42

Yikes! I know what to write about.

It’s 2014 so that means I am now 42 going on 43. I’ll be 43 in December. OMG! I kinda’ want to have a baby of my own (preferably a daughter). Kinda’ sorta’…

Well I know my chances of getting pregnant worsen as I age. I thought  that by my late thirties my chances were down to about 10%. I guess it isn’t so…

But this year…before I turn 43…this is the year my chances greatly weaken. I should really try before December.

I must lose weight. I must lose weight. I think that has been what has keeping me from getting pregnant.

Then I find this article that says I may have more of chance than I think…that the data about fertility after 40 is really old and inaccurate. Yay!

Nothing New

So I am an on a roll, posting a blog post (no matter how boring) everyday this month…well since February 27. I don’t know what to post for today. Nothing new going on, just more of the same. I don’t feel like doing anything though I have lots to do. I spent the day in bed, napping. I called off from work. Blah!

But things are looking up. I finally got some money for the boys after almost 2 months of nothing. That is a relief.

I feel a bit better than I have– like I can accomplish something, finally.

I made my TO  DO list and it doesn’t seem too overwhelming– I just need to get to it.

Here is the stuff I need to accomplish:

Go to the bank

Dishes (never-ending)

Laundry (never-ending)

Adolescent Lit paper (4-6 pages) — TODAY

Irish Lit paper, The Commitments (3-4 pages) (past due –FRIDAY/SATURDAY)

Finish reading The Infinities

Irish Lit paper, The Infinities (3-4 pages) (past due—SATURDAY)

Listen to the lectures

Visit the discussion board

Read the papers…

Irish Lit paper, The Blackwater Lightship (work on SUNDAY–due Monday, March 24)

American Novel paper (2-6 pages) (past due)

American Novel report, Erasure (due whenever)

Irish Lit presentation, Emma Donoghue (due April 8)

Adolescent Lit article critique (due April 16)

Adolescent Lit author study (due April 16)

If I get all this done by March 28–31, all I’ll have to work on for April is two big papers—one for Irish Lit and one for The American Novel—and maybe some small papers for Irish Lit.

So I got a load of dishes and a load of laundry going on…made the kids pick up their room and go them a snack. Chewed out my nephew Kenny for lying about his homework; soon I’ll have to get started on mine.
