No, not the name Mia - I am talking about me...being M.I.A. I went on "spring break" last week - funny seeing how I am NOT a teacher nor am I a student. Oh, well, the tradition continues for this lady.
We had a wonderful week of beautiful weather, too much beer, lots of yummy food and laughs. But, its always nice to return home.
R and I leave for the beach again on Wednesday for a good friend's wedding. I am a slacker - basically taking 2 weeks off from work. Oh well...that's what vacation time is for!!!
Met with Dr. K today - went over new protocol, etc. We'll get started either in a couple weeks or the next cycle. I'm kinda over being infertile, though. I am sick of thinking about it, writing about it, talking about it. I know...you get the point. So, while I will be here - cheering you on, I may not be posting very often.
I re-read "Waiting for Daisy" for the 3rd time last night. Man, that book...go get it if you haven't read it before. Or, ladies - let me know if you want to borrow it - although I might make you sign over your first born in the promise that you will return it. (Anyone laughing at my joke???). Anyway, that book basically feels like my life - minus the 5 continents, 3 miscarriages and failed adoptions. However, she has so many insightful things to say. I might start at the beginning of it again tonight.
Anywhoo...just wanted you to know I am here. Praying for my sisters in the trenches. Praying for myself....waiting for my own Daisy.

Glad to see you enjoying some much-deserved vacation time. I second being "over" being infertile!!!
Glad you are back! Jealous of all the beach time but glad you're back nevertheless. I know what you mean about being over it...sometimes it feels as though you lose your identity and just become the "infertile one" or "the one who has to do IVF"...the list could go on and on and on. Looking forward to having your shoulder to lean on IRL...
:)
I loved that book too...we're all waiting for our own little Daisy. I, too, am ready for cheesecake...it can't come soon enough.
Thinking of you too, no matter how little you blog (hey, I can't cast stones as I too am a horrible blogger). I LOVE Waiting for Daisy. I think the most profound lesson I learned when I read it last summer was to not let infertility rob me of my marriage. Easier said than done, but wise words. Glad you had a good time with the Mr. A little R&R is well-deserved!
Yay for a little R&R! Now did you go all MTV spring break on us? (-;
Blog as much or as little as you need/want, hun. We are here when you need us ready to listen to whatever you say.
Many hugs.
I'm glad you got a vacation! Yeah, this stuff gets old after awhile! You are brave to give it another go.
Oh enjoy the two weeks, it will do you no end of good!!

I just went to Amazon and ordered the book. I need a good, inspirational book about now!
I hear you about being sick of documenting infertility. Ugh. It is just everywhere. . . and impossible to escape. Trust me, I tried!
Enjoy the well-deserved break. Let us know how it was when you get back!
Thinking of you ... hoping that this time of R&R is very rejuvinating.
Take all the time you need, Lord knows that I've taken month long breaks in blogging - sometimes it's just too hard.
Big hugs,
Polly
Glad you had a great vacation. ou deserve it!
