Happy Childless Awareness Day!

"Childless Awareness Day" present to you, I give you the gift of "the upside". The Upside of Infertility.


You're welcome.

Today, you...

...don't have to clean up poop that your two year old has smeared all over the walls.

...can sleep in without some dirty child jumping on your face at 5:30 am.

...can drink heavily. Repeatedly. All day long. Without that nasty stigma of being an "alcoholic parent". You can just be a regular ol' alcoholic.

...you can watch an X-rated movie. On the big TV in the living room (Adam's contribution). Adam also suggests you can watch a bloody horror movie.

...smoke crack without worrying you're being a bad influence on the next generation. We've all seen that commercial... "From you, alright! I learned it from watching you!"

...can leave the house without Child Protective Service getting called on you for leaving your children unattended (way worse than having neighbors complain about your barking dogs all day, or so I've been told).

...can have sex anywhere in the house you'd like (another Adam contribution). Or just lounge around naked.

...spend the money that would have gone to a Mother's Day present on something much more practical and useful over the long term.... like Uni-Corn Corn holders. Awesome.



So ladies, what things will you enjoy today about being childless? Happy Childless Awareness Day!"

****Found this post on Busted Plumbing****** Thank you Kate!

I had decided to not post anything on Mothers day due to the fact that it would be bitter, depressed rantings. However my mother's day wasn't that bad....

I started out Sat by having all my nieces and nephew and going to an open-house BBQ at the local hardware store-the kids picked out flowers for their mom's that we later planted in baskets for my sis and sis in law. So I a great Auntie day! I also got to spend time with my mom, and that was great-we don't get to have very much mother-daughter time.
Sunday I slept in and then took advantage of the sunshine and worked outside, lounged on the trampoline and got a nice sunburn. Tim cooked me a nice brunch and then went to pick up the step-kids. D & F surprised me by bringing home flowers (later found out that D bought them herself), I didn't know what to say but Thank you. I know this has been hard on them, and they only see me as hurt and upset-they really don't know what is going on month to month. The feelings of loss and failure. So my mom's day turned out better than last year-Thank you God!
