The Wheels on This Fun Bus Go Round and Round
When is it going to stop? How do I get out of this attack on my desires that comes at me from every side?
My friend had her baby this weekend. I'm very happy for her. Now she has the piece to make her little family complete: The daddy, the mommy, the bright, inquisitive five-year-old, and the newborn.
And I did good. I really am happy for my friend and her family. The baby is adorable and I'm glad that I get to be part of the whole thing.
Then I spent some time with another friend and her family. Which included her sister, who just got married and has two kids, one 14 months and one six weeks old. I played with the little ones and really enjoyed just being around the darlings.
And I did good again. Okay, so I spent the entire day yesterday playing with babies that did not belong to me. And I only felt a slight twinge of "it's not fair, they have two and I have none". Only slight.
But today, I found out that the albatross my brother runs around with is now getting married. What?!? How can this be? The guy still lives at home, doesn't have a job, doesn't even have a driver's license, and is the other half of my brother's dumb choices.
And yet, someone wants to marry him. And here I am, nine days and counting, and my absence hasn't been noticed. There's no one even wondering "hey, what happened to the blond girl who used to follow me around?"
IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!!
Ah, but why am I complaining? I got new shoes. And who needs a husband and babies when I can have red suede three inch pumps and black patent leather peep-toe sling-backs at two and half inches?
Yeah, they're totally the same...
