My brother keeps telling me things happen for a reason. Perhaps we don’t know or understand the reason at the time, but there is a reason. (And he’s not a religious man) I’m begining to belive him on this one point.
Congratulations, you’ve beaten last year. Best wishes as always for you and the lemonheads (and family).
Why do such sweet names always want to make me cry? Soon, the lemonheads will be there and you’ll be so busy – and I hope so happy. At least nobody will be kicking your lung anymore.
I, too, would have gotten a prescription for my back pocket, just in case. You gotta take care of your babies. Just like you’ll be taking them to the pediatrician soon and getting diagnoses of “gas” and “diaper rash.” It’s ok! You’re a MOM, and you have responsibilities to the little ones!!
Enjoy your last holiday weekend with just you and A for a long time! Ok, maybe it’s already not just the 2 of you if you count the ongoing kicks and squirms and such. I realize that this pregnancy has been *hard* but I’m really enjoying living this vicariously though you and cannot wait to experience your favorite holiday (it’s coming pretty soon!) in a whole new light!
Here’s to a lovely, non pearshaped, long weekend for you. I think the prescription is a marvelous idea, so don’t worry about that pissy attitude.
I agree about “this guy.” My Percy and Spencer are rescues as well, and he gives me the all out heebie-jeebies. I want him to go ahead and go away and never come back. The only thing about the story that has made me smile a little, is that some other guys have made “this guy” chew toys and given some of the money to animal charities. I think he will do jail time, but it won’t be near enough for me.
Congrats on the huge leaps and bounds you have made in therapy. As a fellow therapy warrior, I know how hard and amazing it is.
Relax this weekend, okay?
*sniff*
Have a lovely, easy, worry-free weekend!
Brave, sweet Helen… what a momma you are…and forever shall be.
As one who has lost one I share your feeling of thanks to havebeen chosen for the three weeks graced my life with hers. Your comment brought tears- again.
And that person is so vile as to defy descriprion. And there have been claims that dog fighting is a sport just like any other. Non-sense. But why does this surprise anyone? Seems to me many pro athletes have devolved to thugs anyway.
I’ve had all sorts of doctors give me prescriptions to have on hand. I once had my dentist prescribe me an antibiotic in conjunction with my root canal. He wrote it for three refills because he knew I had horrible insurance and it was a good, general antibiotic in case I got sick. In college my doctor at home used to write prescriptions for me as well to take with me to school.
Ain’t no shame in a little safety measure in your cabinet, babe.
If a packet of pills in the pantry helps you get through the night (or three-day weekend) then so be it. It’s not such a huge price, you know.
And you’re totally, completely worth it.

I noticed in the article that someone remarked on the furor and hatred surrounding what this man did is worse than if he had done it to people. I’ve noticed that too over the years and felt it myself.
Personally, I think the amount of helplessness is why. Anything with children, babies or animals being hurt and somehow, I become more enraged. I know it’s not “fair”; if an adult gets hurt, they are just as helpless, right? But maybe not…maybe we are thinking at least an adult can fight back somehow, somewhat. There is a chance they can save themselves somehow. And if they do survive, an adult has a chance to do something about it. Pets and children cannot.
There was no chance for these dogs. No chances for babies or small children who are hurt or killed, either. None. They are all so helpless. Maybe that’s why most/many of us tend to become even more angry about such atrocities. Most good people want to protect the helpless, it is ingrained in our psyche.
As for everything having a reason, like your miscarriage…that’s hard. What is the reason for the dogs being killed uselessly? For babies and children raped, murdered, etc.?
I would suggest if there was a reason for your loss, Helen, it wasn’t about you. It wasn’t *your* reason, but another’s reason. I do believe we are all vulnerable to one another. “Reasons” come from all sides, not just our own. Which is why I get annoyed when people “pray” for their team to win or whatever…well, what about the other team? They have just as much right to win as your team does. Anyway, I know you’re feeling sad and a lot of this has to do with it being getting ready for the birth. :)
You’re going to be such an awesome mom, hell, you already are! :)
That man (and I use the term loosely) is scum!
Good for you Helen for being so very pregnant and for doing so well. I am glad that all is well with your soul and body. You will be a very busy woman soon, but a happy one for sure. The lemon heads will have a nice mommy. Take care.
Life going on is sometimes the hardest thing to deal with. I can’t believe it was a year ago, so much has happened since then.
And the guy? How in the hell in this day and age do people still engage in such a barbaric practice? And he still gets to play ball? I just don’t get it. I hate to break anyone’s bubble, while football may generate a lot of cash, it is not that important. He is in old terms a psychopath, unable to feel empathy for anything around him, and using animals to bolster his own small ego. It makes me sick.
As a devoted EDS reader and a devoted Tolkein fan I offer three suggestions:
Galadriel
Arwen
Aragon
All royalty and of character.
Seemed to me to representative of the home thye will grace with their reciprocated love.
