Comments on: falling on my face. http://mooshinindy.com/2009/07/13/falling-on-my-face/ one stink, dozens of different ways.

It's so awful, being such a clod. That's what it's like, it's like being this big huge terrifying creature that doesn't even understand it's own size and strength and then constantly squashing the tiny creatures it wants to be friends with instead of... wow, crappy metaphor. Anyways, I can relate and it sucks. Add to that my problems of long-windedness and my habit of making everything about me without realizing it, oh, and the belief that my opinion must be shared and I must share it LOUDLY until people feel as though I have ATTACKED them (their words, not mine) over something as inane as recent research on the effects of TV on toddler brains, it's a wonder that I have any friends at all. Here's hoping something clicks and we find a way to be a little gentler with our peeps. I do the same thing. It’s so awful, being such a clod.

I am not infertile (well at least I don't think so), but I have been a divorced mom to a 4-yr- old (also a curly-haired blonde girly) for the past three plus years and am over 30. I so desperately want another child and it hurts to see so many of my friends getting pregnant and having babies while I flouder in singledom (it also hurts to see them getting married and buying houses too, but that's a whole 'nother issue). I want to do this whole having kids thing with the right person the second time around (and maybe third or more), but I'm so afraid that by the time I find that right person it will be too late. Going now before I cry more....Anyway, thanks for your viewpoint. This blog brought a tear to my eye.

That 'mean' post you refer to got me through a rough patch i was dealing with at the time, about the exact same problem. I think you're allowed to be angry, especially to things that suck, like infertility. Letting yourself be angry makes you whole; blogging about it gives the rest of us freedom to be angry too. So I hope you keep writing posts like that one. For me, anyway. Because you know you blog purely for my tastes...! Honestly?

I know how this goes. I'm sorry. Sometimes this whole thing just sucks. And that's all I can say about it.

Two weeks after I miscarried our first baby I found out that my sister-in-law was prego and then a week later? My best friend. For a minute I was all HOW DARE YOU (be pregnant, be happy, TELL ME, etc) but then I realized that life goes on for others even when I am stuck down in the trench and yes, it sucks, but it's good too. It gets your head out of your butt a little bit, maybe? Sorta? I don't know. Totally feel you, though. Dude, I totally get it.
