I want to Thank You

I love when readers leave their comments! I really enjoy reading them! I do moderate all of them before they go up and wanted to let you know that those with my name, or my family members names will not be posted. I try to keep a modicum of anonymity on the net. You can just call me BigM, or refer to the kids as "A, BR or little J (A.K.A Biscuit)" thank you for understanding!

HSG results

DH and I went for my HSG (fertility test) yesterday. It was not fun! It hurt like bad "first day" cramps. I'm still hurting today. Last night I had taken a Tylenol PM and still woke in pain in the middle of the night. That's ok though because.....MY TUBES ARE OPEN!!!!! We can for sure get pg (pregnant)!! I'm so excited and happy that I want to cry! All that is left now is to BD (baby dance) at the right time and wait. Hurry up and wait. Isn't that about the story of life?

We went to Mosi!!

We went to Mosi (Museum of Science and Industries) yesterday and we had a BLAST!! They have the only Imax theater here in Florida and we saw "Dinosaurs Alive". It was pretty awesome! I am looking forward to going back to see more movies in the future. Here are some pics of our field trip...

Here we are at the very first dino in the "special" exhibit I can not remember the name of it right this minute...


Next was the Tyrannosaurus. A thought it was hilarious "I have a big head, and little arms! (I don't think this plan was very well thought out!?)"



Here we are as dinos ourselves. First are the girls...



This is J and I. Can you guess who's who??



This is A on the high wire. I couldn't believe she actually did it! I'd have peed myself! It is two stories up!


It was a really cool trip. They had so many things to see and do! They even had a hurricane wind "tunnel" that you can get into. The winds go up to 78 mph! Yikes!


It took us the better part of the day just to get through the whole place. Even then, we skipped some things. I was bummed that the planetarium shows were all sold out. Oh well, maybe next time. There will definitely be a next time!

Free firewood!!!

For us anyway! DH woke me this am to tell me not to let the kids go outside. Evidently, during the storms last night, a branch from our ginourmous oak tree fell! I snapped some pics, but was unable to capture the enormity of it all.

This is where the limb actually broke. It was more than 12" around.



DH's BMW is what kept it from crashing all the way down... It has a HUGE dent in the hood now...



It also took out my patio chair, but spared my table, for which I am greatful!



Here are a couple of pics from where the branch gave and hit our cement walkway...



Notice how thick it was, granted, it was on the edge, but still....





We should be pretty set for firewood this winter at least, provided it doesn't get eaten by termits between now and then! I can rest easy knowing that we will be warm!

TTFN,
Me
