This debate really burns my ass. I feel strongly about it, how can people be so close minded about the way a child is conceived?
I, for one, fall into the unnatural catagory. Some idiots say that because I had to use infertility drugs to conceive my children, that they are fake, unnatural children. What the fuck is wrong with the world? My children are as real as yours!!! I just needed help to conceive them. My children did not come out of a test tube, they aren't aliens, or robots. It's not my fault my body doesn't ovulate on it's own. You think I wanted to go through life knowing that my body is lame.
Everyone gets dealt a shitty hand in life, some people it's money issues, some people it's disease, for us, it's infertility. I do know that I have children, I consider myself blessed everyday. I love my boys with all my heart. There are some out there that will never have a child, and for that I am sad. It seems like the stupidest people have it the easiest. The ones who should not be able to reproduce, reproduce like bunnies.
I will leave it at that.

H-O-L-I-D-A-Y-S
H- Holyshit. how much money did you say I just spent?.. We all know how this feels. Don't lie! I know you do. Holidays creep up, and suddenly you're at your store of choice shopping and you get to the register, only to find out in the end that, holyfuck, are you sure you rung everything up correctly? You want me to pay how much for how many jellybeans?
O- Over eating. I do it, you do it, everyone does it because all the cool kids are doing it. The lovely 15-20lbs you pack on during the holidays. It's all the goodies, goodies at the devils reincarnate. Cookies, cheesecake, pie, mmmm pie. I wonder why I can't lose weight. There my friends is the anwser.
L- Love. Love, peace and Turkey grease. The holidays are suppose to be about family, getting together, enjoying each others company. It definitely has turned into a merchandisers dream. I still love my family, we still get together and have a great time.
I- Ice. Along with the holidays comes winter, and along with winter comes ices. On the roads, on your car windshield. It comes from freezing fog that causes 2 inches of ice of the roads. YUCK! Whenever it is icy here in good old Oregon, the whole state has a big giant outbreak of idiot-itis and you'd think we were all 15 year old learning how to drive. Oh hell, what am I kidding. It's all the california transplants that have never driven on ice in their lives.
D- Daylight savings. I HATE DLST. It gets dark at 5o'lock and light at 6am. Oye I am half tempted to move to the part of Arizona where DLS does not exist. I think they should terminate this stupid time change and just leave people be. Honk if you agree with me??!!?!?!
A- Appreciation. I apprecaite my family, my friends, and a whole plethera of other things. Isn't the holidays all about being thankful and appreciative of what you have? It definitely gets blown out of proportion. What can we expect with our spoiled society though? This is what people have made of what was suppose to be a time to be thankful of what you have and not of what you want. Ever heard that saying, "wish in one hand, and shit in the other, see which one fills up first?" I've heard this many a times in my life. BE THANKFUL OF WHAT YOU HAVE PEOPLE, BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE NOTHING!
Y- Years end. The holidays mean it's almost time to begin a new year. Start fresh, reflect on the lasts years accomplishments, or maybe failures. It's time to learn from our mistakes. It's time to make the New Years Resolutions that most of us won't resolve. I don't think I have ever followed thru on a NYR. I suppose to I should make a realistic goal. Baby steps, people, baby steps.
S- Sacrafice. Go sacrafice your unborn child! Not really, but we should be compromising and sacraficing. Say you want to go on a trip. Promise not to hit the starbucks drive thru for 6 months and see where that gets you? The average drink is about 4 for a venti. If you multiply that by 30 than by 6. That equals $720. That's a pretty decent start to an awesome vacay. Just imagine that most of us are doing this as couples. That's over $1400.00 in 6 months. Hello awesome summer vacation?
So, that's my take on the holidays. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and a great start to the new year!

Embarrassment
Most days, I am embarrassed by the way my life is unfolding. It is horrible, and it does get to the point where I don't want to tell people where I am living, in fear of judgement. I should not care about what people think of me, but I do. I care way to much. It shouldn't bother me, but it does. We are doing what is best for us. To make sure that a roof stays over our head and that we aren't living on the streets. I won't lie, money is tight. We are getting by, some months, just barely, but we're there.
