The things I make I feel others accept with a note of "ohhh that's nice, let's put that on the fridge." I realize this has more to do with me than anyone else, but the thought of this projected onto our future baby has been slapped up into my face today. And I AM MAD ABOUT IT.
Sure, Omaha Fashion Week was a bust--this year. And the job was, too--for now. But these things will be around when I'm ready to blast faces off with fashion and art. And I'm not ready for that.
I am so ready for our baby however, that my insides ache.
I said I realized lots of things over the weekend yesterday, and one of them I realized Sunday morning before I was even awake, a full day before the doctor would even call: I was making busywork for myself by applying to OFW and that job position instead of going after the baby I really wanted. I was trying to distract myself from the pain of it not possibly working out, to fill up the space in time the future might not allow a baby to fill.
And then I decided even if I wasn't healthy enough quite yet, that we would still try before undergoing another surgery or treatment that might leave me infertile. I surrendered Sunday. Then Monday I was cleared as healthy anyway, which I think means it's time.
So today at work when I shared this with the person who used to be my supervisor, it shocked me to hear him say "Sometimes we just tell ourselves something to make it okay."
Yes, it is SO simple to decide to have a baby that when I don't get a job I want to just throw the towel in and strap on the mommy pants!
Yes, I have been going to Dr. HappyFunTime (AKA the gyno) for the last 8 months to get healthy just for fun!
Yes, I know I've been talking about finally deciding to have a baby for only 6 months, but now that any opportunity I tried for this month has turned me down, I will tell myself it's okay by getting knocked up!
So I'm mad.
Earth, prepare for one real-talking, take-no-shit, matter-of-fact Offbeat Mama.
Stumble it!

Wow, that is incredibly rude. I'm so sorry and can't believe anyone would say that. I would be furious, too. Don't let others drag you down, Hill. You know what's in your heart, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, even though it hurts. Some people think they know everything and take pride in dragging others down. People like that usually have serious insecurities and issues in their own lives. Rock on, bad ass!
Ohh why did he said that...Its rude! I agree with Heather, don't let comments like that drag you down. You know what you want and what will make you happy - That's what matters. Muah, sweetie
@Heather, thank you. Rock on I will.
@Diana, thank you. Muah.
Wow, I mean wow. Just because HE lives his life that way...
I am mad on your behalf! Just ignore people like him. Only you control your life and how you live it!
@Morgan, right?! Well thank you for sharing in this and for the support!
