12-8-2008 - now that I have something you want you'll talk to me

My mood while writing this blog: besieged

my parents first grandbaby + his parents first grandbaby + 17 weeks along = one overwhelmed, overemotional girl.

“All the women who independent – throw your hands up at me”

I have been on my own for nine years. My own bills, my own laundry, my own furniture, my own. I handle my own – and I think I do a pretty damn good job. I put myself through college, graduated with a Bachelor’s, while I worked full time…I paid to go through massage therapy classes and became certified. I bought my car. I cook my dinners. I furnished my own apartment - with a few hand-me-downs from Dad – but mostly all bought new. My cats have been around for seven years, so I must be doing something right there. I am proud of myself. I AM PROUD OF MYSELF!

But now….now I’m pregnant and I have a mom on each shoulder. Annoying. If none of you have experienced this yet, smile.

“tell me some names you are considering?” “secretly, what do you really want?” “are you eating enough fruits & veggies?” “make sure you exercise, it’ll make labor easier” “have you thought about what color you are doing in your nursery” “ you better start registering for baby stuff” “have you felt it move yet?” “what are you craving?” “what makes you sick?” “are you and jake getting married?” ….etc….

Since when did everyone get so involved in my life?!

PS: I just spent the weekend visiting family, mine and Jake’s, we haven’t had a day to ourselves yet.
