Let's Face it, My Whole Life is Pretty Random.

A few funny things have happened in the last couple of days. Things that just make me want to shake my head. I will tell you about them.

I had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. We went down a little early so we could drop off an application for a bigger place to rent. Apparently, before we submit said application I need a letter from my doctor saying I'm pregnant. My rounded belly was just not proof enough. I thought, what a great coincidence that I'm heading over to the doctor's office right now!

My appointment is sadly typical. The doctor has forgotten that it's twins. She has a vague recollection of seeing me before. She also giggled when I told her my feet are swollen and my boobs are itchy. I react typically, I "yell" at her for not remembering me...again, and sarcastically tell her that laughing at my pain is very helpful. Since I know that everything in this town costs mucho $$, I ask how much a letter confirming my pregnancy would cost. She also finds it comical that my belly is not proof enough. She says $30. $30 to say "yes she is pregnant." Seriously? Then she tells me that usually it's $60, but I'm pregnant with twins, and her sister had twins, so she likes to do nice things for people who are pregnant with twins. The best part about it? She spelled pregnant wrong. Oh yeah. But it's stamped and certified. Hopefully I don't get notice back that a condition called pregnanat is not grounds for a larger townhouse.

Today I had the day off. I still had to get up early to take X to school, but there was no poop on my arm when I got home from that errand today, as there was yesterday. A's daddy decided to brave the day on his own. I'm actually looking forward to hearing how he did in the morning! I don't know if I'm hoping he gets the same crazy terrible diapers I dealt with yesterday or not. Would that be mean? Anyway. The funny part about this day off. I've been taking X to school since late January. This includes driving to the school, parking in the small legal space provided, and crossing the street. I have seen the same 2 crossing guards nearly everyday for the last 5 months. 3 weeks ago a one-year old started making the trek across said street with us, perched on my growing belly. Today, she was not there. The crossing guard says, "You're missing someone!" I explained that to the baby girl, I am just the babysitter, so she's not actually with me 24/7. The crossing guard was seriously perplexed! Totally thought A was mine! She never asked where I procured this random 1 year old! She just magically appeared one day. So much for the powers of her observation skills! And yes, both crossing guards double as teacher's aides.

I don't know if I'm terribly mean. I like to think of it as finding humour in strange places. Sometimes it's hard to stay positive all the time if you don't laugh at silly things!
