Today, I have learned Three Important Things.
- Nobody makes maternity slips. Nobody at all. So if you’re expecting and you’re trying to find out, just quit now because they do not exist. I learned this the hard way after going to three stores this afternoon and then scouring the interwebs.
- Rather along those lines, finding a moderately attractive maternity bathing suit is like finding a four leaf clover in a field in Ireland: not an easy thing. The last time I wore my regular bathing suit, both brothers laughed at me. There was little to no chance I was going to be wearing it again any time soon, so today I went searching. Everything contained either copious amounts of flowers (which Joey hates), looks like a tent, or is a pukey shade of green. We wound up with a floral option, and Joey said he could tolerate it for the next few months. He’s a champ.
- Skunks are legal to keep as pets in the state of Indiana. I know this because this evening, I met someone who has a skunk for a pet. This is fantastic. Now I can revive my campaign to get a pet skunk!!! Joey is dismayed. I figure he’ll get over it in a year or two.
This is all I have learned. I need to go to bed now before my exploding headache gets any worse. So far I give the second trimester a B on not feeing like I’m going to throw up all the time, and an F on constant headaches.
I thought of something really funny but now I can’t remember it because of the headache (happens all the time, I’ll have something I want to post and then I forget it because my head hurts so bad; lame-o) so now I think I’ll just go to bed.
Goodnight and good luck.
