Today is my 8 year wedding anniversary.
Leaving in a few to go see DCFC at red rocks. A friend of mine is close with the band and got me on the guest list, so what's better than a ~free~ show? Especially when I am jobless.
Have a good night everyone. If you haven't read the comments from the last post, do it. It's fucking hilarious.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Manual version to flip baby from breech to head down, Labor, Delivery, Emergency surgery due to cord detaching from placenta, Scary heart issues from losing over 40% of my blood supply, and then a blood transfusion due to the extreme loss of blood.

Have a great Anniversary Nancy!! Just wanted to mention (I'm behind on my reading and just catching up with your blog) that I was laid off on May 8th... my last day of maternity leave. They called me and told me over the phone and after 4 years with them, they gave me 3 weeks severance - awesome :)
