Conversations

In the last year or so of kidmaking (ahem, better terminology than "TTC" or "babymaking"), I've realized who I can go to when I'm having a meltdown kind of day. Mostly it's been friends who have gone through something similar or who have kids and realize how awesome/priceless it is. Or they are just good/compassionate friends and know how to listen.

ANYWAY, yay for awesome friends...now I want to complain:

When someone tells you they know exactly how you feel regarding your past history of kidmaking, there is a fair chance that they do know. For example, I know I can call my friend B on a bad day and just sob and sob and share all these terrible emotions and she'll be like "yeah, that's totally normal and yeah, it sucks".

But when my friend tells me that she knows exactly how I felt during my terrible ultrasound because she went through a similar thing (but not at all similar), I kind of want to shout "no, you have NO idea how I feel now or how I felt that day or that week. You have a toddler and another healthy one on the way". But I don't because I don't feel like getting into it. But no, you really don't know what I'm going through or how I feel.

Oh hello Ms Blog - are you here for my venting pleasure? Why thank you. Also, I just deleted a TON of this post because it was too detailed. Am I editing my blog already?

Oh also I came up with this theory recently (and I've already shared it with two of my fantastic five readers): just because an emotion is irrational doesn't mean it's not REAL. You could be sitting over there crying about your hangnail...if it makes you sad, then IT IS SAD.

Also, my five readers are 3 women and 2 men - let's be honest, the men aren't reading it. M because he has already forgotten the site name and A because he's getting all of his calories from an IV right now. So really I should stop saying that I have five readers; it's really three.

Piig Flue

I'm not going to do any links on this blog (whaaaat? I'm creeped out by being "found") but I'm sure that my FIVE friends know about this anyway - Heidi and Spencer are FULL OUT RIDICULOUS.

Things that are currently pissing me off:
- her inability to spell "flu"; HONESTLY?
- their marriage in general (which is terrible to say because I usually love love)
- the fact that they are wearing face masks on a beach
- the fact that people think those masks will prevent flu transmission - N95 respirators, folks! That and handwashing! PURELL!!!!

Things that should piss off you guys:
- I use caps a lot when I'm pissed/excited/bored/appalled/name that emotion.

Should I start putting labels on these posts? I don't even know how this works.

Planting and Blog Stalking

First of all, I just did a bunch of planting. This is going to be the summer of homegrown vegetables!! Well, I hope so at least...I started off small last year with basil and mint and I'm hoping to branch out into real food this year.

I bought basil, mint and scallion plants and replanted them in a windowsill planter. I also planted tomato (cherry, marzano and green from KLG), orange pepper (from KLG) and zucc (I bought some seeds) in peat pots. I didn't wet the pots first (dumb) and I used last year's soil. I hope it's ok.
M just told me it's going to be mid30s tonight so I'm going to bring them in now.

Second, I found out today that you can track your blog visitors (usually by town but even IP address). I'm not at that point (ahem, see previously mentioned five people who know about this blog) but it makes me nervous for all the stalking that I do.

Adam

My friend Adam (one of the five people who know about this blog) had surgery yesterday. I haven't heard from him since (well, duh, he had surgery yesterday) but I am hoping that everything went well. 

And I kind of think that as soon as he is feeling better, he'll be updating his own blog. :)
