Boys Will Be Boys...and So Will Men.

I must say that I'm not often surprised by people. There's really no amount of genius or stupidity that makes me gasp in shock and awe anymore. But that's just in the general population. When your job is to represent and defend the United States of America, take it seriously, assholes. This is not middle school. Neither is Afghanistan. We should be able to grow a pair and settle our differences without fists, or better yet just ignore them altogether. I hold you personally responsible for having my husband's back over in the big sandbox, just as I hold him responsible for yours, even though I don't know you. I hope one day someone really does kick your ass and teach you a lesson about GROWING UP. Welcome to the real world. You've been in training for 3 months, and you should be able to handle yourself as a professional Soldier now. Quit being childish.

On another note, its just now 08:00 and I'm sitting in the LabCorp office...waiting. I woke up at 06:00 to get ready, I was here around 07:00. I had to get MORE pregnancy blood work done (go figure). So, I've been fasting since midnight, which does NOT agree with my body. I'm already feeling like garbage walking in to this place, knowing its really about to go down. See, I'm not afraid of needles at all. However, I always get a bit sick when they take blood outta me. See where I'm goin with this? The lady stabs me, I'm fine for the first vial. After that, it's game on. I get lightheaded, nauseous, clammy. So I tell this poor lady, I'm wilting! Anchors away, I'm goin down! My blood was just not filling those vials fast enough for her. The broad at the front desk runs in with a glass of water and the phlebotomist starts rubbing the nasty juice bottle on my neck. I thought I was down for the count. Amazing what water fixes. I was 100% after about 30 seconds. Then away we go, down the hatch with this glucose nonsense. I wish you could've seen the way this lady was trying to pitch this drink to me. Essentially, its flat Orange Fanta. She made it sound like liquid edible gold. Wonder if she's ever tried going into sales? I had 5 minutes to drink it. Longest 5 minutes of my life.

So, here I wait to go get stabbed again in 10 minutes. I will be so glad if I never see another needle again after having this kid.
