ugh. but also- woo!

Ugh- (UH-g) interjection: The sound that describes a feeling of moderate displeasure or irritation. Often accompanied by a facial expression like this:

Things that could cause someone to experience the feeling of ugh:

 Ugh-  When your husband has to work late every single night of the week and still might have to go in on the weekend, too. And he's a banker, so like...banker's hours are what you're used to. AKA you're a pansy and have never experienced a husband working past 5:03 before.

Ugh- When you hear 57 pregnancy announcements in four days. And many of them are from fellow infertiles and that is AWESOME, seriously-- but still, ugh. Still not me. Still gonna be the last childless person on earth. Ugh.

Ugh- When previously quality and enjoyable (or at least tolerable) Facebook friends suddenly get involved with some MLM company and blow up your news feed shilling their wares and services and like just stop already. Ugh is having to decide whether to block them from your newsfeed, because you still want to see their pictures of kids and funny comments about current events and HuffPost recommendations, but you really cannot handle seeing another picture of their product.

Ugh- When you realize your amazing Mexican beach vacation is STILL ANOTHER MONTH AWAY. But you really wish it was like...now.

Ugh- When you somehow manage to brush off the symptoms of patellar tendonitis during stages 1 and 2 and then find yourself in stage 3 and your knee hurts all the time. But since knee doctors can't get you babies, you will refuse to seek and pay for treatment and instead just complain about it until it goes away.

Ugh- When it rains 24/7 for like 2100 days and then it finally stops long enough for you to go outside and peek at your flowers and vegetables but oh my GOSH the mosquitoes are so bad you can't stay out for more than 28 seconds without being eaten alive. And also there are mushrooms (most evil substance on earth ever) growing all over your lawn and flowers. Sick.

Ugh- When you somehow manage to not check Twitter for 2 hours last night and then once you're in bed and take one last glance, discover that you somehow missed the Cultural Event of the Decade-- the premiere of Sharknado on Syfy.

Ugh is annoying, but it's not the end of the world. Luckily it can be balanced out by the feeling of woo!

Woo! (WOO) interjection: A sound that describes a feeling of excitement and approval. Often accompanied by a facial expression like this:

This is kind of a scary woo!, but a woo! all the same.

Things that could cause one to experience the feeling of woo!:

Woo!- When you think about how glad you are that your husband has a job and that his boss needs his help a lot during a difficult transition. And also- overtime pay.

Woo!- When you (a very newbie, novice, clueless user of Adobe design products) design a graphic for an event at work and hear multiple people compliment the graphic and attribute it to the office's graphic designer-- and then you have to interject and inform them that YOU ACTUALLY DID IT and then they are mad impressed and you are ridiculously proud of your silly little graphic. 

Woo!- When several infertile friends find themselves with child- some with medical assistance, some via straight-up miracles, and you are reminded that God has not forgotten us. And you're so thankful for the amazing community of women you've found yourself in.

Woo!- When you wake up with beach-wavey hair two days in a row.

Woo!- When the 2100 days of rain give you such an abundance of tomatoes that you can take some to work to share with friends.

Woo!- When you get an email from Starbucks thanking you for being a member of 'My Starbucks Rewards' and offering you a reward of a FREE ANYTHING IN THE STORE THAT YOU WANT (food or drink)!!!! Any size! Any number of add-ins! FREE FREE FREE! And then you spend three days figuring out what would be the most expensive combination of things on earth and plan to go get it for your Friday afternoon coffee break. FOR FREE!

Woo!- When it's Friday at long sweet last and even though the weekend may be interrupted by the husband working and rain, it's still gonna be weekend. There will be yummy food, tasty veggies from the garden, time with friends, and hopefully a couple solid hours of tennis.

Woo!- When you can convince your husband to join you for your lame selfie photo session in the car on the way to work. At a red light, of course.
