but I have nothing to cry about, it must be re-starting the birth control pills - who knows. I'm sure the crappy summer weather we've had in Michigan isn't helping. Yesterday we finally had a nice day, but it was a work-day so who cares. Today is a cold, rainy day - par for the course this June in Michigan. Plus the Red Wings lost game 7 last night. Ugh. It should have never gone to game 7, but it did and they lost.
Last night I went to Flamingo Friday which is a summer-time neighborhood get- together that alternates houses (backyards) every Friday in our sub. It was fun, but I offended the hostess apparently - the party had been going on for at least 45 minutes and I made what I thought was a cute, funny comment to her "you're working too hard, have some fun", and I was smiling as I said it....but she looked at me with a snarl like I had horns growing out of my head. I said something to my friendly neighbor Becky and apparently this other woman is a bit high-strung. Well I guess so jeez! Oh well I don't need to become friends with any more Type A high-strung women - I have enough of those thank you. Tony was there initially with me, but then he left to go watch the game with his buddies. At Flamingo Friday however they had this huge blow-up screen in the backyard showing the game - it was awesome.
I enjoyed talking to many of the neighborhood women, some are really nice and totally hilarious, others seem like total snobs. The only thing is that they are all moms, and anytime there is a new couple who arrives who has just moved into the neighborhood they always ask "so which kids are yours?"....because there are 50 kids running around the backyard. Tony handles that question so well, he just says "none yet we're enjoying our freedom"....but sometimes it just gets to me. I want to be social and go to these events because I enjoy talking to many of the ladies (and guys too), but our subdivision is just sooooooo kid friendly. I think we are one of only a couple of houses that don't have kids.
Oh and I also found out that my friend Christian is no longer in remission from his sinus cancer. In fact he's been out of remission for at least 6 months, but he hadn't told me. He is not doing chemo, but fighting it with an extreme all natural, organic diet - with coffee enemas daily, and green juicing all day long. It really does make sense what he is doing - but I guess it's really time consuming to eat like that.
Okay that's all, I have to get in the shower and get on my day. Breakfast with a girlfriend this morning and then off to Port Huron to Backyard Soaps and then to a graduation party.

It's hard when those hormones make us feel different then we normally would. I'm still feeling the backlash of my last cycle. It sucks.
I worry about living in a neighborhood with lots of kids in the future. It sucks you have to deal with those kinds of questions, but I think your hubby has the right evasive tactic.
It's been really gloomy here as well, it really does make it hard when you can't see the sun.
Thinking of you.
I used to always feel like an outsider with women, and oddly enough I still do...I felt pissed the other day when someone announced they were 6 weeks pregnant.
I feel like this is going to work for your two. I think about you all quite a bit.
I just started birth control pills Monday and they're making me so crazy. I've never noticed it before but I have this time! Sometimes it helps just to sit down and have a good cry.
I understand about the kids thing. EVERYONE in the military has kids--and a lot of them have them very young--and I got really tired of meeting new people only to have them ask me if we had kids. It's even worse now because I don't want to be Debbie Downer with my answer but I feel so guilty if I don't mention Sarah.
It sounds like your day was busy; hope it was good!
