I was talking with Den last night about this and that, and his trip to Hawaii came up. Business trip. I had a chance to go with him, but that would mean paying for my flight, as well as someone to watch the dogs for two weeks. Which are both way out of our affordable range. Just the flight itself is more than we can afford to pay right now. So we decided I’d stay home with the dogs, and he’d go off and do the conference thing, and I’d try not to die of jealousy. Though, I’ve been to Hawaii multiple times before, so I can’t get too jealous. ;)

Well last night this came up again and I said, “Shit. Shit!!” He leaves on September 9th, the saturday after labor day weekend. My brain had clued in and started thinking, I am supposed to get my period only days before labor day weekend vacation… which means… I ovulate two weeks later… while he’s away. September 12th, to be exact. So I started cursing and Den didn’t understand why. I explained it to him. There was silence. “Come with me?!” Still not an option, for previously mentioned reasons.

So I guess we hope that the sperm are super-sperm and manage to live inside me for several days until I ovulate. And hope I ovulate early. Or, we can just hope that I get pregnant in August so that ovulation in September is besides the point. Because I would be so seriously pissed off to miss an entire month.
