I publicly apologize to my adoring, supportive, and effing sexy husband who's head I bit off last night when he called me to just check on my day... He didn't deserve it one bit and if it's any consolation Paul, I felt like the biggest asshole last night and swore to myself that I’d try to be better, again :(.
So the cause of my grumpiness… (I’m affectionately referred to as ‘grumpasaurus’ amongst my immediate family because of such outbursts)… being prego of course, that goes with out saying… not enough sleep and a shitty internet connection. The room I’m staying in at my parents faces east and gets direct sunlight starting at about 6am which wakes me up and no matter what I do I cannot go back to sleep. Five more days of this… can I survive??? Or can those around me survive, is a better question. That and a crappy internet connection while I’m logged in to two different client’s networks via extranet/Citrix gateways while trying to update code and get applications to run as services makes for a testy Michelle. I worked a good twelve hour day yesterday battling often dropped and generally slow connections and by 7pm was ready to heave my laptop over the fence and apply for a job at Walmart. My parents live on a hill above Culver City which is not exactly a dead zone… but a very flakey one. My work cell phone only gets service if I pace up and down the very back of their yard… This makes for an interesting and challenging work environment to say the least. Today is a better day… been connected since 7am this morning w/o being dropped once with decent connection speeds. I probably should do some internet connection rain dance to keep the ISP provider gods at bay… Off to see my sister this afternoon. I gave her the link to my blog w/o telling her the prego news. She sent me an email after reading it containing one line: “what the #$%^ are you serious?”… Lots of support and encouragement there…Let’s see what she has to say when we’re face to face. And did I mention that when I told my mom I was writing the blog and should I sent her the link… that she basically said she wasn’t interested… What’s up with the women in my family? I’m beginning to think that they don’t think this is a good idea… I really appreciate the kind comments from you guys I’ve received since I broke the news. Ciao for now.

Yeah unfortunately our family often disappoint us when we need them most. But that's why you have FRIENDS -- we love you no matter what! I have totally given up on most of the women in my family...totally sucks but whadaya gonna do?
ReplyDeleteHang in there, the hormones are a bitch but you're heading into month 4 so it should all get better soon (mood wise at least!)
Hey woman! I remember you telling me you were able to chill out and really enjoy the awesome idea of being prego. I'm hoping you can find that place again, because what you and Pauly have going right now is really just awesome. It was encouraging to me when you said that....gave me something to work towards.....and it actually helped me get out of the hairy moments and back to feeling "human". So...."back attcha!" :) As for the family thing, that's what family does to one another, unfortunately. I think sometimes they care so much that it's hard to be "ok" when they disagree with choices we make for ourselves. If they didn't care, it'd be so easy to just say "cool" and nod their heads. Maybe I'm naive, but that's how I look at it! Saves me some stress!
