This weak I did not begrudgingly trudge back to work. I did not endure ridicule at the hands of my co workers with comments such as "We don't care if you have kids, but you should go work somewhere else while you have them." and "We don't think you should get paid your supplement while you are on maternity leave. We should get it instead." I did not skip work Tuesday nor did I stay barricaded in my office Wednesday until, when forced to speak, cry a bucket of 1st trimester tears while my male counterpart bowed his head in shame.
I did not invite my SIL to our house but warn her that it was a mess that I didn't have time to clean. I certainly did not tell her that "she was always welcome in my filth!"
I did not guilt my DH for drinking the last Nehi Peach drink. I didn't tell him that because there were no other options, he forced me to drink the baby's juice.
I did not pack apple sauce in my daughter's diaper bag when we went out to dinner with G's friends because she likes apple sauce above all other foods, and we would have a better chance of looking like good parents if she was to eat without a fight.
I did not confess to my Pastor's wife that I only made it to church once in June, but that I promise to do much better in July.
I didn't feel bad that this happened to my daughter b/c her bumper was in the washer.I certainly did not take a picture of this before I gently freed her.
So, what did you not do?
