Pumpkin Extravaganza

Good MORNING!!!  I am sitting in my pj's this morning (mismatched of course) trying to figure out where to start this post.  We can get the fun stuff out of the way.

Friday night, after I got off of work we got Subway on the go and made it to the 7:55pm showing of

(picture from http://www.cinemaverdict.com/)

This movie was pretty funny.  Vince Vaughn is in typical Vince Vaughn humor.  The relationship building was dead-on for each couple.  I won't ruin any parts for you if you haven't seen it yet.  I was surprised at the beginning of the movie though and wasn't sure if I was going to make it through.  GO SEE IT.  Or wait until it hits REDBOX(best thing ever!)

Saturday, I went to work and Clint came with me.  (I LOVE THAT!) I trained a couple of clients and did some sweaty-beast cardio and we called it a day.  Why would you call it a day so early??  Well because we had RIBS soaking in a crockpot ready for him to devour and the biggest rival of the season was playing a 2:30pm.

ALABAMA vs. TENNESSEE

Typcially, I piddle around the house a bit and read while watching the games, because us women can multi-task like nobody's biznaz. 

Towards the end we (meaning Clint) was getting a wee bit nervous that TN would come back.  In a .4 sec last chance to kick a field goal, AL blocked another kick.  Making the score 12-10. YIPEEE!!!  Otherwise our house would have been a tidbit full of tension.  Problem avaded.

The we decided to have the 1st ever (I am still surprised we have never done this!) 

PUMPKIN CARVING EXTRAVAGANZA!!!!

He is really trying to get his creative juices flowing.

Still, lettin them flow.........

And because Mr. Clint thought it would help him in drawing the perfect pumpkin face, he decided to put me into the laundry basket.  Yeppers, those are my legs hanging out!!!

Our finished products!!!!! Can you tell who carved which????

Oh, also during the game yesterday while piddling, reading, and watching I put this together.

Every time I go to a baby tea/shower I make this for the mom to be.  They are always different, but typically the same concept.  This one has 40 diapers individually rolled to make each tier.  Isn't that the cutest thing?!?!  Needless to say I went to a baby tea yesterday.  In case you don't know what a tea is ( I think its a Southern thang!)  It is for a couple of hours and people come and go.  There are usually snacks, cake, sugar, and all of the presents are opened when they are recieved and then displayed on tables for everyone to gauk at. 

Now, we get into the emotional stuff I am dealing with...........

Yesterday morning, getting ready for church,  I was the director of "How many outfits will Courtney try on!"

It was a long long production!  Although, I am not gaining any more weight, all of my clothes are fitting different because well when you stop lifting weights to increase your body fat% your muscles starts to say SAYONARRA!!!!  Well, mine is waving GOOD-BYE!!!  I fought tears all morning.  I had my makeup on already and I was NOT re-doing.  I was quiet all the way to church in fear of losing it. 

Clint had to help with communion so, I sat behind my family (my family pew has 10-12 people on it every Sunday and Clint and I were tired of being sardines!) by myself waiting on him to come sit after he was finished.  During the "meet and greet" my daddy came over and said, "Have I told you how proud I am of you and how much I love you?"  He starts tearing up.  Hold on buddy!!  You better dry up those tears.  I will NOT lose it in church for goodness sakes. 

THEN my mom comes over and hugs me and asks how I am, and I told her about my movie (well pieces of it, since I was choking back alligator tears!)

For the next 10 MINUTES, I couldn't even sing because every time I opened my mouth, I was afraid I would turn into a Weeping willow and not be able to stop. 

I am just so frustrated and upset.  I want this so badly and yet, God is not ready for us to be pregnant.

I am terrified that some old bitty(perfectly acceptable term!) is going to come up to me and say " I see you have put on a few pounds are you pregnant?!?!"  I might just have to kick gramma in her dentures. 

I keep trying to talk to myself (yeah that could become a problem) that this os going to be worth it.  You are preparing your body....yada yada yada.  For the most part, I tell myself that and it works.  But yesterday it was an all day struggle.

ANY THOUGHTS TO HELP A SISTA OUT???

ANYONE ELSE STRUGGLING WITH THESE TYPES OF THINGS OR BAD BODY VIBES??

So for today, I am going to work on being totally postive on things.  I am day 3 of Clomid and no side affects.  Wait, maybe the mood swings?!  But for all I know a mood swing is a symptom for that some other disease that I will Google.  Google is so addicting!!

Have a great day!
