Mother's Day for the childess

Thankfully, our church is not one that passes out flowers or does any other sort of overt recognition of mothers. Still, the sermon focuses on how God comforts "just like a mother." As if those who are not mothers cannot provide godly comfort. Or perhaps, I am just sensitive. Actually, most of the day was not too difficult to struggle through.

And just when I was able to issue a sigh of relief for the day being over, on Monday, the female senators wore hats and gave a corny rhymed speech about how great mothers are. I was beyond offended that the childless were left out. Apparently, motherhood is a prerequisite to an election certificate. Why could they not have left well enough alone?

To the RE

Well, with the arrival of yet another period, we are now in the countdown to the initial RE consultation. It is with very mixed feelings that I am seeking assistance. I believe I have an understanding as to how much effort assisted reproduction will entail, but I fear that my optimistic (in denial?) husband does not. I wish I didn't have to think about our baby being created via a catheter or if we get to that point in a petri dish.
