mini rant
Posted by nothingwitty in Uncategorized on May 4, 2010
Sometimes the littlest things irk me.
Like someone saying- when told we are trying for a baby- “Oh, Brian wants one of his own, huh? Wants to be a real dad?”
Because Emma is HIS! He may not have contributed half of her chromosones, but guess what?
Her mannerisms? Brian’s.
When she cries for Daddy? She’s talking about Brian.
When we are shopping? And she see’s something daddy would like? She’s talking about Brian.
The way she puts Ketchup on her eggs??? (*shudder*) BRIAN!
Brian has been part of her life for as long as she can remember and together we are a family. There is no YOURS/MINE/HIS/HER, there is just US. Ours. Our lives. Together.
Brian is a REAL dad. He’s the one who picks her up from school and helps her with her homework and tucks her in at night. He’s the one going to parent teacher conferences! He is the one who calls to talk to Emma when he’s working late. He is the one polishing his .22, because Merrick told Emma she was “Hot”. Brian has done everything a REAL dad does.
The next person who says he’s not a real dad might just get bitch slapped.
In the nature vs. nurture debate you can chalk on up on the “nurture” side for us.
All I asked for was a freaking rotating chair

So I’m watching a Naked Science episode on “How to Kill a Planet”.
I’m totally into it, I’ve had a bad day, so I’m thinking “Hell, WHY NOT? I’d LOVE to head over to Mars and do a little destruction therapy.” I mean OBVIOUSLY, destroying the planet I’m on would leave me unsatisfied, as I’d be unable to appreciate what I’d done, but as far as I’m concerned Mars is expendable.
My destructive device of choice would be an antimatter bomb. We totally can make antimatter- thus far we’ve made 20 nanograms of the stuff! (Think less than a dime)
NOW. To get the job done, I need about 2.5 trillion tons of antimatter… and at the present rate of production, it would take more than the age of the universe to make enough to blow up a planet the size of Earth or Mars.
God Damn.
Fucking inept scientists are ruining my night.

Shall I deal with the happy or the sad first?
The Sad:
My sister in law (she was married to my late brother) lost her brother yesterday- he had a seizure and died… I simply don’t have words-I barely knew him- but I have lost a brother and it hurts. His family was very very close to my brother- it hurt them as much as it hurt us, and for them to loose another brother and for their mother to loose another son…I called my mother to tell her and made her cry. This kind of pain you don’t get over, you just learn to move over and make room for it and make it part of who you are. I miss my brother every day. And now another family will miss theirs.
The Good:
Last night I met Bossy. And she is every bit as sweet and humorous and lovely as you might think from reading her blog, only more. I wish I could keep her. In fact, I’d like to keep ALL three of the ladies who came:)
