More Confessions...



the bigger confession I should have drawn a comic strip of was an earlier sin I committed today. (funny how as a jewish superstitious atheist i freely employ all this dramatic wording from other religions, esp. these days, the catholics with "confessions" and "sin"... one thing i've gotten even more comfortable with due to pregnancy is all my inconsistencies and total contradictions...)

anyway earlier today i purchase a pair of designer sunglasses on sale, still at a high cost though they were more than half price. there was no need for them. even if i eventually have money to turn them into prescription sunglasses and wear them as regular ones until them, i do not need them. but they were ultra cool looking and i enlisted a friend who has kids herself and is trying not to spend extra money to tell me they looked great on me and stand there while i bought them.

this is not a purchase to be making with only weeks left before baby girl arrives, when i am in debt and will need extra money in the first couple of months of motherhood. on the other hand i'm sure the baby will be happy to see me stroll her down the street in her new lightweight stroller wearing those sunglasses and the sandals i got a few weeks ago in bright colors to match her stroller. she will be delighted and thinking, this was a very necessary purchase. i was there when you made it and got a nice rush of excessive spending high from you, thanks mom... of course this is not something i will be doing when she is here outside my belly.

also getting ready to get rid of another major sin very soon. the tv! i grew up with no tv and we both want to get rid of our tv and bring up baby without tv. i'll stil want a screen of some sort to watch movies on as i do not consider my film interests to be bad influence on baby and they are easier to keep away from her. i returned my baby einstein dvd after reading that article that came out and realizing it's best of all to just read to her and have denzel play music and sing to her...

otherwise going through all kinds of ups and downs and emotions. yesterday i passed the vet elvis goes to and saw a vet tech walking a little cute doggie with one of those plastic shades on her head and practically burst into tears. not sure if it was seeing the elizabethan collar on the dog or somehow missing elvis' baby days or some kind of reminder of times elvis has been in the vet or sick. almost cried on the subway tonight after intense therapy session...

having weird dreams again like i did in the beginnign of being pregnant...

The ups and downs of having bipolar is hard enough but when you take away the meds and add a pregnancy...look out, the ups, downs and turn arounds are even more difficult. You are doing a great job, hang in there it will change soon and you will have your little girl to put your energy into. It will be o.k. :)
*Scratch* for Elvis (yesterday was 30 years since Elvis dissappeared, I know he is out there some where and will return one day :o yes, I need therapy :o

I think it's only natural to want something that makes you feel pretty right now. It is a difficult stage.

I think that it is wonderful that you are getting rid of your TV. It is quite a sacrifice! But it will be good for your baby. There were years I had TV growing up, and years I didn't. And we never had cable (or very good reception either). So I watched some, but not too much.

hi ol' lady. elvis is alive and well in a fifteen year old schnoodle!
hi amanda, yes it is difficult. hard to move around, hard to sleep, feeling big and uncomfortable, yuck! today i got a pedicure which was much needed after two separate occasions of bursting into tears. hormones all over the place...
hi emilija,
