I hosted a quesadilla lunch today and had 3 of my sisters(sister and 2 SIL's) and mom over. One of my SIL is PG and due at the end of October. My other SIL(one that was married to my brother) got re-married in May and announced today she is PG, due in March. After everything she has been through with losing my brother(her husband) I'm genuinely happy for her. Kinda stings that it happened so quickly, but I kinda figured it would. Go figure! .....So the one that's due in October had apparently just bought an economy size box of tampons and then found out she was KU. Tampons were then dubbed "magic" and were given to SIL who got remarried. she had just bought an ovulation kit and found at she was preggors! Now they have some how been dubbed "magical" as well. Then my sister was telling us aboutsone "magical plant" that you're supposed to put by your bed to enhance fertility. I think it's a bunch of hooey if you ask me, but whatev's! Well, they tell me today that they're gonna give me these three "magical" items and see what happens!?!? ....Me, being the smart @$$ that I am, said something to the effect of, "hmm, all these years I've been thinking it was sperm that would be beneficial, but sure y'all go ahead and give them to me. I'll try anything!" Of course we all had a good laugh but seriously do they really think I would've spent $20,000+ already if all I needed was tampons, ovulation kits and a plant? After they all left I had a mini pity party and ate the better part of a chocolate Easter bunny I had found in the pantry, a big fountain coke and four advil. Do I know how to throw a bash, or what? Ha!
In other, semi-related news. I got a job! Of course it doesn't start for 10 months, but SIL has already said she's hiring me as the nanny after her maternity leave is over. So today was good news and great news!
My sister called to check on me(after SIL announcement) and I told her what I repeatedly tell myself. "It's not about me." it's my own little mantra, I use it on a daily basis! ; ) SIL has told me for awhile that she wanted me to be the nanny whenever she did get pregnant, so I've been cheering her on, so I could have a cool job. Well, I asked for it and I got it!
