My Mind Playing Tricks on Me

It's actually pretty crappy when it comes to pregnancy testing. I'm pretty good at waiting for other things that I really want. But when I have several pregnancy tests that amount to maybe less than a dollar each...my willpower shrinks to nothing. So I've tested...a lot. Maybe too much. Yeah, negative. I think. Not sure.
