Bummed.

I've been really emotional as of late.

I keep wondering if the hormones for the IVF cycle are still screwing me up.
I haven't felt like myself for months now.

It sounds ridiculous, but every time DH leaves for work, I cry. Every. Damn. Time.

I (we) haven't had any time to grieve. It's been full-on work during the IVF cycle and since the u/s. How am I supposed to just move along and deal with normal life, selling a house and sassy high school kids while inside all I want to do is stay home and mourn the loss of our second pregnancy this year?

Sheesh.

Dh and I talked about what other options we have last night.

Do I quit my job?

Do I hang on until the end of the semester and then quit?

Do I take some time off?

Do I leave once I have the surgery and decide then if I will come back?

Do I grow a pair and keep plugging along like everything is fine?


There is no answer.

So what do I do?

I'm not sure yet. Crappy, stressful, and stupid as my job can be, I think I just needs to grin and bare it for now. Am I going to feel better for doing this, definitely not.

But I will be getting paid and staying on top with my employers who need to recommend me to other schools if I ever want another job again.

Maybe next year, I'll quit and take time to do more IVF/FET cycles or adopt.

Oh June, why are you so far away? :)

  1. From one teacher to another-I understand, it's not easy. I would say follow your heart. Thanksgiving break is right around the corner it might be just enough to let you unwind a bit. Then we've got Christmas and Spring break. You might be able to tough it out. Resigning is scary, if it works where you are, like it does here, we can't be rehired by any school in the same district if we resign. It sucks! (hugs)

  2. I know what you mean, but LUCKILY, my school is it's own district :) So that wouldn't be a problem. I'd never just up-and-leave. I'd make sure it was on good terms, my principal knows what has been going on.

    Regardless, I probably won't. It's just one of the options that is nice to know I have if all help breaks loose. First year in a new district is hard already. But with all of this--it's insane most days.

    (Hugs) right back!
