Blogloose and Childfree
There are no children in my house right now. I have not plopped anyone in front of the Square Idol (TV) so that I can write in relative peace (marred by the guilt of course). Today my husband and I both sit, all by ourselves, at our dining room table, The Choir CD filling the space around us (so far I'm not missing the Madascar soundtrack even one little bit). My husband is trying to pay months' worth of bills with nowhere near enough money and I'm trying to keep from eating leftover pecan pie or think of jelly donuts. A blog referring to Lotus Birth (google Lotus Birth for excruciating details) has decreased my appetite only the slightest bit. I have a great respect for placentas actually (again- see formerly mentioned web site for illumination)since my first baby was stillborn due to problems with the placenta. I can't really grow a good placenta which is rather vital to growing a live baby. I make placentas full of blood clots, tiny placentas. 3 injections a day and a couple months of bed rest finally resulted in 2 placentas healthy enough to sustain my two wild little boys. I've always though it ironic that I would have trouble feeding my babies before they were even born since feeding people is what I've always done best. If food is love than I am the Queen of it. Anyway, I don't know how I got there- I guess thinking of placentas and lotus birth. Hmmm. That blog was an eye-opening start to the day.
Today's miracle is my friend Maureen who has graciously taken my boys so that I can relax today. I don't remember the last time my husband and I were alone in our house together during daylight hours- think it might have been years. It's kind of sad about the bills though- you know how it is with marriage and money- it's what we mostly fight about. I am going to make it through this whole day without sugar or fighting about money. That would be miracle enough for any day.
