Annoyed at everyone

Oh, this is priceless. We had staff development today, and I went out to lunch with friends. They took the opportunity to tell me that one of the elementary teachers was talking in a meeting about me the other day. She said that I am trying to get PG, that I want more children!! I laughed first, then I got ticked. First, I have had my tubes tied, so if I am trying, WOW, I am really confused!! LOL Second, if we were trying, what difference would it make? Get a life people, there are more interesting people than me - and stop making up stories! GRRRRR

Sounds like she's just jealous of what you have-
A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!

That is too funny....some people just need to find better use of their time than to determine what other's are doing or not doing in their private lives. I am sure that most people don't look at it this way, but if you are asking someone if they are trying to have kids, in a way, you are asking about someone's sex life. Is that really appropriate for others to talk about? It use to make me really mad when people would ask about us and future kids, etc., then I realized that some people are just curious and others just have a lack of respect.

Ah, yeah... I decided to go with it, start a rumor I am having twins - and I want to have one more so I will have: 1,3,1,2,1 - it is a math thing! Sad part is, I am saying it as a joke, and someone will probably believe it and ask me when I am due. So, I went ahead and madeup a due date in Dec.!!

Thats awesome! One of our assistant principals was talking to a teacher I work with that as pregnant (had a baby girl). The teacher was wearing a cute shirt that said something about having a baby. The asst. principal told her she would have to loan the shirt to me when we got back from break. The other teacher then proceeded to congratulate me and give me a hug. I had to clear it up. No more jokes from the asst. principal., though.

Lately we've been reading about how babies are made and even my son is in on the action. He actually said to my husband a few months ago "Aaron hurry up and give Mama your magic fishes so she can make a sister for me!" Let me tell you, hot tea BURNS when it comes out your nose when you choke

I am an only child and I turned out just fine. And I got to do a lot of things that wouldn't have been possible if there had been more children in the family. And there is no guarentee that I would get along with any siblings, sometimes personalities transcend family relationships.

Just like Regina said- no matter how many kids you have, someone will always have a comment.

Yeah, well, Kim, I about choked on my salad when you said tea burns! That is Awesome!

OH, you are so mean!

This reminds me of the meanest thing I ever did in high school. I was dating a guy that went to a different high school. We broke up after a couple of weeks, but he was telling lots of people at his school that he slept with me and then dumped me, which was totally untrue. Well I had friends that went there, and they told me about it. Since he was so proud of "scoring" I told my friends there to start telling people I was pregnant with his kid. Nobody else would even talk to him about dating.

I saw my neighbor last night, we rarely talk cuz they're the type that talk about kids being the "most important mission of your life" type thing.. as in her hubby is the one that told my hubby "well, at some time, you'll have to settle down and do what's important" type thing... anyways, i see her in the grocery store, stop to be friendly say hi and all and i think somehow i put my foot in my mouth.

her kids are now old enough to go to school. oldest daughter is in 2nd grade, youngest son is in kindergarten. my mom worked once we all got into school...so i asked her if she was going to go back to work and she got this plastered look on her face as if she's thinking "just because they're in school, you think i have to go to work?" type face...not that i was being nosey but when your kids are in school, what do you do all day if not go to work? like i said, i'm ignorant in the situation and i know i probably made her day with that comment cuz she told me she was going to continue to be SAHM because "she'd never not be there for her kids". understandable but when they're at school...

don't get me wrong, i'm not saying people have to go back to work.. you do what you want to do with how you want to do it...i guess i just don't quite understand what "would" you do while kiddos are at school if not work or make some type of $$ to help supplement husbands income?

ok, now i feel like a dork and i should probably delete this post cuz it just seems stupid to even ask...but i suppose i did put my foot in my mouth huh? not sure how i'd go about apologizing for something like that....

I don't have plans to go back to work once our kids are all in school either. I'm looking forward to, as Amber said, getting the housework done w/o kiddos stopping me every 2 seconds.

But more importantly I plan to be there for school functions, be a room mother and help out in the classroom, help with field trips, etc. Also, it's a hassle when your kid is sick and has to stay home from school and then try to get the day off of work yourself. It's no biggie if i'm already home. Dr's appts, soccer games, ballet lessons, all easier to fit in IMO. There's PLENTY to do once they're in school. And if I DO get a few hours per day to myself, I consider it reward for the 24/7/365 job as a parent. I don't get sick days, or vacations, or even days off! If I get to have lunch with a friend while my kids are in school, I think i've earned it!

That's not to say i'll never go back to work, but it'll be when I feel the time is right.
