February--Month #5

Tomorrow marks our 5th month LID. Whooopee!! If only it really meant something.
I LONG for the time when it was 6 months from LID to referral.
Heck, I even long for the time when it was 12 months to referral.
And, what scares me most is that I'm probably going to long for the time when it was 24 months to referral.
What can I do? In or out, I'm still living the same life day to day. At least staying in it, every day is a day closer.......
So, tomorrow I have Chinese food to look forward to.
The day after that is Valentine's Day. Big whoop when you've been married 14 years! Jeff always remembers me and won't allow me to cook, so I don't have it too terribly bad!!
It's just kind of sad to see how everyone pushes it. "Show her you love her".....you should "show her you love her" EVERYDAY!! And why is it ALWAYS directed at men? Shouldn't women show him they love him too? It just makes me sad as a mother to a son and a wife to a good man that men are being discounted more and more. Christmas (or "THE HOLIDAYS" now), Valentine's Day, anniversaries, birthdays are ALL about recognizing women, wives, mothers. What about men, husbands and fathers?? Mother's Day is a huge money-making "holiday". But what about Father's Day? No one cares much about Father's Day anymore. It frightens me. If men need women, doesn't it make sense that women need men? I'm all for equal pay, etc. but I'm sick and tired of men being picked on. Every husband and/or father on TV is some bumbling idiot. A buffoon who is never right, never smart and always, ALWAYS one-upped by women, children, pets, anyone.
So there you have my rant for the day.
Boys aren't stupid and you shouldn't throw rocks at them.
