Entry: Growing Season Tuesday, July 15, 2008



So, folks, I'm pretty damn sure I'm pregnant.  About a week along, if so.

Also, our front lawn has EXPLODED in golden chanterelle mushrooms.  Great for our bellies, bad for our relationship with our landlord.  Well, for tit's sake, would YOU run a mower over a crop-yield worth about thirty dollars a day?

I have to admit, part of me wants to congratulate you and the other part is a bit worried.

So, uh. Congrats?

Jason---valid concern, but no worries. The placenta doesn't form and attach until the seventh-eighth week after conception; until then, the embryo is developing independent of the mother's bloodstream. So those silly things we do, like drink and smoke, before we know we're pregnant, can't harm the fetus. Neat design, huh? Besides, that post was written 6/22, and I didn't conceive until at least 7/8. But thanks for the concern :)

My concern was coming from more of a... ...social standpoint than a medical one and is no less valid than it was on 6/22.

Ah, as in, "Damn, this lady is a foul-mouthed lush, don't know if she should be breeding," right? No worries there. Yes, I got very drunk and very profane very early that day; the day before, I'd had to watch a baby die and I'd spent the time in between propping her parents up, I think I was a little entitled, maybe. It's not a common occurence, thank G-d.

If you're saying that based on the content of this blog you don't think I should be breeding, period . . . well, you're entitled to your opinion, thanks for the troll, don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya.

Troll? HA! Amazing what goes for trolling these days.

If one of your kids already has a drunk mommy (despite whatever excuse you feel like throwing to "justify" that) maybe your husband would be best advised to start hitting <i>you</i> where the good lord split you.

There's your troll.

Ah, he already does, once in a while, while practicing the act that conceived said child. You're one of those "alcohol is TEH EVIL, and nobody should ever use chemical therapy to cope with emotional devastation" types, right? Eh. Takes all kinds. I'll take all the hits I can get, both figuratively and literally.
