Laugh For The Day

This totally cracks me up…

…that’s all.

One Week Later…

So, today marks one week from the dreaded event.  I am doing great!  Should I be?  Who knows.  But I am, nonetheless.

I have done soooo much thinking and planning and talking with people that it’s like I’m actually a part of the real world again.  It’s kind of nice.  You know, I don’t really like the real world, but I need it.

I realized that after coming back to work on Tuesday, I needed that 4 days to deal with things…most importantly, myself.  And, boy, do I HATE dealing with myself.  I’m difficult, hard-headed, indecisive and worst of all, hard on myself.  It was awkward to come back.  Knowing that people all around you are thinking of you and silently feeling sorry for you (or not…because some of them HATE me) is a little uncomfortable.  One guy came to me as I was typing and patted me on the back and said, “I don’t know what to say, so I’m just going to pat you.”  And that was one of the best non-hug responses I got. 

Others have really struggled with what to say.  My dear friend Meg said in an email, “Remember, it’s more awkward for them than it is for you.”  And, geez, she was right!  I have heard many inspirational stories of women who have miscarried and have gone on to have healthy pregnancies.  I am simply AMAZED at the amount of support I have behind me.  I feel very lucky to have such awesome friends and family.

I am also amazed that my old but new-found MySpace friends have been so supportive.  I joined MySpace on August 14th and then frantically began searching for old friends.  I just felt I needed to find them.  Approximately 4 hours later, I found out I was pregnant.  (Cue Twilight Zone music.)  So very strange.  I needed those people whether I want to admit it or not.

So, to everyone, Thank You for your support and kind words and HUGS!  You have all been wonderfully helpful and understanding.  Peace out…
