a big part of me really wishes that people would learn to be more creative...or more sensitive...or just a little bit more understanding. this week i have heard more about the kids i should be having or the pregnancy that should be occurring than i have in a long time. i called the gyn to make an appointment and the lady says "is this for your annual?"...no..."then are you pregnant?"...um no...but thanks for your sensitivity. we were having drinks and apps at a bar tonight and the guy next to us starts to talk to us...he says if we're living in the suburbs we should have kids. and i say "well if it were that easy..." with a smile. then he proceeds to say it like four more times and each time i try to respond nicely. i swear if he had said it one more time, i would have given him my whole freakin story. sheesh! so people, use some creativity when you talk to me next time!
anyway...you know what, since i don't have kids or a pregnancy to think about i was able to go out with my husband tonight and have drinks and sushi and yummy shit. yeah!
this all caps off a rough week when i was really depressed on a couple days. some days it just hits and there's nothing i can do to help it lift. eventually it does go away, but when it's here it sucks. i realized that at this point i'm more afraid that i won't be able to take care of kids than i am about actually getting pregnant. i'm just afraid that i'm not healthy enough. sobering thought...
off to watch some trashy tv and cheer myself up! oh here's a pic to cheer the rest of you up...the kitties like my linen closet, so if you ever stay here and use a towel now you know where the black fur comes from :)
That picture is adorable.
ReplyDeleteGranted, that guys sucked, but we need to work on some creative ways to address people like that too...for example, "we moved to the suburbs to have peace and quiet, not kids." Or "yeah, but then I'd have to give up my crack addiction" Something like that always stops them dead in their tracks!!!
