my ovaries cry themselves to sleep

"Delaying pregnancy can carry consequences." not a news flash BY ANY MEANS, SO THANKS FOR REMINDING ME, CNN, FOR THE GAZILLIONTH TIME, that for whatever unholy reason (am i one of obama's "bitter" ones? maybe. but i don't cling to guns or religion. i don't feel bitter about MOST things) i am unable to find a mate willing to procreate with me.

like I WANT TO FREAKING DELAY A PREGNANCY, cnn. shit. i am five minutes away from robbing a sperm bank at butter-knife-point. in case you don't believe me, see my pathetic litany of posts on this subject here, here, here, here and here for christ's sake. (SIGH) ... I HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE "CONSEQUENCES" of waiting too long since i was 20 and was just trying to be nice and responsible and possibly be married (stupid in retrospect -- i totally should've just lied to someone and said i was on The Pill. hindsight!)]

also, there is this DIRE WARNING from the movie idiocracy about WAITING TOO LONG to get pregnant (watch clip below here!). the movie itself was so-so, but the premise was hilarious: due to the over-procreation of dumb people, the world evolves into a super-idiocracy in the future (where people just watch stupid gross-out reality TV and springer-esque talkshows, masturbating all day long; their crops have all failed because they forgot how agriculture works [they were watering them with a powerade-type drink, lol]).


well, at least i have some cool, smart friends and family doing their part. i would love to be a foster parent or adopt, without a doubt! and i heard that women who (miraculously) do manage to conceive an older ages have longer life expectancies, so that's good ... i'm trying to be positive here, see? see me trying to be positive???

honey. you're only 30. stop acting like you're all washed up. you still have plenty of time. plenty!

i didn't find a mate until i was 33. and just look at all the freaking kids i've got now, a mere four years later. sheesh.

it will happen; you know it will. you'll have the baby you've been waiting for. and until it does, feel free to help yourself to one (or three) of mine. :) you're going to be an awesome mama.

You're still very young to be worrying about washed-up ovaries. You still have a lot of time. Really, you do. I know things may not be happening as quickly as you'd like, but it will happen when it's time. Take heart.

One day you'll look back at this post and laugh because you'll have a house full of tots and their toys, your hair will be a mess and you'll be in need of a shower, and you'll be tired and grumpy and wanting to watch CNN on television instead of this annoying children's program again... But it'll be good, just the same, and all will be right as rain.
