Oh Dear Lord...

I am unemployed, but I have been told it's perfectly OK because I have a lot of things going on both outside my body as well as in. And as of a week ago I have been put on bed rest for the remainder of my gestational period (3 more weeks--hopefully!). So, I spend my days watching assorted DVDs, or my collection of Sex & the City DVDs, but recently I was given the gift of Instant Netflix (thank you Aussie) and today... I spent the better part of the day watching SOA and a documentary on Oceans... Yep. This is my life now. Although I do have 2 new books I could and should read... But have yet to do so. The closest thing I have picked up remotely book-like has been last year's September issue of Vogue and InStyle. Then I get pissed because I can't wear/afford the clothes featured in the magazines so, I go back to watching TV with the occasional nap in between reruns of Everyday Italian and Tabatha's Salon Take Over.

But, that's irrelevant... This blog was geared toward my frustration with my mom, but I have PB and ramble on about useless crap sometimes....

ANYWAY, last month my baby sister got married (yay for her-whatever) well now that everything (for the most part) is back to normal the feud between my hormonal self and my menopausal mother continues.. Basically my mother has been less than supportive about my pregnancy, I'm pretty sure it stems from that whole "A baby out of wedlock is a sin..."I have yet to find that passage in any bible... My mom tends to judge people right off the bat. She'll never say this but I know she isn't fond of Mal-I'm not sure if it's the age gap (yet my sister's husband is nearly 10 years her senior), maybe she doesn't like his accent (WTF?!) or maybe she is worried once he and I get married I'm going to pack up and move across the globe and she won't get to see her granddaughter.. who the hell knows.

I do know this, if she keeps upsetting me this baby is going to make an appearance a lot sooner than we had anticipated. I'm hoping after my doctor's appointment I can have some time to just breathe and relax.
