hour I had to tinkle so bad but was unwilling to give up 3 mins of exam time as I needed every spare minute. Then this elderly gentleman sat right beside me at my table and smacked his gums every few seconds. For anyone that knows me, smacking noises will drive me to the brink of insanity. We don't eat together at my house unless there is a tv or radio on providing background noise. Why me, why out of all tables did he have to sit next to the crazy girl frantically taking a timed exam who comes unglued with mouth noises? =)

The librarian graciously gave me an extra 20 mins to finish, so after 3hrs 20mins, I was put out of my misery. I ran straight to the tinkle room where my poor cramped up hand could barely unroll the toilet paper. Thank God, I am DONE!!!!! For now...

I have 4 more classes to go to finish my Bachelor's degree and after what I just went through, I don't know when I'll have it in me to take another class. Oh why didn't I finish this crap when I was younger? These are online classes; no class room time, no lectures/videos, no interaction, basically no teacher, no accountability. But they do make sure you learn the material thoroughly via assignments and exams. I've found that teaching myself the concepts by book with one deadline (the end of the course) just isn't my learning style. At this rate, hopefully I'll graduate by time I'm 80. Maybe I'll be the one smacking my gums at the last exam. I just need to press through. I can do it! Now I wait for my grade, more waiting.

So after a stressful IVF cycle, hormone crash, college and waiting for results of my 4 embabies, I've found myself living on comfort food. I'm telling you, I've eaten nothing but junk, junk and more junk!


Pizza, chips, candy, cookies and lots of yummy MSG. But at the top of my list, the following 2 have been a staple, a neccessity.


Yep, good ol' Chef Boyardee! Canned, processed, MSG, microwaved food!


Oh yeah baby, Ben and Jerry's! Not just for dessert, no mam, I'm talking breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Thanks to my friend in AZ who turned me onto Ben and Jerry's! Yeah, you know who you are! Now I'm going to be as big as you before I even get pg! (She's pg with twins, so it's ok to say that)

I have consumed all these flavors in 2 weeks: Triple Caramel Chunk, Americone Dream, Goodbye Yellow Brickle Road, Cherry Garcia and Pfish Food. I've already got Kerry trained to surprise me with a new flavor everytime he comes home from the store.

What is wrong with me??? I'm totally anti-junk food, anti-MSG and even anti-microwave! I have got to get a grip! Someone please talk some sense into me, I need to be preparing my body for an embryo, not for The Biggest Loser.
