The Inside of My Face

Am still unpregnant, if you've been wondering.  Casey wrote a post that brought my lately-buried feelings about unpregnancy to the fore, and I would rather say it than pretend I don't care, like I've been lately doing, even to my own face.  (The inside part of my face, not the outside.  I can do that.  I'm inside of it.)

(Don't be jealous.  It's as gross as it sounds.)

(Although you can probably do it, too, just, with your own face, not mine, and that's -- as it should be.)

Um.

Casey says what I haven't wanted to, although I *have* wanted to, I just haven't WANTED to.

So read her post and then you'll know what the inside of my face looks like.

 

Aren't you excited.

I love you, Deb.

You are not unpregnant. You are Deb. And we love you.

Oh yeah - I hear you. And her. This is my comment from her site: It sucks. I remember when my little sister got pregnant, and then again, and I was just getting older. After much money & many needles, I got pregnant and had my little baby – and then my sister got pregnant “by accident”. I usually keep that to myself, but it hurt.

That was a really great post she wrote. Thanks for pointing me over there.

I always wonder, what IS the right thing to say? Because it feels stupid to say nothing. And it feels stupid to say meaningless things. And criminal to say the wrong thing. Lately I've been trying to stick to "That really sucks. I'm sorry." Which is simply the truth.

*hugs* Deb. There really isn't anything more to say than what jaelithe said. It sucks. A lot. And I'm sorry.

There are so many situations where people don't know WHAT to say, so they just say something that makes THEM feel better but it comes out like a slap across the face to the person they are attempting to "comfort". So...this is me...saying nothing, but thinking of you fiercely.

I am unpregnant as well-- not for lack of wanting. Well, yes, for a lack of wanting on my husband's part, which I, well, I don't know what to do about that.

That's the inside of my face at the moment.

As for your facial interior, well, to quote someone wiser than myself: It sucks. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about the inside of your face. I wish I could offer up something to alter it.

[moosh in indy.]

It took me a long ass time to be able to say any of that to any part of any faces, including mine.
May I offer up some faces to punch? I hear there's some on capitol hill just dying for a good smack.

I wish I had eloquence here, but all I have is empathy. So much of it.

*sigh*

I wish I could say that I cannot relate, but unfortunately, I can. It seems like everyone is pregnant right now too.

I have been wondering but have been to scared to ask. Loved the pics of Jack you've posted on FB. We need to talk about a blogger reunion this summer and I'd be interested in coming up your way, if need be. Mrs. G of Derfwad Manor lives in Washington State and I'll bet we could get others to come over.

I hope all is well inside your face, and elsewhere, Deb. I miss your posts. You.
