Hang in there, Mom-to-be. You deserve to be PROUD of yourself for not choosing to poison your baby with cigarettes. I saw a group of pregnant women standing around a garbage/ashtray can at the mall and smoking and talking about how mean people were to them, when I went to the mall today. I almost stopped dead in my tracks and stared -- heck, I almost said something even! -- but decided to mind my own business. You go, Girl!
I'm so sorry that you and your mother are going through this.
Delightful post! I visited your blog because you are on the friends lists of a number of bloggers I like, and now I can see why. If you don't mind, I'll add you as my friend, too.
Way to go, Holly. I hope there will never be any nasty debates here on MyBloggers as there sometimes were on Blogster. When I was a philosophy major we called such nonsense "ad hominem" arguments, and they were considered fallacious. I'm glad the fences have been mended.
Congratulations on over a month of sobriety, Chris. I feel very happy for you. I hope you're proud of yourself!
Dear Annie, I'm thinking of you and saying a prayer that your pain will decrease. There's not a married woman alive who hasn't at times though to herself, "I've got an American Express card and a full tank of gas, and I could be Outtahere!" The feeling usually passes after a while, especially if the husband is basically a good guy. Caregiving does not come naturally to men in our culture, as it does to women. Most husbands are doing the best they can, and they mean well.
liked it, wish more people would post original creative writing.
So very happy you've joined mybloggers.com so that we can add another layer of communication. I learned some very interesting things from your previous blogs. You're still me favorite husband. Only 33 more days.
I had a boss once whose sister's response to stupid questions was, "What are you, stupid?" We used to tease her about it and imitate her.
It was a family-owned business with a pancake structure, and everyone got along together. Then the business succeeded, went public, inserted several layers of management, and started to become weighed down by bureaucratic bs and idiot supervisors. That's when I resigned, saying thast after four years I could no longer handle the commute up 101 every day. The truth was, I missed the old days when the CEO-founder himself hired me, and I reported to his sister-in-law. She was a brilliant engineer and businesswoman, and one of my most beloved mentors. Great times during the dot.com boom. At one point both my husband and I were in start-ups.
Took me a minute, too, but then I laughed. Poor kitty!
Thank you so much for posting this, it made me laugh out loud. Just delightful.
Good post. This is no longer the world I grew up believing in.
Thanks for posting, this made me laugh out loud.
Glad to hear DH is alright. My own DH has had open heart surgery, and takes a heart pill every day. I'm always reminding him to eat something healthy, and he's started having yogurt with live cultures almost every day. When one's DH gets dizzy and light-headed, it gets a little scary.
