Emotional Eating Wins Again!

Today there was a baby shower at work.

I went, I stayed for a few minutes, held the baby (they waited for the shower until after the birth because Mom and Dad wanted the gender to be a surprise), then I had to come back to my desk. I feel kind of guilty for saying that I am kind of glad I got out of there. I just hate how everyone is always “SO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO HAVE ONE!?” and “Doesn’t this just make you want a baby!?”

If they only knew! But I’m really good at faking it when I need to, so it was natural for me to just smile and laugh and kind of play (coyly) along with everyone.

I ate too many M&Ms, too many mixed nuts, and while I had intended to only eat the top half of my cake (you know, the part with the frosting), EE got the best of me and I snarfed it all down. And I don’t even care.

In TTC news, well, we’re TTC again. I have been taking ClearBlue Easy ovulation tests every day. There’s a different pee stick every day for 20 days. The pee sticks click into a digital “reader” and if the proper hormones are present in the urine, the reader shows a little smiley face. No smiley face on my pee sticks yet. But if anyone was watching me do these things in the morning, I’m sure they’d get a kick out of it. I stumble to the bathroom, half asleep, fight with the package of the little tester stick, fumble trying to get it “clicked” into the digital reader thing, and by the time I get all that done and start pulling my panties down to sit on the toity, I’m literally about to wet myself.
