Lately things have been yucky and stinky and vomity (this is my blog and I say vomity is a word) and snowy and for fuck’s sake I can’t take it anymore!
Okay, that’s probably an exaggeration. The ‘can’t take it anymore part’ anyway, because really, my options are limited.
Let me fill you in. So, of course there was the unfortunate gynecological incident. Then we all got this terrible, no good stomach flu that almost killed us. I’m exaggerating again.  No one was near death. But it was gross. Very, very disgusting.
Then we all got colds. Bad ones. With snot. Lots of it. Then we got the stomach virus AGAIN.
During these bouts of sickness I was, of course, having migraines because as you all know, my body hates me.
So, now we are finally, finally all feeling at least half-human and all the things I haven’t accomplished in the past month have grown into this gigantic pile of Things Stephanie Has Fucked Up and I’m really afraid it’s going to topple and bury me beneath it.
Now I’m going to leave you with a random sampling of Shit My Family Says to Me and hopefully I’ll be more coherent and less whiny next week.

Thing 3: The cat has a hole in her butt. I just saw it.
Husband:Â Uh…
Me:Â Um…
Thing 3:Â Don’t worry, I didn’t put anything in it.
*************************************************************************
Thing 2:Â (Loudly, at dinner with extended family) I don’t even know why we celebrate Easter.
Me: *puts head in hands* Oh. Dear. God.
*shocked silence*
Thing 2: *Very quietly* I mean, I know why it’s a holiday, Jesus and stuff, but I just don’t get the rabbit.
**********************************************************************
Me:Â Don’t be ridiculous, I’m awesome.
Thing 1: Yes. If by “awesome” you mean hard to love.
************************************************************************
Husband:Â I’m not here to judge.
Me:Â *reflects silently*Â I think I am.
Husband: Oh, I know. I think you’re judging for the both of us.
Me: Haha! Right? I’ll handle this, don’t worry.
Husband: You should tell people that. Say “I’m judging for two.” and rub your belly. Then when they say, “Oh, are you expecting?” you can say, “Yeah, I’m expecting you to fuck up.”
*******************************************************
Thing 1 to Husband: How did we wind up with this version? We need an upgrade.
Me: *Sputters* What?! You’re think you can just trade me in for a new model?
Husband:Â Mom two-point-whoa.
*Both nod.*
***************************************************************
Thing 3: Mom! Momma! Leeloo is a vampire!
Me: Leeloo is not a vampire.  Leeloo is a cat.
Thing 3:Â Then why does she have pointy teeth and sneak around at night?
Me:Â …
Thing 3:Â *Triumphant*Â Because she’s a vampire.
