I don't. However, a personal conviction i have had to NOT indulge myself in a
ridiculous pity party has reiterated itself to me. what is it, you ask? Ok, twist my arm.
Here goes nothing; four years ago I had to hVE hysterectomy due to severe
endometriosis. BLAH. TRIPLE BLAH, as I was raised in a amazing family and have
my original birth parents, which is quite unusual these days! I digress; for as long as I can
remember 5 have wanted to be a mom. I wanted to have that family like the one I was
raised in from birth to my {cough cough } 37 yrs of age. A close Italian/Irish family
that I grew up in.
We weren't rich by any means; that simply didnt matter. We had an over abundance
of love and joy. Our house was the halfway house for my 3 bothers and I friends.
The holidays were open door policies as were Birthdays and any time friends wanted
to hang. Needless to say, this is the family of my own I desired since I was 10 yrs.
I badly wanted to make my house a safe haven for troubled friends of my children.
I wanted 2-3 boys. I had it all planned out, names included.... though I suppose, as
they say, "the best laid plans...."
I have repressed all these feelings for the last 4 years because, being raised
with 43 bothers you learn to not be a baby. However, this year on mothers day something
happened.... a breakdown.... yes, ours truly lost it! I wont fill you in on the pathetic details,
or the way i tried to deal with the horrid pain. I know people mean well when they say
" you can always adopt...." ya, not so much. at this point we have just enough money to
to survive. And we are so behind on bills as I have been out of work for the last 9 mos
, just beginning a new job 1 and a half weeks ago. Not to mention I am 37 and a half
yrs old and have looked into those requirements, they dont let you adopt once you
turn 40! UGH!!!!! Blah blah blah ; poor pity party me!!!! WHATEVER!!!
I have SO much to be thankful for! I have an AMAZING family; couldn't
survive w/out them! Not to mention my INCREDIBLE, TOLERANT husband and my fabulous
understanding in-laws {whom i absolutely ADORE!!!!} my long winded point is I know
that I have absolutely NO reason or justification to have a pity party for myself!!!
So this is me saying no more letting me get this down and depressed. Be thankful for all
the support I have and repress the rest for another 4 or 5 years! Hey, it worked GREAT
for the past 4!!! I have all men in my life so they dont wanna hear this wussy B.S.!
There are soooo many people w/REAL problems; my best friend of 20 years topping the list
as she has a terminal disease known as Wegners Granulomatosis. She is on oral steroids.
not to mention she has 3 most beautiful children ages 5, 12 ad 17. AND her husband had been
having an affair on her for the last 4 yrs and they FINALLY separated 1 yr ago with the
divorce pending....{ it's complicated....} . Sheeewww, ok, I am furious about all these issues so I
will wrap it up.
It's a Mad World. No more pity party time for me, I PROMISE!!!! { At least not for
another 4 years!!!} Repression is the answer, I don't care what anyone else says!
So thats that! Hope all for of you enjoyed my totally upbeat post... hahaha; sarcasm
much?! Hope you are all doing well.... hug someone you love { and give 'em an x-tra
hug from the CRAZY BLOG LADY!!!!
Until Niagra Falls
Yours Sincerely and Truly
Just me; Superchance OUT!
