National Infertility Awareness Week
The internets tell me it is, once again, NIAW. I am not “over” my infertility. I have read post after post from adoptive mothers who claim victory over their infertility because they are busy parenting their children. I am not one of them.

Seriously?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Okay…so here was today. Rainy. Like 3″ of rain. Plus it was chilly. The kiddos were on “fall break” while we had “professional development.” Seriously? Why can’t the teachers have a few days off? A friend of mine told me today she is pregnant. Yah! With twins. Seriously? She’s getting ready to pop out #4… Continue reading Seriously?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
