If I'm Not Pregnant, I'm Out of My Mind

Alright Ladies, and Gentlemen, I think - I THINK that I am pregnant. After having 3 children to date, you'd think that I would just know.

And, after just recently taking 4 pregnancy tests, if I'm not pregnant, I swear that I'm losing my mind.

The symptoms:

Cravings of abnormally fatty foods that I seem willing to fight my 2 year-old for, inclination to clean like a mad woman and finish all the jobs that I've started, an enormous gut that appears to either be brought on by years of drinking beer (I hate beer) - OR a little wee baby growing inside of me, pants too tight, insatiable urge to pee, uncomfortable when trying to sleep, either really happy - OR really sad and can't stop crying, easily agitated, and the list goes on of all the little quirks that I've been feeling.

The results of my 4 pregnancy tests by the way have been a clear "-" which if you have ever taken one, you'll know means that I am NOT pregnant. Except....1 of them, it was the 3rd one that I took....there was an itty bitty, faint "" symbol behind the "-" that was almost completely indiscernible. Now I faithfully read the instructions, and they claim that even the faintest mark of a "+" means that you're pregnant, even if one of the lines is substantially fainter than the other one.

I tell you, all this anticipation, and uncertainty are driving me nuts. Really, I just want to know already.

I normally get my period tomorrow - the very first of the month, but no signs that it is coming as of yet. I realize that all these symptoms seem to be coming early - but everything seems to happen sooner as far as I'm concerned after the more kids you have.

So, here I am. Pregnant, maybe, maybe not, maybe. If only I had a field of daisies to pluck the pedals out of to buy some time. I'm twiddling my thumbs, oh my gosh you have no idea!!!

So here's the thing. In the past 2 days I have made an ENTIRE quilt to pass the time (actually to keep my mind completely off of the pregnancy subject), I've done 26 loads of laundry, changed 5 beds, vacuumed, done 7 loads of dishes, you get the point, baked 2 batches of chocolate cookies, and even made homemade pizza.

But, alas, I guess I'm brought to one conclusion - that only time will tell, and I most certainly do not want to get my hopes up.

Last thing that I wanted to say: that I feel a real urge to be honest right here, right now. I do not like mean people, at all. And, I want to say (because this is my blog, and I can say whatever I feel like) that if you are going to be mean when you comment, don't bother. You're wasting your breath, and I won't waste my time acknowledging you. I figure that mean people must be bored, or sad. I don't have the time in my life to be either, in fact I love all the people that I've met thus far blogging, and enjoy sharing my little bit of my life with the world, no matter how crazy it is sometimes. So get lost all of you mean people, and write a blog won't you! It's a great way to vent, in your own domain, literally.

Marriage Tidbits

Here are some great tidbits from some married people, mainly women that I found to be quite profound while reading the article The things no one ever tells you about being married. I found this article over at Canadian Living.

Here were my favourite tidbits:

"If he leaves his socks on the floor on your honeymoon, chances are he is going to leave his socks on the floor on your 50th wedding anniversary." - Shannon, 36, married 10 years

"My only advice is to spend quality time together doing something you both enjoy." - Andrea, 34, married 7 years

"Whether you have been married for 6 months or 60 years, always put 100 per cent into your relationship and respect each other. If you looked at marriage as if both partners had the opportunity to renew the contract every 5 years, would your spouse want to renew?" - Judy, 41, married 18 years

"Remember, you do not love yourself 100 per cent of the time so do not expect to love your spouse 100 per cent of the time either. Seventy-five to 80 per cent will do." - Helen, 59, married 35 years

"Learn the fine art of compromise." - Dave, 57 (Cathy's husband)

"If you never think I’ve had it with him/her and I’m outta here' during your marriage then I suspect you are just not human.” - Jane, 60, married 37 years

If there was one thing that I could say about marriage, it would be....

"Love your partner each day as if their being with you is a gift, and you might never see them again. Laugh every day with them. Play every day with them. Surprise them each day. Love them with all of your heart, never hold back. Before you die, be able to say 'I lived, and I loved' and never have regrets." - Mama of Romance

What would you say? Comment below, and share your words of wisdom on the subject of marriage.

Here's a funny video clip of a ventriloquist on the subject of marriage, there is some foul language, but it is so funny!

Me and My Man

Over the past few weeks, I've felt closer than ever to my husband, as both a friend, husband, co-parent, and even sexually.

Why this closeness?

I'm not 100% certain, but think it has something to do with how riding all of the bumps in marriage can have you feeling closer than ever.

I've finally gotten rid of this cold that has been plaguing my family for it seems nearly a month, and feel great.

I'm so glad that everyone visiting Sex Diaries of a Mom was kind to my nervous hubbie who had the courage to write a post. I hope that you all enjoyed it, I laughed so hard as I helped him post it - asking "are you sure you want to write that!?" I cannot believe that he was gusty enough to use the word "dinky." He's a very comical guy. It's all in good fun.

In future, albeit the silly, and sometimes immature words that come from my husbands mouth, and alas your requests, I think he'll post again.


The day that he posted, we left for a little trip, and he was so nervous that you all might be upset, or annoyed, or thought what he wrote wasn't good that the second we got home, he booted up the computer, and checked the comments.

So thanks for being kind to him, he's the type of guy that doesn't talk a lot, especially to other women!

Anyhow, I'm off to hang out with the family today. Look forward to a fun, and productive week. Looks like I'll be blogging away here, there, and every where so stay tuned.



Sincerely,

Mama of Romance

This guy is funny. He reminds me a little bit of a younger Nicholas Cage, or that other funny guy that snorts a lot. Anyhow, he's a little naughty, so without anything further ado....here's the comedian Mitch Fatel!

I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by the lovely Bobby over at Mom2dm. Be sure to visit her blog. Thanks Bobby!

Here's the RULES:

Link to the person who tagged you and post the rules in your post.
Share 7 random/weird facts about yourself.
Tag 7 random people at the end of your blog and link to their blogs.
Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment in their blog.

1. I love fresh squeezed lemonade: 1 lemon, cut in half, juiced, 3 tsps sugar, 3 ice cubes, and a lot of water. Mmm.

2. The most common argument I have with my husband is about sex (how much we have don't have of it.) It's also about him being a pervert.

3. I still look at my husband the same as the day I met him. He is handsome, beyond words, and I love him so much.

4. One time I was eating as orange in the car, and I was so hungry, I shoved half of it in my mouth at once. I started to chew, but it was absolutely full of seeds. I was on the highway, and couldn't stop to spit the wood-tasting mouthful out, and I had nothing in the car to spit it out into.

5. I generally bite off way more than I can chew. For example, I had thought that since I was home already with my kids, it would be nice to raise puppies as well (good experience for all of us.) I would never recommend this however to anyone with 3 small children. I clean up more poo in a day than the guy driving the sewage truck.

6. I finally got my double jogging stroller, and after my 4 year-old went to school, I went for a jog. I felt like a Goddess! Oh my gosh, I finally feel free again. It was peaceful, quiet, and felt like it was just me - but my little ones were right there with me, it was awesome.

7. I'm now reading the last Harry Potter book, I will admit that I think that J.K Rowling is a writing sensation/genius. Love her writing.


I will now tag....

1. Melanie of Straight to Your Hart
2. Tena of Punky Monkey's

3. Ann of Ann Again...And Again

4. Jen of Cheaper Than Therapy

5. Rachel of Following in Her Shoes

Sassy Saturday - I'm the Sassy One Today!

I have to say I am so sorry if I have left comments for people that don't make any sense, or adhere to the wrong name!

Apparently it's tricky business blogging, and bouncing a baby at the same time.

I tagged some ladies, and might have left the wrong comment on the wrong blog! Renee, I am sorry! Yes, I am a little preoccupied...but not because I'm having sex! I was baking cookies.

Just kidding! Can you believe this picture! Who would make this kind of gingerbread cookie!?...other than my husband, who actually does make really yummy cookies. This is my sassy picture for today by the way!

Maybe, everyone should call me The Neurotic Mom - but I think I'll leave that title to the awesome Kelly!

Or say that I've gone Banana's - but no, I'll leave that to the Mom over at Absolutely Bananas!

Anyhooo....while I was at Renee's sweet blog Cutie Booty Cakes, I noticed this in the sidebar, and since it is of deep meaning to me because of my life experiences, I had to post it today.

I feel strongly about this subject (not feeling boobies) - no I don't enjoy feeling boobies, but in breast cancer awareness. So, ladies please pass it on, post it, make sure that you ALL check yourselfs out this week, and regularly!

Many of the women in my family have had breast cancer, some have not survived. Cancer is something that has deeply impacted who I am, and how I live.

So, please do your part to spread the word.

And, have a great weekend!

Mama of Romance

I appologize in advance if anyone owning, this or other children's stores is offended in anyway.

But....I must say, did you not think of how your sign might read after it was mounted on the outside of the building?!

I mean when I saw this, I was confused as to whether I should go into this store with my children, or not. I did want to exchange some of their clothing and toys, but I didn't want to give my kids a sex change....so help me out here!

.

Perhaps, it would have been to the customers, and to the owners benefit to put a SPACE between the word "kids" and "exchange"?

Just a thought.

Sexy Tip #9 For Moms

Call the one you love.

Pick up the phone, and give them a ring. Surprise them, and talk in a sexy voice.

For many of us, it's been ages since we talk on the phone like we did when we were dating. Now you live together, and in the instance that you're not together, when one is at work, the average conversation has something to do with "Honey, could you pick up ____ before you come home?" Or, "What do you mean that bill didn't get paid!"

While normal, everyday conversations are great, and are essential to keeping the lines of communication open, throwing in a sexy conversation every once, and a while will help to keep the romance alive.

Surprise your partner, by simply calling to say something sweet, or sexy.

Sincerely,

Mama of Romance

I've Been Tagged!

I have been Tagged by Melanie of Straight to Your Hart!

Here are the RULES, because you know these tags always have rules . . .

1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.

2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.Okay, here are 7 facts about myself:

__________________________________

1. I'm a brunette. I have always wanted to grow my hair longer than my nipples. That sounds silly, but it's true. However, every time I try to do just that for whatever reason it ends up getting cut - not this time! (I say that every time.)

2. My favorite food is chocolate, of various kinds: mint chocolate ice cream, chocolate cheese cake, oohhh - Lydor chocolate are my absolute most sinfully favorite, and good old fashioned home made chocolate chip cookies. Even after 3 kids, I refuse to diet, ever. I insist that you should be able to eat what you want, when you want, so long as you exercise plenty (and what you're eating isn't absolutely totally unhealthy.)

3. I hold strong believes: treat others the way you want to be treated, be the best that you can be, live your dreams, never take no for an answer, stand up for yourself, always be a kid inside, I don't like mean people, love with all of your heart, live with no regrets, savour the moment, treat yourself, love yourself, surprise yourself, be happy, look on the bright side, never give up....and the list goes on, and grows as I get older - I am 24 years old, and much older than my years.

4. I dream big, plan big, and do big. Go big, or go home. I am a very passionate person, and do everything, experience everything to it's fullest.

5. I shop too much. Way too much, in spurts really. I like to have sets of things - for instance, I cannot buy a green purse, without green shoes, and a green coat. My bedroom is all this camel colour/tropical theme - it's all matching, terrible really. I hate it now that it's finished. I am trying to learn how to diversify my likes/dislikes.

6. I try to do too many things at the same time. I'm a stay at home Mom, work at home Mom, who aspires to write children's novels, illustrate them, write adult novels, run my home business, help my husband with his, run my online business, blog, paint children's murals, finish university, start a nursing home, and be the best Mom, wife, and woman that I can be. I wear many hats, of various shapes, and sizes, that is for sure.

7. I would rather clean a toilet, than clean the refridgerator. I would rather clean up the kitchen than do the laundry, and I'd rather blog than do any of the above.

I've Been Tagged!

Leah over at Diaires of a Domestic Goddess tagged me...

1. Where were you 10 years ago?

I was in High School, a lot less mature, a little wild (just a little.)

2. What is on today's To Do List?

To finish painting the mural in my 4 year-olds bedroom. I must have been crazy to think that I could whip up a 8 x 10 mural in a pinch! But, it's worth all the sweat, and the frustration, my little man calls me an "artist." It's going to get messy!

3. Name 5 places you have lived:

I've only ever moved once, okay twice. Always lived in Ontario, Canada. I moved an hour away after I got married, and then 50 ft from our old house to where we live now in our new home, that isn't finihed yet.

4. Name 3 of your bad habits:.

Eating too much chocolate, taking those I love for granted at times although I wish I didn't (that took guts to admit), and not putting laundry away (you can't see our family room couch most of the time, it's more like a mountain of clothes - I like to think it's because I can't reach the top closet rod in any of our closets...but it's more a lack of time, and desire.)

5.What are your favorite snacks?

Chocolate, Babaganush - if I spelt that right (it's an eggplant dip, good with toasted crackers - man that sounds gross!), and nachos.

6. Who will you tag for this meme?

Petra of The Wise (*Young*) Mommy and Rachel of Following in My Shoes.
