In fact, today I read a book.
An embarrassingly awesome book.
Want proof? Here's the cover:
My favorite lines?
So glad you asked.
Page 11, first sentance:
"She had a musical voice and nice ankles, he noticed before she disappeared."
Sometimes I think about how I will be remembered. I think being remembered as someone with a nice voice and musical ankles ( I really did type it that way..Freudian?)
Like I was saying, being remembered as someone with a musical voice and nice ankles seems like a good place to start.
My other favorite line, page 125:
"Now I'm a downtrodden housewife, kept perpetually pregnant by this male chauvinist."
That was so funny I stopped what I was doing to text Kelly.
Declarations like that are too funny not to share.
I liked it even more because the wife was very happily married and only pregnant with her second. Thats hardly perpetual. She barely had a leg to stand on.
I have tallied the amount I have spent pregnant and nursing.
85 months, give or take.
85 months.
Maybe I should write a book.
I have some great declarations.
I do declare.
Oh. my. I'd like to see your book.
ReplyDeletepregnant and nursing 46 months---but i did do 2 at a time twice so does my number double???? lol
ReplyDeleteI feel you, I am on month 79. And Samuel has no intention of stopping. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, you are like the American Express Gold card. You are double points for everything.
ReplyDeleteYou are efficiency personified!
Rachelle- 79 months.
Wow. How long do you nurse?
I cut them off when they start playing with their food.
Keep it up.
Happy baby = happy mommy!
Stephanie, I agree you should get double points.
ReplyDeleteRachel, I nursed Jeremy to 26 months, Zachary to 14 months (he only stopped because I was pregnant and he did not like the taste) and Samuel is at 13 months right now.
Of course, it does get tiring because they don't want a bottle only mommy and so I have been the one getting up with all of them, putting all of them down to bed for naps, etc. So it can make me really crazy. But I enjoy looking down at the little face while they are nursing. And it does give me a break from work. That is the very nice thing about working from home for 7 years, I have not had to give up any baby time.
