<p>Sad, those octuplets –
like a strange, twisted hobby
for a child-woman.</p>
<p>At first I did think
just leave the poor gal alone,
but something seems wrong.</p>
<p>Some “child care expert”
who spends her time handing off
babies to her mom!</p>
<p>Having kids is not
even remotely the same
thing as raising them.</p>
<p>What about the state?
coolweather, will they pay you
whatever they owe?</p>
<p>That fertility guy
Wanted to plant 8 eggs
To boast his facility has highest result.</p>
<p>The state owes me too
But I may just get
I O U.</p>
<p>But even six eggs –
when she can’t raise her first six –
seems ridiculous.</p>
<p>Bet California
has seen the last of people
who’ll overpay tax.</p>
<p>His success ratio is 10 percent
While the average on the nation
Is 33 percent.</p>
<p>That’s right,
You’d rather owe
Instead of letting them IOU.</p>
<p>Does that mean they thought
that from all those embryos
she’d get one baby?</p>
<p>Not unusual
way back when we were trying:
plant six to get one</p>
<p>It may be diff’rent
now we have better science
ratio may have changed</p>
<p>This morning coffee
brought me unwelcome focus
on the year ahead.</p>
<p>Of course he must go.
Things will go well, on balance.
I’m just not ready.</p>
<p>I have never been
really ready for any
of son’s new phases.</p>
<p>They come anyway.
And, as you say, on balance
it all works out well.</p>
<p>Thanks, mafool.
Still miss D so achingly
sometimes. So it goes.</p>
<p>I don’t really think
I’ll miss S1 any less.
Differently, I guess.</p>
<p>So much for thinking
that having a third child home
makes things easier!</p>
<p>Okay, parent pals,
That’s sufficient moroseness
from me. I’ll buck up.</p>
<p>HMW pucker up
Valentine glitter spills over
hugs n kisses soothe</p>
<p>Spring training starts soon
and I will see the Phillies
play in Clearwater.</p>
<p>I hope Chase Utley
is better; Ryan Howard
still strikes out too much.</p>
<p>Pitching rotation
is still an issue for them
but Cole Hamels rules.</p>
<p>Ibanez plays left
Burrell is gone - righthanders
are scarcer for now.</p>
<p>Will they keep Chris Coste?
He has heart and plays hard like
Philadelphia.</p>
<p>I’m ready to watch
and hope and pray and cry out
for my team again.</p>
<p>HMW
your smallest one may soothe you
yet heart holes remain</p>
<p>One with shaggy hair
The other with pony tail
Missing is unique</p>
<p>Mine leaves me solo.
I’ll miss him, but I can’t wait
to watch his wings spread.</p>
<p>(Delighted to find
parents’ association
where he will attend! </p>
<p>Great outlet for me
to be an unobtrusive
helicopter mom! :D)</p>
<p>When I mentioned that
to my own mother, she just
smiled and shook her head… :rolleyes:</p>
<p>geek_mom’s Location
changes and amuses me
clever clever gal</p>
<p>Abscence can be good
Possible flunk out worries
Does stress cause weight gain???</p>
