that way you don't have to TELL me I'm wrong because we already know that, right?
Okay, so say you run into someone you haven't seen in a very long time, or just found on facebook and you want to play "catch up". That's understandable. But I don't get why we practically have it tatooed on our foreheads, or that it's the first effing thing we write: "I'm married/divorced/still single with no kids/1/2/3/4/5 kids."
It feels like it's some kind of sick contest (said the married for 14 years momma of 4 kids. HAHAHAHHA!).
No, I mean, I usually don't good answering that question no matter what. Part of me might feel sensitive because I don't know anyone else's struggles and face it: sometimes trying to have a baby is hell. So blurting out "I have four kids" sucks, and I want to say "after 3 horrible miscarriages and almost giving up, we finally had children. Four of them. I'm sorry if it's been hard for you." Or "I'm married to the same dreamboat for 14 years now. Every day is bliss. Oh, you're divorced? Too bad that didn't work out. " you know? It all sucks. "Oh, you're at 10 years and 3 kids? *sigh* we're only at 5 years and 1 kid." Who the fuck cares? Me being married and having children is part of my life, but it's not ME. It's not my sole function in LIFE. Of course, I get that that stuff is going to come up. Of course it is. I understand, but I don't get the "Hey! How's it going? Me? Well, I'm a model with 3 kids and I've been married for 7 years. Beat that." or whatever.
Do you think my PMS is kicking in? heheheheheheheh
While I'm at it, should I out loud hate people who post a million pictures of themselves on facebook? Or righteous people who think they know the only way "to go"? Or self absorbed people who can't take a second out of their VERY IMPORTANT JOBS and lives to say hi and bother checking in with anyone else other than themselves?
I'm making vegetable quesadillas. I've got the veggies, I've got the garlic, but I also have a buttload of new herbs and spices. I will have to wing it. Maybe some thyme, little cumin...oregano. Wish me luck. This time I have to eat what I make.
Afterall, it's my anniversary. :)
ouch
ReplyDeleteJLA..I had to re read the post to see why you would ouch on it. I was NOT referring to you about the veggie stuff. I'm not a total tard, I can figure stuff out on my own, funny girl. Just thought you might have a favorite recipe to share, no big deal!!!! XO If you want to know, I had an urgent message from someone I used to work with, but it's one of those things- I have to be available on HER TIME ONLY because she's the one "at work"---and it sometimes gets old. Don't cry HELP ME and then say "when I have time". What the hell? What if *I* need someone now and then? HA, that's what my blog is for, right. ha
