Some things on my mind today. You may or may not agree or like them. But then…this is my blog, right? 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? 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? Didn’t you write the words you were singing? Good lookin out on the self-respect tip, ladies.
- The debate on using the word fertility or infertility is really confusing sometimes. 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. 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”. and that bothers me a bit.
