I don't know why, but I've been kind of down the past couple of weeks. Maybe because the holidays are coming up. Maybe because there were 4 pregnancy announcements in this past week, 3 of them complete surprises. Maybe it's because my SIL's due date is getting closer. I don't know.
Tonight is another Resolve meeting. I'm actually volunteering to become one of the leaders of the group. The current leader has done it for two years now and feels like it's time for someone else to take the reins. I feel like I've really gotten all that I can out of the group as far as support. Pretty much everyone who was going to the group when I started is either pregnant, had a child, or is adopting. I want to stay involved with Resolve though. There is so much misinformation out there that I feel the need to educate people.
We're still kind of in limbo. No real plan at the moment either. We're open to adoption, but honestly, I can't see myself putting for the effort (and money) that is required to adopt. That's funny. I'm too lazy to become a parent.
There was one thing this week that cheered me up though. This blog post about being infertile on facebook. Highly entertaining.

Oh yeah, another highlight. I ran a 5k race yesterday. I was severely undertrained and knew that going in. Because of that, I ran my slowest 5k ever. And get this. It was such a small race that I placed in my age group! I got some kind of award, but I left before the awards ceremony, so I don't know what it is. My first time to ever place in a race though (and probably last)!

I think it's great that you are going to help lead your Resolve group.
Three cheers to everyone collectively under-training for the 5K? ;)
I am sorry your feeling down. I hope you feel better soon. Congrats on the 5k. I don't care how slow you ran, that is totally awesome that you did it.
I'm sorry to hear you're down. I hate days like those, especially when everyone around you seems to be so happy in their perfect lives looking forward to the holidays. It just makes it all seem that much worse.
I think being a leader for Resolve would be a great thing for you. It seems that it is something you find a purpose in doing, and it sounds like you could use that right now. Go for it!
Nice job on the 5k! I'd never make it. You'd find me passed out from exhaustion 10 feet from the starting line. lol
