Some things on my mind today. Â You may or may not agree or like them. Â But then…this is my blog, right? Â Right.
My list:
- My Husband turned 30 this week. (Happy Birthday Dude!)…and with that birthday went any possibility of his being a dad “in his 20’s”.
- I’m sure that in the top 12 thoughts of all people who discover their infertility, is the phrase: “And to think of all the money I spent on condoms!”
- How is it that when I visit the gynecologist, I see TONS of pictures of contraceptive options…but apparently NO celebrities see these signs at theirs? Â Congrats on the baby, Lauryn.
- Why come (yes I said why-come) all the soul singers who talked about women’s worth, being the queen, and cyphers and earths and whatnot…all turned out to be the baby mama’s they were teaching against? Â Didn’t you write the words you were singing? Â Good lookin out on the self-respect tip, ladies.
- The debate on using the word fertility or infertility is really confusing sometimes. Â As is the one between Childless and Childfree.
- I tried all night to believe that Thereasa Erickson was framed, and just really trying to help families have babies…but the truth is the truth,…and I guess greed is greed.
- I hope this new Disney movie doesn’t piss me off…or worse yet…make me sob uncontrollably in the theater.
- My goddaughter has been with her mother the past few weeks…and hasn’t even called me to say “Hi.”, thus further proving how low I am on her totem. Â Funny how kids always cling to the sometimes-y parent and diss the one who’s always there.
- With every basket of laundry I fail to put away, and every dish I leave unwashed, and every bill that tumbles its way towards collections, I doubt my ability to ever become a responsible adult…let alone a parent.
- With every bill he catches, every walk of the dog, and every bag of laundry he washes, I realize how much of a responsible husband, and parent my dude is and could be.  Damn overachiever.
- Isn’t it amazing how before you knew about infertility, you were oblivious to how many times a day people’s parenting, sexuality, and fertility are called into question?
- My birthday is in two months…and with it will come the end of any hopes of my becoming a mother “in my 20’s”. Â and that bothers me a bit.
