...you understand that it's 2006 in some parts of the world.

...you never know how many days next month will have
...you know that babies come in batches
...you've been fingerprinted four times, but never committed a crime
...you automatically assume everyone who is expecting is having a girl
...you own new clothing in 3 little sizes for all 4 seasons (because you don't know when or how big)
...you look twice when you see a lady bug
...you're more interested in what will happen in March 2006 than in March 2009

So true!! Thanks for the laugh!
That is SOO TRUE. I love it.
I just keep hanging in there thinking something's gotta give.
Oh Dannye... this is what I needed to read. I may have to copy this and put on my blog...
Hope you are doing well... I have had a few "bad" days as the wait continues, but I guess that is to be expected when one is pregnant for two years, seven months, and one week!!
So well written...
we will get there..
Have a great week..
That is so funny and way too true!
Oh man this is so cute did you write it?
