Beyond Random…

Today I had an appointment with my “lady” doctor. The doctor I have seen far too many times this last year. In the waiting area this woman was checking in at the same time as me, apparently she was there for her first visit after finding out she was pregnant. The receptionist eagerly congratulated her as she collected the woman’s co pay. The woman didn’t miss a beat in turning the joy into major awkwardness as she announced she wasn’t happy about it. She said “never say you are done until something is cut or tied!” and then laughed in a way that made my heart sink a little. Turns out she has five kids at home and obviously was surprised by the last. Since we were elbow to elbow at the counter I commented…”Wow, so this will be your sixth!!” I thought it was exciting. All she could talk about was the cutting and tying and so as they called my name I said “you know I really think you are very lucky!” smiled and walked away. I have been thinking of that woman all day. I think I would be freaked too if #6 was brewing, but I hope she finds the joy and stops talking about the snips and ties.

I am disturbed by this yet find myself oddly fascinated at the same time.

I am a TV watcher. I have my few (few might be too small of a reference;) shows that I enjoy. Has anyone else noticed a trend in some of the shows lately? What the hell is going on!?!?! Is it lets be depressing month? Is there some sort of writer's competition going on to see who can have the most dejected show??? Gray’s?? Private Practice??? Brothers & Sisters???What the hell is wrong with you guys??? I understand $hit happens in life, I understand we aren’t always supposed to be “happy” but you are all pushing the limit. It has been weeks now and I don’t know how much more I can take. Could someone smile please? Is that too much to ask?

On another note, with each piece of paperwork we complete for our home study I get giddier and giddier. Strangely enough the paperwork is making me smile.
