Not quite as pathetic anymore

March 12th, 2009

Thank you all for the sympathetic comments. I wallowed in them for a full 24 hours. I’m fine now, so you can go back to your lurking/smart ass comments.

I still don’t know anything about The Stones Situation. The sonographer called in sick on Wednesday, so bad luck for me. The dr is sending me for an abdominal and pelvic sono tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully that will yield some news. Some GOOD news. Not “omgIhavecancerandI’mgonnadie” news.

In a weird turn of events, my OB removed my Mirena IUD on Wednesday. He knew I was going to come back for the removal in a month or two and he said he’d just do it then and save me a trip and a co-pay. So, meanwhile I’m fertile. Or, I’m going to be soon. My husband is doing his best to make sure that his fertile parts stay FAR, FAR away from my fertile parts. Apparently, Maddie has killed his desire for a second child, too.  I’m pretty sure he’s willing to move into his own place just to avoid “accidentally” impregnating me.

My car is at the car-fixer-place and I’ve got a rental. My insurance company only pays $25 a day on the rental and I’m cheap and I won’t pay extra for a nicer car. This means that I went from my pimpmobile with heated leather seats and power everything (EVEN THE DOORS ARE POWER!) to a car that’s one horse away from being an Amish buggy. Dude, it’s got roll-down windows. That you have to crank. Like with your arms and shit. Also, the door locks are manual push down things. I’m surprised I don’t have to wind it up to make it go. The upside is that it’s sure to get much better gas mileage than my pimpmobile. The car-fixer-guy says it’ll be at least a week before my car is ready.

There’s also been an improvement on the Maddie vs. Daycare front. Gerald dropped her off on Wednesday and there was no drama whatsoever. It seems Maddie drama queens that shit up for my benefit. Your kids do it to you, too, don’t they? Gah. They’re such little douche bags sometimes, aren’t they?

    You crack me up! Sorry to hear about the possible stones – I hear those are a real pain in the butt. Kinda like two year olds. But at least stones can be removed.

    roll-down windows

    Wha?

    Does it have a RECORD PLAYER for a stereo, too?

    O_o ;P

    Gerald dropping off and you dropping off are probably always going to be two different experiences. As you realize already.

    Kids being dramatic? WHAT? NAH! Kids are so truthful, kids never lie or overreact NO NO NO!

    heh…

    Go watch Bill Cosby’s “Himself” comedy docu again; truer words regarding kids have never been spoken. “But I don’t WANT a cookie!” “Can I have it?” :)

    Glad things sound better, Erica. I’d be snarkier in yer comments, but f**k, I’m tired.

    OH WAIT! One more thing…

    Re; the tying of the tubes. She’s TWO now, maybe wait until she’s three? almost four? Then decide…I don’t think I would have had Ray if Lucy hadn’t evolved out of her twos.

    /just sayin’

    “Fertile parts” is excellent terminology. Hm. My previous favorite was “tenders” (from Kung Fu Panda), but I may have to switch.

    I was thinking the same thing Amber was thinking, only I went to 8 track tape player.

    I hope things go well with the stones.

    Also, I waited 7 years between kids. I think I had sufficiently lost my memory on the terrible twos and that caused me to think I wanted another….Turns out, that worked out better than I thought it would.

    HUGS!

    Make sure you keep a quarter in your pocket – just in case you have to put it in the car to make it go some more. lol That’s awesome.

    Virtual fingers crossed for the sono to give them some answers that make sense.

    And yes, my kids do that too. *sigh*

    peace…

    Well, I hope the news is good today.

    Good luck on keeping Gerald away from your fertile parts. Hugs!

    Love the title. I hope that The Stones leave town soon, so you’re feeling better.

    Also I hope you get your car back quickly! That one sounds like the Flintstones car. Do you have to run with your feet to get it going?

    Good luck with the Maddie drop-off and the fertile parts things too.

    This is hilarious. ROLL-DOWN WINDOWS. Love. Wish I could roll up next to you at a stoplight and make that dramatic “roll down” gesture.
