Women of Strength!!!

A Strong Woman VS. A Woman Of Strength


A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape…
But a woman of strength builds relationships to keep her soul in shape.

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything…
But a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of fear.

A strong woman won't let anyone get the better of her…
But a woman of strength gives the best of herself to everyone.

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future…
A woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be unexpected blessings and capitalizes on them.

A strong woman wears a look of confidence on her face…
But a woman of strength wears grace.

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey…
But a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong.

Good morning everyone.

I'm back at work today.  NOT enjoying it. My boss is nowhere to be seen, so I'm okay with that. Okay weekend update.  This may be long.

Thursday and Friday, DH and I fought like crazy.  I found out later that he was pushing me away because he's scared about my test results.  He's scared I'll have cancer and he doesn't know what to do with that anger.  So somehow it got redirected back to me.  So we fought.  I knew he was just being a crank-butt, but I needed to clear my head.  So Friday after work I went down to my mom's house.  We went out for drinks.  Saturday we went shopping (SO MUCH FUN!). I spent too much money but I got a ton of new clothes for work that were all 60% off.  So, oh well.  We went to see Star Trek.  It was good.  The kid who plays Captain Kirk was pretty easy on the eyes.  Then I went home. Hubby was in a MUCH better mood.
I waited all day for that phone call from the doctor but it never came.  Oh well.  I know that his Saturdays are pretty busy.  So hopefully I'll hear from him soon.

Sunday was rough.  AF lightened up quite a bit, but I was in such bad pain.  I stayed in bed a lot. I just couldn't get comfortable.  DH's family came over to see the puppies, or as I like to call them now:  The Poop Machines.  lol.  They are so big and doing so well.  We wormed them this weekend, and one of them got weighed by the vet.  4 weeks old and 6lbs.  Holy Chunk Monkey.   They are fully weaned now, which is good.  We said goodbye to one of them on Sunday.  DH's aunt and uncle bought one.  The brown little girl with the big blue eyes.  Her name is Maya.  So that was a little sad.
Sunday night we had dinner with the in laws.  That was fun.

Monday was amazing.  DH was asked to give the Memorial Day speech for our town.  What an honor.  As a veteran they felt he would do well.  And he did.  About halfway through his speech, he was talking about two of his best friends who were KIA (killed in action).  One, his roommate, died in DH's arms.   He got really choked up during his speech and there were tears running down his face. He doesn't talk about Iraq much, but he did yesterday.  I was so proud of him.  The whole crowd was in tears.  He ended his speech with a quote that said:
"When You Go Home, Tell Them Of Us And Say,
For Their Tomorrow, We Gave Our Today"

It was beautiful.  Then we cleaned the house, had supper, watched movies.  It was a good day.

OHHHHH best part of the weekend!!!  

On Saturday at 7:23pm WE BECAME GOD PARENTS!!!  Little Harper Mae was born!  I will post pictures tonight.  She's so beautiful, I can't even tell you.

That's my weekend!  I'll write more later!

Naf:  Best wishes for your appt today!!!  I know, I was nervous when I met my RE, too, but I'm sure you'll feel better once you're there & find out what the game plan is ;)

Hannah:  Good luck with the job today!  =)  Sounds like you've got a lot going on in the next month or so.  Best wishes!!!

Luvkayln:  Thinking of you today!!!  I'm sure that was Kayln in your dream, letting you know everything will be okay ;)  So, I'm getting some AF-type cramps here & there & hoping that she shows this week =)

Joyce:  Wow, you're leaving tomorrow!  We'll all be thinking of you & looking forward to your update on Sunday!!!

Stacey:  How was your u/s yesterday?  I hope little Jake's kidney is doing well & he's growing like crazy ;)

Candie:  How was your anniversary & your weekend?!

Keyan:  I can't believe your lap is next week!!!  I'm glad at least your busy work days will be behind you by then & you can take it easy afterwards.  Hang in there!  Just a few more days this week!!! =)

dnikki:  Good luck with the potty training =)

ad_06:  I know we m/c'd around the same time & I O'd a week later than normal this tiem, which I attribute to the m/c.  I'm now waiting for AF & expect her this week.  I hope she shows soon for you, too!  You know, it's funny.  When I got pregnant, my belly protruded a bit & even now, I have a little belly.  I wonder if my body is just out of whack because of all it's been through?!  It's funny 'cause I exercise & do lots of abs, but still have just that little "pooch" in my belly...

mareski:  Good luck!  I hope you do O with the clomid, but ad_06 is right.  Don't be surprised if you O a bit later than usual.

armyprincess:  Update with your appt results!  I can't believe you're so close!!!  Good luck today =)

mrspace:  That's great that dh was honored with the privilege to give a Memorial Day speech! =)  It sounds like he did a great job!  Please thank him for his service to our country!!!  It sounds like you had a nice, busy weekend.  I hope you get those results soon & they give you some guidance on how to proceed forward.  Take care! :)

guesito:  How are you doing?  Did you find the air horn? ;)
