One of my dearest girlfriends had her water break in the middle of the night, and I just found out from a listserve we are both on. 15 hours later, and the hospital 2 miles away, and I don't find out until now, and probably won't hear from her until morning. Like she has time to call me! I know, I know, but h e double hockey sticks! Either I'm her damned sister or I'm not, you know? I knew that she didn't want anyone there, but does that mean keep everyone out of the loop too?
Add to it that I slept most of the day, and that my husband is really depressed because he just decided to get more nursing training and all the programs are full (DUH! Its MAY!!!) so now he feels like he is spinning his wheels, and finals week is just NOT the time to crump out!!!
And he's at one of those finals as I write, so I can't even get a hug about my very mixed feelings about my friend being in labor - I'm glad and hurt, I am jealous, and I want to be able to help, even if only by sending good thoughts. I guess that I just wish that she knew how important she is to me, and that I'd want to know, darn it!
End of rant, I promise.
Rant as much as you need to...better than holding it in :) hangeth in there Susan!
