I filled what is likely my last pack of bc for a very long time. 92 days worth, which is probably enough to get me up to my surgery. I seriously felt like I was going to vomit when I realized that.

The Canadian government has the best ads ever. (see siggy) If you google the slogan you can find a whole bunch more.

I have no idea why I am at work today, except for to ferry some papers into our overnight mail.

I'm afraid to complete the files on my desk because the less work I have, the less I'm able to fake I'm busy...

I had snickers and twix for lunch.

I also confess that on days like today, I miss SW2B and her silly little comments. Sometimes all it takes is a little dramatic entertainment to make a boring day fly by!

My "friend" is likely going to find out about my pregnancy through a third party or Facebook. I know she's going to be pissed that I didn't call her myself, but I don't really care. She's been awful to me and has no clue what the word "friendship" means.

I really really hate our health care system. It would have cost us less to have Phoenix if we hadn't been married, and I didnt have health insurance, and that really angers me. I feel like I am being penalized for trying to be responsible, while those who are not in a good financial position, unmarried, and had "accidental" pregnancies are given a free ride. We now have 18 months to pay over $8000. To make it worse, I can't even think about her birth without wanting to cry, not out of joy but of anger because they used a general anethesia for the c-sec, so both H and I missed her birth...after 36 hours of labor and $8,000, I feel like I deserved to be there.

the only thing harder than knowing a pregnant woman will have her baby taken by social services is hearing her say "that's ok, you can have it, I don't want it anyway."

Makes me violent. Makes me forget everything clinical I know and resort to my instincts. But I know I'll lose me job if I say and/or do what I really want to.

I feel this way about a lot of things, but most specifically, about the fact that I'm paying back 25k in student loans because I finished school BEFORE I got married and had a baby, whereas if I were a single mother, I could've gotten a free ride, along with free childcare and housing assistance, ala my co-worker's slacker ass daughter. I know a lot of people would say "oh, but she has a baby, so it's harder for her." Um, not when CW takes care of her granddaughter every evening and weekend so her daughter can go out and party.

The majority of our tax refund just went to paying off the mucho grande CC bill that I racked up over Christmas. I just didn't pay very good attention to what I was spending. I feel really bad about it.

This makes me stabby.

My boss had major back surgery and has been out of the office for the last 2 weeks, hence my recent activity here. Although it's been boring, it's been super relaxing. I hope she doesn't push herself too much & come back soon. It's nice and quiet here. The best part of it is she'll only be back for 2 mths anyway b/c she will be gone from June until Sept too. Can she just not come back at all and just pay me to be on the internet and Nest all day?

Yes This is most excellent!

I don't even want to go to our birthing class tonight because I feel like it's a huge waste of time if I'm just going to have to have a c-section anyways. <---This is dumb because it's not how I really feel. I do think that baby will turn and we'll have our fabulous natural birth that we've been working hard towards and therefore I should go to class. I also feel grateful that this is the biggest of my worries and I feel like a biotch complaining about it because it could be so much worse, but that doesn't make it any less scary.

I'm in the same boat. I got a little too excited about the baby and kind of went crazy on a few shopping trips with friends. Not huge amounts but things really add up. I told Jesse tonight and almost cried. I'm so disappointed in myself for being so careless. I feel awful.

I completely agree.

My friend who works full time as a nanny, under the table, makes more than my husband and I combined BUT she gets free health insurance, etc because TECHNICALLY she doesn't make any money.

It's ridiculous. I can't wait to get out of school and hopefully, change some of our ridiculous laws and regs. :-(

I'm sorry. :-(

I've dealt with that before and I am sorry.

However, I take solace in the fact that if a parent is saying that, the baby has to be better off in the system rather than with a parent who actually goes around saying that.

I'm sorry you're dealing with that. :-(

wow, kind of weird to agree with you, but I do. I know that baby is better off in the system, he actually will probably be adopted by family (a distant family member who took custody of her first child 8 months ago). But still, hertbreaking to hear those kinds of words come out of a mother's mouth.

Yeah, I wish I could say the same, but you know, taking care of my daughter, trying to keep my job, and making sure we have enough money to pay our mortgage kinda puts a damper on that, but glad you answered my summons all the same! ;D

It is beyond heartbreaking, I couldn't agree more. :-(

I am happy to hear that there is at least some family member willing to step up. It's not often like that. :-( And, at least baby will be with a sibling.

Hopefully, this particular woman will start using birth control and not put you (not to mention everyone else) through this again.

In all seriousness, our many differences aside, if you ever need someone to talk about these things with, I am here.

Good luck and stay strong! :-)
