Progress

When my direct report told me that his wife had a miscarriage (her third).  My brain didn't scream, "AT LEAST YOU HAVE TWO KIDS!!!!".  Instead it whispered, "at least you have two kids."

I consider this progress.

When I casually mentioned donor eggs to my husband (as I do about once a month, just to test the waters.)  He didn't say, "Absolutely not, I don't want to discuss it."  Instead he said, "Let's discuss it in a year."

I consider this progress.

It is progress.

I've made progress from where I was (a bitter, hating, depressed, multiple miscarriage infertile survivor). I still have those days where I hear about x,y or z being pregnant and I just can't be happy for them (they're usually celebrities).

Guvnor told me last night that Christina Applegate is pregnant, my response "oh great" - deadpan.

Any progress is good, even if you have those days where progess goes AWOL.

PART 1

THE U.S. CITIZENS HAVE THEIR BRAINS SCRAMBLED VIA FLUORIDE IN THE WATER & ALL THE ASPERTAME THEY CONSUME IN POP DRINKS, BUT THERE IS MORE.....

You see, Bush Sr., & Jr., Clinton, Regan, Carter, Obama, Ford...ALL these presidents are in what is dubbed a SECRET SOCIETY called The Moloch Axis Demoniacs (i coined the phrase myself...Dr. A.P. and i don't use my full name because WHO knows WHAT sinister crap they'd do to me IF they found out?) or M.A.D. for short.

These people, and there’s obviously more of them (Cheney, Rumsfeld etc.) than the ones mentioned, control KEY positions not just in government, business, society etc. They are GRADUALLY erroding MORAL/FAMILY VALUES in society. SO gradual that it's like hairloss! You see it ever so slowly and you have to be a keen eye to boot!

For example, women in the workforce...they go to work so WHO takes care of the kids? Some goofs getting minimum wage who could care less about those kids. Family split apart because NOW both parents work and the cost of life itself purposely increased to perpetuate this separation. Kids grow up with NO moral/family values. Repeat this a few generations and before you know it, you have mindless zombies that don't know RIGHT from WRONG! Easily programmable to get in debt, be anti-christ-like etc.

Also, the coming mark of the beast 666. Remember HOW it all used to be ca$h only? Then they introduced checks, then credit cards to get yourself in serious financial troubles, then ATM cards, and now that STUPID SWIPE-PASS card. What is the purpose of all this? To get people broken down enough and stupid enough through putting FLUORIDE in the drinking water and ASPERTAME in soda drinks/pop cans so we ALL can accept the 666 chip. So NOBODY can buy or sell or own ANYTHING lest he has the mark of the beast (anti-christ) which is 666.

I can go on for days & days as to the subtleties and more examples but i think you all SEE the points i make here. It's all SUBTLE and GRADUAL negative changes day in & day out that these M.A.D. demons (because they are demonic and have placed their trust in demons in exchange for their souls and material possessions here on earth) are passing into laws in Canada, USA, UK, SPAIN, FRANCE etc.

PART 3
Sometimes it makes one wonder WHY there are NO good people that will step up (with God as their guide) and put a STOP to these M.A.D.?? That is one of the BIGGEST questions i ask myself almost everyday! Maybe people are SCARED? Maybe they are waiting for God to MAGICALLY guide them without realizing that God doesn't work in that manner/way.

I just HOPE somebody puts a STOP to M.A.D. or we are ALL going to be really in BIG trouble!

The above is a LOT to think about, believe me, i have been living it since 2005, and jobless to boot! And i am a Dr. so go figure?? But i WILL NEVER SELL MYSELF TO A DEMON OR THE M.A.D. so how about them cookies :)

Peace be unto you and please WAKE UP PEOPLE!
+Dick Cheney Loves the demon moloch from hell and wants to destroy earth too! Just look at what his
Moloch Axis Demoniac HALLIBURTON company did in the Gulf of Mexico with the offshore oil rig…need I say more? Cheney is RESPONSIBLE for the atmospheric CHEMTRAIL pollution program sprinkling toxic Aluminum & Barium Oxide to alter the weather and poison the plants, soil and people to make way for genetically modified foodstuffs to further poison us! STOP THESE DEMONS NOW!!!!!!!

Progress indeed. I'm not sure I'm there with exhibit A yet.

Oh and Pedro Garcia Millan can fuck right off hijacking your blog like that.

Definitely progress.

When it's something serious - not, you know, cleaning the bathroom, although that can be serious for me - I think progress is supposed to be the slow accretion of little things.

Or to borrow a more concise internet trope: progress - ur doin it rite.

At least IMHO :).

ks said...

WOW!!! Pedro had a lot to say! LOL! Anyway you are making progress for sure! Every little step is a step to reclaim ourselves.

I'm glad your hubby is starting to allow the idea of DE to formulate! I think it's hard for them, but dang it...for us to come to the decision and be fine with it...!? That's tough! All my best to you!

This is progress. I hope the progress continues...

Amber said...

I am so glad he is coming around.

Sue said...

Progress is good. It took my husband a while to come around to the idea too.

kdactyl said...

Okay...what is up with the MAD DR above? You really should just delete those....he is a psychopath! Oh..and Pedro...it didn't work...I read the first few lines and realized you were a hijacker so I skipped over...I guess your ploy failed!

Now...on to progress. Yes...that IS progress. I'm happy to hear the mister is thinking of future possibilities...I don't even know you (except from this blog)...but I just feel in my heart that you are not done trying...that you still have a deep, deep desire that cannot allow you to live a child free life without always being clouded in sadness. There are options...they may not be plan A...but I got plan B and Plan C and wow.....sometimes they are just as good or better!!!
Yay for progress!

Patience said...

Progess it is! I am all about those little steps.

AmyG said...

Misfits nailed it. Yay for progress!

Silver said...

This was just the kind of progress that led my husband and I to where we are now. It sounds very good indeed!

Lorin said...

Yay for progress! Now, mark your calendar for a good heart to heart on July 27, 2011.

msfitzita said...

I agree. Progress indeed.

Progress is progress.
In the meantime (as if you need any assvice from ME) soak up the time with just the two of you--some days I feel so lucky to have such a great life with just my DH, doing whatever we want when we want and loving every minute of it. Yeah, it's not the life we imagined at this point, but it's a good one nevertheless.
Thinking of you.

Augusta said...

Wow! That IS progress! So happy to read that there is a sense that things are moving, no matter the pace, instead of standing still (which is so darn painful).

Kelly said...

I just found your blog. I'm so glad that I did.

You've made major progress! Be proud of your accomplishment!

Just found your blog. I'm in the boat with you. We've had 2 miscarriages and have been trying for baby since about June of 2007.

Hang in there.
