I wasn't bedridden, but I was meaaan. Changing to a much lower carb diet helped immensely. My "pms" these days is usually just one day of crankiness or tears.<br /><br />@Barb, sfo--- We taught for 10 years, too, and I love having the data that charting gives us. And I'm glad to know the music is just a crock!<br /><br />@Barbara---I have StitchMinder (free) and Stitch-n-Count (not free) which is kinda cool and manages several projects at once.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12072984925282936743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172588600946128888.post-72532747609094697182012-01-21T07:36:43.409-05:002012-01-21T07:36:43.409-05:00The focusing thing is a crock.

And my daughter was yelling the other day because we have choir practice in my house, and she was trying to study for a test--usually she's blasting her own radio, so what's the difference?<br /><br />My baby turns 10 in about 6 weeks and I'm SO with you on all of that!<br /><br />And yeah, what Barbara said about laziness and NFP. Plus, if it weren't for NFP, I wouldn't have had the kind of data I needed to back up my claims that things were abnormal (as they found out when a doctor finally listened and scheduled me for surgery!) We used (and taught) NFP for 19 years until my surgery canceled out the need for it.Barb Szyszkiewiczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00329184613713551475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172588600946128888.post-21719605358975742342012-01-21T01:37:34.617-05:002012-01-21T01:37:34.617-05:00the thought of an iud being put in is enough to ma...the thought of an iud being put in is enough to make me permanently cross my legs! i wish i didn't have to be on the pill (it mitigates out my really wicked pms) but it's a necessary evil if it means that i'm not bedridden during that week.jenhttp://grace-filled.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5172588600946128888.post-85776246174641259922012-01-20T17:29:26.636-05:002012-01-20T17:29:26.636-05:00I checked my iphone for knitting apps and came up ...I checked my iphone for knitting apps and came up with quite a few. Which one do you use?<br /><br />On the topic of nfp -- people are too lazy to learn and use it. It's easier to take a pill. And they are ignorant of the truths of contracepting. Ignorant and/or lazy. That's the sad truth. :-(Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747308009364094199noreply@blogger.com
