I had my D&C follow-up appointment this morning. It was short, quick, and to the point. It took longer to have my blood taken than to talk to the doctor. I really thought I was starting to get better, but I'm not so sure. Being back in the doctor's office really brough back a flood of emotions. I really just want to be pregnant, to be a mom, and it hurts so bad that I was so close to having everything I wanted and it was taken away from me, from us. I'm on the verge of tears and it's the first time for at least week. People tell me it will get better, but when. I'm ready to be better, I'm ready to be pregnant. Hopefully it will happen this week, because I don't think I can take too many months of not getting pregnant. I'm just ready for this nightmare to be over. This has got be one of the cruelest things to happen to someone.

It's over already...
Another weekend...is gone! I can't believe they go so fast. This one went particularly fast. Friday I was at a conference all day out of town. Then yesterday we had an afternoon wedding to go to. It was pretty fun it just took up most of the day and evening. Then today I worked on homework for about 3 hours. I just got started and I couldn't stop. Which is a good thing considering how much I still have to do.
I guess I'm ready to start another week. It just means I'm that much closer to being done with school this semester. COUNTDOWN: 8 more days of school. Oh, and I should be ovulating sometime this week, hopefully.

So indecisive
Corey and I constantly have this struggle about what to have for dinner. I will ask him what he wants and then he will say I don't know what do you want. This can go on for hours. We can never decide what to have for dinner. I think we are just tired of all our recipes. We tend to eat the same things over and over and now we are bored. I just get really irritated when we can't decide on something.
If you have a tasty recipe post it here please.

Domestic Goddess?
I had been doing very well with the miscarriage, until last night. Something just hit me and I couldn't stop crying. I just can't help but feel that this whole thing is unfair, and as much as I would never wish this one anyone I feel like I don't understand why this happened to us and anyone else that we know who is pregnant. I had a hard time falling asleep last night since it was all I could think about. Luckily I got to sleep in today.
Usually on the nights that I have to work I don't make dinner. Today, however, I plan to. I'm going to make tacos. I know not too hard but I also made homemade salsa and Diet Root Beer Cake. Here are the recipes.
Salsa~
1 14.5 oz can tomatoes and green chili's (Rotel) (I couldn't find this size of can so I used a 10 oz can.)
1 14.5 oz can whole called tomatoes (plus juice)
4 teaspoons jalepenos (canned, diced - not pickled) (I don't use this many. I just cut up 2-3 slices.)
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
1/2-3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon sugar
-----
1. In food processor place jalepenos and onions and process for just a few seconds.
2. Add both cans of tomatoes, garlic salt, sugar and cumin.
3. Process by pulsing until you reach desired consistency.
4. Refrigerate a few hours to help blend and enrich the flavor. (This step is crucial!)
Diet Root Beer Cake~
1 box vanilla cake mix
12 oz. Diet Root Beer
(You can use any combination you want.)
Fat Free Cool Whip
----
Mix the cake and soda together and bake according to box directions. Frost with Cool Whip.
----
I made two 8 inch round cakes and am going to attempt to make it into a layer cake. I'm sure it won't look too pretty.
Oh, and last thing, 11 days of school left until Summer Vacation!

It's about time...
We finally started working on our landscaping. Well, not we, but Corey. We had these hideous bushes in front of our house when we moved in, so last Spring we ripped them out. However, we never got around to planting anything else so it has looked pretty...well, crappy. Corey has been working very hard all day on this little project and I have been of no help.
