No title

I'm not sure how to title this post, so one without a title seems a bit more appropriate.

1. School/work is so so busy. My sophomores just finished Julius Caesar and so now I have a TON of grading to get that unit over. Thankfully though, my co-teacher is taking on the next unit completely...her first for this school year. I'm proud of her, as it is a book I've never taught, so she's doing it all without much of my help. I'm over my juniors and seniors and they're over me, so the remaining days are seeming to just drag. I do feel somewhat refreshed in knowing that next year I won't be teaching either juniors or seniors, and look forward to teaching freshmen, a grade I've never taught in my 12 years in education.

2. Things at the house are coming together quickly and nicely. We finally have some landscaping in (minus the mulch) and some rooms are painted and some curtains/valances are up. My parents bought us a gas grill for our birthdays and we got that a few weeks back and have been highly enjoying that luxury. I still walk through rooms thinking "this is OUR house" or pull up our driveway with a HUGE grin on my face. That makes me so so happy.

3. I did have a very rough day yesterday. Thank you to those who understood and offered words of support. Lots of tears and just overall sadness, but by the end of the day I did my best to put a smile upon my face for my mother-in-law's sake, who spent the weekend with us.

4. So hard to believe that one year ago, on May 7th, two embryo's were transferred into C. One year. How I wish time didn't fly by so quickly.

5. Lastly, it seems as if our pursuit of adoption is temporarily off. I did some further digging into our agency and discovered that the cost of a domestic adoption is MUCH more than we were planning. Quite simply, it's just money we do not have, especially with having a new house and whatnot. With time we'll be able to hopefully re-establish/re-build our bank accounts from all of our previous IF expenses, and from buying a house, and that is when we'll start the process. I know I'm still young...but knowing that yet another year of getting to become a mom has been put off makes my heart hurt, but it is what it is. No amount of tears in the world are going to make the situation better.

So, I guess that's about all. Talk about doom and gloom. Geesh. Sorry. I'm going to take a blogging break for a little while. I'll be back sometime soon, I'm sure...
