You deserve it



There are a lot of expressions out there that I can't even begin to explain; this game gets even more fun when trying to explain stupid expressions to those who are learning English as a second language because let's face it -- half of what we say makes no sense.  There's more than one way to skin a cat?

I digress.

"You guys deserve to be pregnant."

Listen.  I'm not one for disagreeing with the collective awesomeness of Porch & I, but I'm fairly confident that pregnancy isn't something that comes about because someone 'deserves' it.  I could go further into this notion with talk of science and point to the recent political conversations that make me want to punch a wall (really, degrees and/or legitimacy of rape?!  http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/video/2012/08/29/wisconsin-lt-gov-says-rape-is-rape-but-there-can-be-more-forcible-rape), however I value my sanity and assume you value yours as well.

While feeling down I do admit that I've allowed myself to ask questions like "why me?" or better, "why NOT me?" but I know that it's not because Porch & I are bad people or did something wrong and are being punished.  When it comes down to it -- it's science and a cycle.
hmmmm... its here some where just saw it..baby making..hmm..it says we need to have sex...
Or just pray a lot because I'm sure that'll also solve the problem

So can we please stop using deserve in the same sentence as pregnant?
Have an intense need to use 'deserve'?

"You deserve to be punched in the face.  With a chair. "
Now that's funny.
Admit it - you laughed.

Happy hump day!
xoxo
Mrs Porch

Momma K

It's true.  I love my mom.  She's my best source of advice & wisdom, even though it took me roughly 20 years to figure that out.  I just wanted to take a quick second and thank her for all that she's done for me and especially for the things she didn't do for me.  =)  I wouldn't be the person I am today without her. Love you mom! We're pretty fabulous, no?

It doesn't matter how slow you go...

I saw this online the other day and at first, thought how appropriate it is for what Porch & I have been attempting lately (lots of running) but after some deeper thought and revisiting, I've come to think of this as being more fitting for our story on the road to making a tiny human. I think it's appropriate, meaningful, and inspirational all at once.  A great reminder that no matter how slow we move, how many baby steps (no pun intended) we take, as long as we keep moving forward, it's better than giving up in frustration.  I once had a colleague tell me that it was only important that we "keep moving forward, no matter what."  That mantra has stuck with me for years and I've come to apply it personally and professionally.  It's okay that this is taking time.  It's our story and it will never be the same as anyone else's story. Likewise, I am not a runner.  I honestly don't even know why I started running, but damn it.  It feels so ...

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...
