I am so very excited now that I have my cap and gown!!!
That's right, you can be jealous, I'm totally rockin' the mumu/gown look!
Amanda, my sister, Me and my daughter, Alyssa
My son, Wesley, and me!
My daughter and me again!
That seems like enough of sharing of photos, but at least you can picture who's doing the blogging now, and when I complain about my sister or kids, you can now see who I'm talking about! But beware, I have two sisters, and one brother. I actually have to haul ass to Columbus tomorrow after my 9am graduation from University of Cincinnati to get to his Ecot graduation (centrally located in Cbus), so we have a FULL day tomorrow of events! And then likely a brunch or dinner or something with the fam on Sunday. And the pictured sister is now playing Vitamin C "Graduation" which is making me tear up, because it was our song for the Mt. Healthy High School Class of 2001. Doesn't really make me feel old, well, no older than the 10 year reunion for the Deer Park High School Class of 2001, whom I identify with much more than Mt. Healthy, where I technically graduated from.

On another note: a very very very very very good friend of mine is trying one more IF med cycle (provera for those of you who know what that is), so she could use all the good thoughts and prayers she can get. There are not two more deserving people who NEED this to work for them. (Because if it doesn't work...I'm going to wherever they are stationed next and we're totally doing the turkey baster thing for surrogacy, obviously after I have Jesse.) Apparently, the Universe is just sitting on the pot, and it needs to shit or get up, cuz they have been waiting *somewhat* patiently for months and months and well, might as well just say years, cuz that's how it feels I'm sure, but they TOTALLY deserve this! Their last attempt didn't take, and that's when I ended up pregnant with this one. I guess I was thinking so many fertile sticky thoughts for her that the Universe got confused, because I was not supposed to end up preggos, she was!!! It's so desperately unfair. I will likely post some blogs about IF too, because for the last year I have been very careful of what I say and how I say it, because it never occurred to me (like most fertile women) that some of the things I say or complain about or take for granted can really do a number on a woman who is suffering from infertility. So, when your kids are driving you insane and you want to complain all over about it, remember there is a woman somewhere desperately wishing to be annoyed and brought to her knees by the thought of never having a child of her own. Adoption is not for everyone, and it is a very personal decision (I get so annoyed when people post "Can't you just adopt" on her posts because I mean really, would you trade your kids in for someone else's genetic child? I mean, really, would you?) I know my aunt dealt with a lot of issues with IF too way back in the day (she did eventually conceive and her baby just graduated from Urseline-Sorry if I misspelled it, still proud of you!!) but not everyone is that lucky.
Aw. LOVE YOU!
