Digital Fortune Teller

   Mid Summer we were blessed with such a fabulous surprise that neither of us saw it coming.

Neither of us were scared.

It was just like it happened at the perfect time.

Weeks of feeling flu'ish and ill, I thought well perhaps why not test my skills and see exactly what had been bringing this on.

BOOM!

There it was....

                    a digital stick sitting on the back of the ivory throne.....

Some people would consider this the stick of goodbye to your life.

PREGNANT

clear as day
 no need to trying again, just to get an answer that I still wouldn't believe after seeing that 8 letter word.

I, BLANCHE, procreated. 

I wasn't sure if it was good for humanity but, I, on the other hand, was kind of emotionless at the time.

NOT nervous,
I wasn't In tears of joy,
I was just...

                                                        There.

I told the Significant Other and he knew what we had to do.

We were gonna PARENT THE SHIT outta this child.

He showed up the quickest that he has ever been on my doorstep from 2hours away and we just sat in silence thinking.

It was sweet and quaint and just nice knowing that i could sit in a room with someone and feel comfortable not having to say a word.

The hardest part of this was telling my  family, 

I grew up in a Roman Catholic home...Went to a Private Catholic school k-12 & well, out of wed lock, this was just hard for most people to grasp....

Of course after a few weeks/months they came around.

My father knew without me even saying the words, like he was a psychic guru or what not.

From that point on I work my big bootyed butt off.

Doing 60+ hour weeks, making sure I graduated on time and before the lil one was here cuz I KNEW I wouldn't return after & working to make sure I too could provide for my increasing appetite as the months went by.

Baby was my GREATEST Inspiration.

SHE was exactly what I needed & JUST at the PERFECT TIME.

She Saved me from staying in the funk that I was in and made me something...

                                                          A Mom!

                                                       I take that title seriously.

                                        & it is one I will NEVER take for granted.
