Word of the Day: aerodyne All that crap I was complianing about in the last entry was no sickness, unless you count menstration a sickness. That was the worst bout of PMS I've ever frackin had. I threw up six times that night, maybe seven, I barely slept at all, and my back hurt from laying in strange positions. I was completely incapacitated yesterday. My hands tingled all day, I barely ate anything for fear of it coming back up, and I slept a majority of the day in spurts. Thank goodness JD had the day off as well, he took care of Patrick all day since I could barely hold him for more than about five minutes without becoming completely exhausted. Absolutely horrible. I didn't think I was going to sleep at all last night, but I surprisingly slept quite well from about nine or nine-thirty to four-thirty this morning. And now I feel quite fine, despite the circumstances. It always hurts to see Laurel. It seems that she's living my plan. She was home this past weekend for her grandmother's 80th birthday party, and so we had a lunch date on Saturday. She was telling me about school and her wedding plans, and it just made me sad. Am I such a loser that I really miss school that much? I'm proud to admit I am. She asked me a few weeks ago during an IM conversation if I would have done anything different in my life, and I said I wouldn't have gotten pregnant. Her responce: 'Then you wouldn't have your beautiful son.' It's so hard to regret or want to take back something that has such a marvelous and perfect product. I mean, honestly, you idiot, let go of your damned Plan. Make a new one. I think about this way too much, how I deviated and what I could be doing. That's it. I'm distracted. I can't ever finish anything anymore.

...do in their life. You've travelled to different parts of the world, you've been in meaningful relationships, you've gotten married, you've had a child. There is a lot to be happy about, but like everyone in their life, there will be days (or months) that despite how great things are, you will wish you were in some other position.

I guess at this point, if I were in your shoes, I would try to make my current situation into my new, ...
... and revised Plan. It may not be what you always thought would happen, but it can still be the best moments of your life.

I love you, take care, and hang in there. You are an amazing human being, Ash.

Love,

that was intense pms. im sorry it was so bad for you.

about your friend laurel, i think its normal. i sometimes see some stuff that tams doing that i 'should' be doing according to some childhood plan i made and it makes me feel like shit...id love to say i learn something but i usually just sulk til scott tells me to get over it.

and when i think of the future, i just cry because things are NOT going according to that same plan i made at8
You are allowed to mourn the loss of your Plan. That is something you dreamed of and wanted for yourself, and now it's been put off. Yes, you got a beautiful son as a result, but still... you Plan is thrown to the wayside.

I think of you and your current situation so often. I feel bad sometimes, but most of all I just admire you for everything you have done. You have done some of the most amazing and meaningful things that a person can..
Ash, just like rain in a drought, some of the best things aren't planned. You have a great husband and a wonderful son. I hope you realize your life is right where it needs to be, you are a great person, loving mother and a wife. Take care, I love ya!

i see people getting married and moving in together and having kids, and while i'm happy for them, it makes me want that stability too.

my ex and i had a plan to get married at 20 and have kids soonafter. i think we were a little crazy, but i still want to be a young mom.

jeff and i don't have a plan at all, we don't really talk about it ever, but i keep trusting that things are going to work out so we are both happy.
