Did I SAY the Carnage had Stopped?
March 28, 2006
Well I spoke too soon. Troll Baby has the stomach bug too, on top of his respiratory infection, which was getting better. I hope my baby boy feels better soon. It broke my heart to see him crying over something I can’t control. Dylan is MUCH better, and will be back at school tomorrow.
I haven’t eaten in two days, simply out of fear. I would rather be sick for days than to throw up. Hands down, tossing my cookies is the worst possible thing for me. I’m thinking my body is currently in Mommy-fix-everything-mode and it will hit me when I “have time” to be sick. Ick.
So here I am, surviving on coffee, water and a bit of fruit. I’m SO going to lose weight. At least one good thing might come of this. Ha.
Speaking of losing weight, I’ve been following a blog, Morphing Into Mama and reader’s reaction to her post, False Advertising, and her follow up to clarify. While I agree that spouses should be concerned with each other’s health, and mental health, if my husband bawked at any physical change in me, whether it be weight, hair colour, hair length, whatever, I would be shocked. Fact is, he has loved me through all kinds of hair cuts, weights, everything. I’ve loved him through his hair receeding, through career changes, and weight fluctuations. Not only that, he, like most men, is no idiot. As much attention as this discussion has gotten, I have to say I’m amazed that it’s even an issue. Marriages that can survive and thrive through crisis and tragedy can certainly survive and thrive through superficial changes. Gimmie a break.
Further to this ludicrous discussion, certain people have been bashing the author of this blog elsewhere, attacking her personality, her looks, and her parenting. What the fuck is wrong with people? Just because you don’t agree with a blogger, doesn’t mean you go around bashing her, in her comments and elsewhere. There is someone with feelings writing that blog, and if you wouldn’t say horrible things, like she “has an ass like a Buick” to her in person, then why say it at all? Why all the hate?
It always floors me when people think they can get away with bashing someone online. To judge her entire being on this one opinion? C’mon. Again, I say, gimmie a break.
I hope MIM is as happy within herself, her marriage and her life, as I am. I also hope she takes those awful comments, etc, and flushes them down the toilet, as I would. What a bunch of hooey.
